Artifact Deck #772319 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board pressure from the Cyber Dragon, Cyberdark and K9 monster lines, converted into Extra Deck summons (Cyber Dragon Nova, Chimeratech Rampage Dragon, Chaos Angel, Number C101); Hand-trap-supported going-second disruption that leaves the opponent without a board to answer with
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Normal Summonable starter (Cyber Dragon Core, Cyberdark Claw or K9 monsters), search an archetype partner, and hold Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence as protection for the first engine turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first interaction or board (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird), then rebuild through the searcher-heavy spells
• Recovery: Search or recurse through Cyber Emergency, Cyberdark Realm, Cyber Dragon Nachster and the Mulcharmy draw engine after a single interruption
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot be adjusted between games

Why it scores here

This deck cannot earn a normal score because it breaks the OCG copy limit: it runs three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna, where the limit is two, and it has an unresolved passcode in the main deck. Its structural strength comes from the system rather than the card list: 14 hand traps and a searcher-heavy spell package give it a good going-second disruption plan and reasonable interaction density. Its weaknesses are a mixed engine across five sub-archetypes (only 4% of the main deck is exact-name Artifact), a 40% chance of having no core-archetype card in a going-first opening hand, and a 26-card singleton-heavy main deck that is tech-dependent. No combo boards were recorded and no tournament or meta sample exists, so the floor and matchup dimensions rest on text inference and carry low confidence. Popularity was not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange + 0.2 Stun (not applied to the final score; the deck is capped). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-12); unresolved_passcode (0); no Side Deck (0). Final formula: Raw: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6; Illegal copy-limit modifier -12 gives 37.6, capped at 30 under the Illegal rule (theoretical/structural only, no normal final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.6 · 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 hand-trap package (14) gives strong going-second interaction
• Searcher-text density (21 cards) supports consistent access to engine pieces
• Layered negation and removal (Ash, Impermanence, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Disablaster)
• Extra Deck coverage across Link, Xyz, Fusion and Synchro

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two cards exceed the OCG copy limit
• Mixed engine across five sub-archetypes with only 4% exact-name purity
• Singleton-heavy main deck (26 singletons) raises brick risk
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo data, so the ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Core archetype group: only a 60% chance of at least one core card in a going-first opening hand
• Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna are both over the copy limit, so the list cannot be played as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Two cards exceed the OCG copy limit (Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna at 3 copies each); Main deck is 56 cards and Extra Deck is 14, both within OCG size rules; No Side Deck registered; Archetype purity is 4.3% exact-name
• Observed: No combos recorded; No tournament link
• Inferred: Core archetype group P(>=1 in 5) = 0.60; Hand-trap P(>=1 in 6 going second) = 0.84; Midrange with secondary Stun strategy; Interaction density is high based on text roles
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup fit (D13) is provisional
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent One main-deck passcode (10443957) could not be resolved to a card No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
