Borrel Deck #771546 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon a 3000 to 3500 ATK Borrel or Rokket Link monster (Borrelend, Borrelshroud, Borrelguard, Borrelsword, Borreload) and protect it with hand traps and negations.; Fusion or Link-chain pressure through Borreload Fatalflare, Quadborrel and Breachborrel, with Rokket recursion from the GY.
• Turn 1 (going first): Quick Launch or Rokket Tracer (Tracer's destroy-and-summon effect) to reach a Rokket board, then Rokket Loader or Absorouter Dragon to search a Level 7 DARK Dragon or Rokket and link into a 3000+ ATK Link.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit and Effect Veiler (12 hand-trap copies) to stop the opponent's first board, then Link Summon through the leftover field.
• Recovery: Rokket Recharger, Borrel Regenerator, Absorouter Dragon and Borrel Reboot recover from the GY; Rokket Loader and Absorouter Dragon search out the next starter.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so the post-side plan is unavailable and the deck relies entirely on its main-deck flex (Dark Ruler No More, Dimensional Fissure, Chaos Space) for matchup changes.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a Rokket starter package (Quick Launch, Rokket Tracer, Rokket Loader, with Mulcharmy draw support) gives an archetype-core presence of about 89% in an opening five (Inferred from the core-group hypergeometric), but each individual 3-copy starter is live in only about 23% of openings, so consistency depends on the bootstrap pairing rather than any single card. Interaction is dense: 12 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, which earn the end-board and resilience scores (D5, D7), and about 75% of going-second six-card hands contain at least one hand trap. The Extra Deck (15 cards, 14 distinct, mostly Borrel and Rokket Links at 3000+ ATK) earns the closing and Extra-efficiency credit. Points are withheld for a missing side deck, for the absence of any recorded boards or tournament record, and for a 60-card main with 14 off-archetype Mulcharmy and tech slots that dilute the engine; popularity and meta share earned nothing, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (approximate 80/20 blend, Inferred from the Link engine and interaction density). Structural ≈ 60.5, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Limited single-copy staples (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*60.46 + 0.20*50 - 3 ≈ 55

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (12 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards) that protects a Link finisher on both turn orders
• Extra Deck is coherent: 13 Borrel/Rokket Links plus Fusion and Synchro options reaching 3000 to 3500 ATK
• Strong GY recursion (Absorouter, Recharger, Regenerator, Borrel Reboot) for recovery after interruption
• Legal list with copy limits respected and all restricted cards at legal copy counts

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Off-archetype Mulcharmy and tech slots (14 copies) dilute engine density
• Core starters have low individual odds in an opening hand (about 23% for any 3-copy starter)
• No recorded boards or tournament record to confirm the combo floor or the matchup profile

Critical choke points

• Quick Launch and Rokket Tracer are the main T1 bootstrap, so a single hand-trap or floodgate reply on the opening board can end the first turn
• Borrel Link finishers need Rokket monsters in the GY or on the field, so a failed Rokket line leaves the Extra Deck stranded

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in OCG with 60 Main and 15 Extra and no copy-limit violation; Restricted cards (Chaos Space, Foolish Burial, S:P Little Knight, Striker Dragon) run at legal copy counts; No side deck registered (side_count 0)
• Inferred: Starter consistency from hypergeometric odds (about 0.23 per 3-copy card; about 0.89 archetype core group); Interaction density and hand-trap value from card text; Going-first and going-second splits from hand-trap availability
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no tournament link and no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics marks Extra-Deck core cards (Borrelshroud, Borrelend, Borreload Fatalflare, Trisborrel, Guardragon Pisty, S:P Little Knight) as in_this_deck false even though the cards list shows them in the Extra Deck; the core-presence figure (48%) is therefore understated and was not used as evidence no side deck is registered, so no post-side evidence exists
