Clown Crew Deck #771555 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, 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: Tribute Summon chains of Clown Crew monsters (Biancaviso, Cappello, Flair) into Extra Deck boss and Monarch-style board removal; Power Patron and Monarch beatsticks (Vidolium, Sophia, Caius, Zaborg) after the board is cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Rehearsal, Malabarisme or Cappello to set up a Tribute Summon into Biancaviso; use Soiree or Finale to clear the opponent's backrow before attacking
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle as hand traps against the first starter, then rebuild the board through Clown Crew recursion
• Recovery: Flair and Rehearsal banish from the GY to reload Ritual Summons; Malabarisme and New Face recover Clown Crew cards from GY and banishment
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be scored

Why it scores here

The list is structurally a Clown Crew Tribute-Summon engine with a Monarch and Power Patron splash, and its core Clown Crew cards are present at 3 copies each, so the engine opens reasonably often (P at least one of the 3-copy starters in a 5-card hand is about 0.25; the archetype core group reaches about 0.92 in hand). Interaction is dense: 28 removal-text cards and 8 negation-text cards, with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle covering hand-trap needs. The deck is illegal as submitted because Super Polymerization is run at 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2, so the Final Contextual score is capped and labelled theoretical and structural-only. No combos, guides or tournament context exist in the export, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences, and the score does not rest on archetype popularity or on averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural-only. 0.80*54 + 0.20*45 = 52.2, minus 12 illegal-list modifier = 40 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core present at 3 copies for the main starters, so the engine opens consistently
• Dense interaction: 28 removal-text and 8 negation-text cards plus 8 hand traps
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link access

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Super Polymerization over the copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Many single-copy slots dilute consistency

Critical choke points

• Super Polymerization must be cut to 2 copies before the list can be scored normally
• Clown Crew Biancaviso Tribute Summon is the main conversion point; hand-trap interruption on the starter ends the turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 sizes are within OCG size rules; Super Polymerization is 3 copies against a Semi-Limited legal limit of 2; Card stats and text from the resolved card data
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Clown Crew Flair and Soiree Operations appear in most lists
• Inferred: Starter probabilities and brick estimates from the hypergeometric draw table; Engine ceiling and interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: 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 registered no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
