Yubel Deck #772968 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yubel boss pressure: Yubel - Terror Incarnate / Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare and the Sacred Beast 10-level bosses (Raviel, Hamon, Uria) at 4000 ATK, with Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (5000 ATK) as an Extra Deck finisher.; Unchained and Phantasm link/fusion pressure from the Extra Deck, with recursion of Yubel monsters through Spirit of Yubel and Eternal Favorite.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Samsara Lotus, Nightmare Throne or Sacred Beasts Thunderclap to reach a Sacred Beast Level 10 search chain, then Special Summon a Yubel or Sacred Beast boss. Card text supports this line; no recorded boards exist to confirm it.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit to answer the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Martyr of the Sacred Beasts and Nightmare Pain. Inferred from card text only.
• Recovery: Recover through Samsara Lotus and Gruesome Grave Squirmer from the GY, and Yubel monsters banished or in the GY through Spirit of Yubel and Eternal Favorite (text-based, Inferred).
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

This list has real engine density: 27 searcher-text cards give a 96.9% chance of at least one searcher in a five-card opening hand (Inferred), and the 18-copy Yubel core gives an 86.9% chance of opening at least one core card. Interaction is strong on paper, with 8 hand traps and 7 negation-text cards that can answer a going-second opponent's first starter. Closing power comes from 4000-ATK Sacred Beast and Yubel bosses plus Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts. The score is held back by the legality failure, the 9.9% exact-archetype purity (the engine is split across Phantasm, Unchained and Yubel sub-archetypes), the absence of any recorded boards, and the absence of a side deck. The score is not driven by Yubel's popularity, and the individual card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist/copy-limit exposure (-12). Final formula: min(35, 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers) = min(35, 51 - 12) — Illegal cap applied; Meta Power provisional/null

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.13 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and engine text (27 cards) gives a high chance of a live starter
• Redundant hand traps and negation text give interruption answers on going second
• High-ATK Sacred Beast and Yubel bosses close the game

Weaknesses

• Two cards exceed the OCG copy limit, so the list is illegal as built
• Exact archetype purity is 9.9%, so the engine is spread across sub-archetypes
• No side deck and no recorded boards to validate any line

Critical choke points

• Sacred Beast Level 10 search chain (Samsara Lotus / Nightmare Throne / Thunderclap)
• Yubel summons that depend on a Sacred Beast or Yubel being on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 56 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed OCG limit of 2; Card text excerpts for Yubel, Sacred Beast and Unchained monsters; Archetype usage: Samsara Lotus 81.25%, Nightmare Throne 68.75%
• Inferred: Starter access ~0.97 (searcher group), core access ~0.87; Brick proxy ~0.13; Hand-trap access ~0.62 on going second
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); D13 matchup fit
• 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 side deck registered; post-side adaptability not measurable no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — brick, matchup and turn-order rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
