• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Six Samurai board of Level 4 or lower monsters feeding Shien-line Extra Deck bosses (Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En, Legendary Lord Six Samurai - Shi En, Shadow of the Six Samurai - Shien) and Great Shogun Shien; Secret Six Samurai Fusion (Rihan) and Chaos Angel / Colossal Fighter as non-Six-Samurai boards, with Battle Shogun link extension
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Tactical Trainer or Anarchist Monk, use Shien's Smoke Signal or Tactical Trainer to search a Six Samurai, then build a second Six Samurai to enable Special Summons and Shien-line Synchros
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-based Special Summons of Kizan, Enishi and Kageki plus Ash Blossom or Ghost Mourner to protect the first board; Asceticism and Six Strike - Double Assault to strip a blocker
• Recovery: Graveyard Six Samurai revival via Shien's Dojo, Temple of the Six, Double-Edged Sword Technique or Legendary Secret of the Six Samurai, and Enishi's banish-cost Special Summon
• After siding: No side deck is registered; no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This is a 50-card Main Deck with 15 Extra Deck cards, but it is illegal in TCG: Rivalry of Warlords, Abyss Dweller and Naturia Beast are Forbidden and each is run at 1 copy, so the deck cannot be played as built. The structural read is a Six Samurai midrange shell with a Shien-line Synchro/XYZ finish, and the starter density (18 searcher-text cards, about 90% to have at least one searcher in an opening 5) earns credit for consistency. Combo evidence is absent (0 parseable boards), so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and are scored low. Archetype popularity and usage statistics confirm the core is real, but they do not raise the score, and card scores were not averaged. The final score is capped at 20 because the deck is Illegal, and it is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: balanced. Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); illegal_cap (-7.8). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*41 + 0.20*35 = 39.8, minus banlist modifier -12 = 27.8, then capped at 20 for an Illegal list (structural-only; no normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• 18 searcher-text cards give a high chance to find a Six Samurai starter in an opening hand
• Compact archetype-heavy core with 42 Six Samurai copies and recognised revival and search routes
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link, XYZ and Fusion with several high-ATK bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 Forbidden cards are run and must be removed before any play
• Only 2 exact-name archetype copies, so the Six Samurai core is spread over many names
• No Side Deck registered, so post-side adaptability cannot be scored
• No combo evidence, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards must be removed before the list can be played in TCG
• Shien-line Extra Deck bosses depend on a second Six Samurai monster on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards are run at 1 copy each (legal_copies 0); Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 falls inside the TCG size rules; Gateway of the Six and Monster Reborn are run within their Limited copy limit; Archetype usage statistics show the core cards are real and widely played
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5 cards) is about 0.905 from the hypergeometric table; Revival and recovery routes give moderate resilience to one disruption; Going-second hand-based Special Summons are likely the main board-breaking route
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit require a dated metagame sample; Side deck adaptability is unknown because no Side Deck is registered
• 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 Side Deck registered (side_count 0) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
