ABC Deck #772125 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Xyz/Link
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Union and LIGHT Machine boards (ABC / A-to-Z / Union engine) closing through Fusion, Xyz and Link bosses; no recorded boards to confirm the closing line.; Forbidden Link/Spell cards would add extra closing and disruption, but they are illegal in this format and cannot count toward a legal score.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Union starter (Union Activation, Union Hangar or X-Cross Cannon, each at 3 copies) and build toward a Union boss; text-only, not verified against boards.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to run hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Red Reboot, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Solemn Judgment) on the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Union monsters.
• Recovery: Recover from the Graveyard through Unauthorized Reactivation and Union Activation's GY effect; the deck text supports this, but no recorded lines confirm it.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list: the Extra Deck holds 19 cards against an OCG cap of 15, and five Forbidden cards are run (Triple Tactics Talent, Spell Canceller, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Knightmare Gryphon, Curious), so it is scored as a theoretical structural read only and capped low. The Union/LIGHT Machine core is real: the 3-copy starters (Union Activation, Union Hangar, X-Cross Cannon) give about a 27% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the archetype core group is almost always present. Interaction is dense (6 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, 21 removal-text cards), which supports the resilience and end-board scores. The deck is a mix of many sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 10%), and there are no recorded boards, so floor, median and ceiling are all weak and the closing line cannot be verified. The score comes from the structure of the system (consistency, interaction, closing power) and not from averaging card scores, and the popularity of the ABC archetype did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary noted but not blended. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Illegal) (-6); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Theoretical/structural-only (Illegal cap): 0.80*Structural(43) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 41.4, then modifiers -9 = 32; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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, layered interaction: 6 hand traps, 11 negation-text and 21 removal-text cards
• Three-copy Union starters give a reproducible opening (about 27% per hand, Inferred)
• Extra Deck contains strong 3000-ATK closers (ABC-Dragon Buster, XYZ-Hyper Dragon Cannon, AA-ZEUS)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 5 Forbidden cards and a 19-card Extra Deck over the 15 cap
• Low exact-name archetype purity (10%) indicates several engines that do not reliably combine
• No Side Deck registered
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor cannot be checked

Critical choke points

• Union starter access depends on three 3-copy cards; a bad hand has no second route
• Forbidden cards remove a share of the disruption and closing options, so the legal core is thinner than the list suggests

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Five Forbidden cards are run (legal_copies 0); Extra Deck is 19 cards versus a 15 cap; Main Deck 51 is within 40-60; No Side Deck is registered; Exact-name archetype purity is 10%
• Inferred: About 27% chance of at least one 3-copy Union starter in a 5-card hand; Interaction density supports the resilience and end-board scores; Going-second hand-trap coverage (about 55% for at least one hand trap in 6 cards)
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Closing line, since no recorded boards exist
• Data gaps: Illegal list: the Final score is capped and this is a structural-only read No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent One passcode (10443957) in the deck could not be resolved to a card and was counted as Main No win-rate, brick or starter telemetry exists in YGOVN No Side Deck registered, so post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional (no dated metagame sample)
