Rescue-ACE Deck #772314 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Unclear. Vanquish Soul and K9 Xyz/Link boards are the likeliest closers, but no single line is consistently assembled.; Number and Bystial beatsticks through Extra Deck access, plus Dogoran as a going-second board breaker.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Vanquish Soul or K9 starter (Jiaolong, Dr. Mad Love, Stake your Soul!, K9-66b Lantern) and pivot to a Level 5 Xyz or Link. Hand traps are held for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, and Red Reboot for the opponent's starter. Then rebuild through Vanquish Soul searchers or Dogoran's Tribute Summon.
• Recovery: Searchers (Vanquish Soul Start!, Dr. Mad Love, Heavy Borger, A Case for K9) rebuild from the Deck. Recursion is limited, so the recovery depends on the Deck still holding searchable monsters.
• After siding: Not evaluable. The side Deck is empty, so the deck has no post-side plan at all.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: it has no coherent engine. Its 53 Main cards spread across at least five archetype families (Vanquish Soul, K9, Umbral Horror, Mulcharmy, Bystial), and only 3 Main cards carry the Rescue-ACE name, so the 'Rescue-ACE' label does not describe what the list does. Interaction is the strongest part: two Ash Blossom, two Ghost Belle, Red Reboot, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, and two Mind Mirror Force give dense negation, and the Extra Deck offers high-ATK boss monsters. Opening reliability is weak. Each three-copy starter reaches an opening hand 26% of the time going first, and no combo data was supplied, so conversion and median output are text-only inference. The deck is Illegal (two copies of a Limited card, one Forbidden card, and 17 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card cap). The score is therefore a structural-only, theoretical read capped low. Popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal-deck cap applied: structural-only, theoretical read

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 package: 2x Ash Blossom, 2x Ghost Belle, Red Reboot, 2x Mind Mirror Force, Maxx C, and Droll & Lock Bird
• High-ATK closers across several engines (Caesar Valius, Werewolf, TY-PHON, Chengying, Arc Rebellion, Dogoran)
• Multiple searchers (16 searcher-text cards) keep the hand from running out of options

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 17 Extra Deck cards (cap 15), 'A Case for K9' over its Limited count, and Baronne de Fleur (Forbidden) present
• No coherent engine: at least five archetype families share the Main Deck, with only 4.3% exact-name Rescue-ACE purity
• Empty side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• No combo evidence or usage-based core, so the deck's intended plan can't be confirmed

Critical choke points

• Each three-copy starter (Jiaolong, Dr. Mad Love, Stake your Soul!) has a 26% chance of appearing in a 5-card opener, so the opening hand often has no starter
• Extra Deck overflow: fixing the 17-card count requires cutting Extra Deck routes that the Main Deck's starters depend on
• Forbidden Baronne de Fleur is a hard Main Deck cut, and A Case for K9 must lose a copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status is Illegal: 'A Case for K9' runs 2 copies against a Limited count of 1; Baronne de Fleur (Forbidden) runs 1 copy; the Extra Deck has 17 cards against a cap of 15; Main Deck is 53 cards with 35 distinct names, and the side Deck is empty; Archetype purity is 4.3%; 67 of 70 archetype-named copies are off-archetype
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds for each starter and for the key groups; Engine coherence and engine conflicts, from the archetype spread and card text; Interaction density (negation and removal text) and the closing power from ATK values
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link is available; Median and floor output: no recorded boards are available
• 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: going-first/second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null, and the side Deck is empty
