Kaiju Deck #771462 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 46/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ancient Gear beatdown: Ancient Gear Chaos Giant (4500 ATK), Megaton Golem and Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem attacking through a Golem-based Fusion line (Inferred from card text).; Train pressure through Superdreadnought Rail Cannon and Heavy Armored Train Ironwolf, with Jizukiru as a single-copy Kaiju finisher (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Wyvern, Dark Golem, Tanker or Exceptional Schedule, then use Frame, Commander, Catapult or Advance to reach Ancient Gear monsters and Fusion material (Inferred, not simulated).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Wyvern's lock and Tanker or Catapult destruction to answer the first board, then rebuild through Dark Golem and Frame searches (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recur Tanker from the Graveyard, Geartown from the Graveyard, and Commander or Statue summons to rebuild after a board is cleared (Inferred).
• After siding: None. The deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live engine: twelve copies across Wyvern, Dark Golem, Tanker and Exceptional Schedule give about 85% (going first) and about 90% (going second) odds of at least one in the opening hand, and 19 searcher-text cards give about 97% odds of at least one search effect in the opening five. Its ceiling comes from the Ancient Gear Fusion and Golem finishers, which can convert the board into large attackers, but the only Ancient Gear Golem is a single copy, which makes the top end fragile. The deck has no hand traps and only a few real negations, and it runs no Side Deck, so interaction and post-side adaptation score low. No recorded boards, guides, usage-stat core or tournament data exist, so the score rests on text and probability reads and is labelled Inferred. The score comes from consistency, redundancy and closing power on the system, not from averaging individual card scores and not from the Kaiju label, since Jizukiru is the only Kaiju card and exact-name purity is 1.8%.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; D13 dropped and weights re-normalised over 95 (meta-neutral). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflicts and orphan extras (-4); Unrecoverable choke point (-2); No post-side plan (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*56.2 + 0.20*50 = 55.0, then -9 modifiers = 46)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Ancient Gear core is 25 of 40 main cards with multiple starters at 3 copies each
• High searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) gives consistent access to the engine
• Fusion finishers (Chaos Giant, Megaton) and Rail Cannon give high closing power

Weaknesses

• Only one Ancient Gear Golem, so the Golem-dependent Fusion lines are fragile
• No hand traps and no Side Deck, so interaction and post-side adaptation are thin
• Mixed sub-archetypes: Schedules need Train monsters and several singleton extras have little support

Critical choke points

• Ancient Gear Golem (single copy) as Fusion material for Ultimate Golem and Chaos Giant lines
• Opponent's interruption of the starter on turn 1 with no hand trap to answer it

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under OCG rules: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; no violations; All 38 distinct cards are Unlimited with no restricted cards; Main deck composition: 25 Ancient Gear, 9 Train, 2 Infinitrack, 1 Superheavy Samurai, 2 Checkker, 1 Jizukiru; Printed stats on Chaos Giant (4500), Megaton (3300), Rail Cannon (3800); Searcher-text group probability 0.969 in opening 5 (from evidence)
• Inferred: Starter access ~0.85 going first and ~0.90 going second; Brick and dead-hand risk from Schedules and single Golem; Going-first and going-second power split; Interruption resilience and Graveyard recursion value; Fusion and Xyz conversion routes, from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated sample, no tournament link); Tournament reliability (no performance or telemetry data)
• 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, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no guides for the Kaiju archetype label; deck is mostly Ancient Gear, so guide coverage does not match the list deck title is null; archetype label Kaiju does not match the list (25/40 main Ancient Gear, one Kaiju card)
