Train Deck #772439 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Machine Xyz finishers (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Number 81 Super Dora, Juggernaut Liebe) attacking through an emptied board, fed by Train searches and Special Summons; Link and Xyz board-breaking through Therion King Regulus and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS interaction plus Gustav Max direct damage
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening-hand Train starter (Exceptional Schedule, Night Train Blue Traveler, Heavy Armored Knight Babeldecker) to reach a Level 10 EARTH Machine body, then Xyz into a Rank 10 finisher; hold Ash Blossom and Droll as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre and Evenly Matched to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the board with Train monsters and Extra Deck Xyz
• Recovery: Night Train Blue Traveler and Revolving Switchyard re-deploy Level 10 EARTH Machines from the GY, and Scrap Recycler and Mulcharmy Fuwalos refill the hand
• After siding: Not defined: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Train starter: 21 copies of the Train core give P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.90, and 17 searcher cards add further access (Inferred). Its interaction package is broad, with 11 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards plus Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster, so it can contest the opponent's first engine. Its finishers are strong on paper, with Gustav Rocket at 5000 ATK and Super Dora at 3200 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points (the core is only 55 percent present in this list), and the score was not averaged from card scores. The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a limit of 2, and it has no side deck, so the structural score is capped at 25.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary, disclosed; no weight tuning to force a score. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no Side Deck (-4); unresolved_passcode (-2); illegal_structural_cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 42.6 uncapped; Illegal deck capped at 25 (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.1 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Train starter access is high (about 0.90 in a 5-card hand, Inferred)
• Broad hand-trap and negation package for going second
• Multiple Extra Deck finishers with high ATK and direct damage options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom runs over its copy limit
• No side deck at all, so no post-side adaptation
• Dense tech and non-monster slots (20 Level 0 cards) reduce consistency

Critical choke points

• Single Train starter line through Exceptional Schedule and Night Train Blue Traveler
• Rank 10 Machine Xyz requirement for the Super Dora and Gustav Rocket finishers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 58 and Extra 14 are within size rules; Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Side deck is empty; Extra Deck ATK values Gustav Rocket 5000 and Super Dora 3200; One passcode is unresolved
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in 5-card hand) about 0.90; Hand-trap and negation density gives going-second interaction; Brick rate estimated at about 0.10 from core-group proxy
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is a placeholder
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent One passcode (10443957) in the deck could not be resolved and was counted as main No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied Deck is Illegal (copy limit), so the score is a capped structural read only
