Clown Crew Deck #772175 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew board built through Tribute, Ritual, Synchro, Xyz and Fusion summons, closing through Clown Crew Biancaviso, Super Starslayer TY-PHON or Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (Inferred from card text); Clown Crew Flair and Clown Crew Malabarisme recurring Clown Crew monsters for repeated board presence (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Clown Crew starter (Rehearsal, Malabarisme, Matinee Operatics or Soiree Operations) and build toward a Tribute or Ritual summon; keep Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler or Infinite Impermanence up as interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Red Reboot) to slow the opponent's first board, then rebuild Clown Crew monsters from the Graveyard (Inferred)
• Recovery: Clown Crew New Face, Finale and Soiree Operations return or re-summon Clown Crew cards from the Graveyard and banishment (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (gap)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its archetype core (25 Clown Crew copies, P(at least one open in a 5-card hand) about 0.96) gives it reliable access to a starter, and its 15 hand-trap and 19 negation-text cards give it strong interaction on both turns. Its Structural score is 60 from a Midrange weight profile, with the largest weight on interruption resilience and resource recovery. The deck's floor and median are not supported by any recorded boards, so combo output is text-only and held near the middle. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats only confirm that the core cards are real and accessible. The score was not reached by averaging individual card power; the 0 Side Deck and the self-conflicting Spell/Trap destruction cards pull it down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 59.8 -> 47.9 + 11.0 = 58.9, then modifiers -4 = 54.9

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core present at about 0.96 in a 5-card hand (Inferred)
• Interaction density is high: 15 hand-trap and 19 negation-text cards
• Recursion through Clown Crew New Face, Finale and Soiree Operations keeps the engine alive after disruption

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Several Spell and Trap destruction cards hit the deck's own Spells and Traps

Critical choke points

• Clown Crew starter cards (Rehearsal, Malabarisme, Matinee Operatics, Soiree Operations) are each only about 0.25 in a 5-card hand (Inferred)
• Biancaviso and TY-PHON depend on Extra Deck material and Tribute availability

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck is 55 cards and Extra Deck is 15, both within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is Semi-Limited at 2 copies; the other restricted cards are Limited at 1 copy each and are legal; Side Deck is 0 cards; Card list composition and copy histogram reconcile to 55 main and 15 extra cards
• Inferred: Archetype core open in a 5-card hand about 0.96 and searcher P about 0.69; Interaction density and negation text read from card excerpts; Engine conflict from Spell and Trap destruction cards; Going-second and going-first power estimates
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13) and Meta Power; Tournament Reliability weights
• Data gaps: Usage statistics mark Clown Crew Meteor, Clown Crew Diabolo, Clown Crew Fiends, Clown Crew Dristy and Linkuriboh as not in this deck (in_this_deck false), but the cards array lists them in the Extra Deck; the card list was treated as authoritative, which would make core presence 17 of 20 rather than 13 of 20 No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first and going-second splits are Inferred No Side Deck in the export, so post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
