Gagaga Deck #772152 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 48 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon high-ATK Utopia/Number bosses (Number 39: Utopia, Number C39: Utopia Ray, Number S39: Utopia Prime) off the Gagaga/Dododo/Zubaba Xyz chain; Gagaga Girl and Gagagaga Girl recursion of Gagaga monsters into follow-up Xyz Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Gagaga or Dododo starter, search with Onomatopaira or Onomatopickup, then chain into a Level 4 Xyz; hand traps are held back where possible. Starter odds are high, but each starter is a single copy or a pair.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first search or Extra Deck summon, then use Gagaga Magician or Dodododo Warrior from hand to rebuild the Xyz line.
• Recovery: Gagaga Girl (Cell Phone Subtraction) and Gagaga Illusion can recover Gagaga monsters from the GY, and Astraltopia and Gagaga Ganbara Knight add searchers back to hand.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The score is built on the deck as one system, not by averaging its card scores. The Gagaga and Utopia sub-families plus the Onomatopoeia searchers give a high chance (about 0.98 for at least one core-archetype card in the opening hand, Inferred) of a live starter, and the Xyz bosses supply the closing power. Interaction is broad: three Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Numbers Protection, Unbreakable Xyz Barrier, and Number 39 negation give layered answers to the opponent's turn. The deck has no combos, no tournament link, no win-rate data, and an empty side deck, so the floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference and the post-side score is near zero. Popularity or archetype usage did not earn points, and the deck is Illegal (three Ash Blossom against a limit of two, and 16 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15), so the final score is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo secondary; Midrange weights used as the Structural profile. Structural ≈ 58.35, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); no side deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers, 35) = min(0.80*58.35 + 0.20*50 - 7, 35) = 35; theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered negation and removal: Ash Blossom x3, Droll & Lock Bird, Numbers Protection, Unbreakable Xyz Barrier, Number 39: Utopia
• Redundant searchers (Onomatopaira, Onomatopickup, Gagaga Ganbara Knight, Zubababa Knight, Astraltopia) keep the engine fed
• Strong closers: Number 39: Utopia (2500 ATK), Number S39: Utopia Prime (2510 ATK), Utopia Ray

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom at 3 copies (limit 2) and 16 Extra Deck cards (maximum 15)
• No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptability is zero
• Extra Deck has off-plan Xyz options (Evilswarm Exciton Knight, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Ultimate Dragonic Utopia Ray) that dilute the 15-card limit
• Gagaga purity is 21.9%; the list spans several sub-archetypes, which raises pilot load

Critical choke points

• Gagaga Magician (3 copies) and Dodododo Warrior (3 copies) are the main starters; their absence leaves the Xyz chain without a summon
• Number 39: Utopia (not run) and the other Utopia Xyz bosses need specific materials; with 16 Extra cards the materials are not guaranteed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom at 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck size 16 vs maximum 15; Card text and stats for the listed cards; Usage stat: Dodododo Warrior and Gogogo Goblindbergh are core cards (100% and 90% inclusion)
• Observed: Core archetype cards present: 12 of 25 (48%); Searcher text count: 19 cards
• Inferred: At least one core-archetype card in the opening hand ≈0.98 (archetype_core_group proxy); Ash Blossom and hand trap interaction quality; Engine redundancy and resilience across starters; Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈0.42
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format fit (no tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• 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, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no side deck (side_count 0); post-side evaluation impossible Deck title is null; archetype label used for identification
