Jinzo Deck #772659 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz/Link boss pressure from the Extra Deck (K9-X Werewolf, Number C104 Umbral Horror Masquerade Victory, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) after the K9 and Dark Time Wizard engines open; Dark Time Wizard-linked Fusion (Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed) and Xyz Summon chains through Mulcharmy and K9 material
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an engine starter (K9-66b Lantern, Dark Time Wizard, Alligator's Dragon Knight, or Mulcharmy) and hold a hand trap such as Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first activation; only about 0.25 of hands contain any single 3-copy card
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present a hand trap (about 0.89 chance of at least one) and then rebuild through the searcher or Mulcharmy draw effects
• Recovery: Searchers (K9-66a Jokul, Dark Time Wizard, Chaotic Elements, A Case for K9) and the Graveyard-based Foolish Graverobber recycle the engine after the first interruption
• After siding: Not available: Side Deck size is 0, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: it reliably reaches an engine starter (about 0.93 chance of at least one archetype-core card in the opening five) and has 16 hand traps plus 8 negation-text cards that give it strong interaction on the opponent's first plays. Its weaknesses are fragmented engine coherence (only 0% exact-archetype purity, with 70 copies spread over Dark Time Wizard, K9, Mulcharmy, Magician, and other sub-archetypes), a high brick and conditional-starter risk, and no side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation. Strong Extra Deck boss options and going-second hand-trap density raise the structural score, but no recorded combos, no guides and no tournament data exist, so ceiling and median are text-based inference only. The list is Illegal under OCG copy limits (three copies each of Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna against a limit of two), so the Final Contextual score is capped low and the evaluation is structural only; popularity did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.85 Midrange / 0.15 Stun (Inferred). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12); No side deck (-3); Engine coherence split (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: uncapped 0.80*Structural(55)+0.20*TournamentReliability(45)=53, capped to 35 as a theoretical/structural-only score; Meta Power provisional/null

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 coverage (16 hand traps, 8 negation texts)
• High archetype-core probability in the opening hand (~0.93)
• Extra Deck offers several 2500-3300 ATK Xyz/Link bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits (Ash Blossom x3 and K9-17 Izuna x3 against a limit of 2)
• Low engine coherence: 0% exact-archetype purity across several sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combos or tournament data to validate the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Conditional K9 and Dark Time Wizard starters that depend on opponent hand size or other DTW-text cards
• Single-copy Link enablers (S:P Little Knight, Droll & Lock Bird) with no redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with two copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, K9-17 Izuna); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Side 0; Banlist: Limited/Semi-Limited statuses for listed restricted cards; Card stats and text excerpts from the evidence pack
• Observed: Usage: 10 of 14 core cards present (71.4%)
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction breadth read from text role hints; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side performance is unknown
