Millennium Deck #771267 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts, Raviel, Hamon, Number 38) summoned through Sacred Beast and Phantasm enablers; Link and Fusion pressure (Avramax, Lacrima, Desirae) once a board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 searcher (Thunderclap, Hamon, Raviel or Tract) into a Sacred Beast Special Summon, with hand traps held for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Sister, Maxx C, D.D. Crow and Nibiru to interrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild from the GY
• Recovery: Recur Sacred Beasts from GY and banish via Released and Dragonroar effects; Engraver and Lacrima return from GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck list has an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score is built from the deck as a system and does not average any card scores. The deck has 29 searcher-text cards, so it almost always finds a starter, but the Sacred Beast, Thunder Dragon, Fiendsmith and Fabled/Millennium pieces only partly overlap, and the archetype core is live in about 42% of opening hands. Disruption is the strongest area: 8 hand traps and 10 negation-text cards give it several ways to answer a first summon and to recover from GY. Closing power is high because the Extra Deck holds 4000 to 5000 ATK boss monsters, but the deck has only 6 exact-name Millennium cards out of 51 main-deck copies, so engine coherence is weak. The deck is illegal as built: two Forbidden cards are run and the Extra Deck is four cards over the OCG limit, so it is capped at 25 and marked structural-only. Popularity did not earn points, and no tournament or meta data was supplied, so Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4); illegal-deck cap (-9). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(49.1) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + Modifiers(-12) = 34; capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Dense searcher text (29 cards) makes a starter in almost every opening hand
• Layered disruption: 8 hand traps plus 10 negation-text cards
• Boss monsters at 4000 to 5000 ATK give closing power
• GY recursion gives resource regeneration after an interaction exchange

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden cards are run, so the list is illegal as built
• Extra Deck is 19 cards, over the OCG limit of 15
• Only 8.6% exact-name archetype purity: four engines compete for space
• Empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• The Sacred Beast enabler count (Thunderclap, Released, Paradise, Combined Assault) decides whether a boss can be summoned, with no alternative route
• Forbidden Caesar and Gryphon removal from the list still leaves the Extra Deck over the limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 2 Forbidden cards run (Knightmare Gryphon, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar); Extra Deck has 19 cards, above the OCG maximum of 15; Side Deck is empty; Exact-name Millennium purity is 8.6% (6 of 51 main-deck copies)
• Inferred: Searcher density gives 99% P(>=1 searcher in a 5-card hand); Archetype core is live in about 42% of 5-card hands; Hand trap P(>=1 in 6-card going-second hand) is 66%; Disruption layering and GY recursion lower the floor of interruption and recovery
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; D13 matchup fit is provisional: archetype share unknown
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be scored Deck title is null; the deck is identified by archetype only
