Tri-Brigade Deck #773373 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-monster beatdown from Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II (3500 ATK) and Tri-Brigade Shuraig (3000 ATK) (Inferred from card text; no recorded combos); Yummy Synchro/Link board presence and Mulcharmy card-advantage pressure (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Searcher (Toon Table of Contents, Toon Bookmark, Fire Formation - Tenki, Mind Scan line) and try to reach a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro for Yummy summons, while holding Solemn Judgment, Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 8 hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Ghost Ogre x3, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then convert with Link monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Searchers (15 cards) and Mulcharmy draw effects; the Toon and Yummy engines depend on different board states, so recovery is inconsistent (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: four cards exceed their copy limits, including two Forbidden Extra Deck cards, so under the rubric it receives a capped score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. The structural read still finds real interaction density (8 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards, 22 removal-text cards) and strong Link closers, which lift Interruption and End-Board dimensions. Power is held down by a split engine: Toon World needs Toon monsters, Yummy summons need Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro enablers (about 0.25 odds of at least one Link-1 in an opening 5), and Tri-Brigade and Mulcharmy add more conflicting starters, with only 14.3% exact archetype purity. No combos, no tournament context, and no side deck were supplied, so consistency and closing claims are Inferred and the score is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-5). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is null/provisional. Normal formula: 0.80*46 + 0.20*35 = 43.8; modifiers -11 gives ~33 uncapped. Illegal-list cap (rubric Step 2) sets the reported score to 25. Theoretical/structural read 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: 8 hand traps, 13 negation-text and 22 removal-text cards
• Searcher density: 15 cards, P(at least one in opening 5) ≈ 0.81
• Link closers Bucephalus II (3500 ATK) and Shuraig (3000 ATK) on a Beast-friendly base

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four copy-limit violations including two Forbidden Extra Deck cards
• Three conflicting engines (Toon, Yummy, Tri-Brigade) with 14.3% exact purity
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No combo or tournament evidence to confirm conversion

Critical choke points

• Toon World needs Toon monsters; without them the 3-copy Toon World is dead
• Link-1 enablers (Yummy★Snatchy, Linkuriboh, Gravity Controller) give only about 0.25 odds of at least one in the opening 5 for Yummy Link summons
• Extra Deck Yummy Ways and Borreload are Forbidden or over-limit, so the Synchro route fails legality

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 4 copy-limit violations, Forbidden status for Borreload Savage Dragon and Cupsy★Yummy Way; Composition counts: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; archetype purity 14.3%; Card text for hand traps, negation and removal cards
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric odds; Interaction strength and closing power from card text and stats; Pilotability from the number of engines
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Side deck is empty (0 cards) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
