Rescue-ACE Deck #771918 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rescue-ACE board of Link/Fire monsters (Rescue-ACE Arbitrator, Turbulence, Preventer) built from Rescue-ACE searches and Special Summons, with 3000-ATK boss and 2800-ATK Preventer as closers; Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as Extra Deck finishers when the Dark Time Wizard or Xyz conditions are met
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Rescue-ACE Impulse or Quick Attacker into ALERT! or RESCUE! to add or summon a Rescue-ACE monster, then extend into Air Lifter and Arbitrator with EMERGENCY! for board presence, Hydrant for protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Droll & Lock Bird and Typhoon-style answers to break the opponent's engine, then rebuild through Rescue-ACE recursion from the GY and banish costs
• Recovery: Rescue-ACE recursion: RESCUE! and Preventer and Turbulence return monsters from the GY or banish zone, and ALERT! refills a Rescue-ACE from the GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck cannot adapt between games as built

Why it scores here

This list is structurally a Rescue-ACE midrange shell: 25 archetype-core copies give a high chance of at least one core card in opening hands (about 0.94 at 5 cards, Inferred), and 17 searcher-text cards support continuation. Its interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Droll & Lock Bird, Typhoon, CONTAIN!, EXTINGUISH!) gives it real board-level answers, scored on the system rather than card by card. Exact-name archetype purity is only 32.4%, with Mulcharmy, Dominus, Dark Time Wizard, Magician, Forbidden and Red-Eyes packed in, which costs main-deck coherence and pilotability. The deck is Illegal as built (three copy-limit violations plus 59 main cards), so the score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only; no combos, tournament record or side deck exist to lift it. Popularity (Rescue-ACE usage stats) confirmed the list is real but earned no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.5, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist / copy-limit exposure (-8); Engine conflicts / mixed archetype (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 51.8; modifiers -12 = 39.8; Illegal status caps the final at 30 (structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Large archetype core (25 copies) gives near-certain access to a Rescue-ACE starter
• Dense interaction suite: Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Droll & Lock Bird, Typhoon, CONTAIN!, EXTINGUISH!
• Recursion through RESCUE!, ALERT!, Preventer and Turbulence supports multi-turn resilience
• High-ATK closers (Turbulence 3000, Arbitrator 3000, Preventer 2800)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three copy-limit violations
• Empty side deck, so no post-side plan
• Low exact-name purity (32.4%) and mixed sub-archetypes reduce coherence
• No recorded boards or win data, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Rescue-ACE Hydrant on the field is the gate for several protection and recovery effects
• Extra Deck link summons depend on enough FIRE material on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 59 main, 15 extra, 0 side; three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom x3, Dominus Impulse x3, S:P Little Knight x2); Card text and stats for all listed cards; Archetype usage stat: Rescue-ACE core 25 copies; Exact-name purity 32.4%
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric estimates (0.94 core, 0.83 searcher); Interaction quality and going-second value from card text; Recovery strength from recursion text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability and matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null Side deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side performance cannot be assessed
