ABC Deck #772382 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 61 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Union-engine boards (ABC and A-to-Z Union Machines) that Special Summon and equip into Extra Deck bosses such as ABC-Dragon Buster, XYZ-Hyper Dragon Cannon and Invoked Mechaba; Galaxy-Eyes and Cyber Dragon Extra Deck threats backed by Galaxy Photon Dragon, Cyber Dragon Nova and Number 90
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Union starter with Union Hangar or Union Activation, Normal Summon or Special Summon the Union monster, then equip to a LIGHT Machine and reach a Fusion or Link boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird) and negate the first starter, then rebuild with a second Union line from the Deck
• Recovery: Recycle Union monsters from the GY through Unauthorized Reactivation and Union Activation; banish-cost Extra Deck summons refill the board
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

This list cannot be scored as a normal deck: it has 61 main-deck cards against an OCG limit of 60, and it runs one copy of Triple Tactics Talent, which is Forbidden. The score below is a structural-only read of the system, capped low because the list is illegal. Its engine is a dense Union-Machine core (about 96.6% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) with heavy searcher density (17 searchers, about 82% to have one in hand), so it opens functional hands often. Interaction is strong on paper: 12 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, with about 75% chance of a hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred), which earns the going-second and end-board dimensions. Popularity did not earn points: usage statistics show the archetype core, but the score does not rely on it. No combo boards exist in the evidence, so ceiling and median are text-only inference, and no side deck or matchup data exists to lift the score further. The score was not produced by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange secondary (approximate, weights taken from the Combo profile). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-8); Banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 50.2; modifiers -12 gives 38; Illegal cap applied, final score 30 (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 starter redundancy (17 searchers, 3-copy Union Hangar, Union Activation, Unauthorized Reactivation)
• Strong hand-trap and negation coverage for going second (12 hand traps)
• Extra Deck bosses with negation and banish-based removal text
• Consistent core with about 96.6% opening access to at least one core card (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 61 main cards exceeds the OCG cap of 60
• Forbidden card Triple Tactics Talent is present
• No side deck, so no matchup adaptation or post-side plan
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are unverified
• One passcode in the list did not resolve to a card

Critical choke points

• The list must be legal before any normal score applies: remove one card to reach 60 main and remove Triple Tactics Talent
• Union Hangar or Union Activation as the single search route for most lines; a lost searcher stalls the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck is 61 cards against an OCG size rule of 40-60; Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run 1 copy (legal copies 0); Extra Deck composition is 7 Fusion, 3 Link, 3 Xyz and 1 Synchro (14 cards); No side deck is present
• Inferred: Opening access to the Union core is about 96.6% (hypergeometric); Going-second hand traps reach about 75% of hands (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high based on negation and removal card text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated meta sample supplied); Median output (no combo boards)
• 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 One passcode (10443957) could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured
