Clown Crew Deck #771099 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute Summon and Ritual/Fusion boss monsters (Clown Crew Biancaviso, Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) backed by Clown Crew recursion; Link and Synchro pressure from Clown Crew Dristy and Clown Crew Meteor when the Extra Deck is reachable
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Clown Crew Rehearsal or Flair to search a Clown Crew card, convert via Tribute into Biancaviso or a Ritual/Fusion boss, and hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a hand trap (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence) on the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Clown Crew Malabarisme and Matinee Operatics
• Recovery: Recycle Clown Crew Flair, Rehearsal and Cappello from the GY and banish-recover via Clown Crew New Face and Finale
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Clown Crew starter: the archetype core group has about an 88.5% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the Rehearsal, Flair and Biancaviso lines give it several ways to start. Its interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 13 hand-trap-tagged cards and 25 removal-text cards, and about 79% of going-second 6-card hands contain at least one hand trap. Conversion from the starter to a boss is text-inferred only, because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median scores are held modest. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from Clown Crew being a popular archetype, and the individual card scores were not averaged. The deck is illegal in its current form: Ash Blossom is run three times against a limit of two and the Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a maximum of 15, so the final score is capped low and the evaluation is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54.4, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-17.5); Banlist exposure (-4); No side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 53.5 + modifiers, then capped low at 30 because the list is illegal; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine opens about 88.5% of the time in a 5-card hand
• Dense interaction: 13 hand traps and 25 removal-text cards
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage at about 79%
• Multiple GY recursion routes through Flair, Rehearsal and Cappello

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom at 3 copies and Extra Deck at 16
• Off-archetype dilution: only 25 of 59 main copies are exact Clown Crew names
• No recorded boards, so combo conversion cannot be verified
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Single Clown Crew starter dependency for the boss conversion
• Extra Deck overflow means one Ritual/Fusion route may be unreachable without cutting an Extra card

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 59 and Extra 16 counts from legality; Ash Blossom copies 3 vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck 16 vs max 15; Card text and stats from resolved card list
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and hand-trap probabilities (hypergeometric); Interaction density from text role hints; Going-second hand-trap coverage
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rate No side deck: post-side plan cannot be scored Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
