Firewall Deck #772015 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, 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: Extra Deck Link and Synchro monsters (Firewall Dragon Darkfluid, Transcode Talker, Accesscode Talker, Decode Talker Heatsoul) reached through a Cyberse engine built on @Ignister and Code Talker starters; Mathmech Synchro/Xyz line (Primathmech Alembertian, Primathmech Laplacian) as a second route when the Ignister line is stopped
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Pikari @Ignister, Backup @Ignister, Mulcharmy draw engine), search an @Ignister or Mathmech piece, then build a Link or Xyz board while holding hand traps for the opponent's first interaction. Theoretical: no recorded boards exist to confirm this line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre) to break the opponent's first combo, then convert the surviving Cyberse starter. Theoretical and structural only.
• Recovery: Rebuild from Cynet Mining, A.I. Connect and Cyberse searchers (Backup, Achichi, Firewall Saber Dragon, Mathmech Circular) into a fresh Link or Synchro summon; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is near empty.
• After siding: Not assessable. The deck has zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in this list.

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against an OCG limit of two, so the score is a capped, theoretical structural read and not a normal contextual score. The deck is a Cyberse hybrid that draws from @Ignister, Code Talker, Mathmech, Mulcharmy and A.I. pieces, and only 2.9% of its cards share the Firewall name (68 off-archetype copies), so the engine is spread across several sub-archetypes. Its strongest parts are the 17 hand traps and 16 negation effects, which give it interaction on both turns and a real going-second plan, and the Link-4/5 Extra Deck finishers give it closing power. Its weaknesses are the lack of a Side Deck, no recorded boards (so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference), and the many dead or conflicting cards in an opening hand. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is Provisional: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-12) = 38.4, then capped to 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only per rubric)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• 17 hand traps and 16 negation effects give interaction on both turns
• Multiple Link-4/5 and Synchro finishers (Firewall Dragon Darkfluid, Transcode Talker, Accesscode Talker) give closing pressure
• Searchers (15) and draw engines (Mulcharmy x2) support recovery after interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom run at 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Engine spread over five sub-archetypes; only 2.9% exact-name purity
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Dependence on the @Ignister / Cyberse starters to open the Extra Deck line
• Ash Blossom over the copy limit makes the list unplayable in OCG until it is fixed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal (Illegal); Card text and stats for all listed cards from the evidence; Archetype purity 2.9% and spread (68 off-archetype copies); Hand-trap count 17 and negation/removal text counts
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and brick probabilities (hypergeometric proxies); Consistency read on the Cyberse engine; Going-second interaction value from the hand-trap count
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no tournament or dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no win-rate or pilot data)
• 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 win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second or matchups deck has no Side Deck cards, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
