Atlantean Deck #775298 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck beaters: Abysstrite, Poseidra Abyss, Mermail Abyssgaios, Levia-Dragoon / Levia-Dragon - Daedalus, Icejade Gymir Aegirine (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Direct attack from Atlantean Dragoons (text: Level 3 or lower Sea Serpent monsters can attack directly) (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon Atlantean/Mermail starters (Neptabyss, Mermail Abysspike, Mermail Abyssteus, Atlantean Dragoons) toward an Abyss-/Mermail Xyz or Daedalus Link (Inferred from card text, not from recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Dominus Impulse) to slow the opponent, then Mulcharmy draw effects to rebuild card count (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through searchers that add Atlantean/Mermail monsters (Mermail Abyssteus, Mermail Abysspike, Neptabyss, Warchief of Atlantis) and GY-to-field effects (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are each run 3 times against a 2-copy OCG limit, so the score is capped and the structural read is theoretical only. The archetype core is well represented (P(at least one of the 23 core-group cards in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.92, Inferred), so the engine is likely to come online on the first turn. Interaction is broad (11 hand traps, 12 negation texts, 18 removal texts; Inferred from text), which supports the going-second plan. Scoring is not based on archetype popularity or on averaging card scores; the score reflects the system's consistency, interaction, and Extra Deck coverage. The main gaps are the complete absence of recorded boards (no median or ceiling data), an Extra Deck split across three summon types, and no Side Deck, so the score is held low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Control secondary; Midrange profile used for structural weights. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); no_side_deck (-4); extra_deck_scatter (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*55 + 0.20*48 - 12 = 41.6; Illegal cap applied, final = 30 (theoretical only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Core archetype group is well represented (about 0.92 for at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 11 hand traps and 12 negation texts (Inferred from card text)
• Multiple Extra Deck finishers from different summon types

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two cards exceed the OCG copy limit
• No Side Deck
• Low exact-name archetype purity (16%)
• No recorded boards, so floor, median, and ceiling are text-only

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck summons depend on specific Xyz/Synchro/Link materials that are thinly represented
• Hand-trap plan relies on a few 2-copy and 3-copy cards that are over the legal limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts are within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse run 3 copies against a legal limit of 2; Droll & Lock Bird and One for One are Limited and run at 1 copy each
• Inferred: Core-group P(at least one in 5-card hand) is about 0.92; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text counts; Going-second hand-trap coverage is about 0.72
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median, and ceiling are 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/OTK rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck recorded
