Blitzclique Deck #772063 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blitzclique Thunder chains that trade hand-trap and removal interaction for board advantage, closed by high-ATK Extra Deck threats (Psychic End Punisher, Thunder King Kaiju, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Whisker Blitzclique); Dogmatika and Albaz/Ecclesia Extra Deck boards through Fleurdelis, Nexus and Titaniklad (text-only read, no recorded boards)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a core Blitzclique monster or searcher (about 94% for the archetype core in a 5-card hand), use Surge or Crackle to destroy a monster and Special Summon a Thunder from hand, then extend with Emi or Grain (structural read, Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 7 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Thunderclap Monk, Ultimate Slayer) to answer the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Blitzclique searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Blitzclique Return Stroke protects monsters from card effects; Breakaway, Steppleader and Overvolt recover Thunder monsters from the GY (text-only read, Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG (three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous against a limit of two), so the score below is a structural, theoretical cap and not a normal final rating. Its strengths are the archetype core (about 94% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand), a dense interaction suite (7 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards, 33 removal-text cards) that answers a going-second opponent (about 58% chance of a hand trap in 6 cards), and a strong Extra Deck closing set. The deck's weaknesses are a weak archetype purity (25.7% exact-name purity, with Dogmatika, Albaz, Ecclesia, Tri-Brigade, @Ignister and Kaiju routes spread across the Extra Deck), no side deck, and no recorded boards to measure combo floor or ceiling. Popularity and usage statistics confirm that the archetype core is real and accessible but did not earn points on their own, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Stun. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-3); no Side Deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: normal formula 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(52) = 57 is capped at 35 because the deck is over the OCG copy limit (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power is provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core (Surge, Crackle, Whisker, Breakaway, Hideout) is present at 100% of standard copies and opens about 94% of the time in a 5-card hand (Verified usage, Inferred probability)
• Dense interaction suite: 7 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards, and 33 removal-text cards
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 2500–3500 ATK
• Searchers and GY recursion (Steppleader, Breakaway, Overvolt, Alternator) give good resource regeneration

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name archetype purity (25.7%) with four or more rival archetypes in the Extra Deck, which weakens engine coherence
• No recorded boards, so combo floor, median and ceiling cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Legal correction to 2 copies each of Ash Blossom and The Fallen & The Virtuous is required before any normal score applies
• Blitzclique Return Stroke and the Thunder monsters it protects are a single-line defence against card effects (Inferred)

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous against an OCG limit of 2 (Illegal); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules; 7 Limited or Semi-Limited restricted cards tracked; Card text and stats for the 40+ distinct cards in the export; Usage statistics: 11 of 11 core cards present (100%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand probabilities (archetype core 0.94, searcher 0.81, hand trap in 6 cards 0.58); Midrange primary and Stun/Toolbox secondary classification from text and composition; Dimension scores D1–D11 and D14 from card text and composition; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link); D4 median combo floor (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates); those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side scoring is not evaluable No guides attached for the archetype
