Deck Performage #707264 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Pendulum, Xyz Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — trạng thái theo luật lúc đánh giá: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Summon Xyz boards với interaction and grind value; Xyz toolbox access via Rank-Up-Magic for adaptive coverage
• Turn 1 (going first): Build Pendulum scales, Summon Cấp độ 4-5 Spellcasters into Xyz monsters (Trapeze Magician, Shadow Maker) for material-based negation and recovery
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Veiler, Impermanence) and removal (Forbidden Droplet) to disrupt opponent's board; limited going-second board-breaking vớiout dedicated breaker cards
• Recovery: Xyz material manipulation (Cup Tricker attach, Shadow Maker detach for recursion); Rank-Up-Magic recycles Rank 4 Xyz into Rank 5 bosses for repeated interaction
• After siding: No Side Deck present; post-side strategy unknown

Why it scores here

This Performage Pendulum-Xyz hybrid scores low due to multiple structural and legal barriers. The deck is **Illegal** in OCG format (Extra Deck exceeds 15-card limit by 1), which precludes 1 normal contextual evaluation. The core engine — Performage Pendulum starters + Xyz Summoning — shows moderate consistency (P[starter in 5] ≈ 0.54) but suffers from conflicting scales (many Pendulum monsters at scales 1–7, forcing awkward manual setups), redundant Cấp độ 4 Spellcasters that clog the hand, and limited independent lines (high brick risk when Pendulum scales fail to form). Combo output is median at best: Xyz boards (Trapeze Magician, Shadow Maker) provide material-based interaction but are vulnerable to single-point disruption of the Pendulum summon. The deck lacks 1 coherent going-second plan, relies on 3x hand traps in 1 44-card list (diluting starter density), and has no Side Deck to address metagame gaps. The cumulative effect is 1 deck that opens inconsistently, recovers poorly after disruption, and lacks the turn-order resilience expected of modern Combo strategies. This score reflects structural underperformance of the system, not the popularity of Performage as an archetype.

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 28, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Illegal status (-18); No Side Deck (-5); Archetype obsolescence (-3). Final formula: Evaluation suspended: deck is Illegal (Extra Deck 16 > 15). Structural + Reliability blend reported for reference only; Final score capped as theoretical assessment.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.54 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.4 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Pendulum Xyz hybrid offers material-based interaction (Trapeze Magician negation via material math) and recursion (Shadow Maker detach recovery)
• Small World (3 copies) provides flexible routing to patch scale pairs and access diverse starters
• Xyz Extra-Deck access is broad (9 Xyz, 6 Link, 1 Fusion) enabling toolbox coverage for various scenarios
• Damage Juggler provides damage-negation utility and searches Performage on destruction, offering soft float value
• Magistus sub-engine (Zoroa, Endymion, Artemis) bridges into Xyz and Link Summoning với equipment tech

Weaknesses

• Pendulum scale conflict: 9 monsters với scales 1–7 make it difficult to form 1 functional scale pair in 1 single hand; many hands will have scales that are too close or too far apart
• Brick rate ~40%: excessive hand-trap density (5 copies) and conflicting Triệu hồi bình thườngs dilute starter density
• Single-choke-point Pendulum setup: entire combo hinges on forming scales; one disruption (Ash on Performer, hand trap on scale setup) collapses the turn
• Going-second plan nonexistent: only 5 hand traps in 44 cards (11% hand-trap ratio); limited removal beyond Forbidden Droplet; no dedicated board-breaker Xyz
• Missing core Xyz: deck lacks both Number F0: Utopic Future and Number F0: Utopic Draco Future (100% inclusion in archetype stats), reducing Rank toolbox coverage
• Archetype obsolescence: Performage was strong in 2015–2016 OCG but has fallen out of the metagame; no modern positioning data available
• Illegal format status: Extra Deck exceeds 15-card limit by 1, making the deck unplayable in OCG as-is

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG format (Extra Deck 16 > 15); Main Deck 44 cards (4 over minimum 40); Legality: 4 Limited cards at legal copy counts (Called by the Grave ×1, Crossout ×1, Foolish ×1, Triple Tactics ×1); Card text confirmed for all 40 distinct cards (Performage starters, hand traps, Xyz bosses, Links); Extra Deck composition: 9 Xyz, 6 Link, 1 Fusion; Archetype purity: 23 exact Performage name, 21 off-archetype (Magistus 5, Abyss Actor 4, generic 12)
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show 100% inclusion of Damage Juggler (2 copies), Foolish Burial (1), Called by the Grave (1); deck runs these at or near archetype-standard levels; Deck deviates from core Xyz: missing 2/2 100%-inclusion Number F0 variants (Utopic Future, Utopic Draco Future)
• Inferred: P[≥1 archetype starter in hand 5] ≈ 0.54 from hypergeometric draw over 6 core Performage cards; Brick estimate ~40% due to conflicting Pendulum scales (1–7), redundant Cấp độ 4 Spellcasters, and hand-trap dilution; Best-line combo: two Pendulum scales set → Pendulum Summon Cấp độ 4–5 Spellcasters → Xyz Summon Trapeze Magician or Shadow Maker (2500–2600 ATK, material-based negation); Median output: single Xyz với 1–2 materials, reduced interaction vs. ceiling; Interruption resilience weak: single Pendulum setup choke point; recovery via Shadow Maker detach or Rank-Up-Magic is conditional and slow; Going-second plan severely limited: 11% hand-trap ratio insufficient for modern disruption meta; no dedicated board-breaker Xyz; Interaction density: Trapeze Magician (negate via material), Shadow Maker (recursive summon), Trapeze Witch (targeting protection) ≈ 2–3 layers per board; Pilotability: straightforward Pendulum setup but error-prone due to scale conflicts; combo lines deterministic once scales form; high brick risk reduces error tolerance
• Provisional: Meta Power null: no dated metagame sample supplied; Performage archetype meta-share and format fit unknown in 2026 OCG; Tournament reliability estimated at 38 based on brick rate, going-second fragility, and lack of post-side plan; no match-level telemetry available
• Data gaps: No combo evidence supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are entirely text-inferred from card roles and Extra-Deck access; no recorded boards from actual play No tournament link: archetype meta-share in 2026 OCG, per-pilot match records, and format-specific win rates are absent No win-rate telemetry: brick rates, going-first vs. going-second performance, matchup outcomes, and OTK/FTK frequency unknown No post-side performance data: deck has no Side Deck; best-of-3 strategy and post-side adaptation are entirely speculative No guides attached: strategic intent, mulligan patterns, and line selection from human guides are absent Archetype obsolescence unquantified: Performage was strong in 2015–2016 OCG but no 2026 metagame sample provided; current positioning and matchup viability unknown
