Gagaga Deck #771763 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon high-rank Utopia/Number monsters (Number 39: Utopia, Number 90: Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, Number F0 family) off the Gagaga/Zubaba/Dododo/Gogogo Xyz-material engine; Gagagaga Girl and Gagagaga Magician recursion, plus Number 39: Utopia Double and Number 38 as late-game boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Onomatopaira, Onomatopickup, Zubaba Knight, Gogogo Goblindbergh, Dododo Warrior) and reach a 2-monster Xyz Summon into Utopia or Number, protecting it with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence and Unbreakable Xyz Barrier
• Turn 2 (going second): Use 13 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Xyz Summons from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recover through Gagaga Girl and Gagagaga Magician from the GY, and through Onomatokage and Dodododwarf Gogogoglove revived from the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck exists in the export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the rubric scores the deck as main-deck only

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as exported: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so it receives only a theoretical structural read capped at 35. Consistency is moderate-high: the archetype core is present in about 98% of opening hands (proxy, Inferred), and 19 searcher-text cards give repeatable access to the Xyz starters. The deck's interaction is its strongest system trait, with 13 hand traps and several negate or removal texts, which lift going-second and end-board interaction scores. Conversion and median output cannot be verified because no recorded combo boards exist, so the Xyz ceiling is scored from card text alone. Popularity and archetype stats (core cards present at 56% of the usual core list) were not used to add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The missing Side Deck and the 15-slot Extra Deck with no recorded boards keep the score low and the confidence Low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Combo; Stun not blended because Structural weights were kept to one profile. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: unclamped 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-10) = 45, capped to 35 for an Illegal list; theoretical structural-only read

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Strong archetype core density with searcher redundancy
• 13 hand traps and layered negation give good going-second interaction
• Extra Deck ceiling includes several 2500 to 3000 ATK Xyz closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• No Side Deck
• Low exact archetype purity (11.3%) with many off-archetype slots
• No recorded boards to confirm conversion

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over-limit makes the list illegal until one copy is removed
• Xyz Summon needs two level-matching monsters, so hand-trap-heavy hands can stall the engine
• Going-first plan depends on the searcher starting the chain

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs 2 legal in OCG; Main 56 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0; Archetype core present in 56% of usual core list; Card texts: 13 hand traps, 19 searchers, 8 negation texts
• Inferred: Archetype core opening-hand presence ≈ 0.98; Going-second hand trap probability ≈ 0.81; Interaction density drives D7 and D8 scores; Structural score 56 under the Combo profile
• Provisional: Meta Power left null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is a placeholder 50
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates unknown No Side Deck in export: post-side performance cannot be scored Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
