Icejade Deck #772622 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro boss beatdown (Azure Ocean Dragon Lord - Neo-Daedalus Rage, Varar, White Aura Whale, Poseidra) once the Umi / Atlantis field is established; Negation-chain interaction (Solemn, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird) grinding the opponent out
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Advent of Atlantis, Fish Sonar or Warchief of Atlantis to place Atlantis and search an Umi/Atlantis monster, then build a Link or Synchro board while holding Solemn or Ash Blossom up
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2 to 3 hand traps and a Solemn-family trap in hand, negate the opponent's first summon or engine, then convert through Levia-Dragoon or Neo-Daedalus Rage
• Recovery: Recycle Atlantis-mentioning monsters from the GY (Warchief, Siren Vortex, Monster Arms) through Levia-Dragon, Daedalus Maelstrom and Azure Ocean Dragon Lord, and rebuild the field from the Deck
• After siding: None: the deck has 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (best-of-3 adaptation is unsupported by the list)

Why it scores here

The score is built from the deck as a system and is not an average of card scores. The 17 searcher-text cards give an 84% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the three-copy engine starters (Advent of Atlantis, Warchief, Siren Vortex) each have about a 24% chance of appearing in that hand, so the engine is reliably reachable but not dependable. Interaction is the strongest part of the list, with 7 hand traps, 19 negation-text cards and 16 removal-text cards, which lifts end-board quality. Conversion and median output are unscored in practice because there are no recorded boards, so both rest on text-only inference. The deck is capped to 30 because two Forbidden cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Bahamut Shark) break copy limits, which makes it illegal in OCG. The archetype label Icejade does not match the card pool, which is Atlantis, Umi and Daedalus, and popularity or usage data did not earn any points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 100% (Combo traits informed the read but not the weights). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*40 - 6 = 43.6, then capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Engine starters are triple-copied and the searcher density is high (17 searcher-text cards)
• Interaction is layered: 7 hand traps, Solemn family, Ash Blossom and Maxx C cover both summon and activation windows
• Extra Deck has several high-ATK Link and Synchro closers
• Multiple recursion routes from the GY (Atlantis-mentioning monsters)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards (Triple Tactics Talent in Main, Bahamut Shark in Extra) must be removed before any normal score applies
• Archetype label Icejade does not match the card pool (0 Icejade cards; pool reads Atlantis, Umi and Daedalus)
• No Side Deck, so there is no best-of-3 adaptation
• High off-archetype spread (72 off-archetype copies) and many one-ofs reduce coherence
• 57-card Main Deck with many level-0 spell and trap slots is inefficient

Critical choke points

• Atlantis-mentioning monsters as the engine's single access point (the Field Spell and Fish Sonar routes)
• Hand-trap density at going-second (P(>=1) = 0.56) is the main defence against the opponent's first summon
• Bahamut Shark is Forbidden, so the Xyz route for Rank 3 and lower WATER Xyz monsters is unavailable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Triple Tactics Talent and Bahamut Shark are Forbidden with 0 legal copies; Main 57 (legal 40-60), Extra 15 (legal 0-15), Side 0; Copy histogram 1x18, 2x3, 3x11 (totals 57); Archetype purity 0% exact-name; 72 off-archetype copies; Usage stats: 3 of 8 core cards present (37.5%); No combos, no tournament link, no guides
• Inferred: At least one searcher in hand5 = 0.84 (hypergeometric); Engine starter P(>=1 in hand5) = 0.24 per 3-copy card; Hand-trap P(>=1 in hand6) = 0.56; Interaction density from negation and removal text (19 and 16 cards); Boss ATK ceilings from card text and stats; Going-first and going-second power are text-only reads
• Provisional: Meta Power is null (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage (D13) is provisional; Tournament reliability is provisional without any match record
• 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, brick and starter rates) - those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied archetype label Icejade has no matching cards in the list or in the archetype spread no Side Deck supplied, so D12 has no post-side evidence
