G Golem Deck #391976 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira boards (Shangri-Ira, Unicorn, Fenrir) backed by Link and Xyz pressure from the Extra Deck, if the list were legal; Xyz and Link beatsticks (Divine Arsenal, Dark Armed, Red-Eyes Flare, Utopic Draco) converting a stalled board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kashtira searcher or starter (Riseheart, Birth, Kashtiratheosis) and convert to a Kashtira Level 7 Xyz while holding hand traps for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Kashtira Birth recursion
• Recovery: Kashtira Birth banishes and re-summons Kashtira monsters from the GY; Pressured Planet Wraitsoth and Kashtira searchers refill the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan at all

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards and four Limited or Semi-Limited cards are run over their legal copy counts, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read and the final score is capped at 25. The structural read (about 49) comes from the system itself: the Kashtira core (12 copies, about 72% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) gives reasonable starter access, and 17 hand traps plus 26 removal-text cards give dense interaction (Inferred from text). Brick risk is high: 25 distinct Main Deck cards include many tech and situational spells that do not continue a line, and the Side Deck is empty. No recorded boards, tournament record, or guides exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and the floor is unknown. The score was not built by averaging card scores, and the Kashtira archetype's popularity earns no points by itself because the usage stats only confirm the list is real and accessible.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (structural weights from Midrange profile; no Stun blend applied). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); illegal_list_cap (-15). Final formula: Structural 49 (Midrange weights); Final pre-cap = 0.80*49 + 0.20*42 = 48, minus banlist-exposure modifier 8 = 40; Illegal list capped at 25 (theoretical/structural-only, no normal contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage (17 hand traps, 11 negation text)
• Kashtira searchers and Kashtira Birth give recursion and starter redundancy
• Strong Level 7 and Xyz closing bodies in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards and four copy-limit overruns
• High brick risk from 25 distinct Main Deck cards with many tech slots
• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan
• Extra Deck mixes unrelated archetypes (Kashtira, Link, Xyz) with low engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn are central searchers; both are illegal or over-limited, so the line cannot be run as listed
• Hand-trap dependence on Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll copies that exceed legal counts

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Forbidden status on 5 cards and Limited or Semi-Limited status on 4 cards in the list; Kashtira Shangri-Ira, Divine Arsenal and Red-Eyes Flare stat lines; Kashtira core group is 12 copies with 83% of core cards present in usage stats
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access (about 0.72 for core group); Going-second hand-trap density (about 0.90); Brick risk from tech-heavy Main Deck; Interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format position (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 record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck present, so no post-side evidence No guides attached for G Golem or Kashtira
