Vampires Deck #772172 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss or board (Pumpking the Great Ghost King, Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, The Zombie Vampire, Skeletal Dragon Felgrand) reached through Call of the Haunted / Mayakashi / Zombie recursion chains; Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord control-steal and Vortex of Time disruption, with negation support from Yuki-Onna and Ash Blossom
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Mayakashi Return / Delta of Invitation / Ectoplasmic Fortification searchers, Hajun or Ghost Belle or Uni-Zombie for board, then send Zombies to the GY to reach Call of the Haunted and Pumpking (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner, Ghost Belle, and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild from the GY with Mezuki, Gozuki, Glow-Up Bloom, or Curse of the Ancient Turtle (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Mezuki, Gozuki, Glow-Up Bloom, Officiating Reverie and Eldlich's GY recursion; Necroworld Banshee and Zombie World can re-enable the field (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has an empty Side Deck (0 of up to 15 slots), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal as built: three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against an OCG limit of two, so the score is a structural read capped low and not a normal contextual score. Consistency is moderate. The archetype core is present in about 82% of opening 5-card hands (hypergeometric, Inferred), and 14 searcher-text cards give a reasonable chance of a starter, but only 8 of 25 standard core cards are present and 72 of 88 main-plus-extra copies are off the exact 'Vampires' name, so the deck is really a Zombie / Call of the Haunted / Mayakashi toolbox. Interaction and resilience are its strongest areas: 13 negation-text and 7 hand-trap cards, plus GY recursion through Mezuki, Gozuki, Glow-Up Bloom and Curse of the Ancient Turtle, let it continue after disruption and contest a going-second board. Closing power comes from Extra Deck bosses such as Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Pumpking and The Zombie Vampire, but no recorded boards exist, so combo floor and median are unmeasured. The side deck is empty, which removes any post-side adaptation, and popularity or meta share earned no points. Scores come from the system as a whole, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70/30 (Combo primary, Midrange secondary; Structural uses the Combo profile). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (Ash Blossom 3 vs 2) (-12); Empty side deck (0); Banlist exposure (0). Final formula: Structural 56.8 -> 0.80*56.8 + 0.20*45 = 54.6; modifiers total -12 -> 42.6; illegal-list cap applied -> 35 (theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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 negation and hand-trap package: Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Mourner, Droll & Lock Bird, Yuki-Onna Absolute Zero
• GY recursion gives resilience after disruption
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses: Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, The Zombie Vampire, Skeletal Dragon Felgrand

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• Empty side deck: no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity: 72 off-archetype copies; no recorded combo sample

Critical choke points

• Call of the Haunted runs only 1 copy and anchors the Pumpking / Zombie recursion line
• Extra Deck link and XYZ pieces need specific Zombie or Mayakashi materials

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run against an OCG limit of 2 (Semi-Limited) = Illegal; Droll & Lock Bird, Foolish Burial and One for One are each run at 1 copy, within their Limited status; Side Deck is empty
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access and searcher density; Interaction and resilience read from card text; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); D13 matchup and format fit set to a neutral midpoint
• 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 exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
