P.U.N.K. Deck #772888 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck P.U.N.K. and Gold Pride Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link monsters, with boss-level ATK (Pin Baller 3000, Amazing Dragon 3000, Eradicator 2700, Dragon Drive 2700), converting board presence into attacks and removal.; Gold Pride Star Leon and Nytro Blaster removal-on-summon lines, plus hand-trap and removal disruption that keeps the opponent from establishing a board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a P.U.N.K. or Gold Pride starter (Ze Amin, Leon, Foxy Tune, Rising Scale) and extend through Emergency Teleport or Ogre Dance into a Fusion, Synchro or Xyz boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand traps against the opponent's first summon chain, then use the Extra Deck boss on the following turn.
• Recovery: Gold Pride and P.U.N.K. recursion (Ze Amin, Foxy Tune, Deer Note, Wa Gon search, Madame Spider, JAM Extreme Session banish-from-GY special summon) rebuilds a board from the GY after an interruption.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no recorded post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a P.U.N.K. or Gold Pride starter: the archetype core group is about 0.94 likely to have at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its Extra Deck covers Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link access, and several boss monsters sit around 2700 to 3000 ATK, which gives a credible closing threat once a board is established. Interaction is the strongest system component: nine hand traps, ten negation-text cards and fourteen removal-text cards let it contest an opponent's first summon chain and clear a board. Two structural weaknesses hold the score down. Exact-name archetype purity is only 34% (22 of 65 non-Extra copies), since 21 Gold Pride and 21 generic cards are interleaved with the P.U.N.K. core, which dilutes engine coherence. The deck also has no side deck and no combo or tournament data, so the floor, median, and post-side scores are estimates. Legality caps the final score: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two. The score was not derived from P.U.N.K. being a popular archetype, and it was not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure / over copy limit (-12). Final formula: Formula (0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability) = 0.80*55 + 0.20*45 = 53, then -12 legality/banlist modifier = 41, then capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (over copy limit on Ash Blossom). Structural-only reading; Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Reliable access to the P.U.N.K. and Gold Pride engine from the opening hand (about 0.94 for the archetype core)
• Dense interaction across hand traps, negation text and removal text
• Broad Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs limit 2)
• Low exact-name archetype purity (34%) across two competing sub-archetypes (P.U.N.K. and Gold Pride)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo, tournament or win-rate data to confirm the ceiling or floor

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over the copy limit must be cut to 2 copies before the deck is playable in OCG
• Single-copy bosses (Ukiyoe Amazing Dragon and Gold Pride Star Leon) are not doubled, so losing them removes that line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (OCG); Main Deck 51 and Extra Deck 14 are within OCG size limits; Side deck is 0 cards
• Observed: Archetype core group 21 copies with about 0.94 hypergeometric opening presence; Exact-name purity 33.8% (22 of 65 non-Extra copies)
• Inferred: Midrange primary strategy from the hand-trap and removal density plus Extra Deck engine; Dimension scores D1 to D11 derived from card text and hypergeometric draw estimates; Going-second hand-trap coverage of about 0.71
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because there is no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup and format fit is provisional
• Data gaps: No recorded combo boards (combo data.total combos = 0); floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick rate) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck is Illegal as submitted; the score is capped low and is structural-only
