Gizmek Deck #773085 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck link and fusion beatsticks (Borrelend Dragon, Naturia Exterio, The Last Warrior from Another Planet) reached through a Gizmek Orochi or Gren Maju opening, with Blue-Eyes White Dragon as a secondary body; Blue-Eyes White Dragon 3000 ATK via Rage with Eyes of Blue, if the Blue-Eyes line is live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Gizmek Orochi or Gren Maju starter (about 25 percent each in a 5-card hand, Inferred), use Orochi's banish cost to remove a threat and extend through Extra-Deck link or fusion summons. Hand traps are held for the opponent's first summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C, or Droll and Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first summon or search (about 38 percent that at least one of the 4 hand traps is in a 6-card hand, Inferred), then rebuild through Gizmek Orochi or Gren Maju.
• Recovery: Recover through Pot of Desires, Pot of Extravagance, Pot of Prosperity and Banquet of Millions, all of which consume Extra-Deck cards, then re-summon from the Graveyard through Linkuriboh or Eater of Millions. Extra-Deck resource cost is the real limit here.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan. This is a legal-size OCG shell but it is unadaptable as submitted.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Consistency is limited: the two real engine starters (Gizmek Orochi and Gren Maju, 3 copies each) each have about a 25 percent chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the main deck is spread over at least 4 unrelated sub-archetypes (Blue-Eyes, Greed, Maju, Kaiju, Naturia, Fiendsmith and Kuriboh). Interaction is the strongest part of the list: four hand traps, about 12 negation-text cards and about 34 removal-text cards (Inferred from text, not verified in play). Closing power comes from several 2400 to 3500 ATK Extra-Deck bodies. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats confirm the Gizmek core is real, but they do not make this list strong. The list is Illegal (Forbidden Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo x3, Linkuriboh x3 against a limit of 1), so it is capped and the score is structural and theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox profile; primary strategy unclear so balanced used as cross-check. Structural ≈ 44.1, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical/structural-only. Base 0.80*Structural(44.1) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.3, then modifiers (-12) = 30.3, rounded to 30. Not a normal Final Contextual score.

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

• Strong interaction count: 4 hand traps, about 12 negation-text and about 34 removal-text cards (Inferred from text)
• Real Extra-Deck closing power: Borrelend Dragon 3500, Naturia Exterio 2800, The Last Warrior from Another Planet 2350 (verified stats)
• Legal copy-limit errors are the only blockers to a normal score; the 55 Main Deck and 15 Extra Deck sizes are within the OCG range (verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo x3 and Linkuriboh x3 over the Limited limit (verified)
• Engine is diffuse: 4 unrelated sub-archetypes with 70 off-archetype copies (verified)
• Two engine starters at about 25 percent each in a 5-card hand; no reliable combined starter (Inferred)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability (verified)

Critical choke points

• Gizmek Orochi and Gren Maju are the only archetype-named starters; missing both in the opening hand leaves few live lines (Inferred)
• Extra-Deck resource costs (Pot cards, Banquet, Gordian Slicer, Eater of Millions) can exhaust the Extra Deck before the win is secured (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo Forbidden, run 3 copies; Linkuriboh run 3 copies with legal_copies 1 (over limit); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; size within OCG rules; Card stats and banlist statuses from evidence
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter odds (0.2529 per 3-copy card in hand 5; 0.3788 for hand traps in hand 6); Interaction and closing power read from card text; Hand-trap odds and going-second plan; Engine conflict and Extra-Deck resource cost read
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated meta sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (combos_evidence total_combos 0): combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and pilot match record absent No win-rate or matchup telemetry in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Gizmek Orochi archetype field is null in card data while the deck archetype is Gizmek; purity figures may understate coherence
