Borrel Deck #775073 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Borrel/Rokket link-and-synchro boards that end with Link-4/5 Borrel bosses (Borrelshroud Dragon, Borrelend Dragon, Borreload Liberator Dragon) and Dark Dragon Link-chain pressure, per the card text in the evidence.; Rokket recursion and Dominus/negation interaction to protect the board and rebuild Extra Deck summons after disruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Rokket starters (Rokket Loader, Rokket Tracer, Quick Launch, Rokket Barrage) to reach a Link Monster and Link Summon into a Borrel boss; not verifiable without combo data.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment and Red Reboot as hand and Trap interaction, then convert through the Link board. Hand-trap density is the main going-second lever (Inferred).
• Recovery: Rokket Recharger, Absorouter Dragon, Borrel Regenerator and Borrel Reboot recycle or reboot the board after an interruption (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no evidenced post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: Striker Dragon is over its copy limit, Borreload Savage Dragon is Forbidden, and the Extra Deck holds 19 cards against a 15-card maximum, so the score is capped at 20 and is theoretical and structural only. Within that cap, the system reads as a Rokket/Borrel link engine with a real interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Red Reboot, Dominus Impulse). The archetype core is consistently accessible (P of at least one core card in a 5-card hand is 0.94, Inferred), but 12 of the 25 usage-core cards are absent, which weakens the engine's identity. The ceiling and median are both unmeasured because no combo boards were supplied, so they rest on text-only inference. No side deck, no tournament link and no win-rate telemetry exist, so Meta Power is null and Tournament Reliability is lowered. This score comes from consistency, interaction and the Link-boss ceiling on the system, not from averaging card scores or from Borrel's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48.4, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); copy_and_size_violation (-6). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*48.4 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 34.7, capped to 20 because the list is illegal; theoretical/structural only. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 Rokket and Borrel link-engine core that is consistently accessible (Inferred).
• Broad interaction suite with 5 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards (Inferred).
• High-ATK Link-4/5 Borrel bosses give closing power (Verified stats).

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: copy-limit breach, a Forbidden card and an oversized Extra Deck.
• Extra Deck overflow of 4 cards.
• Low Main Deck compactness: 28 level-0 Spell/Trap slots and 34 distinct names.
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan.
• 12 of 25 usage-core cards missing, so the archetype identity is incomplete.

Critical choke points

• Striker Dragon copy limit and the Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon must be fixed before the deck is playable.
• The Rokket Link-chain starter density determines whether the engine turns on.
• The Extra Deck must lose 4 cards to meet the 15 limit.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: copy-limit breach, Forbidden card and Extra Deck overflow.; Card stats and text for all listed cards.; Archetype core usage statistics (25 core cards, 13 present).
• Inferred: Starter consistency from hypergeometric estimates.; Interaction breadth from negation and hand-trap text.; Going-first and going-second splits from card text.; Recovery from Absorouter Dragon and Borrel Regenerator text.
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample).
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchups, bricks or OTK rates. No Side Deck registered, so post-side performance is unmeasured. Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
