Frog Deck #775210 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• 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: Zombie/Call of the Haunted boss recursion (Pumpking the King of Grave Ghosts, Stare of the Snake Hair, Call of the Haunted) backed by Extra Deck beaters such as Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Mercurium and The Undying Legion; Frog Extra Deck pressure (Toadally Awesome x2) with Swap Frog as the only exact-archetype engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Swap Frog, Hubrow, Stare, Ghost Belle or Ectoplasmic Fortification) and search or recycle a Call of the Haunted line; hold hand traps only when they do not cost the main engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first engine (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) and rebuild from the GY through Stare, Pumpking and Call recursion
• Recovery: Recur the Call of the Haunted monsters from the GY with Call of the Haunted, Call of the Forgotten and Pumpking, then re-enter Extra Deck bosses; Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster reset backrow
• After siding: Not evaluable: the Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is Call of the Haunted, not Frog: two Call of the Haunted, three Stare of the Snake Hair, three Pumpking the King of Grave Ghosts, one Call of the Forgotten and three Ectoplasmic Fortification give a plausible recursion loop, but only 4 of 56 main cards are the exact Frog archetype (5.6% exact-name purity), and 67 copies are off-archetype. The list reliably opens a starter (about 0.78 for at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred), and its thirteen hand traps and layered negation give it real going-second interaction and endboard resilience. Offensive closing comes from Extra Deck bosses such as Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Mercurium and The Undying Legion, but those bosses belong to different engines, so conflicts and bricks pull consistency down. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score is the system read. Because the list is Illegal (Ash Blossom over its Semi-Limited limit and a Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent), the final contextual score is capped at 30 and the structural read of about 52 is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-7) = 43 pre-cap; Illegal cap applied -> 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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, layered interaction: 13 hand traps plus backrow and spell removal
• Going-second hand-trap density (about 0.81 chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand, Inferred)
• Recursion through Stare, Pumpking, Call of the Forgotten and Hubrow gives some continuation after disruption
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses (Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord 3800, Mercurium 3000, Undying Legion 2700)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom over copy limit and Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent
• Engine conflict: five-plus archetypes share one list with only 4 exact Frog cards
• Hand-trap-heavy main deck: dead cards when the opponent does not interact
• Empty Side Deck: no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Call of the Haunted x2 is the only archetype-core trap that feeds the Pumpking and Stare recursion
• Frog starters are only Swap Frog x2 and Toadally Awesome x2 in the Extra Deck, so Frog lines stall when those are absent

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and OCG size rules [40,60] / [0,15] / [0,15] passed; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs Semi-Limited 2; Triple Tactics Talent 1 copy vs Forbidden 0; Card stats and card text for all 46 distinct cards; Archetype usage stats: 11 rows, 8 core cards present (72.7%)
• Inferred: Hand-trap density and going-second interaction read; Opening-hand probabilities (about 0.78 at least one archetype-core card, about 0.81 at least one hand trap in 6 cards); Engine coherence and brick estimate from composition; Strategy classification as Toolbox with Stun and Midrange secondaries
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side Deck adaptability (no Side Deck list)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No Side Deck: post-side plan is unevaluable No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
