Goblin Biker Deck #771286 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 18/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: None reliable. The list has no recurring boss or engine; damage comes only from equip-based Armed Samurai - Ben Kei and Mask of Brutality, which need a monster that the deck does not consistently find.; Card-advantage grind via Upstart Goblin, Jar of Greed, Reckless Greed and Graceful Charity (Forbidden), with Heavy Storm/Ring of Destruction as clearing tools.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set or play a monster, then use Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu (flip search for an Equip Spell) or Sangan to reach an Equip; draw with Jar of Greed or Upstart Goblin. Heavy Storm or Solemn Judgment are held to clear or protect.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Solemn Judgment (1 legal copy) or Royal Decree and Ring of Destruction to answer the opponent's first board; then rebuild with equips on any surviving monster.
• Recovery: Sangan (once per turn) and Reinforcement of the Army (1 legal copy) search for a monster; Cyber Jar resets the board and re-summons.
• After siding: Not assessable: Side Deck size is 0, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system and not as an average of its cards. It runs 47 non-monster cards and only 8 monster copies (Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu x3, Armed Samurai - Ben Kei x3, Sangan x1, Cyber Jar x1), so the engine is thin: the equip plan needs a monster on the field, and the hypergeometric estimate of at least one monster in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.56 (Inferred). Its draw and interaction suite is broad, but the list is illegal: it runs Forbidden Giant Trunade, Pot of Greed and Graceful Charity, and exceeds the Limited limits on Solemn Judgment and Reinforcement of the Army. Under the legality rule the normal final score is capped low, and the 12-point banlist-exposure modifier applies. Archetype popularity earns no credit: the deck has zero cards from the Goblin Biker archetype, and archetype purity is 0%. There is no combo, guide or tournament data, so the median and ceiling cannot be measured, and the side deck is empty.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 31, Going First ≈ 30, Going Second ≈ 25, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*31 + 0.20*25 - 12 = 17.8, rounded to 18. Meta Power is provisional. Illegal-list cap applied.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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

• Broad negation and removal suite (Solemn Judgment, Royal Decree, Heavy Storm, Ring of Destruction, Mystical Space Typhoon)
• Consistent card-advantage draws (Upstart Goblin, Jar of Greed, Reckless Greed)
• Equip-based pressure with Ben Kei and Mask of Brutality

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and over-limit Limited cards
• Only 8 monsters in 55 cards; equips and Ben Kei depend on a monster that is often missing
• Zero Goblin Biker cards despite the archetype label
• No Side Deck and no Extra Deck; no adaptation or closing body

Critical choke points

• A monster must land on the field before any Equip Spell does anything; with 8 monsters, that is missing in about 44% of 5-card hands
• Solemn Judgment and Heavy Storm each have one legal copy, so the interaction suite breaks down once they are used

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Five copy-limit violations and the Forbidden status of three cards (legality block); Main deck 55 cards, Extra 0, Side 0; main size within 40-60 OCG limits; Zero Goblin Biker cards; archetype purity 0%
• Inferred: Monster hit rate and the equip-dependency choke point (hypergeometric estimate); Structural dimension scores and the Toolbox weight profile; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• 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 side deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; all consistency numbers are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
