Performage Deck #772747 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz boss monsters (Time Thief Redoer, Eclipse Twins, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon) built from Time Thief and cross-archetype Xyz material; Recursion-driven Time Thief Bezel Ship and Winder loops that rebuild board presence after removal
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Time Thief or Performage starter, Normal Summon into Time Thief Regulator or Bezel Ship, then build a Rank 4 Xyz and keep Cosmic Cyclone, Crackdown or Raigeki for the opponent's first threat
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 56% hand-trap hit rate from D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Ghost Belle and PSY-Framegear Gamma to break the opponent's opening line, then stabilise with Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster or Cosmic Cyclone
• Recovery: Banish Raider's Wing, Time Thief Bezel Ship and Winder from the GY to re-summon or re-attach materials; Time Thief Flyback and Retrograde add a second layer of disruption
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan in the export; any sideboarding is unverifiable from this evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Xyz plan: the archetype core group has about 97% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and the three-copy Time Thief Xyz starters each show roughly 24% per opening hand, so a live engine on turn 1 or 2 is common but not guaranteed. Interaction density is high (34 removal-text cards, 7 hand traps, Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster), which earns the endboard and going-second scores, and recursion through Bezel Ship and Winder supports resilience. The score is held back by a fragmented main deck (only 9.7% exact-name Performage purity, spread across Time Thief, Raidraptor, Phantom Knights, Lswarm, Gusto, Blackwing and Harpie), by many one-of situational cards that raise brick risk, by the absence of any side deck, and by the absence of recorded combos, so floor and median output are inferred rather than observed. Popularity and usage stats were not credited, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from consistency, interaction, and extra-deck coverage read together on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-4); No side deck (-2); Limited staples in-format (-1); Interaction and recursion density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(meta-neutral, D13 dropped and renormalised over 95) + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-5); Meta provisional

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

• Dense interaction: 34 removal-text cards and 7 hand traps spread across hand, field and GY
• Recursion engine (Bezel Ship, Winder, Raider's Wing, Trick Clown) rebuilds after disruption
• Full Extra Deck use with several high-ATK Xyz closers
• Legal in OCG with all Limited cards at one copy

Weaknesses

• Fragmented archetype identity; only 9.7% exact-name Performage purity
• Many one-of situational cards with no side deck to adapt
• No recorded combo or win-rate data to confirm the floor
• Cross-archetype Xyz compete for limited Xyz material

Critical choke points

• Rank 4 Xyz on field is required for most Time Thief lines; losing it to a single removal or Crackdown-style effect stalls the turn
• Single-copy Raigeki and Feather Duster are the only full-board or full-S/T answers outside Cyclone
• Limited cards (Monster Reborn, Instant Fusion) are one-copy and cannot be recovered once used

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57 and Extra 15 counts match the copy histogram; All restricted cards are Limited at one copy and legal in OCG; Usage-stat archetype core list in the export; Probabilities for 3-copy and 2-copy starters
• Inferred: Toolbox classification from card-text role hints and mixed Xyz composition; Engine consistency and brick estimates; Interaction and recursion quality from card text; Going-first and going-second power components
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample; tournament data absent)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent usage statistics join is inconsistent: Time Thief Redoer (2 copies), Time Thief Perpetua, Daigusto Emeral, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Sakra Vendirage, Eclipse Twins, Raider's Knight, Gagagaga Magician and Utopic Future are in the Extra list but flagged in this deck=false with copies_in_deck=0, so core-card presence=60 is not trusted deck title is null no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
