P.U.N.K. Deck #772461 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro, Fusion and Xyz pressure from P.U.N.K. monsters (Amazing Dragon, JAM Dragon Drive, Juraishin, Absolute Axon Kicker) with 2600-3400 ATK bodies; Kaiju boards (Gadarla, Gameciel, Dogoran) and non-archetype Psychic Synchros as alternative boss threats
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening P.U.N.K. starter (Ze Amin, Rising Scale, Ogre Dance, Deer Note, Foxy Tune) to search or summon the next P.U.N.K. piece, then a Synchro or Fusion into a boss while holding Ghost Ogre / D.D. Crow against the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a hand trap (Nibiru, Ghost Ogre, D.D. Crow, Ghost Mourner) or Mind Over Matter to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the P.U.N.K. engine
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY through Deer Note, Foxy Tune, JAM Extreme Session and the Psychic Synchros, plus Small World and Mind Procedure for card-based recovery
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no recorded post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably reaches the P.U.N.K. core: the archetype core group (19 copies) gives about 0.89 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opener, so the engine opens often, though any single starter is only about 0.25 likely. Interaction is the strongest system trait: six hand traps, Mind Over Matter, Dark Ruler No More, Dark Hole, Twin Twisters, Cosmic Cyclone and Nashiwari Surprise give a dense answer suite, which lifts the end-board and going-second scores. Closing power is high because the Extra Deck carries several 2600-3400 ATK bodies, but no combo records exist, so the floor and median are weak estimates. The deck has no side deck and no post-side plan, which caps adaptability and tournament reliability. Archetype popularity and usage share did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from opening consistency, interaction, and closing power on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary Midrange, with Toolbox weight shifts noted in the rationale; no secondary blend applied to the numbers. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Kaiju engine conflict (-2); Usage-core deviation (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 58.1, TR 52, modifiers -6, gives 50.9, rounded to 51)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Archetype core is dense: 19 copies give about 0.89 chance of at least one in a 5-card opener
• Interaction breadth: six hand traps plus Mind Over Matter, Dark Ruler No More, Dark Hole, Twin Twisters, Cosmic Cyclone and Nashiwari Surprise
• Extra Deck closing power in the 2600-3400 ATK range with Synchro, Fusion and Xyz routes

Weaknesses

• No side deck: no post-side plan and no adaptability for best-of-3
• Non-engine triples (Dark Ruler No More, Mind Over Matter, Small World) need a board or a specific starter
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• A single P.U.N.K. starter is about 0.25 likely in a 5-card hand, so the first summon depends on the archetype core being drawn
• Kaiju singletons compete for one Kaiju field slot

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in OCG: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within 40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15; All copy counts within legal limits; no banned or restricted cards; Archetype usage rows show Psychic End Punisher at 100% and Emergency Teleport at 80% inclusion, neither in this list
• Observed: Usage statistics: 20 archetype rows, 17 core cards, 10 present in this deck
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from the hypergeometric draw table; Interaction density from text roles (11 negation, 6 hand traps, 28 removal); Kaiju field-slot conflict from card text; Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14
• Provisional: D13 matchup and format fit (no dated meta, no tournament link); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits, matchup results and brick rates are Inferred Data inconsistency: usage statistics marks P.U.N.K. JAM FEVER!, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Rising Carp, P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive and Juraishin as not in this deck, but the card list places them in the Extra Deck; the missing-core list for those cards was not used No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptability cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample supplied
