Performapal Deck #772056 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-zone-driven board of Odd-Eyes and Performapal Pendulum monsters converting into Extra Deck Fusion, Link and Xyz boards (Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Starving Venom Wing Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Odd-Eyes Override Dragon).; Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing / Chaos Angel boards once the Extra Deck is stocked; Bystial Druiswurm/Magnamhut as backup beatsticks at 2500 ATK.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set up two Pendulum Zones with Performapal/Odd-Eyes scales (Skullcrobat Joker scale 8, Odd-Eyes Valet / Arc Dragon scale 8, Monkeyboard, Seer), Pendulum Summon into a Level 7 Odd-Eyes Pendulum, then extend through Link/Fusion monsters in the Extra Monster Zone.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler and Horoscope Sorcerer to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then rebuild through Pendulum Summons and Extra Deck boards.
• Recovery: Searchers (Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer, Gentrude, Monkeyboard, Spiral Flame Strike, Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm) and recursion through Monster Reborn, Materialization and the GY-triggered Odd-Eyes Arc Dragon / Seer effects.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Pendulum-based Performapal/Odd-Eyes start: roughly 97% of 5-card openers contain a searcher-text card and about 77% hold at least one archetype-core card, so the engine is usually live by turn 2 (Inferred from hypergeometric draws). Conversion into a board is credible because the 15-card Extra Deck offers Fusion, Link, Xyz and Synchro routes, and the two Ash Blossom / Effect Veiler style hand traps give a layered answer to the opponent's first disruption. The median output is held back by a low core purity (about 6% exact-name Performapal, with 68 off-archetype copies spread across Magician, Mulcharmy, Supreme King and Bystial), which makes boards less uniform than the Pendulum framing suggests. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but no points were earned from them. Scores were derived from the system (consistency, median output, interaction and Extra Deck coverage), not by averaging the individual card scores. The absence of combos, tournament data and a side deck caps confidence and keeps the meta and post-side reads provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 80% / Toolbox 20%. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: no side deck (-3); low core purity (-2); banlist exposure (-1); unrecoverable choke point (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Pendulum-driven Odd-Eyes/Performapal engine with high searcher density (27 searcher-text cards)
• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps and 20 negation-text cards, including two Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle/Ghost Ogre answers
• Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Link, Xyz and Synchro with 2500–3500 ATK closers

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity (≈6% exact-name Performapal) suggests an unfocused engine
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, tournament data or win-rate telemetry to verify the median

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale setup (Odd-Eyes / Performapal scales) on turn 1–2
• Dependence on Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler to protect the first summon when going second

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 57 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side, Legal under OCG BanList; Banlist: Bystial Druiswurm and Magnamhut Limited; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring Semi-Limited; Composition: 32 distinct Main cards, 68 off-archetype copies, 9 hand-trap-tagged cards; Card stats for Chaos Angel (3500 ATK), Starving Venom Wing Dragon (3300 ATK), Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon (2500 ATK)
• Observed: Usage statistics: Performapal Skullcrobat Joker and Mulcharmy Fuwalos listed as core for their archetype (inclusion 87.5% and 56.25%)
• Inferred: Searcher and archetype-core opening-hand probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Dimension scores derived from text roles and composition; Negation/removal density read from card text hints
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link; Median combo output: no parseable combo boards
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied (Side Deck size 0), so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
