R.B. Deck #775092 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: R.B. Link-monster board with R.B. Stage Landing, R.B. Lambda Cannon and R.B. Funk Dock recursion, closing through R.B. Link attackers and Therion King Regulus (2800 ATK, text-only read); Sky Striker Ace links and Mecha Phantom Beast beatsticks as off-archetype attackers (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open R.B. Stage Landing or Ga10 Driller, Special Summon into a R.B. Link-2/3 via Shepherd's Crook or VALCan Booster, and hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Forbidden Droplet for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash, Droll, Impermanence) and Next Phase to strip the opponent's first board, then rebuild R.B. monsters from the GY via Last Stand or Operation Test
• Recovery: Last Stand and Operation Test re-Special R.B. monsters from the GY; Funk Dock and Lambda Cannon search R.B. cards back to hand (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (0 cards) and no post-side data exists

Why it scores here

This score comes from the list as a system, not from averaging its card scores or from R.B. being a popular archetype: the R.B. core is present, but only 22 of 55 cards match the exact archetype name, and 33 copies are off-archetype tech and hand traps. Interaction density is the strongest signal (15 negation-text cards, 7 hand-trap cards) and gives the deck resilience through an interrupted turn, with several recursion routes (Last Stand, Operation Test, Funk Dock, Lambda Cannon). Consistency is middling: the main-deck R.B. starter odds are about 0.88 in an opening five (the evidence's 0.99 figure counts Extra Deck copies, which cannot be in the opening hand), and four Sky Striker Ace Link monsters sit in the Extra Deck with no main-deck Sky Striker Ace monster to feed them. The deck is illegal as submitted because Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs three copies against a Semi-Limited limit of two, and it has no side deck, so the Structural score of about 54 is capped to 35 as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-3); Engine conflict (-2); Engine compactness (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 53; modifiers -7 gives 46; Illegal cap applied, final shown as 35 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• 15 negation-text cards and 7 hand traps give layered interaction
• Several GY recursion routes (Last Stand, Operation Test, Funk Dock) support interruption recovery
• Core R.B. engine is present with 9 R.B. Link monsters in Extra

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• 33 off-archetype copies dilute the engine
• Four Sky Striker Ace Link monsters lack main-deck Sky Striker Ace feeders

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom legality (must drop to 2 copies)
• Main-deck R.B. starters (Stage Landing x3 and a few 1-ofs) are the only route into the Extra Deck Link monsters
• Going-first turn 1 depends on one starter in five cards (about 0.34 for Stage Landing)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom copies 3 vs legal 2 (Illegal); Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Exact-name purity 40% (22 of 55); Side deck is empty
• Inferred: Main-deck R.B. starter odds about 0.88 (evidence proxy 0.99 counts Extra copies); Sky Striker Ace Link engine conflict; Negation and hand-trap interaction density from card text; Recovery routes from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup/format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for R.B. or this list usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the cards list: R.B. The Brute Blues, R.B. VALCan Booster, R.B. Shepherd's Crook, Sky Striker Ace links (Hayate, Amatsu, Camellia, Kagari) are in the Extra list but flagged in_this_deck=false; core_present_pct 68 is therefore understated archetype_core_group probability (0.9906) counts Extra Deck R.B. copies that cannot be in an opening hand Deck title is null; list has no side deck
