Kewl Tune Deck #772612 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 10 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon from the 15-card Kewl Tune / Elfnote Extra Deck (Kewl Tune RS, Remix, Track Maker, Loudness War, Elfnote June Pride, Chaofeng, Zalen) to establish a board that is hard to remove through the Kewl Tune Tuner chain; Elfnote recursion and Special Summon pressure (Elfnote Tinia, Fortuna, Regina) plus hand-trap disruption to protect the Synchro turn
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Kewl Tune Tuner or Elfnote Tuner, search a Kewl Tune card, then Synchro Summon through Kewl Tune Synchro or a Tuner-plus-non-Tuner pairing; hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C for opponent responses (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Maxx C and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit as hand traps against the opponent's first Special Summon or search, then rebuild a Synchro board from the GY Tuners (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Elfnote and Kewl Tune effects that Special Summon or add Tuners from the GY, with Kewl Tune Mix, Cue and Clip as recurring Tuner sources (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck would need to be rebuilt within the copy limits before a best-of-3 read is possible

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its cards. Its core Kewl Tune engine is reliably reachable: the archetype core group has about an 88% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and searcher-text cards have about a 92% chance (Inferred, hypergeometric). The Extra Deck of 15 Synchro monsters offers several strong closers, though there is no recorded combo data, so conversion and floor are estimated from card text only. Interaction is layered through hand traps such as Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Maxx C and Ghost Ogre, which gives a credible going-second plan. Popularity and archetype usage did not add points: the list is illegal, with three Forbidden cards and nine over-limit copies, so it receives a theoretical cap, and the absent side deck removes any post-side credit. The banlist exposure modifier applies in full.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Stun secondary (not blended numerically; Combo weights applied). Structural ≈ 54.3, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal-deck cap (-5). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*54.3 + 0.20*45 = 52.4; modifiers -12 (banlist exposure) gives 40.4; Illegal deck capped to theoretical 35 (structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core and searcher density give a high probability of an opening engine piece
• Layered hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre) for going second
• Extra Deck of 15 Synchro monsters with high-ATK closers (3100, 2800, 2800)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: three Forbidden cards and six Limited cards over their limits
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptability
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and floor are unverified
• Heavy Tuner count makes hands dependent on having a second Tuner

Critical choke points

• Two-Tuner requirement for the Kewl Tune engine; losing Tuners to hand-trap responses or over-limit removal stalls the Synchro turn
• Reliance on Kewl Tune Synchro and Kewl Tune Reco as searchers that are both over-limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status with three Forbidden cards and nine over-limit copies; Deck size 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side within OCG size rules; Archetype core inclusion and typical copies from usage statistics
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for the Kewl Tune core and searchers; Hand-trap coverage on going-second turns; Synchro engine ceiling and recovery from card text
• Provisional: Matchup fit and format fit (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no side deck — no post-side plan can be assessed no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; name is taken from archetype only
