P.U.N.K. Deck #772121 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• 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: Synchro/Fusion/Xyz P.U.N.K. and Gold Pride boards (Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon, P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive, Gold Pride - Pin Baller) reached through Level 3 Tuner chains and hand-trap protection; Stacked Hand-Trap disruption that leaves the opponent without a response, followed by a Synchro or Xyz board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a P.U.N.K. or Gold Pride starter, add a Tuner, and Synchro into a P.U.N.K. Synchro Monster while holding Ash or Imperm for the opponent's response. The hand-trap count is high, so going first often means a slow, disruption-heavy turn with no board.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2 or more hand traps against the opponent's first Normal or Special Summon, then convert with Noh-P.U.N.K. Foxy Tune or Rising Scale. This is the deck's strongest mode.
• Recovery: Rebuild through the P.U.N.K. searchers (Ze Amin, Wa Gon, Madame Spider, Gold Pride - Better Luck Next Time!) and recursive Level 3 Tuners; LP cost of these effects is the main limit.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists. The list cannot be sided in a best-of-3 event.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it gets only a structural read capped low and is labelled theoretical. The 55-card main deck is legal in size but dilutes the engine: only 20 of 55 main cards carry the exact P.U.N.K. name (28.6% purity), and 17 hand traps plus 20 tech and removal cards compete for the same slots. The deck scores best on going-second disruption, where the hand-trap density gives about a 90% chance of at least one interaction in a 6-card hand, and on Extra Deck coverage across Synchro, Fusion, Xyz and Link. Floor and median output are weak because no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling is text-only inference. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score; the Final was set from the system's consistency, interaction and bloat profile.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary with Midrange as secondary context only (no blend applied to weights). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal copy-limit cap -12: 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 = 48.8 -> 49; 49 - 12 = 37

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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 going-second interaction: 17 hand traps and 9 negation cards give about a 90% chance of at least one in a 6-card hand
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Fusion, Xyz and Link with several 2700-3000 ATK boss monsters
• Archetype core (18 copies) is present in the opening hand about 87% of the time

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom is over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• Low archetype purity (28.6%); 50 of 55 main cards are off-name
• No side deck registered, so no post-side plan
• Heavy LP-cost engine with repeated 600 LP payments

Critical choke points

• Level 3 Tuner chain: most lines depend on Ze Amin, Wa Gon, Sharakusai or Madame Spider reaching the field
• Hand-trap timing: most interaction is a dead card when the opponent has no Normal/Special Summon or card activation to respond to

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within the OCG size rules; Exact P.U.N.K. purity 28.6% (20 of 70 copies); Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Synchro, 3 Xyz, 2 Fusion, 2 Link (and 2 Synchro Tuner counted under Synchro)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds for the archetype core (0.87) and hand traps (0.90 going second); Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Consistency and brick-rate reads; Floor/ceiling from text chains, not recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
