R.B. Deck #771316 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: R.B. Link-monster board: Stage Landing, Funk Dock and Ga10 / Lambda link chains feeding Brute Blues and Shepherd's Crook attacks, with Nibiru and Regulus as big-body finishers (Inferred from card text; no combos recorded); Sky Striker Ace links and Mulcharmy card advantage as a backup plan (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a live R.B. starter (Stage Landing or Funk Dock) and link out, keeping Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Effect Veiler up for the opponent's first response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 13 hand traps across the six-card hand to negate the opponent's board-building starter, then rebuild through Funk Dock and Mulcharmy draws (Inferred)
• Recovery: Ga10 Driller and Ga10 Pile Bunker special summon from hand when no monsters are face-up, plus Funk Dock and Operation Test recursion from the Deck or GY (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists. The deck is illegal in its current form and must be corrected first.

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2, and it has 16 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15, so the normal Final Contextual score does not apply and the 25 is a capped, structural-only read. The structure itself is coherent in a hand-trap-plus-R.B.-link way: the R.B. core (about 95% to have at least one core card in a going-first five-card hand) gives reliable starter access, and 13 hand traps plus negation text give strong interruption and end-board coverage. Median and ceiling output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so the combo dimensions are text-only inference. Scores came from the deck's consistency, interaction density and resilience taken together, not from averaging card scores, and not from R.B. being a popular archetype. Thin Extra Deck coverage, 0 side cards, and mostly narrow tech (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster) pull the structure down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflict (-4). Final formula: Illegal: structural-only, capped at 25. Structural 55 (Toolbox weights); no normal Final Contextual formula applied. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Reliable R.B. core access (about 95% for going-first hand 5)
• 13 hand traps and layered negation give strong interruption and end-board coverage
• Multiple recovery routes via Ga10 specials and Funk Dock

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom over copy limit and Extra Deck over 15 cards
• No side deck: 0 post-side options
• Narrow tech (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster) dilutes the plan
• Multiple Link sub-archetypes (Sky Striker, Orcust, Clockwork Knight) weaken engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Single R.B. starter opening: Stage Landing and Funk Dock are the only 3-copy starters, each about 26% to appear in a going-first hand
• Extra Deck size 16 is illegal and must be cut to 15 before any play is possible

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2; Extra Deck 16 vs maximum 15; Main deck 54, side 0; Archetype core presence about 95% at hand 5 (hypergeometric); 13 hand traps and 14 negation texts counted from card text
• Observed: No recorded boards or combo sequences exist for this deck
• Inferred: Toolbox primary strategy with Stun and Midrange secondaries; Interaction and resilience scores from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from hand and interaction structure
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability are placeholders
• Data gaps: Deck is illegal in OCG (copy limit and Extra Deck size); normal Final Contextual score is not applicable No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured Usage statistics mark R.B. The Brute Blues and R.B. VALCan Booster as not in this deck, but the Extra Deck lists 3 copies of each; treat missing core cards as unreliable Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
