Rescue-ACE Deck #772334 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz pressure from K9-X "Ripper/M" (3100 ATK, piercing), with Vanquish Soul Caesar Valius (3000 ATK) and Jiaolong (2400 ATK) as beatsticks; Super Starslayer TY-PHON and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS as high-ATK Extra Deck closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Vanquish Soul monster with Vanquish Soul Dr. Mad Love or Vanquish Soul, Start!, then use Stake your Soul! and the attribute-reveal effects to build a Xyz or Link board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit as hand traps, then go to Xyz through K9-66X "Jacks" and K9-17 "Ripper"
• Recovery: Use Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Pot of Prosperity for draws and card advantage, and detach Xyz materials for the K9 and Number effects
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG as built: three cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom, Vanquish Soul Razen and K9-17 Izuna at 3 copies each), so it gets a theoretical score only and is capped at 30. Its structure is a Vanquish Soul and K9 Midrange shell with 15 search effects and 9 hand traps, which keeps the engine likely to start and gives it interaction on both turns. The Extra Deck is strong (K9-X Ripper/M, TY-PHON, AA-ZEUS, Jacks) and gives real end-board pressure. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from the individual cards' power or the archetype label. It has no Side Deck, no recorded boards, and no tournament data, so the combo and matchup dimensions are Inferred and the confidence is Low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-3); archetype label mismatch (-2). Final formula: Theoretical only: 0.80*Structural(57, D13 dropped and renormalised) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-11) = about 44, capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 searcher and hand-trap package: 15 searchers and 9 hand traps
• Layered interaction across both turns (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Number C104, Ripper negations)
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers with real board-breaking routes (K9-X Ripper/M piercing, Caesar Valius, TY-PHON)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three cards exceed their copy limits
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Low coherence: 57 off-archetype copies across Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy and Greed, with 9 cards at 3 copies
• Single-copy Extra Deck staples are fragile if a choke point is hit

Critical choke points

• Vanquish Soul starter access (Dr. Mad Love, Vanquish Soul Start!) depends on a small number of searchers
• Level 5 Xyz requirements (K9 Xyz) depend on a few Level 5 monsters in hand
• Limited-status cards (Razen, Hollie Sue, Reinforcement, Pot of Prosperity) cap how many copies can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 43, Extra 14, Side 0; sizes are legal for OCG; Three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom 3/2, Razen 3/1, Izuna 3/2); Limited and Semi-Limited statuses for the restricted cards; Card text and stats for the Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy and Xyz cards
• Observed: No observed boards or win-rate data are available
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher-text card in opening 5) about 0.90; Interaction density and going-second strength are text-based reads; Engine accessibility and brick risk are estimated from hypergeometric odds and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit, pending a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null and the archetype label (Rescue-ACE) does not match the contents
