Time Thief Deck #772749 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz beatdown from Time Thief Xyz monsters (Perpetua, Redoer, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Number F0 Utopic Draco Future) fed by Time Thief and off-archetype monsters; Board breaking with Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crackdown and Cosmic Cyclone, then rebuilding through Xyz summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Time Thief starter or Time Thief Startup, search with Time Thief Winder or Phantom Knights of Silent Boots, then Xyz Summon a Time Thief Xyz monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (D.D. Crow, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Artifact Lancea, Performage Damage Juggler) and Raigeki or Harpie's Feather Duster to clear the opposing board, then rebuild Xyz
• Recovery: Time Thief Flyback and Time Thief Startup recover from the GY, with Raider's Wing and Raidraptor - Singing Lanius supplying extra bodies
• After siding: No side deck appears in the export (side_count 0); post-side plan cannot be evaluated and is a data gap

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a 57-card Main Deck built around a Time Thief Xyz engine, with 14 tech cards, 7 searchers, 7 hand traps and 34 removal-text cards, rather than as an average of its cards. Starter access is moderate: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.49 and Time Thief Startup has only 2 copies, so the engine is often not live on turn 1 (Inferred). Interaction is dense (Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crackdown, Cosmic Cyclone, plus hand traps), which supports board-breaking and going-second play, but the list spreads across Time Thief, Performage, Raidraptor, Phantom Knights, Lswarm and D.D. at only 25% exact-name purity, which lowers consistency and creates engine conflicts. No combos or win-rate data were supplied, so combo floor and ceiling are not measurable and the score rests on structure and inference. Popularity was not credited: archetype usage stats conflict with the card list and no tournament link exists, so meta power is null and the deck has no side deck to support a post-side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 50.3, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-3); No side deck in export (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-5); Meta provisional = 0.80*50.3 + 0.20*40 - 5 = 43.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.49 · 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: Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crackdown, Cosmic Cyclone and 7 hand traps
• Flexible Extra Deck with 13 Xyz and multiple recursion routes
• Real Time Thief engine cards at 3 copies each (Winder, Regulator, Bezel Ship)

Weaknesses

• Low exact-archetype purity (25%) with several sub-archetypes competing for slots
• High tech count (14) increases dead-card risk
• No side deck in the export

Critical choke points

• Time Thief Startup (2 copies) and the searcher package determine whether the Xyz engine goes live
• Hand-trap density depends on going second; going first has fewer interaction answers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status with 57 main and 15 extra cards, all copy limits respected; Card stats and text from resolved card data; Archetype purity 25% and sub-archetype spread from composition
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and hand-trap probabilities; Interaction density and board-breaking read from text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample); Post-side plan and side adaptability (no side deck); Tournament reliability (no tournament link or win-rate telemetry)
• 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 side deck in export (side_count 0); post-side plan unevaluable usage_statistics marks Time Thief Redoer and Eclipse Twins as not in this deck, but cards[] lists Redoer x2 and Eclipse Twins x1 in the Extra Deck; the 33% core-presence figure is therefore not trusted no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
