Frog Deck #773128 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• 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: Board-based Synchro/Link pressure (Lancea, Trishula, Graydle Dragon, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis) after Swap Frog or Ice Barrier starts; no recorded combo evidence to confirm the line.; Hand-trap and negation-driven tempo that trades 1-for-1 and lets Extra Deck monsters take the board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Swap Frog or an Ice Barrier starter with Revealer/Medallion, use Pot of Sloth or Mulcharmy draw to find a Synchro/Link; hold Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse only as far as the 2-copy limit allows.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand-trap density (12 hand traps and negations) to stop the opponent's first summon or Synchro, then rebuild with Icejade/Ice Barrier summons.
• Recovery: Recover via Foolish Burial Goods, Mulcharmy draw effects and Freezing Chains of the Ice Barrier to regain Ice Barrier monsters from the GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The deck scores low because it is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are each run 3 times against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, which caps the result and keeps this evaluation theoretical. Structurally, the list has real interaction density (12 hand traps and negations, 15 removal-text cards) and a solid going-second hand-trap hit rate of about 0.79 for a 6-card hand (Inferred). Its engine is comparatively fragile: Swap Frog is the only 3-copy starter with about a 0.25 chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype core group reaches only about 0.32 (Inferred). No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates, and no Side Deck is registered. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; the score comes from the system-level read of consistency, interaction, and legality, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal: copy-limit violations and banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*45 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 32 (Meta provisional; Illegal, so theoretical/structural-only)

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 interaction: 12 hand traps/negations and 15 removal-text cards
• Good going-second hand-trap density (~0.79 for at least one in a 6-card hand, Inferred)
• Full Extra Deck coverage with 11 Synchro and 4 Link monsters
• Real Ice Barrier/Frog archetype support across the Main Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse against a limit of 2
• Low starter access: Swap Frog is only ~0.25 to appear in a 5-card opening hand
• No Side Deck registered
• Weak archetype purity: only 3 exact-name Frog cards; 67 off-archetype copies

Critical choke points

• Swap Frog (3 copies, ~0.25 in opening hand) is the main engine starter with no reliable alternative
• Synchro/Link boss access depends on Tuner availability and Ice Barrier summons

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 cards, Extra Deck 15 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse exceed the Semi-Limited limit of 2 (3 copies each); Lancea and the 13 other single-copy Extra Deck cards are listed in the evidence; Usage statistics show Swap Frog at 100% inclusion (3 copies)
• Observed: No combo boards recorded; combos evidence is empty
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter odds: P(Swap Frog in 5-card hand) ~0.25; archetype core ~0.32; hand-trap in 6-card hand ~0.79; Interaction density is high based on hand-trap, negation and removal text flags; Going-second advantage from hand-trap density; Board-breaking and closing ability from Synchro/Link monster stats and card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and format fit (D13) because no dated metagame sample or tournament link exists
• 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 win-rate telemetry: brick, starter and going-first/second rates are inferred only no Side Deck registered (side_count 0): post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
