Galaxy Photon Deck #771814 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Xyz boss monsters (Chaos Angel, P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive, Angelechy Shatranga, Psychic End Punisher) backed by P.U.N.K. and Angelechy engine lines; no Galaxy-Eyes payoff is present.; Hand-trap-supported Synchro Summons that keep the board after the opponent's interaction.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a P.U.N.K. or Mulcharmy starter (Ze Amin, Foxy Tune, Fuwalos) and build toward a Synchro boss; the text-only evidence does not confirm a reliable T1 line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 12 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first turn, then convert with Synchro bosses.
• Recovery: Recover through Angelechy and P.U.N.K. recursion from the GY and Extra Deck (Enlisted, Foxy Tune, JAM Extreme Session); the mechanism is text-inferred only.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system and not as an average of its cards. It is illegal in the OCG format it is registered to: Ash Blossom and Foolish Burial Goods each run 3 copies against a limit of 2, and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15, so it is capped at a low theoretical score. Its reliable opening comes from 3-copy P.U.N.K. and Mulcharmy starters, with a hypergeometric P(at least one 3-copy starter in a 5-card hand) of about 0.26 (Inferred). Its conversion comes from Synchro bosses such as Chaos Angel, Psychic End Punisher and Angelechy Shatranga, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-inferred only. Disruption is strong, with 12 hand traps and 11 negation texts, but 24 level-0 spell and trap cards and several dead-in-hand tech cards raise the brick rate. The archetype label is Galaxy Photon, yet the exact-name purity is 0% and only 2 of 15 core Galaxy cards are present, so popularity earned no points and the score does not rest on it.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo secondary; weights taken from the Midrange profile row. Structural ≈ 44.5, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit and size violations (-12); Banlist exposure (0); Off-archetype construction (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical/structural-only. Base 0.80*44.5 + 0.20*30 = 41.6, less the illegality modifier of -12 (copy limits and Extra-Deck size), capped at 25. Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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, 11 negation texts)
• High-ATK Synchro boss options (Chaos Angel, Psychic End Punisher, Angelechy Shatranga, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon)
• Multiple recursion routes through the GY and Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits and Extra-Deck size
• Off-archetype construction (0% exact purity, 2 of 15 core Galaxy cards present)
• No side deck
• High dead-card density from 24 level-0 spell/traps and situational tech

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on a small set of 3-copy P.U.N.K./Mulcharmy cards
• Legal construction requires removing copies and Extra-Deck cards before the deck can be scored normally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: copy-limit violations and Extra-Deck overage (OCG BanList); Card text for all main and Extra cards from the evidence excerpts; Banlist status: Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster are Limited at 1 copy (legal); Composition counts and archetype purity (0%)
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap probabilities from the hypergeometric draw table; Brick-rate and dead-card estimates from card text; Interaction-density and disruption reads from negation and removal text; Going-second hand-trap density (0.80)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit reads (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied — floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null; the deck is labelled Galaxy Photon but is built mostly from P.U.N.K., Angelechy and Mulcharmy cards
