Kewl Tune Deck #772238 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon boss monsters from the Extra Deck (Kewl Tune B2B 3200 ATK, Super Starslayer TY-PHON 2900 ATK, Zalen 2800 ATK, Enigmaster Packbit 2900 ATK) off Kewl Tune Tuner chains; Hand-trap protected board: Kewl Tune Synchro, Pot of Prosperity and Synchro Overtake add resources and Extra Deck access; closing through negate-protected boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Kewl Tune Tuner (Mix, Clip, Cue, Rotary or Reco), use Kewl Tune Playlist/JJ/Synchro to add or Special Summon the next Tuner, and Synchro Summon a boss; hand traps stay in hand because they have no target on turn 1 unless the opponent commits
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle and Droll & Lock Bird (15 hand-trap-role cards; 95 percent chance of at least one in a 6-card hand) to negate or stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Synchro Summons
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Tuner recursion (Ghost Belle, Kewl Tune Mix/Reco/Track Maker search effects, Kewl Tune Playlist return) and Dominusteer or Duelist Genesis searches to rebuild a second Synchro line
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan in the list; a post-side plan is untested and cannot be scored from the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Kewl Tune Tuner chain reliably: the archetype-core proxy gives about 82 percent for at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and the three-copy Mix and the two-copy JJ, Playlist and Clip give several redundant starters (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its interaction is the strongest part of the system: 15 hand-trap-role cards and a 95 percent chance of at least one in a going-second 6-card hand support a good going-second score, though those cards are dead on a going-first opening without a target. The Extra Deck (15 cards, 11 distinct, almost all Kewl Tune Synchros plus TY-PHON) gives real closing power with a 3200 ATK boss, and the recursion from the GY keeps the line alive after a single disruption. The score is earned from consistency, interaction and closing power on the whole system; it is not an average of card scores, and the Kewl Tune name's popularity (usage stats) confirmed the list is real but did not add points. Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample exists, and there is no side deck, which holds the score down; combo ceiling and median are text-only inference because no recorded boards exist.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile only; Stun noted as secondary and not blended, so the weights are not tuned to force a score. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 74, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Off-archetype engine conflict (-2); No side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(64.35) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(56) = 62.7, then ContextModifiers (-4) = 58.7, rounded to 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered hand-trap interaction (15 cards, 95 percent in a going-second 6-card hand)
• Redundant Tuner starters with three-copy Mix and two-copy Clip/JJ/Playlist
• Extra Deck closing power: Kewl Tune B2B 3200 ATK and TY-PHON 2900 ATK
• GY recursion keeps the line alive after one disruption

Weaknesses

• No side deck (Side Deck size 0): no post-side plan
• Off-archetype copies (Earthbound, Dominus, Greed Pot, Synchro Overtake) dilute engine coherence
• Hand traps are dead on a going-first opening without a target
• No recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates

Critical choke points

• Tuner-chain starter in hand: if the opening has no Tuner or JJ/Playlist, the Synchro line does not start
• Single Extra Deck boss lines depend on Synchro Summon legality after disruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal OCG 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; copy limits respected (Limited cards at 1 copy, Ash at 2 Semi-Limited); Exact-archetype purity 41.8 percent (23 of 55 copies); Extra Deck: 14 Synchro and 1 XYZ
• Observed: Usage stats show Droll & Lock Bird 70 percent and Effect Veiler 63 percent inclusion among archetype decks (archetype context only)
• Inferred: Archetype-core proxy P(at least one in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.82; Hand-trap P(at least one in 6-card hand) ≈ 0.95; Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Structural and final scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and D13; Side deck adaptability (D12)
• 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 usage statistics in this deck flags conflict with the card list: Kewl Tune B2B, RS, Remix, Track Maker and Crackle are present in the Extra Deck (copies 1 to 2) but flagged in this deck false, so the core-card presence of 50 is likely understated; scored from the card list No side deck registered, so no post-side evidence No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates); Meta Power is Provisional No guides attached (guide data total 0)
