Snake-Eyes Deck #772563 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · 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. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Snake-Eye and Diabellstar / Flamberge beatdown off a Snake-Eye engine, with Mulcharmy draw support (Inferred; no combos supplied); Azamina Mu Rcielago board pressure via Sinful Spoils searches (Inferred; Azamina Ilia Silvia cannot be legally played)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Snake-Eye Ash / Oak / Poplar searches into a Snake-Eye link or Diabellstar, backed by Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Artifact Lancea, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's turn-1 play, then Mulcharmy draw and Snake-Eye recovery (Inferred)
• Recovery: Snake-Eye Ash and Oak recursion from the GY and Sinful Spoils recovery (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG as submitted: seven copy-limit or Forbidden violations, including three Forbidden cards, so it receives a theoretical, structural-only score capped at 20 rather than a normal contextual score. The Snake-Eye core is partly present (Ash, Oak, Poplar, Flamberge, Diabellstar) but is diluted by 70 off-archetype copies and a heavy tech package (20 tech, 14 hand traps, 16 searchers), so it reliably opens the wrong hand more often than a functional plan. Interaction density is the strongest area (D7), but it is sustained by the same over-limited hand traps that make the list illegal. No combo boards, tournament record or side deck exist, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences, and popularity or archetype usage earned no points. The score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and efficiency, not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); engine dispersal (-2). Final formula: Illegal: theoretical/structural-only. Uncapped 0.80*45 + 0.20*35 = 43, plus modifiers -12 = 31, then capped at 20 for illegal status. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.18 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (14 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards)
• Multiple Snake-Eye recursion and search effects for resource recovery
• Mulcharmy draw support against summons

Weaknesses

• Illegal: seven copy-limit or Forbidden violations
• 70 off-archetype copies with no exact-name Snake-Eyes purity
• Empty Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No combo or tournament evidence to confirm consistency

Critical choke points

• Snake-Eye Ash is capped at 1 legal copy but is run 2; a single removal leaves the engine short
• Dependence on Ash Blossom and hand traps that are capped at 2 copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit and banlist violations per the legality block; Card text and stats from the card list; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 composition
• Inferred: Starter access, brick rate and interaction estimates from hypergeometric probabilities and text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit: no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null
