Firewall Deck #774761 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-5 or Link-6 Firewall Dragon (Darkfluid 3000 ATK / Singularity 3500 ATK) over a board kept clear by hand traps (Inferred); Transcode Talker (2300 ATK, Link-3) and Primathmech Xyz beats once the Mathmech engine connects (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Cynet Mining or Backup @Ignister and hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Ghost hand traps for the opponent's first activations (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand trap the opponent's first board-building effect, then clear backrow or the field with Harpie's Feather Duster or Raigeki (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur from the GY with Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Mathmech Equation or Superfactorial; no verified recovery line exists (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the side deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan through its searchers: about 0.75 odds of at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opener, with three copies each of Backup @Ignister and Cynet Mining as redundant starters. Its strongest scoring is interaction, with 14 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards layered across the opponent's turns, and this drives the going-second score. Conversion is held back by a split engine: Mathmech, @Ignister, Code Talker, Mulcharmy and Salamangreat cards share the Main Deck, and the Firewall name covers only 8.5 percent of it. The Extra Deck has a high Link ceiling, but there are no recorded boards, so both conversion and median output are text-only inferences. Popularity earned no points, and the score is not an average of card scores. The deck is Illegal (three Forbidden or over-limit copies), so the normal Final formula is withheld and the score is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: normal formula withheld. Uncapped 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-10) = 46; capped at 30 as theoretical/structural-only. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · 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

• Layered interaction: 14 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards
• Searcher density (13 searcher-text cards) with redundant 3-copy starters Backup @Ignister and Cynet Mining
• High Link ceiling in the Extra Deck: Firewall Dragon Darkfluid (3000 ATK) and Singularity (3500 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 Triple Tactics Talent and 1 Link Decoder (Forbidden), plus 3 Mathmech Circular against a limit of 1
• Split identity: exact Firewall purity is 8.5 percent across Mathmech, @Ignister, Code Talker, Mulcharmy and Salamangreat
• Empty side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded boards, so conversion cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Mathmech Circular (3 copies, only 1 legal) is a core Mathmech search and summon route; removing the illegal copies collapses that line
• Backup @Ignister (3 copies) is the bridge that enables Extra-Deck summons for the @Ignister lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Triple Tactics Talent (3) and Link Decoder (1) are Forbidden; Mathmech Circular runs 3 copies against a limit of 1; Main 56 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side deck is 0; Card stats and text as listed in the evidence
• Inferred: Searcher and hand-trap hypergeometric consistency estimates; Interaction density and layering read from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates; Engine conflict and pilotability reads; Combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences (no boards)
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no tournament link or dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: combo ceiling, median and floor are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample usage statistics lists S:P Little Knight as not in deck, but the card list shows 1 copy in the Extra Deck; the usage comparison may exclude Extra Deck cards No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored
