Snake-Eyes Deck #772843 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards (Promethean Princess, Garunix Eternity, Amblowhale) built from Fire King and Snake-Eye starters, closed by 3000-ATK monsters; Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon continuous-spell recursion into Fire King / Snake-Eye boards
• Turn 1 (going first): T1 Snake-Eye Oak or Ash into Snake-Eyes Poplar or a Fire King starter, then a Link Summon through the Fire King Island / Sanctuary field presence, protected by Ash Blossom and Solemn in hand
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 6-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild via Fire King Avatar searches
• Recovery: Recycle Snake-Eye and Fire King monsters from GY through Snake-Eye Oak / Poplar and Fire King Island, and re-Link from the remaining field
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its engine is split across Fire King, Snake-Eye and Mulcharmy lines, with 56 Main Deck cards across 29 distinct names and only 7 Snake-Eye copies, so the core starters are present but thin: the archetype core group gives about 55% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is the deck's strongest area, with 11 hand traps, 14 negation texts and 2 Solemn cards giving roughly 75% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred). Combo conversion, floor and median output cannot be measured because no boards were supplied, so those scores rest on card text alone and are low-confidence. The deck is Illegal: Snake-Eye Ash and Ash Blossom exceed their OCG copy limits and a Forbidden card is run, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical/structural only. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and no tournament or meta data supports a meta score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange only; Stun noted from hand-trap density but not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional). Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only; 0.80*45.35 + 0.20*35 = 43.3, less -12 modifiers = 31

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.55 · 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: 11 hand traps, 14 negation texts and 2 Solemn cards
• Two starter families (Fire King and Snake-Eye) give route redundancy
• Extra Deck uses all 15 slots with Link and Xyz closers at 2600-3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 copy-limit or ban violations
• No combo data, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Low exact-archetype purity (0%) with many off-archetype copies
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Only 7 Snake-Eye copies, so the Snake-Eye line depends on a few drawn starters
• Hand-trap-heavy list leaves few proactive cards in some hands

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with 3 violations: Snake-Eye Ash 3/1, Ash Blossom 3/2, Original Sinful Spoils Forbidden 1/0; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0; Main and Extra sizes are within the OCG size rules; Card stats and text as listed in the evidence (e.g., Garunix Eternity 3000 ATK, Flamberge 3000 ATK); Archetype usage: Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon 59.4%, Ash Blossom 59.4%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 56.3%
• Inferred: Core group P(≥1 in 5 cards) ≈ 0.55; Hand-trap P(≥1 in 6 cards, going second) ≈ 0.75; Interaction quality and brick rate from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck supplied — post-side evaluation impossible Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
