Gunkan Deck #774595 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Gunkan Xyz Extra Deck boards (Shirauo-class Carrier, Ikura-class Dreadnought, Uni-class Super-Dreadnought) built off Gunkan Shari / Uni / Shari Red starters, with Ryzeal and Utopia Xyz as secondary boards; Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Number 39: Utopia, and the Level 11/12 beatsticks (Nibiru, AA-ZEUS, TY-PHON) as late-game closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Gunkan starter (Shari, Uni or Shari Red) or Painful Decision / Bonfire to reach a Gunkan Xyz, using Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand interaction while the board is built
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Nibiru, and use Lightning Storm, Raigeki or Harpie's Feather Duster to clear the opponent's board before rebuilding through a Gunkan Xyz
• Recovery: Ryzeal and Gunkan monsters recycle from the GY (Ryzeal Plugin, Ryzeal Cross, Sword Ryzeal and Ext Ryzeal re-summons) and Primite Lordly Lode / Drillbeam give extra searches
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be scored; the list plays one configuration throughout

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter: the archetype core group of 15 Gunkan and Ryzeal cards gives about 0.88 odds of at least one in the opening five, and 15 searchers and 12 negation-text cards add redundancy (Inferred from the hypergeometric table). Conversion is the weak link: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling (Gunkan Xyz plus Ryzeal Detonator) and the median output are both text-only reads, and the deck splits across at least four sub-archetypes (Gunkan, Ryzeal, Primite, Utopia; exact-name purity 26.7%). Interaction is the strongest component, from 6 hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Infinite Impermanence x2, Nibiru x2) plus Raigeki, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the Extra Deck on the system, not from Gunkan being a popular archetype, and not from averaging individual card scores. Without a side deck and without dated meta data, the score stays at Medium confidence with a ±6 band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55.65, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-1); Engine conflicts (-2); No side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated meta sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core group reliably present in opening hands (~0.88 at hand 5)
• Six hand traps plus Raigeki, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster give layered interaction
• Full, high-ATK Extra Deck with three Gunkan Xyz finishers and Ryzeal Detonator as a removal Xyz
• Legal list: all copy limits respected, no banned cards, 45/15/0 sizes within format rules

Weaknesses

• Multi-engine build (Gunkan, Ryzeal, Primite, Utopia) with 26.7% exact-name archetype purity
• No recorded combo boards, so conversion and median output are unverified
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Single-copy Limited engine pieces (Ryzeal Detonator, Ext Ryzeal) are unrecoverable if drawn out

Critical choke points

• Gunkan Shari (x3) and Shari Red as the shared starter for the Gunkan Xyz plan
• Ryzeal Detonator (1 copy, Limited) as the sole removal Xyz

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 45/15/0 sizes, copy limits and Limited/Semi-Limited restrictions; Card stats and text for all 41 distinct cards; Archetype spread (exact-name purity 26.7%); Usage stat core cards present: 11 of 25 (44%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (~0.88 at hand 5); Brick and conflict estimates from copy histogram and role tags; Ceiling and median output from text only; Interaction quality from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament link or meta share)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo 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 and matchup results are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample no side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be scored
