Performapal Deck #771507 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 45/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-summon a board of Pendulum monsters, then convert it with Extra Deck monsters (Shooting Star Dragon, Secreterion Dragon, Coolia-class Synchro/Fusion/Link threats) while Negate and removal cards protect the board.; Dinoster Power and Shooting Star Dragon via Luster Pendulum and Stardust Dragon as single-copy material, when those pieces are live.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Performapal searcher (Gentrude, Handsamuraiger or Longphone Bull) and set a Pendulum pair (Pendulum Switch / Pendulum Reborn / Momoncarpet) to Pendulum Summon an Extra-Deck-enabling board.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to hold a Negate (Draining Shield, Pinch Helper, Starlight Road) or Show Down, then extend with a Pendulum pair once the opponent's first summon is answered.
• Recovery: Recycle Pendulum monsters through Pot of Avarice, Pot of Riches, Magic Planter and Teeter Totter Hopper's GY-to-hand effect, and re-Pendulum Summon from the GY through Pendulum Reborn.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be assessed.

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from its system-level properties: a 0.725 chance that a searcher appears in the opening 5 cards, about 58% odds of holding two or more Pendulum monsters in the opener (Inferred hypergeometric), and a broad Extra Deck (Synchro, Xyz, Link and Fusion) that gives several independent finishers. Interaction is the strongest part of the build, with seven negation-text and eight removal-text cards plus several Extra Deck negations, though it has no hand traps. Resource recovery is solid through draw spells and GY recursion. The score is held down by the absence of any archetype core (0 of 15 usage-stat core cards present), 46 distinct singleton main-deck cards that give little redundancy, a single-copy dependency for two Extra Deck lines (Stardust Dragon and Luster Pendulum), no side deck, and no combo or tournament data. Archetype popularity earned no points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Archetype core absent (-2); No side deck (-2); Single-copy Extra Deck dependency (-2); Interaction breadth (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 52.28 → 41.8 + 8.4 = 50.2, then modifiers −5 → 45

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.58 · 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

• Layered interaction: negations and removal across main and Extra Deck with no single-point answer
• Four Extra Deck summon types give several finishers
• Draw density and GY recursion for grind

Weaknesses

• No archetype core; deck is a singleton mix with low redundancy
• No hand traps, so the opponent's first summon is answered only with spent cards
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Pendulum pair in hand; a dead pair leaves the Pendulum engine offline
• Stardust Dragon (single copy) gates Shooting Star Dragon
• Luster Pendulum (single copy) gates Dinoster Power

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status and 46/12/0 size against OCG rules; All copy counts are 1 with banlist status Unlimited; Card text for the listed cards; 0 of 15 usage-stat core cards present; Passcode 16178681 unresolved
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and Pendulum-pair odds; Interaction density from text; Engine and recovery reads from card text; Extra Deck dependency reads
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit
• 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 1 passcode(s) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as main) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so no post-side evaluation is possible
