Blitzclique Deck #771439 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Thunder/Blitzclique destruction-chain engine converting into Thunder Dragon Colossus, Whisker Blitzclique and Thunder King the Lightningstrike Kaiju pressure (Inferred from text; no recorded boards); Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon and Elder Entity N'tss boards via Extra Deck follow-up (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Blitzclique starter (Surge, Crackle, Grain, Emi, or Breakaway) and use its destruction effect to Special Summon a Thunder monster; Hideout in the Sky and Lightning Crash supply further searches (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment) to slow the opposing summon or activation, then rebuild with Thunder monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Blitzclique Breakaway and Overvolt recover Thunder monsters from the GY; Steppleader adds a Thunder monster from the GY to hand (Verified text, Inferred usage)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's reliable opening rests on its Blitzclique core: 26 archetype-core copies give P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.97, while any single 3-copy starter such as Surge Blitzclique reaches the opening hand only ≈ 0.25 of the time (Inferred, hypergeometric). Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 7 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards and 35 removal-text cards giving broad disruption (Inferred from text flags). Conversion and median output are unmeasured because no recorded boards exist, so both are scored from text only and kept moderate. The deck is capped as Illegal because Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden in OCG, and it has no side deck, so it cannot earn a normal Final Contextual score. Popularity was not rewarded: the Blitzclique archetype's usage share and core inclusion were treated only as evidence that the list is real, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55.4, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); no side deck (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(55.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 54.3; banlist modifier -12 gives 42.3; capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden). Theoretical/structural-only. Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 Blitzclique core (26 copies) makes a playable opening very likely (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps, negation and removal text across many cards (Inferred)
• Recursion via Breakaway, Overvolt and Steppleader supports grind (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run 1 copy
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name purity (28.6%) suggests a loosely built engine
• No recorded combos, so conversion is unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Each individual Blitzclique starter has only ≈0.25 chance to appear in a 5-card opening hand
• Albion's Forbidden status removes an Extra Deck slot entirely

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden in OCG and run 1 copy (legal copies 0), making the list Illegal; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size limits; side is 0 (legal); Copy histogram and type spread match the resolved card list; Card text flags: 7 hand traps, 16 negation-text, 35 removal-text, 19 searcher-text
• Observed: Usage stats show 26 archetype-core copies and 13 of 15 core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Engine conversion and interaction quality read from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 45, no tournament context)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is Illegal (Forbidden Albion); no normal Final Contextual score
