Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-enabled boards that Extra Deck into Link, Synchro, Xyz and Fusion closers (Odd-Eyes Absolute, Chaos Angel, Ignister Prominence, Zefra Metaltron, Accesscode Talker); Odd-Eyes Override and Odd-Eyes Vortex pressure after a Pendulum Summon, with Mulcharmy draw as card advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Pendulum set (Monkeyboard, Skullcrobat Joker, Revolution Dragon or Gentrude) and search a second Pendulum; the hand is Pendulum-heavy and needs a second starter to convert
• Turn 2 (going second): Play a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild with Mulcharmy draw and Pendulum searches
• Recovery: Pendulum Zone recursion through Odd-Eyes and Performapal GY effects, Mulcharmy draw, and Link or Synchro material reuse from the Extra Deck
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no evidenced post-side plan; the list is structural-only

Why it scores here

The list is scored as a system: a fragmented 55-card main (exact Performapal name purity 7.1%, spread across Odd-Eyes, Magician, Mulcharmy, Dragunity, Dracoslayer, Chaos, Zefra and Code Talker) makes the engine cohesion weak. Accessibility is limited by copy counts: a 3-copy starter appears in a 5-card opening hand about 25% of the time, and the 15-copy archetype core has about 81% chance of at least one in hand, which is Inferred from hypergeometric estimates. Interaction is the strongest part of the list, with 12 hand traps, 22 negation-text cards and 23 removal-text cards, giving about 79% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred). The Extra Deck of 15 has real closers, but the Pendulum and Link requirements mean the boards it needs are unreliable. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core is 40% present and the list is not a standard build. Card scores were not averaged, and the deck is capped to 30 because it breaks the Ash Blossom copy limit, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 49.2, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist and copy-limit exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional. Final pre-cap = 0.80*49.2 + 0.20*42 = 47.8; with modifiers -7 = 40.8; ILLEGAL legality cap applied: score 30, theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage (12 hand traps, ≈0.79 P(≥1) in a going-second hand)
• Strong Extra Deck closers with multiple Link and Synchro material routes
• Mulcharmy draw and Pendulum searches supply card advantage and resource regeneration

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom is over its Semi-Limited copy limit
• Fragmented engine: 7.1% exact archetype purity across roughly nine sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no evidenced post-side adaptability
• Four Limited cards and many one-copy starters raise brick and dead-draw risk

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone setup: the Odd-Eyes and Performapal engine needs a valid scale pair from the hand
• Extra Deck material routing for Link and Synchro closers, which depends on Pendulum or Monster board presence
• Copy-limit compliance: the list cannot be played until one Ash Blossom is removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within size rules (main 40–60, extra 0–15, side 0–15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against Semi-Limited limit 2 (Illegal); Limited cards at cap: Astrograph Sorcerer, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, S:P Little Knight; Archetype purity 7.1% and card-type breakdown from composition
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand chances (starter, hand trap, searcher groups); Dimension scores D1–D14 from card text and composition; Structural and final scores via the Toolbox profile; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates): those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so no post-side evidence exists
