Train Deck #773362 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 48 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz boss summons (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Juggernaut Liebe, Flying Launcher, Gustav Max) backed by EARTH Machine searches and Level 10 bosses (Inferred from card text and copy counts); Direct-damage and negation-supported boss pressure from Machina Ruinforce and Machina Citadel (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Exceptional Schedule, Night Train Blue Traveler or Machina Redeployment toward a Level 10 boss, then Extra Deck summon (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Ogre to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through GY recursion of Train and Machina monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers (23 copies) and GY recursion (Night Train, Infinitrack Tunneller, Super Express Bullet Train) rebuild a hand after disruption (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a limit of 2 and Gustav Max runs 2 against a limit of 1, so the normal Final formula is suppressed and the 30 is a capped, theoretical-only figure. Structurally the deck reliably opens a searcher (P(>=1 searcher in a 5-card hand) is about 0.97) and has a cohesive EARTH Machine core, with 7 hand traps and 15 removal-text cards giving layered interaction. Its weaknesses are a low archetype purity of 31.7%, with Machina, Infinitrack, Mulcharmy (WIND, off-type) and other sub-archetypes diluting the Train engine, plus no side deck. No recorded boards or meta-share exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-based inferences. The score was built from the system's consistency, interaction and boss pressure, not from averaging card scores, and popularity was not credited.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula suppressed; capped at 30 (theoretical/structural only). Uncapped reference: 0.80*Structural(60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) - 12 banlist modifier = about 45, not reported as Final.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 (23 copies) makes the engine nearly always live (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps, 11 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards (Verified text)
• Boss pressure at Level 10 and Rank 10 with high ATK (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Gustav Max (Verified)
• Low archetype purity of 31.7% with several sub-archetypes (Verified)
• No side deck (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so floor and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Gustav Max (Limited, 2 copies) is a key Extra Deck boss; the deck is unplayable as listed until it is cut to 1 (Verified)
• Summons that need Level 10 Machine monsters in GY depend on a small pool of Train monsters (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom 3 vs 2 legal copies, Gustav Max 2 vs 1 legal copies; Main 48, Extra 15, Side 0 counts and size rules; Card text and stats from the evidence pack; Archetype purity 31.7 percent
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5) about 0.97 and core-open about 0.93; Structural weighting and dimension scores; Going-first and going-second plans from text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13), no dated sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: Illegal list: copy counts must be corrected before a normal score applies no combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and match record are absent no side deck registered, so no post-side evidence no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN
