Evol Deck #772934 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dinosaur fusion/synchro/link pressure (GMX - COMPREX, GMX - ALLOS, GMX - VELOX, Jurrac Astero, Raging Phoenix) once the GMX/Dinosaur engine is online; Attrition through hand traps and end-board negates (Solemn Judgment, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster) while the Extra Deck materials are rebuilt
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon GMX Researcher Selande or Mulcharmy/Ghost Ogre defence, search a GMX card with Selande, Returned Dino Daneen or Fossil Dig, then Fusion or Synchro into a board-presence Dinosaur
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence and Evenly Matched to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then rebuild the GMX board from the GY and the searchers
• Recovery: Returned Dino Daneen and the GY/banish-based Dinosaur effects (Jurrac Astero, GMX 55th Experiment Report) re-enable Fusion/Synchro after a single answer; Mulcharmy draws help refill the hand
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens the GMX/Dinosaur core: the archetype-core group gives P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.97 and the searcher text group about 0.81, so the engine is accessible on paper (Inferred). Its real strength is end-board interaction and layered negates: Solemn Judgment, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Evenly Matched, Forbidden Droplet, Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre give several answers per turn cycle. Conversion is credited from card text only, since no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling (GMX - COMPREX 3700 ATK, GMX - ALLOS 3000 ATK) and the median are both Inferred, and the median is scored lower than the ceiling. The score is not driven by Evol's popularity or by averaging individual card scores; it is capped because the list is over the Ash Blossom copy limit, runs no Side Deck, and has a 16-hand-trap, 24-tech main deck that carries a real brick risk. Because the list is Illegal, the result is a theoretical/structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Banlist / copy-limit exposure (-6); No side deck (-4); Illegal-deck cap (-9). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(56.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 54.5; context modifiers -10 = 44.5; Illegal-deck cap applied -> 35 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Layered negates and hand traps give several answers per turn cycle
• The GMX/Dinosaur searcher network (Selande, Daneen, Kimridge, Partner Selandea) gives redundancy on the engine
• The Extra Deck covers Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link end-boards at 2700-3700 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: Ash Blossom at 3 copies exceeds the limit of 2
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• High hand-trap and tech density raises the risk of dead cards in hand
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• The Dinosaur material requirement for Fusion and Synchro summons
• The single Returned Dino Daneen and the GMX searchers as the engine's source of access
• The over-limit Ash Blossom, which must be cut to make the list legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom at 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited) is an over-limit violation; 7 Limited cards run at 1 copy each, which is within limit; Archetype-core and searcher probabilities from the hypergeometric table
• Inferred: D1 consistency from hypergeometric probabilities; D2 brick rate from hand-trap and tech density; D3 ceiling and D4 median from card text; D5 route redundancy from negate and searcher density
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup/format fit: no dated metagame sample
• 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; going-first/second and matchup rates are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed
