GMX Deck #775246 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• 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: Fusion Summon GMX attackers (GMX - COMPREX 3700 ATK, GMX - VELOX 2700 ATK, GMX - ALLOS 3000 ATK) using Dinosaur material gathered by Fossil Dig and GMX searchers (text-based read, Inferred); Ultimate Conductor Tyranno 3500 ATK once Dinosaurs are in the Graveyard (text-based read, Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon GMX Researcher Selande or Souleating Oviraptor, search with Fossil Dig or GMX Associate Noma / Returned Dino Daneen, then Fusion Summon a GMX Fusion Monster (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first starter or search, then rebuild through the same GMX searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recycle Dinosaurs from the Graveyard through Miscellaneousaurus, Jurrac Megalo draws and Dino Daneen recursion; GMX Partner Selandea and Chairman Kimridge add a second search (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; best-of-3 play would repeat the same main deck (verified from evidence)

Why it scores here

This deck scores as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is reliable on paper: the archetype core has about a 0.997 chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and the searcher group about 0.92, so the GMX searchers and Fossil Dig are usually available early (Inferred). The main reason it scores as well as it does is closing power: GMX - COMPREX (3700 ATK), GMX - VELOX and GMX - ALLOS give it real end-of-turn pressure once a Fusion is established. Interaction is respectable with 7 hand traps and several negation cards, but the ceiling is capped by the lack of any recorded boards, a 33% exact-archetype purity with a mixed Extra Deck (Jurrac, Evolzar, Salamangreat and Charmer cards), and no Side Deck. The deck is illegal as submitted because it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring under the OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so this score is theoretical and structural only. Popularity was not credited; the archetype is at roughly 33% exact-name purity and the score comes from the list's structure.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4); illegal_cap (-10). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural only. Structural 57 (Midrange profile); 0.80*57 + 0.20*57 = 57 before modifiers; modifiers total -12 give 45; capped to 35 because the deck is Illegal (3x Ash Blossom over the Semi-Limited limit of 2). Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core density is very high (26 GMX-core copies, 0.997 chance of an opening core card)
• Strong Fusion closers (COMPREX 3700 ATK, ALLOS 3000 ATK, VELOX 2700 ATK) with multiple searchers to reach them
• Seven hand traps plus negation and removal text give several answers for the going-second turn

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring exceed the OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so there is no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (32.7%) and a mixed Extra Deck spread across Jurrac, Evolzar, Salamangreat and Charmer
• No recorded combo boards, so the floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Dinosaur material count for Fusion Summons: most GMX Fusions need Dinosaur monsters, and the deck runs several non-Dinosaur starters
• Legality: the deck cannot be played in an OCG event until one Ash Blossom copy is removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is OCG (gameplay_type_id 7) with 40 Main, 15 Extra and 0 Side cards; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2 (violation); Limited cards (Droll & Lock Bird, Foolish Burial, Miscellaneousaurus, S:P Little Knight) each run 1 copy, which is legal; Card stats for GMX - COMPREX (3700 ATK), GMX - ALLOS (3000 ATK), GMX - VELOX (2700 ATK), Ultimate Conductor Tyranno (3500 ATK)
• Observed: Archetype purity 32.7% exact-name and the archetype spread (GMX 18, generic 26, Mulcharmy 4, Jurrac 3, Evolzar 2, Charmer 1, Salamangreat 1)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility from hypergeometric estimates (0.997 core, 0.919 searcher); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Ceiling read of COMPREX/ALLOS/VELOX from text; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or dated meta sample); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, starter or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Evidence inconsistency: GMX - ALLOS, GMX - COMPREX, GMX - VELOX and Evolved Daneen appear in the cards list (zone extra, resolved), but usage_statistics marks them in_this_deck:false; the usage linkage for these cards could not be reconciled Deck title is null, so the list was identified by archetype and card content only
