Borrel Deck #772372 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-5 Borrel boards (Borrelend Dragon / Borrelshroud Dragon at 3500 ATK) built through Rokket Link chains (Inferred; the two Link-5s are present in the extra list but flagged missing in usage_statistics); Mulcharmy draw-engine grind plus Bystial Dis Pater / Red-Eyes Fullmetal beatsticks (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Quick Launch or Rokket Loader to open a Rokket monster, pivot through Rokket Tracer / Rokket Caliber into a Link Summon, then build toward a Link-5 (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 8 hand traps (Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Solemn) to break the opponent's first line, then recover with Mulcharmy draws and Rokket Tracer or Quick Launch (Inferred)
• Recovery: Borrel Regenerator, Absorouter Dragon GY recursion, Rokket Detonator and the Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand after a broken turn (Inferred)
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards in an OCG format that allows up to 15, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal under OCG rules (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are each run 3 times against a 2-copy Semi-Limited limit), so the score is capped and labelled theoretical/structural-only. Structurally the deck reliably opens a Rokket starter: the archetype-core group has about a 91.5% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and Quick Launch plus Rokket Loader gives a two-card bootstrap (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from the Link-5 Borrel dragons and 3000–3500 ATK Link and Synchro bosses, while the eight hand traps and Mulcharmy draws support interruption resilience and card economy. Weaknesses are the absence of any recorded boards, no sideboard, and a deck that spreads across several sub-archetypes (exact-name purity is 9.9%). Popularity and usage inclusion did not earn points; the score comes from the consistency, interaction and closing read on the system, not from averaging card scores. The deck is scored as one connected system, and the cap is applied because the list cannot be played as built.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59.2, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3); engine conflicts (-4); illegal list cap (-10). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*59.2 + 0.20*50 + modifiers(-7) = 50.4, then capped to 40 because the list is Illegal (over-limit Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Consistent Rokket starter access (archetype core ≈ 91.5% in opening 5)
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps plus removal and negation text
• High closing ceiling: Link-5 and 3000+ ATK bosses
• Mulcharmy draw engine gives card economy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• No sideboard (side_count 0)
• Low archetype purity (9.9%) across Rokket, Mulcharmy, Red-Eyes, Dragunity and Bystial lines
• No recorded boards, so floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Rokket starter (Rokket Loader or Quick Launch) in the opening hand
• Quick Launch / Rokket Tracer as the Link pivot into the Link-5 bosses

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main 56 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Extra Deck breakdown: 13 Link, 1 Synchro, 1 Fusion; Card text and stats for the listed cards
• Inferred: Starter consistency (P≈0.915 archetype-core in opening 5); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Brick, recovery and interruption resilience from text and composition; Link-5 ceiling from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: score is capped and treated as theoretical/structural-only No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics flags Borrelshroud Dragon, Borrelend Dragon, Trisborrel Dragon and Borreload Fatalflare Dragon as missing core, yet all four are present in the extra list; the usage check is inconsistent and was not used to score core presence
