Performapal Deck #773027 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Summon into Extra Deck boss monsters such as Supreme King Z-ARC, Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon, Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, and Chaos Angel (card text; not verified by recorded boards); Link, Xyz, and Synchro bosses (Odd-Eyes Override Dragon, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Accesscode Talker) that also carry negation text (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Pendulum scales and Pendulum monsters, Pendulum Summon, and use search effects (Performapal Monkeyboard, Skullcrobat Joker, Butler, Gentrude) to reach the Extra Deck bosses (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, and negation-capable monsters to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Pendulum Summons and Extra Deck bosses (Inferred)
• Recovery: Re-place scales via Astrograph Sorcerer and Horoscope Sorcerer, Odd-Eyes Seer recursion from the GY, and Mulcharmy draw effects when the hand is empty (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Pendulum starter: 24 searcher-text cards give about 98% odds of at least one search effect in a 5-card opener, and the 13-card Odd-Eyes/Performapal core gives about 82% odds of at least one core card (Inferred from the hypergeometric table). Its Extra Deck supplies several high-ATK closers (Z-ARC, Arcray, Absolute, Chaos Angel), and its negation text across Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Override Dragon and Clear Wing gives layered interaction. Points were earned from the system: engine density, interaction breadth and closing power, not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity. Floor and median output get no real credit because no recorded boards exist, and the deck loses points for having no side deck and a 9.7% exact-archetype purity that spreads across several sub-archetypes.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Engine spread across sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density (24 search-text cards) makes the engine reliably reachable
• Layered negation across Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Override Dragon, Clear Wing, Z-ARC and Accesscode Talker
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers across Fusion, Link, Xyz and Synchro

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Pendulum-heavy main (28 Pendulum monsters) risks hands that need a scale pair
• Exact archetype purity is 9.7%, so the engine spreads across sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Two Pendulum scales in hand or zone are needed for most lines
• Single copies of Limited cards (Astrograph Sorcerer, Droll & Lock Bird, S:P Little Knight) limit redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal in OCG: 47 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts respected; Composition: 28 Pendulum monsters in Main; Extra split Fusion 5, Link 6, Xyz 2, Synchro 2; Archetype purity is 9.7% exact name; 16 Odd-Eyes and 10 Magician-linked cards; Archetype stats available: 17 rows; 6 of 15 core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric odds (0.98 searcher, 0.82 core); Negation and removal coverage from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from card text and hand-trap odds
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link; Post-side performance: no side deck to evaluate
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No guides attached for the archetype
