Yubel Deck #774917 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yubel boss monsters (Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare, Yubel, Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever) and Kaiju/Fusion beatdown via Spirit of Yubel, Nightmare Throne and Fusion Deployment recursion; Kaiju summons (Radian, Thunder King, Jizukiru) and Fusion Monsters with burn or battle-damage effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Yubel searcher (Nightmare Throne, Nightmare Pain, Spirit of Yubel) plus a Fusion starter (Super Polymerization or Fusion Deployment) to reach a Fusion boss; not evaluated in play data
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's 0.45 chance of a hand trap (Ghost Ogre, Evenly Matched, Gruesome Grave Squirmer) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Spirit of Yubel and Samsara Lotus
• Recovery: Recycle Yubel monsters from GY/banish via Nightmare Throne and Eternal Favorite, and reuse Samsara Lotus from the GY as a repeatable damage source
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: it runs 3 copies of Super Polymerization (Semi-Limited, 2 allowed) and 1 Pot of Greed (Forbidden), so under the rubric it gets a capped, theoretical structural read only. Its core is a Yubel engine (Nightmare Throne, Spirit of Yubel, Samsara Lotus, Nightmare Pain, all at 3 copies) that the archetype-core probability puts at about 0.81 to open at least one of in a 5-card hand (Inferred). The Fusion and Kaiju boss monsters give a decent closing power, and the 5 hand traps plus 28 removal-text cards give the deck interaction density (Inferred from text). The score is held down by low archetype purity (11.4% exact-name, 62 off-archetype copies), no side deck, no combo or tournament data, and the Forbidden and over-limit cards. Popularity was not used to raise the score, and no card scores were averaged into the deck result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); illegal_cap (-10). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural read only. 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 50, then capped to 30 for Illegal status. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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

• Strong archetype core access: 0.81 chance of opening a core card in 5 (Inferred)
• Substantial searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) (Verified text flags)
• High closing power from 3000+ ATK Fusion and Kaiju monsters (Verified stats)
• Five hand traps give some going-second interaction (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Pot of Greed (Forbidden) and 3 copies of Semi-Limited Super Polymerization
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (11.4%) with many off-archetype cards
• No combo or tournament data to confirm the real output

Critical choke points

• Yubel - Terror Incarnate and Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare are single copies, so the boss line depends on one card each
• Super Polymerization and Fusion Deployment are the only Fusion access and must both be legal to build the list

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Pot of Greed Forbidden x1; Super Polymerization 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size limits; Card stats and text flags from the export; Usage stats: 8 of 14 core cards present
• Inferred: Starter consistency ≈ 0.81 in opening 5 (hypergeometric); Interaction density from removal and hand-trap text; Going-second hand-trap chance ≈ 0.45; Combo ceiling from Fusion and Yubel text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck is Illegal and has no side deck, so the post-side read is not evaluable Deck title is null in the export
