Heroic Deck #772217 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Heroic fusion/link boards: Fusion Summon Elemental HERO and Destiny HERO monsters via Polymerization / Fusion Destiny / Miracle Fusion, then close with Contrast HERO Chaos, Elemental HERO Neos-based fusions, and Xtra HERO link monsters (Inferred from card text and archetype spread); Mulcharmy and Neo-Spacian recursion plus draw pressure from Mulcharmy Fuwalos / Purulia (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Polymerization / Fusion Destiny / Masked HERO Furnace or Mask Change searches; a 2-card bootstrap through a Normal Summon HERO into a fusion (Inferred, not a verified combo)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Nibiru to answer the opponent's first turn, then rebuild a HERO fusion from Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Destiny HERO - Denier, Masked HERO Dusk Crow and Vision HERO Vyon recur HERO monsters from GY/Deck; Mulcharmy draw engine refills hand after a brick (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists (data gap)

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited OCG limit of 2, so the score is capped and labelled structural-only. Within that cap, the system reads as a Heroic midrange shell with 16 searchers/search-adjacent effects and 15 Extra Deck fusion/link monsters, which gives it reasonable access to a fusion starter (P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.76, Inferred). Consistency is held back by the 58-card main with 18 tech/hand-trap slots, a 27-card Effect Monster / Spell mix of uneven roles, and 24 level-0 cards that often conflict with the opening plan, so bricks are a real risk. Floor and median output are not evidenced because no combos were supplied, so combo scores are Inferred from card text only. The empty Side deck removes any post-side plan, and the deck earns no points from archetype popularity: usage stats only confirm the core is real, and the score was built on the system rather than by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary, disclosed as an approximation. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); illegal-deck cap applied; 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 = 47.2, then banlist modifier -12 → 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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 fusion starter access: Polymerization x2, Fusion Destiny x3, Miracle Fusion, Mask Change x2 and HERO searchers
• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps and 7 negation-text cards plus removal-text cards
• Strong Extra Deck coverage across 11 Fusion and 4 Link monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted (Ash Blossom over the copy limit)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Main deck is not compact: 33 distinct names, 18 tech slots, and 73 off-archetype copies

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count: the list must drop one copy to become legal
• Polymerization/Fusion Destiny access for every fusion line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 58 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0 is within 0-15; Composition: 11 Fusion, 4 Link, 33 distinct main names, 73 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.76 from hypergeometric searcher estimate; Brick risk from 24 level-0 cards and 18 tech slots; Interaction density from hand-trap and removal text counts; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) without a dated meta sample
• 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 — brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown side deck is empty — post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
