Forbidden Deck #773003 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Exodia the Forbidden One / The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate, but only if all five Forbidden One pieces are assembled (Inferred: very unlikely with singleton pieces); Millennium / Blue-Eyes / Egyptian God beatdown and Fusion or Link board presence (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Millennium Ankh, Golem that Guards, or Heart of the Blue-Eyes searches into a Millennium-themed board; no combo evidence supports a specific line (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Strike) and Super Polymerization to disrupt the opponent's board and establish a Fusion or Link follow-up (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recovery depends on Exxod Fires of Rage, Obliterate!!! and Millennium-line recursion from the GY, none of which has recorded board evidence (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted (Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a limit of 2), so it receives a capped structural-only read rather than a normal final score. The Exodia line needs five singleton Forbidden One pieces in hand, which is effectively unreachable in a 53-card main, so its ceiling is not a realistic output. The deck's functional value is in its going-second interaction: three Ash Blossom, three Solemn Strike, and Infinite Impermanence give it a real hand-trap layer, but the Millennium, Blue-Eyes, and Egyptian God bodies are weakly connected to one another and to the Exodia core. No combo boards, no matchup telemetry, and no side deck are available, so the score is built from structure and probability (Inferred), not from recorded results. Archetype popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 35, Going First ≈ 25, Going Second ≈ 33, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 20. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3); unrecoverable choke point (-4); hard-garnet burden (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Illegal cap applied) = 0.80*35.3 + 0.20*20 - 10 = 22.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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

• Six hand traps and 16 negation-text cards give real going-second interaction (Inferred)
• Searcher text on 15 cards supports consistent access to a few key pieces (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom x3, Super Polymerization x3) make the list unplayable as submitted (Verified)
• Exodia win line requires five singleton pieces, which is not realistically reachable (Inferred)
• Heavy off-archetype spread: 68 copies outside the exact Forbidden name, with no clear shared engine (Verified composition)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)

Critical choke points

• All five Forbidden One pieces (Exodia plus four limbs), each a single copy and Limited
• Three copies of Ash Blossom and three of Super Polymerization both exceed the legal limit of 2

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each at 3 copies, limit 2 (legality.violations); Main 53, Extra 15, Side 0; no Side Deck; Limited status on Exodia, Instant Fusion, the four Forbidden One limbs, S:P Little Knight, and Terraforming; Exact-name purity 0%, 68 off-archetype copies; Usage stat: Ash Blossom in 64% of archetype decks, present here
• Observed: Usage statistics show 5 archetype-standard cards with 57-71% inclusion; this deck includes 1 of 5
• Inferred: P(five-piece Exodia in opening 5) on the order of 1 in 2.87 million (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.53 from 6 hand traps; Mostly conditional bodies create brick risk; No consistent engine across the Millennium, Blue-Eyes, Gaia, Exodd, and HERO pieces
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; Format fit (D13) and tournament reliability are provisional without tournament data
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; name is not declared
