Deck Ally of Justice #498596 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 18/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Synchro Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Control, Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — trạng thái theo luật lúc đánh giá: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summoning high-ATK dragons and warriors to control the board; Grinding through midgame với flipped effects and equip-based removal
• Turn 1 (going first): Triệu hồi bình thường 1 starter (Lonefire, Debris Dragon, or tuner), develop synchro board với negation/removal, set interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand resources (Cyber Valley, removal traps, Lyla disruption) to clear opponent board and synchro into beaters
• Recovery: Miracle Fertilizer and Call of the Haunted loop Plant monsters from Mộ; recursion via Scrap Dragon and Colossal Fighter
• After siding: No side deck — cannot adapt between games (Illegal status)

Why it scores here

This Ally of Justice Synchro deck cannot be formally evaluated as 1 competitive list because it is Illegal in OCG: it runs Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis (3 copies, Forbidden), Dandylion (2 copies, Forbidden), and Heavy Storm (1 copy, Forbidden). The evaluation below is structural-only, analyzing what the deck *would* do if legalized. The core engine—Cyber Valley, Trade-In, Hidden Armory, and tuners—can generate Synchro monsters (Stardust, Scrap Dragon, Black Rose) với moderate board presence and interaction, but the list suffers from severe consistency issues: no hand traps, conflicting starter roles (Lonefire vs Debris Dragon vs Lyla), and 1 55-card main deck creating significant brick risk. The banned cards (especially Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis as 1 3-of and Dandylion) were likely core payoffs; removing them and the oversized build would require substantial reconstruction. As-submitted, this deck is unplayable in format and scores reflect the structural flaws that would persist even after correcting legality.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70% Toolbox + 30% Midrange. Structural ≈ 35, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 22. Modifiers: Illegal status (Forbidden cards: Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis ×3, Dandylion ×2, Heavy Storm ×1) (-45); Oversized main deck (55 vs 40 minimum) (-8); No side deck (0/15 submitted) (-5); Limited combo evidence and no tournament data (-3). Final formula: Illegal deck — capped at 18 / 100. Formula: 0.55*Structural(35) + 0.25*Meta(null→0) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(22) = theoretical 27.35; capped to 18 due to 3 banned cards + oversized build + no side deck.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.49 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Synchro Extra Deck is deep (15 monsters) với diverse effects: Stardust negation, Scrap Dragon recursion, Black Rose wipe, Goyo/Colossal board steal, bounce via Brionac/Mist Wurm
• Plant engine (Lonefire, Dandylion, Phoenixian Cluster) has natural Synchro scaling — tuners pair với Plant token generators
• Draw engine (Trade-In, Cyber Valley, Card Trooper) enables hand refresh mid-combo
• Interaction density moderate: 11 negation effects, 15 removal effects across main and Extra
• Going-second plan exists: Lyla disruption + removal traps (Torrential, Mirror Force, Compulsory Evacuation)

Weaknesses

• Oversized 55-card main deck (15 over minimum) severely increases brick rate and starter collision
• Only 2 tuners (Debris Dragon, Plaguespreader Zombie) for Synchro summoning; heavy reliance on Lonefire gatekeeps many lines
• No hand traps or turn-1 floodgates; vulnerable to aggressive going-second pressure
• Starter roles conflict: Lonefire and Debris Dragon both compete for Triệu hồi bình thường slot; no Natural Synchro support
• Recursion fragile: only Scrap Dragon and Colossal Fighter offer Mộ recovery, and only after destruction — no proactive loops
• Inconsistent searcher payoffs: Hidden Armory finds equips (weak endboard boost), Charge of the Light Brigade requires Lightsworn (only 3 copies of Ryko/Lyla)
• Three banned cards (Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis, Dandylion, Heavy Storm) were likely core; their removal requires full reconstruction

Critical choke points

• Illegal in OCG: cannot be played in competitive format
• Oversized deck creates severe consistency floor; even 1 legal rebuild requires cutting to 40 and removing banned payoffs
• Single Synchro board end-state: opponent breaks it với one interrupt (no redundant lines or recovery into new board)
• Lonefire bottleneck: many Plant combos require it; if milled or removed T1, lines fold
• No side deck: cannot tune for specific meta matchups (best-of-3 format penalty)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (3 Forbidden cards present; main deck 55 cards vs 40–60 OCG range; 0 side deck); Card text: all 38 main + 14 extra distinct cards resolved với legal_copies and banlist_status confirmed; Synchro Extra Deck: 15 all-Synchro lineup confirmed legal, effects verified; Copy histogram: 27 singletons, 5 two-ofs, 6 three-ofs (verified from card list); Usage statistics: Ally of Justice core cards identified; deck runs 8/25 core cards at 32% coverage
• Observed: Role tags: 11 negation_text hints, 15 removal_text hints, 5 searcher_text hints across resolved cards
• Inferred: Starter accessibility (D1): P(≥1 tuner or Lonefire hand5) ≈ 0.50 from hypergeometric on 2 tuners + 2 Lonefire in 55-card deck; Brick rate (D2): 27 singletons in 55 cards → estimated 49% full brick; starter collision (Lonefire vs Debris Dragon Triệu hồi bình thường conflict); Combo ceiling (D3): inferred Cấp độ-8 Synchro + 1–2 interaction from card text; no combo boards provided; Combo median (D4): one Cấp độ-6–8 Synchro + 1 backrow estimated from starter diversity and text-only recursion; Resilience (D5): only 2 independent recursion paths (Scrap Dragon, Colossal Fighter) after destruction; one-choke board; Resource economy (D6): Trade-In / Card Destruction refresh neutral; Miracle Fertilizer loops một lần mỗi lượt but requires Plant live; Going-first board (D7): estimated 2–3 negation layers (Tytannial, Stardust, Solemn Judgment); low interaction_density inference; Going-second (D8): Lyla disruption + Torrential/Mirror Force/Compulsory Evacuation as removal suite; moderate board-breaker coverage; Closing power (D9): 2500–3000 ATK Synchro bosses enable damage race; no piercing or direct damage; reliant on unblocked board; Main deck efficiency (D10): 55 cards với 49% singleton rate massively inflates brick; slot utilization poor; Extra deck efficiency (D11): 15 all-Synchro với diverse effects (negation, removal, recursion, bounce); full justification for every slot; Pilotability (D14): multiple starter roles (Lonefire, Debris Dragon, Lyla, tuners) create high decision variance; oversized main increases pilot error
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no tournament link; Ally of Justice archetype has minimal historical meta presence; format fit Unknown); Matchup coverage: OCG meta composition and Ally of Justice format positioning unconfirmed
• Data gaps: Legality: deck is Illegal (cannot be evaluated as 1 competition-ready list); all scores structural-only Combos: no parseable boards provided; combo floor, median, and ceiling inferred from card text only Tournament data: no tournament link supplied; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent Win-rate telemetry: no going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter empirical rates in YGOVN; all consistency inferred from hypergeometric Side deck: 0/15 submitted (0% post-game adaptability data) Format meta sample: no dated metagame snapshot to compute Meta Power; all matchup fit Provisional
