Kewl Tune Deck #773356 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 46/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 3 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/tuner board (Elfnote June Pride, Black Rose Dragon, Kewl Tune RS) and 3000-ATK beaters (Blue-Eyes White Phantom Beast, Nibiru) after the hand-trap layer has protected the turn; Draw-engine attrition from Mulcharmy and Maxx C, with Elfnote Lucina/Tinia as 2500-2400 ATK bodies
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a playable hand with Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle or Ash Blossom plus one tuner; hold Infinite Impermanence or Dominus Impulse for the first activation, then Synchro into June Pride or Black Rose
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's 90% hand-trap density to answer the opponent's first Special Summon or card activation (Ash, Maxx C, Droll, Veiler, Ghost Belle), then rebuild a tuner-plus-non-tuner board from the Elfnote and Mulcharmy draws
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia convert discards into draws, and Ghost Belle or Ash recur from the GY into the next interruption
• After siding: Not supported: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side adjustment is available

Why it scores here

The deck's strength comes from its interaction layer on the system: 14 hand traps and 11 traps give a high chance (about 90% for going-second six-card hands) of holding at least one answer to the opponent's first play, and the Ash, Maxx C, Droll and Veiler mix covers both activations and summons. Its engine is the weak point. Only 6 of 13 usage-standard Kewl Tune core cards are present, and most of the 46 main-deck copies are off-archetype (exact-name purity 6.1%), so the deck gets its engine from a loose tuner and Elfnote/Mulcharmy mix rather than a single coherent Kewl Tune line. Its 14 tuners against 3 Extra Deck Synchro monsters strain both consistency and the non-tuner requirement. Ceiling and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so combo scores are text-only inference. The score rests on the structural read and does not reflect the archetype's popularity or any averaged card scores, and it has no side deck to recover with after a bad matchup.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun primary, Toolbox secondary (roughly 80/20; Toolbox used only to reflect the non-core cards). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Empty side deck (-2); Engine conflict and off-archetype core (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 - 5 ≈ 46

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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

• 14 hand traps plus 11 traps give a dense answer layer; P(>=1 hand trap in going-second 6) ≈ 0.90
• Broad interaction (negation 19, removal 22 text roles) covers summons, activations and end-board
• High-ATK single-copy beaters (3100/3000/2500) convert a protected board
• Mulcharmy draw engine supplies card advantage across the game

Weaknesses

• Engine is split: only 6 of 13 usage-core Kewl Tune cards present, exact-name purity 6.1%
• Only 3 Synchro Extra Deck monsters against 14 tuners, which limits the non-tuner requirement and Extra Deck redundancy
• Empty side deck: no post-side adaptation and D12 is 10
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are text-only estimates

Critical choke points

• Only 3 Synchro Extra Deck monsters; losing June Pride or Black Rose Dragon to a single removal or hand trap removes most of the board plan
• Interaction-first hands with no non-tuner (14 tuners vs 3 Synchro Extra Deck monsters) can stall the T2 board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 46 main, 3 extra, 0 side within OCG size rules (40-60, 0-15); All restricted cards within legal copy limits (Limited 1, Semi-Limited 2); Archetype purity 6.1% exact-name; Kewl Tune core present 6/13; 14 hand traps, 14 tuners, 3 Synchro Extra Deck monsters, empty side deck
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick rate from hypergeometric estimates and tuner density; Going-second interaction value from hand-trap probability ≈ 0.90; Ceiling and median output from card text only (no recorded boards)
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated meta sample; D13 matchup and format fit is a neutral provisional 50
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Empty side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed
