Galaxy Photon Deck #775037 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Raise Moon Xyz/Synchro boards (Cielo, Shayna, Lamp Croucier) and high-ATK Extra Deck closers (Silent Magician, Nibiru, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Super Starslayer TY-PHON); Off-archetype beatsticks (Enigmaster Packbit, Despian Luluwalilith, Golden Cloud Beast - Malong)
• Turn 1 (going first): Draw a Raise Moon draw-starter (The Glitter, Lamp Croucier, Blade Shayna, Cielo) and special-summon it on the draw, then build a Level 7 Xyz or Synchro board; hand traps stay in hand as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Maxx C) to disrupt the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Raise Moon draw effects
• Recovery: Raise Moon GY recursion via The City that Never Sleeps and The Glitter of Raise Moon; Foolish Burial Goods and Pot of Desires for extra draws
• After siding: None; the deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score is capped low because the list is Illegal: it runs 2 copies of Albion the Branded Dragon and 1 copy of Baronne de Fleur, both Forbidden in OCG, and carries 18 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card maximum. The Structural read (about 48) is therefore theoretical only. The deck reliably opens a Raise Moon draw-starter in the opening hand (about 95% for at least one of about 23 starter copies in 5 cards, Inferred), and its 14 hand traps give strong going-second interaction. Its weakness is coherence: about 30 Raise Moon cards sit beside Branded, Ecclesia, Despia and Fleur pieces with no shared engine (0% exact-archetype purity), so the Extra Deck is spread across unrelated lines. No combos were recorded, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from Galaxy Photon's popularity or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary (Toolbox not blended into weights). Structural ≈ 48.5, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*48.5 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 33.8 uncapped; capped to 20 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural read only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 Raise Moon draw-starter package (about 23 copies) gives high opening-hand access
• 14 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Strike) give strong going-second interaction
• Strong Extra Deck closers with high ATK (Silent Magician 3500, Nibiru 3000, ZEUS 3000)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden copies of Albion (2) and Baronne (1) plus 18 Extra Deck cards over the 15-card limit
• No single coherent engine: Raise Moon, Branded, Ecclesia, Despia and Fleur compete for the same slots
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combos or tournament data to validate the line

Critical choke points

• Raise Moon draw-starter access: no searcher exists, so consistency depends on drawing a starter
• The Extra Deck is limited to 15, so the off-archetype Extra Deck cards compete with the Xyz/Synchro core

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Albion (2) and Baronne de Fleur (1) are Forbidden in OCG; Extra Deck 18 vs 15 maximum; Main Deck 52 cards within the 40-60 range; 0 Side Deck cards; Exact-archetype purity 0%; Raise Moon 30 copies; hand traps 14
• Inferred: P(at least one Raise Moon draw-starter in 5 cards) ≈ 0.95; Going-second hand-trap interaction is strong; Combo ceiling and median are estimated from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample or tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export
