Unchained Deck #772838 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Unchained Link and Fusion boards that pressure through the Unchained Soul / Abomination line, with hand traps protecting the engine during the opponent's turn.; Fusion Summon via Super Polymerization into a Fusion boss (Starving Venom, Mudragon), or Link beats from Unchained Soul of Rage / Anguish.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a self-contained Unchained starter (Abomination's Prison or Abominable Chamber) to search or Special Summon an Unchained monster, then pivot to Link Summon through the Unchained Soul Lord of Yama and Unchained Soul of Rage.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold up Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Effect Veiler to blank the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the Unchained board with Escape of the Unchained or the Soul monsters.
• Recovery: Re-summon through the GY (Unchained Twins Sarama/Aruha, Abominable Chamber's GY Special Summon) and Link Summon again from the extra deck.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan to score.

Why it scores here

The Unchained build reliably opens a live hand-trap layer: 15 hand-trap cards give an estimated 0.87 chance of at least one going second (Inferred), and Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle/Ghost Ogre cover the opponent's first engine. Its conversion into pressure relies on the Unchained Soul line and the Link Monsters in the Extra Deck, but the archetype core is only partly present (5 of 17 usage-core cards, 29%), and 63% of Main Deck copies sit outside the Unchained name, so the engine is less coherent than its size suggests. There are no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and the deck has no Side Deck, so adaptability scores near the floor. The list is Illegal: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, which caps the Final score as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Stun (secondary weights not used in the final score). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Theoretical only (deck Illegal): 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.4, then context modifiers -12 = 34; no normal Final Contextual score is issued for an Illegal list

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• 15 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards give strong going-second interaction (Inferred)
• Three Link-line Extra Deck options (Unchained Soul of Rage, Anguish, Lord of Yama) provide multiple summon routes (Verified composition)
• Recursion via the GY Unchained effects helps recover after a disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Deck is Illegal: two cards run over their OCG copy limit (Verified)
• Only 26 of 55 Main Deck copies use the Unchained name, so the engine is diluted (Verified)
• No Side Deck (Verified)
• No recorded combos, so the power ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Unchained Soul core (P open >=1 in hand 5 ≈ 0.61): the Link engine stalls without it
• Super Polymerization and Ash Blossom are over the limit, so the list cannot be played as-is

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Illegal status: Super Polymerization 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Limited: Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight at 1 copy each (within limit); Composition: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; 37.1% exact archetype purity; Usage core: 5 of 17 present (29.4%)
• Inferred: Hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.87 going second; Archetype core open P ≈ 0.61; Unchained engine consistency rated at a moderate level; Going-first/second scores and interaction density from card text; Midrange blend for the primary profile
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13) with no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• 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 the export: post-side adaptability unmeasurable No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power provisional: no dated metagame sample
