Snake-Eyes Deck #772942 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King and Snake-Eye boards: Snake-Eye Flamberge Dragon, Garunix and Garunix Eternity, and Link-based closing through the Extra Deck; Jurrac Meteor / Jurrac Astero synchro boards and Worldsea Dragon Zealantis
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Fire King Kirin, Snake-Eye Ash, Diabellstar, Fossil Dig or Ulcanix), search an engine piece, and build a Link or Synchro board; no evidence of a verified turn-1 sequence
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird against the opponent's first search or summon, and negate-capable Fire King monsters to protect the engine; no evidence of a verified going-second line
• Recovery: Recover through Snake-Eye and Fire King GY effects and searchers (18 searcher-text cards); recursion text is present but unverified in recorded boards
• After siding: Not assessable: side_count is 0, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal: Ash Blossom is run 3 copies against a limit of 2, WANTED is run 2 copies against a limit of 1, and Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye is a Forbidden card, so the deck is scored on structure only and capped at 30. The structural read comes from four overlapping engines (Fire King, Snake-Eye, Diabellstar, Jurrac) plus 18 searcher-text cards, which gives a 0.96 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 and some resilience through Ash and Droll. The starter draw probability is weak: a single 3-copy starter appears in only 33.8% of 5-card openings, the archetype core is 42.9% present, and no combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. The score does not come from popularity or from averaging card powers; it reflects the system's conflicting engines (40 main-deck slots spread across four archetype families with 0% exact-name purity) and the absence of any side deck. Meta power is provisional and was not used.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary disclosed, not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 44.8; + modifiers (-12) = 32.8; Illegal cap applied -> 30; Meta provisional; theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• 18 searcher-text cards give repeatable access to engine pieces
• Layered interaction: 3 Ash Blossom, 1 Droll & Lock Bird, negate-capable Fire King monsters
• Strong closing bodies on paper: Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon, Garunix, Garunix Eternity, Zealantis

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 copy-limit violations plus a Forbidden card
• No side deck (side_count = 0)
• Four archetype families with 0% exact-name purity; engines may conflict
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye is Forbidden and must be removed before the deck is playable
• Starter density: a 3-copy starter appears in only about a third of 5-card openings

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, WANTED, Original Sinful Spoils), 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; Banlist statuses for the 9 restricted cards; Per-card hypergeometric draw odds (5-card and 6-card hands); Archetype core 42.9% present (usage stats)
• Inferred: Starter reliability and brick rate (hypergeometric plus text reading); Interaction layering from card text (Ash, Droll, Fire King negators); Closing power from ATK and Link ratings; Going-second hand-trap coverage (about 49% in a 6-card hand)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup 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 exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed list is illegal, so consistency numbers describe a deck that cannot currently be played
