Materiactor Deck #773201 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank 3 Xyz bootstrap from Level 3 Phantom Knights and Goblin monsters, converted into Rank 3/4 Xyz boards (Break Sword, Malevolent Scythe, Dark Rebellion, Ray Lancer) that pressure with 2000-2500 ATK; Hand-trap and spell/trap interaction (Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Materiactor Critical, Fog Blade, Forbidden Chalice, Cosmic Cyclone) grinding the opponent's board until the Xyz line converts
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 3 Phantom Knights or Goblin monster, use a second Level 3 monster to Xyz Summon a Rank 3 Xyz (Break Sword or Malevolent Scythe), then use Fog Blade or Chalice to clear the opponent's first threat
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ghost Ogre or Skull Meister as hand traps against the opponent's first Spell, Trap or monster effect, then rebuild a Rank 3 Xyz from the Level 3 monsters that remain
• Recovery: Phantom Knights GY effects (Ancient Cloak, Silent Boots, Doomed Soleret, Requiem) and Goblin Biker Dugg Charger recycle searchable monsters and Spells/Traps from the Deck to rebuild the Xyz line
• After siding: Not applicable: the Side Deck is empty, so the deck cannot adapt between games of a best-of-3 match

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency comes from its Phantom Knights core (17 of 40 Main Deck cards, 42%) and its 21 Level 3 Main Deck monsters, which make a Rank 3 Xyz bootstrap likely in both going-first and going-second hands (about 0.86 and 0.93 respectively, Inferred). Interaction is real but reactive: 6 hand-trap copies, 13 negation-text copies and 2 Cosmic Cyclone plus 2 Fog Blade give it layered answers. The score is held down by the Extra Deck, where roughly 4 of 15 Xyz (Dark Requiem, Arc Rebellion, Dark Knight Lancer, Ophion) need Level 5, Level 7 or Lswarm materials the list does not run, and by the empty Side Deck, which gives no post-side plan. The Materiactor name is not what drives the deck: only 3 cards are exact Materiactor (5.5% purity), and the scoring reflects the Phantom Knights system, not the archetype's popularity or an average of card scores. No recorded boards or win-rate data exist, so the floor and median are inferred from text only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary not blended into the weights (weights taken from the Midrange profile only). Structural ≈ 54.8, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Dead or near-dead Extra Deck cards (-3); Archetype mismatch (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, null): 0.80*54.8 + 0.20*48 - 5 = 48.4, rounded to 48

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Phantom Knights core of 17 Main Deck cards gives a consistent, repeated Level 3 monster base
• 21 Level 3 Main monsters make the Rank 3 Xyz bootstrap reliable in going-first and going-second hands
• 13 negation-text copies, 6 hand-trap copies and 2 Fog Blade provide layered interaction
• Multiple GY and banish recursion routes (Ancient Cloak, Silent Boots, Doomed Soleret, Requiem) give resilience after disruption

Weaknesses

• Four Extra Deck Xyz lack realistic materials in this list
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Materiactor identity is thin (3 cards); the deck is really Phantom Knights plus Goblin
• Closing power is capped near 2000-2500 ATK, and the 3000 ATK Xyz are not reliably summonable
• Several interaction cards (Forbidden Chalice, Fog Blade, Cosmic Cyclone) are reactive and cost tempo

Critical choke points

• Skull Meister and Ghost Ogre are dead in hand without a trigger, so an opening hand of only hand traps stalls the first Xyz
• A Rank 3 Xyz needs two Level 3 monsters on the field; the opponent clearing the first summoned monster can stop the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0: legal size for the OCG format (size_rules 40-60 main, 0-15 extra); All distinct cards are Unlimited; no banlist violations; Copy histogram 10 singles, 3 doubles, 8 triples; Guide 1085 says the deck is currently weak against the meta and is played for fun
• Inferred: P(>=1 Phantom Knights Main monster in 5) ~0.85 and P(>=2 Level 3 Main monsters in 5) ~0.86 (going first), ~0.93 (going second); Four Extra Deck Xyz (Dark Requiem, Arc Rebellion, Dark Knight Lancer, Ophion) are not summonable from realistic materials; Interaction density is high on paper (13 negation-text copies, 6 hand traps), but its quality is a semantic read of card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup fit (D13) is based only on the guide's qualitative statement
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates); those signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
