Identity & game plan

Win condition: Fusion OTK via Flame Swordsman fusions; Value stall / board control through negation and removal
Turn 1 (going first): Play defensive hand, set/interrupt, establish Fusion material, swing with Ultimate Flame Swordsman or Salamandra board.
Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps vs first-turn setups, answer key cards, rebuild into board control or secondary Fusion path.
Recovery: Return/Searchers to refill resources, use hand traps and backrow to stall and outvalue.

Why it scores here

The deck aims for a Flame Swordsman Fusion OTK but is inconsistent due to brick risk and missing key supports. It shows above-median combo ceiling and light interaction, yet struggles with hand quality and resource continuity. The score reflects a functional but fragile engine that can reach strong turns yet frequently stalls.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	55	Archtype core present 19/40 cards (48%) with 96.9% T1 live rate from hand5, but brick risk remains (Inferred).
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	45	30.9% hand5 brick proxy; 6-card hand in second increases draw variance (Inferred).
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	70	Best line reaches high damage via Ultimate Flame Swordsman/Salamandra board (Inferred).
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	50	Median output limited by inconsistent searcher flow and missing key enablers (Inferred).
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	50	Negation exists but redundant restart paths are light; disruption can lock the engine (Inferred).
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	45	Resource signature leans on value stalls and limited recursion; float potential moderate (Inferred).
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	60	Multiple negation/removal tools and 6 hand-traps provide layered disruption (Inferred).
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	55	Going-second plan supported by hand traps and backrow control, yet breaker density is light (Inferred).
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	65	2800 ATK finisher plus board control suggests strong closing power (Inferred).
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	55	Deck is fusion-centric with 21 distinct main cards; extra slots dilute focus (Inferred).
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	60	Extra deck covers Fusion/Synchro but lacks alternate access, relying on few key cards (Inferred).
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	30	Side deck is minimal (0 cards), offering no adaptation path (Verified).
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	40	Archetype meta-share noted, but no dated metagame sample prevents formal fit rating (Provisional).
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	50	Combo steps are moderate; decision points are present but complexity is manageable (Inferred).

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

Strong fusion engine with multiple finishers
Good negation and removal coverage
Above-average T1 live rate from core

Weaknesses

Brick risk on 3-card starters
Missing key support cards (Mereologic Aggregator, Wind Pegasus, etc.)
Side deck is empty, limiting adaptability

Critical choke points

Dependence on specific fusion material paths
Limited redundancy in searcher flow
No post-side plan recorded

Recommended changes

Priority	Remove	Add	Reason
1		Mereologic Aggregator, Wind Pegasus @Ignister, additional hand traps or draw	Improves consistency, reduces brick rate, and adds redundancy

Evidence & confidence

Verified: Legality: Legal with limits (Verified); Side deck: Empty (Verified)
Inferred: Consistency, combo ceiling/floor, and interaction estimates derived from card text, probabilities, and composition (Inferred)
Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit require a dated metagame sample (Provisional)
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 win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
