P.U.N.K. Deck #774185 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Not established: no recorded combos and no clear single finisher; closing relies on Swordsoul, Imsety, Hapi, Doriado or Goblin Bikers Gone Wild attacking into a board (text read, Inferred).; Goblin and Horus sub-engines resolving to a 2400-3000 ATK body (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Triple Tactics Thrust, Speedroid Terrortop, Noh-P.U.N.K. Foxy Tune search lines) and hold Ash Blossom / Nibiru as interaction (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Nibiru x3, Evenly Matched) to disrupt the opponent's turn-1 board, then a King's Sarcophagus-enabled Horus or Goblin follow-up (Inferred).
• Recovery: Goblin Biker Grand Breakout / Grand Entrance recursion and Horus revival from the GY via King's Sarcophagus (text read, Inferred).
• After siding: Not available: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. It has a usable searcher and hand-trap density (16 searcher-text cards, 7 hand traps; P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opener) is about 0.83, Inferred), and its interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Triple Tactics Thrust, Mystical Space Typhoon, Dark Ruler No More, Nine Pillars of Yang Zing) gives it real end-board and disruption coverage. The engines are fragmented: only 4 of 56 main-deck copies are exact P.U.N.K. names (5.6% purity) and 67 copies sit outside the archetype across roughly ten sub-archetypes (Goblin, Horus, Bamboo Sword, Roid, Radiant Typhoon, Yang Zing and others), so the Horus and Goblin lines compete for space with the P.U.N.K. core. No combos were recorded, so the combo ceiling and floor are text-only inferences and the deck earns little combo credit. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2) and has no side deck, which caps the score; treat this as a structural, theoretical read. Popularity and archetype share earned no points, and no meta data was supplied, so Meta Power stays null.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Midrange not separately weighted (structural weights only). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure / copy-limit violation (-6); No side deck (-3); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional), capped low for Illegal status: 0.80*47 + 0.20*40 = 45.6, then modifiers -12 = 34 (theoretical/structural read only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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 searcher text (16 cards, P(>=1 in opener) ~0.83, Inferred)
• Broad interaction: 7 hand traps and 7 negation-text cards (Ash x3, Nibiru x3, Nine Pillars, Joruri-P.U.N.K. Dangerous Gabu, Dark Ruler No More)
• Horus revival package enabled by 2 King's Sarcophagus (Imsety x3, Hapi, Duamutef) gives a 2400-3000 ATK body route

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Four archetypes compete for the same slots (67 off-archetype copies), so no single engine is consistent
• No side deck; no post-side plan and no matchup adjustability
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count (illegal as submitted; the over-limit copy must be removed before the list is playable)
• King's Sarcophagus x2 as the only enabler for the Horus revival line
• P.U.N.K. core of 4 cards for the archetype the deck is named after

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 56 cards and Extra deck 15 cards are within TCG size limits (main 40-60, extra 0-15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (over limit); Side deck is empty (0 cards); Card text excerpts for the hand traps, King's Sarcophagus, and Imsety/Hapi/Duamutef revival conditions
• Observed: Exact-name archetype purity is 5.6% (4 of 71 P.U.N.K.-named or sub-archetype copies; off-archetype 67)
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher-text card in 5-card opener) ~0.83 from hypergeometric estimate; Interaction density is high based on negation and removal text across 7 and 15 cards; Going-second value rests on hand traps; P(>=1 hand trap in 6) ~0.57; Engine fragmentation across sub-archetypes lowers D1 and D14
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13), no tournament link
• Data gaps: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the Semi-Limited copy limit; the deck is Illegal as submitted No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics marks 13 extra-deck cards in_this_deck=false while cards[] lists them with zone=extra; this is an export inconsistency and lowers confidence No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null
