Kaiju Deck #772543 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Boss monsters and Xyz/Link pressure built from Vanquish Soul and K9 searches (for example Vanquish Soul Caesar Valius, K9-X Werewolf, Vanquish Soul Rocks); Kaiju boss Dogoran plus Number C104 / TY-PHON / AA-ZEUS as late-game extenders, none of which is a reliable finisher on its own
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Vanquish Soul or K9 searcher (Dr. Mad Love, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, K9-66a Jokul) to reach a Level 4-5 Xyz or Link base, then use Stake your Soul! or Vanquish Soul, Start! to add a second body
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to blank the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a board with the searchers that remain
• Recovery: Vanquish Soul Rocks and Rock of the Vanquisher recover Xyz/Link presence from Extra Deck material; Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger and Vanquish Soul Razen re-search when the board is cleared
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an illegal OCG list: three cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna at 3 copies each against a limit of 2, Vanquish Soul Razen at 3 against a limit of 1), so the final score is capped low and the evaluation is structural-only. The 3-copy searchers give a 25% chance of at least one of a given card in a 5-card opening hand, and the 16 search cards give about 83% of at least one searcher, which supports the engine on paper. Toolbox density (13 hand traps, 18 tech cards, 3 floodgates) gives reasonable interaction and going-second resilience. However, the list is only 1.4% exact Kaiju archetype: 69 of 70 archetype-tagged copies belong to other sub-archetypes (Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy, Bystial), so the engine is spread across several families. No combos, tournament results or side deck are supplied, so the score comes from the system's consistency and interaction read, not from card-level strength and not from Kaiju's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox weights used for structural; Balanced weights used as a cross-check (structural 46 under Balanced as well). Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-5); archetype_incoherence (-3); illegal_list_cap (0). Final formula: Illegal deck: structural-only. Unrounded 0.80*46 + 0.20*30 - 8 (modifiers) = 34.8, capped to 30 because the list is illegal. Meta Power is null (provisional).

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

• Dense searcher density (16 search-text cards) with 3-copy starters
• High hand-trap and negation density (13 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards) for going second
• Floodgates and removal text give layered end-board interaction

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three cards over copy limits
• No side deck
• Engine split across Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy and Bystial
• No recorded combos or tournament data

Critical choke points

• Illegal copy counts must be fixed before any normal score can apply
• Starter access depends on a single 3-copy searcher per family
• No side deck: no answer to a hostile matchup after game 1

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; OCG copy-limit violations for Ash Blossom, Vanquish Soul Razen and K9-17 Izuna; Archetype purity 1.4% exact name; 69 off-archetype copies; Role tags: 13 hand traps, 18 tech, 3 floodgates, 16 searchers, 16 removal-text, 9 negation-text
• Observed: Usage stat: Harpie's Feather Duster present at 62.5% inclusion (core card, present in this deck)
• Inferred: Starter access and brick risk from hypergeometric draws and family split; Going-second hand-trap resilience; Dimension scores D1-D14 from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup/format fit: no dated metagame sample
• 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 No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred No side deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
