Deck Galaxy Photon #731985 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 0/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — trạng thái theo luật lúc đánh giá: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: XYZ summon high-Rank Galaxy-Eyes bosses với negation/removal boards; Beatdown với 3000+ ATK Dragons
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Rank 8/9 XYZ monsters (Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon) với multiple materials for interaction density and resource float
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Maxx C) to disrupt opponent; pivot to removal via Galaxy-Eyes banish effects if board breaks
• Recovery: Recursion through Mộ access (Galaxy Summoner, Photon Emperor recovery, Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon re-summon); resource float via Xyz material detach
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards); cannot adapt post-siding

Why it scores here

This Galaxy Photon deck is theoretically evaluated only due to the Maxx C illegality and zero side deck, which make it fundamentally non-competitive in OCG. The core engine shows decent consistency (P≥1 archetype starter ≈0.99) and the Extra Deck is well-constructed với 14 XYZ monsters offering flexible Rank 4/8/9 summons and interaction (negation, removal, recursion). However, the list misses two critical core cards (Number 62 and its upgrade Number C62, both 93% inclusion) and lacks key Rank 8 bosses, instead running mid-tier copies. Without combo boards to measure floor/median, consistency relies on text inference; the hand-trap count (only 3 total) and no side deck eliminate any post-siding resilience. The deck cannot function legally in any rated event.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegality penalty (Maxx C Forbidden in OCG) (-100); Zero side deck (-40); Missing core Rank 8 bosses (-15). Final formula: Illegal deck — evaluation terminated. No Final Contextual score issued.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Well-constructed Extra Deck (14 XYZ, 1 Link) với flexible Rank 4/8/9 summons
• High archetype-core consistency (P≥1 starter ≈0.99)
• Multiple negation/removal options on board (Number 38, Galaxy-Eyes Cipher, Number 90)
• Recursion and float from Galaxy Summoner, Photon Emperor, Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon
• Galaxy-Eyes banish effect unique removal avenue

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL: Maxx C (Forbidden in OCG) — deck cannot be legally registered
• ZERO SIDE DECK: No post-siding adaptation possible
• Missing two critical core bosses (Number 62, Number C62 — both 93% inclusion)
• Only 3 hand traps (Ash ×2, Maxx C) — weak going-second disruption
• Limited independent combo lines; single disruption often collapses board
• No board-breaker engine; reliant on hand traps for going-second
• Conflicting Triệu hồi bình thườngs (Galaxy Soldier negates Triệu hồi đặc biệts rest of turn)

Critical choke points

• Maxx C illegality makes deck non-functional in OCG
• Zero side deck forfeits all best-of-3 adaptability
• Missing Number 62/C62 removes primary Rank 8 engine; forced to use secondary options
• If Galaxy-Eyes banish is negated or hand traps exhausted, going-second game drops to ~40 Structural

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Maxx C (Forbidden in OCG) present với 1 copy, legal_copies = 0; Legality status: Illegal (violates OCG banlist); Main Deck: 40 cards (legal size); Extra Deck: 15 cards (legal size); Side Deck: 0 cards (legal but unusable); Card text roles confirmed from description_excerpt (Galaxy-Eyes Cipher negation, Number 90 effect negation, Photon Jumper searcher, etc.); Usage statistics available: Galaxy Photon archetype has 14 core cards at >50% inclusion; this deck runs 15/25 core cards (60%)
• Observed: Seven 3-of cards form starter redundancy backbone; Extra Deck: 14 XYZ monsters (Rank 4 ×4, Rank 8 ×9, Rank 9 ×1); 1 Link monster; Three hand traps only (Ash Blossom ×2, Maxx C ×1) vs. archetype norm of 4–6; Conflicting Triệu hồi bình thườngs: Galaxy Soldier restricts summons to LIGHT; creates brick potential với unrelated starters
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.987 via hypergeometric (archetype core 22 copies); P(≥1 hand trap in hand 6 going-second) ≈ 0.39 (only 3 copies); Full brick estimate ≈ 1.3% (archetype core coverage); Combo floor vớiout boards: 2–3 Xyz summons per starter, 1–2 interaction pieces; Going-second resilience low due to only 3 hand traps and no board-breaker engine; Recursion viable via Galaxy Summoner, Photon Emperor float, Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow; approximately 3–4 recovery routes; Interaction density on typical board ≈ 2–3 pieces (Number 38 negate, Galaxy-Eyes Cipher control, Xyz material detach removal)
• Provisional: Meta Power: Provisional (no tournament link or dated metagame sample supplied); Archetype meta-share in OCG: Unknown (tournament_context.available = false); Going-first vs going-second split unknown; inferred from hand-trap count and board-breaker absence; Post-side performance: Completely unknown (0 side deck)
• Data gaps: Maxx C illegality in OCG renders this deck unplayable as-is; structural evaluation null Zero side deck: no post-siding plan available for best-of-3; No combo boards supplied: all floor/median/ceiling estimates are text-only inference; No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; Critical core cards missing (Number 62 and C62): impact on true combo lines cannot be measured; Hand-trap count vs standard: unusually low (3 vs typical 4–6); impact on going-second reliability unclear vớiout meta context Critical choke points - Maxx C illegality makes deck non-functional in OCG
