Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Xyz Summon Shark-engine Xyz monsters (Number 32: Shark Drake, Number C32: Shark Drake LeVeiss, Stealth Kragen) and convert board advantage through their attacks and destruction effects.; Hand-trap and spell/trap removal chains (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Dominus Impulse) that clear the opponent's board before attacking.
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open with Shark starters (Surfacing Big Jaws, Buzzsaw Shark, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) and search Drake Shark or Hydrojet Shark, then build an Xyz with the Extra Deck boss.
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to disrupt the opponent's first summons, then Xyz Summon once the board is stable.
  • Recovery: Recover with Seventh Ascension, Reincarnation Unveiling Mail and Virtue Stream, and rebuild through Xyz materials and Shark searchers.
  • After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck cannot legally swap cards while it carries three copies of limited cards.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens Shark starters and has enough searchers to reach an Xyz on turn 2 or 3 in most hands, which supports a moderate engine-access score. Its seven hand traps and several spell/trap removal cards give it a fair interruption and end-board profile for a Midrange shell. Its ceiling is limited by the absence of any recorded combos and by the lack of a Side Deck, so the floor and median sit below the structural read. The score is capped because the list is illegal in OCG: three cards exceed their copy limits, so the rubric's structural-only path applies. Popularity of the Shark archetype did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 60 Archetype core present in 96.6% of 5-card openings; 3-copy starters hit a single copy in 25.3% of openers (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 48 Seven hand traps and 14 searcher-text cards help, but 17 singletons and tech slots create conflicting openers (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 45 No parseable combo boards; ceiling read is text-only with a Xyz-based route (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 40 No combo evidence supplied, so median output is estimated from text only (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 62 Seven hand traps plus recursion (Reincarnation Unveiling Mail, Virtue Stream) give a second route after one interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 50 Seventh Ascension and Virtue Stream recur cards, but the Xyz-material economy has no measured resource data (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster and Dominus Impulse give layered spell/trap interaction, though Dominus Impulse is over-limit (Verified text, Inferred strength)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 58 Hand traps and Ash Blossom answer going-second plays; no going-second split data (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 62 Number 32 (2800 ATK) and Number C32 (3100 ATK) provide closing power as Xyz bosses (Verified stat, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 52 55 main-deck cards with 32 distinct, a reasonable balance for OCG; over-limit copies are scored in legality, not here (Verified count)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 55 Extra Deck of 15 with 13 distinct cards gives broad Xyz coverage; some slots depend on a single Shark path (Verified count, Inferred use)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No Side Deck is registered, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 45 No tournament link or dated meta sample; matchup fit is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Multi-step Xyz lines with many hand-trap timing decisions are demanding for an average pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, mixed 75/25 as a judgement. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: structural-only path. Raw 0.80*51.6 + 0.20*40 = 49.3, then modifiers -11 and illegal cap to 35

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 Shark and Xyz engine with high archetype-core coverage
  • Layered hand-trap and spell/trap interaction (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Lightning Storm)
  • Strong Xyz bosses at the Extra Deck level

Weaknesses

  • Illegal in OCG: three cards over copy limits
  • No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
  • No combo evidence and no tournament data, so the score is structural only

Critical choke points

  • Shark starter draw on turn 1 (about 25% per 3-copy starter)
  • Single Extra Deck Xyz boss dependency
  • Legal copy fix required before any normal score can be given
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 One copy each of Seventh Tachyon, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, and Dominus Impulse (one copy of Seventh Tachyon and one of Dominus Impulse at minimum) Use the legal limit: at most 1 Seventh Tachyon, 2 Ash Blossom, 2 Dominus Impulse; replace the excess with a playable Shark or Xyz card The deck is illegal in OCG; it cannot receive a normal score until the copy limits are met
2 A tech slot such as Harpie's Feather Duster or Foolish Burial A Side Deck of 5 to 10 cards Side count is 0; a Side Deck gives the deck a post-side plan for best-of-3

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: OCG Illegal: Seventh Tachyon x3 (limit 1), Ash Blossom x3 (limit 2), Dominus Impulse x3 (limit 2); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; main and extra counts are within size rules; Super Polymerization x2 is within its limit of 2
  • Inferred: Starter access about 25% per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric); Interaction density from card text and hand-trap count; Going-second hand-trap value from count and text
  • Provisional: Meta power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit is unscored without a dated meta
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo 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 in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered for the deck
