Hecahands Deck #775280 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 23 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Hecahands Fusion Monsters (Xeno, Dandalos, Jauzah) from the Extra Deck, backed by Hecahands searchers and hand traps; Link and Synchro beatsticks (Chaos Angel, Silhouhatte Rabbit, Muckraker) and the Chimera / Azamina Fusion lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon or Special Summon a searcher (Gazelle, Sengenjin, Nightmare Apprentice, Hecahands Ibtel), search a Hecahands Fusion route, and protect the first line with Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Judgment or Maxx C to answer the opponent's first line, then recover through Hecahands searchers and fusion
• Recovery: Hecahands Yadel and Tartaros return a card to hand, and Ib'al-Hecahands and Yad'al-Hecahands negate the opponent's next activation while the engine rebuilds
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck's engine reliably gets a starter in hand: the archetype-core group has P(at least one in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.68 and the searcher text group ≈ 0.91, so the Hecahands line is usually reachable (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest system trait, with 18 negation-text cards and 10 hand traps giving roughly 79% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred). No recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates and scored conservatively. Score is capped low because the list is Illegal: Cross-Sheep is Forbidden and the Extra Deck is 23 cards against a 15-card limit. Popularity and the core-card usage stats confirm the list is real but do not raise the score, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); extra_deck_over_limit (-4); illegal_cap (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (≈41) then capped to 35 because the deck is Illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.68 · 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 searcher and hand-trap package gives high access to the engine
• Layered negation (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ib'al- and Yad'al-Hecahands, Solemn Judgment) is strong on the going-second turn
• Several high-ATK Extra-Deck finishers (Xeno, Guardian Chimera, Chaos Angel)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Cross-Sheep and an over-size Extra Deck
• Low archetype purity (23.2%) and many off-archetype copies weaken engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos or tournament data to validate the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Hecahands core starter must be in the opening hand (≈0.68)
• Extra Deck fusion material lines depend on Hecahands monsters being present

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Cross-Sheep Forbidden with 1 copy run; Extra Deck 23 exceeds the 15-card OCG limit; Main Deck 46 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Exact-name archetype purity 23.2%
• Inferred: Starter access P ≈ 0.68 (archetype core) and searcher access ≈ 0.91; Going-second hand-trap access ≈ 0.79; Interaction density from negation and hand-trap text; Combo ceiling and median from card text only (no boards)
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) lack a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) no guides for the archetype Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
