Gaia Deck #773157 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• 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: Primite / Voiceless Voice / Metalmorph board with Gaia The Fierce Knight and Zoa as large beaters, backed by Ritual and Fusion boss monsters; Fusion and Synchro boss monsters (Cyber Blader, Invoked Purgatrio, The Last Warrior from Another Planet) are absent from the list; Baronne de Fleur and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are the intended Extra-Deck finishers but are Forbidden in OCG and cannot be legally played
• Turn 1 (going first): Pot of Prosperity or Pre-Preparation of Rites to find the Ritual engine, then Metamorphosis, Lo / Saffira / Sauravis Ritual lines and Primite or Metalmorph follow-ups (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx "C", Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first combo, then the same Ritual or Metalmorph engine on a delayed board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Metalmorph and Primite recursion through Max Metalmorph, Incoming Machine! and Metal Illusionist from the GY, plus Barrier of the Voiceless Voice searches (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden in OCG and are each run three times, so the deck receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped low, with this result labelled theoretical and structural-only. The structural read is a Midrange shell built on Primite, Metalmorph and Voiceless Voice searchers and Ritual engines; the hypergeometric searcher-group estimate (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.87, Inferred) supports starter access but says nothing about how often the Ritual or Fusion lines actually convert. Eight hand traps and fifteen negation-text cards give the deck a real interaction layer, which is credited to interaction quality but not to going-second board-breaking. Floor and median output cannot be measured because no combos were recorded, so the scores in those dimensions are text-only inference. The score does not come from Gaia being a popular archetype (usage stats are present but only confirm the core list), and it is not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, shown as one Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); illegal_deck_cap (-8); unrecoverable_extra_dependence (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 45.4; banlist modifier -12 gives 33.4; capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (Forbidden cards over limit). Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• Searcher density (18 text hits) gives high starter access on the going-first hand (Inferred)
• Eight hand traps and fifteen negation-text cards give layered interaction (Inferred)
• Ritual and Metalmorph recursion provides some GY-based resilience (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two Forbidden cards run three copies each
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are text-only inference
• Fifteen Extra-Deck slots hold only five distinct cards, with two of them Forbidden
• Engine spread across three sub-archetypes with no single core

Critical choke points

• Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden in OCG, so the list cannot be played as built
• Ritual engine depends on Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice and its Ritual Spells (Prayers of the Voiceless Voice, Pre-Preparation of Rites)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon x3 and Baronne de Fleur x3 are Forbidden in OCG (legal copies 0); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; sizes are within OCG limits; One passcode (74677422) could not be resolved to a card
• Inferred: Searcher access P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.87; Hand traps and negation text give layered interaction; Ritual and Metalmorph lines provide recursion and conversion, based on card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• 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 1 passcode (74677422) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as main) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown no guides attached for the archetype Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
