Train Deck #771622 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Mechanic: Xyz
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket and Juggernaut Liebe Xyz beats (4000-5000 ATK) supported by Train searchers and Kaiju board-control summons; Number 81 Super Dora and Galaxy Destroyer as backup boss-level Xyz; Kumongous and Gadarla as Kaiju pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 10 Machine starter (Night Train, Babeldecker, Exceptional Schedule) to search Train pieces, build an Xyz from the Level 10 board, and use Typhoon/Blizzard/Subspace to clear backrow
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Nibiru (hand trap) and Carnot for the first opposing monster effect, then use Kaiju summons or Gustav Rocket negation to break the opposing board; no side plan is listed
• Recovery: Night Train and Scrap Recycler recur Level 10 Machines and Level 4 EARTH Machines from the GY; Interrupted Kaiju Slumber and Special Schedule return Train/Level 10 monsters
• After siding: None: the deck has an empty side deck, so there is no evidenced post-side adjustment

Why it scores here

The score is built on the deck as a system, not from averaging its cards. Consistency is moderate: three-copy Level 10 starters (Night Train, Babeldecker) and three-copy searchers give roughly a 78% chance of at least one searcher in a five-card opening hand, but the 32 Spells against 17 Monsters in the Main Deck create a real brick risk (Inferred). Interaction is a strength: Typhoon, Blizzard, Limiter Removal, Subspace Battle, Forbidden Chalice, Nibiru, Jizukiru and Galaxy Destroyer give layered answers, and the 4000 to 5000 ATK Xyz finishers give closing power. Popularity did not earn points: the Train archetype's usage data is incomplete and conflicts with the list (see data gaps), and there are no recorded boards to measure a median. The list is Illegal because it runs 3 copies of Heavy Storm against an OCG limit of 1, so the score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only. Engine coherence is weak: only 23 of 67 copies match the exact Train name, and the Kaiju, Greed, Forbidden and Book splash compete for slots.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Engine conflicts (-4); Illegal-deck cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) = 49; modifiers -12 gives 37; illegal-deck cap sets the final score to 30 (structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · 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 interaction suite across backrow, monster negation and hand traps
• High-ATK Xyz finishers (Gustav Rocket 5000, Galaxy Destroyer 5000, Liebe 4000)
• Multiple recursion and search lines through Night Train, Special Schedule and Interrupted Kaiju Slumber

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Heavy Storm exceeds its OCG Limited copy limit
• No Side Deck: no post-side plan for best-of-3
• Spell-heavy Main Deck (32 Spells vs 17 Monsters) with brick risk
• Split engine: only 23 of 67 copies match the exact Train name

Critical choke points

• Opening a Level 10 Machine starter is required to start the Train engine; without one the line is dead
• Gustav Rocket and Liebe Xyz need Level 10 or 11 material on board; the line fails if the board is cleared
• Heavy Storm's illegal count must be cut before the list is playable in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Heavy Storm: 3 copies run, OCG Limited legal copies = 1 (Illegal); Main 52, Extra 15, Side 0; size rules satisfied for OCG; Card texts and stats for the listed Xyz and spells; Archetype core P(>=1 in 5) = 0.7468 (hypergeometric)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency and brick rate from composition and hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction density and board-breaking value from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link; Median and floor: no recorded boards
• 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 Usage statistics conflict with the list: Gustav Rocket (in deck, 2 copies), Flying Launcher (3), Liebe (2) and Super Dora (1) are flagged in this deck = false, so the usage fields may use a different id space No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so no post-side evidence
