Snake-Eyes Deck #771204 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Mechanic: Fusion/Link/Synchro/Ritual
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Link/Fusion/Synchro boss monsters (Promethean Princess, Amblowhale, Dark Magician of Destruction, Master of Chaos) supported by Snake-Eye FIRE-monster recursion; Going-second Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon and Diabellstar board-breaking plus Ash Blossom and Solemn hand interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Snake-Eye Oak or Snake-Eye Ash starter, chain Bonfire / Divine Temple of the Snake-Eye to set up a Link or Fusion boss on T1-T2; theoretical only because five cards are Forbidden
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Accusation and Dominus Impulse as hand and backrow interaction, then convert with Flamberge or Diabellstar
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Mulcharmy Purulia draw engines when the hand is empty; Snake-Eye GY recursion from Snake-Eye Poplar and Oak
• After siding: None: the Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards (Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye, Magicians' Souls, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Baronne de Fleur) are run at 1 copy each, and the Side Deck is empty, so the score is a capped theoretical read and not a normal Final Contextual score. The structural read is that the core Snake-Eye engine (Oak, Ash, Poplar, Flamberge, Diabellstar) can start its Link and Fusion bosses, and the hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Accusation, Dominus Impulse, Maxx C) gives real interaction density. Consistency is held back by 70 off-archetype copies across 25 sub-archetype names, a 35% chance that no core card is in a 5-card opening hand, and 10 Mulcharmy and draw-engine copies that can brick. The score was built from the system's consistency, median output, and interaction, and not by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity, which the evidence does not show (no tournament link, no combos recorded). Removing the five Forbidden cards and adding a Side Deck would be the minimum needed before this list could be scored normally.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (strategy label unclear; Combo weights would give a similar result). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in format) (-12); Illegal list cap (-9); No side deck (0). Final formula: Theoretical only: Illegal list capped at 25 (0.80*Structural 48 + 0.20*TournamentReliability 40 = 46.4, minus banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 34.4, then capped at 25 for illegal legality)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and backrow interaction: Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Accusation, Dominus Impulse, Mind Mirror Force
• Extra Deck coverage with Links, Fusions and a Synchro, each with a route in the Snake-Eye and Dark Magician theme
• Strong ATK bosses: Snake-Eyes Diabellstar, Dark Magician of Destruction and Master of Chaos

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards are run and cannot be played
• Empty Side Deck, so no post-side plan at all
• 70 off-archetype copies across 25 sub-archetype names dilute the Snake-Eye engine
• Limited and Semi-Limited density is high, and several starters are single copies

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye is a core Snake-Eye starter route; without it the engine needs other Snake-Eye starters
• Single-copy starters (Snake-Eye Ash, Snake-Eye Oak, Flamberge) mean one dead starter removes most of the turn-one plan

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: five Forbidden cards at 1 copy each, 0 legal copies (Verified); Main 55 (within 40-60), Extra 15 (within 0-15), Side 0 (Verified); Copy histogram: 17 singletons, 4 doubles, 10 triples (Verified); Hand-trap count 10 and negation text 16 (Verified count); Archetype core group: 10 copies, P(at least one in 5-card opening hand) 0.6488 (Verified math)
• Inferred: Consistency: P(starter live) and brick estimates (Inferred); Interaction quality and layering of hand traps (Inferred); Combo floor and median estimated from text only (Inferred); Going-second hand-trap availability 0.719 (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample supplied (Provisional); Tournament reliability: no tournament link (Provisional)
• 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 exists for this deck (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics flag S:P Little Knight, I:P Masquerena, Amblowhale and Promethean Princess as missing from the deck, yet they appear in the Extra Deck list; the stats and the card list disagree and the core-present percentage (55.6) is unreliable Side Deck is empty, so no post-side evaluation is possible Deck title is null
