Orcust Deck #452973 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck and Main Deck bosses at 2500-3000 ATK (Draco Berserker of the Tenyi, Dogoran, Nibiru, Sorciere/Sauge de Fleur, Dingirsu, Chevalier de Fleur), reached through Synchro, Link and XYZ summons plus Special Summon effects from hand and GY.; Orcust GY banish loops (Harp Horror, Cymbal Skeleton, Knightmare) that re-summon Orcust monsters and feed Galatea, Longirsu and Dingirsu.
• Turn 1 (going first): Inferred from text: open a 3-copy starter (Sauge de Fleur, Sorciere de Fleur or Scrap Recycler), build a Synchro or Link with Necro Synchron or Jet Synchron as the Tuner, and keep Effect Veiler for the opponent's turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Inferred from text: hold Nibiru or Effect Veiler (about 61 percent to have one in a 6-card hand), negate or banish the opponent's first big play, then rebuild with the Fleur or Orcust engine.
• Recovery: Inferred from text: GY revival and banish effects (Glow-Up Bulb, Jet Synchron, Orcust Harp Horror x2, Orcust Cymbal Skeleton) return monsters to the field; Scrap Recycler and Sauge recur cards from the GY.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs 0 side cards in this single-duel format, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a plan reasonably often: three different 3-copy starters (Sauge de Fleur, Sorciere de Fleur, Scrap Recycler) each reach the opening five 43 percent of the time, and seven searcher-text cards give at least one search in 76 percent of opening hands. Its strongest scores come from closing power (several 2500-3000 ATK bosses) and interruption resilience (four hand traps plus GY revival effects), so it can keep going after a disruption. Its weakest scores are main deck coherence (only 20.5 percent exact Orcust purity across 12 other named sub-archetypes) and brick risk (Life Extreme and Durendal each need a single narrow target). No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-inferred and carry low weight. Archetype popularity earned no points, and the score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Midrange + 0.30 Combo; D13 dropped and weights renormalized over 95.6 (meta-neutral, no dated metagame). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: engine conflicts and sub-archetype spread (-4); dead-card burden (-2); hand-trap density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; structural = 5102.6 / 95.6 = 53.4, meta-neutral)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

• Several 2500-3000 ATK bosses across Main and Extra (Dogoran, Nibiru, Draco, Chevalier, Dingirsu)
• Four hand traps (Nibiru x2, Effect Veiler x2) give interaction on the opponent's turn
• Six Tuners give broad Synchro access, and GY revival adds restarts
• Legal list with all cards Unlimited and no copy-limit violations

Weaknesses

• Exact Orcust purity 20.5 percent; the engine is spread across 12 named sub-archetypes
• No recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Life Extreme needs an EARTH Synchro (only Braver Dragon) and Durendal needs a FIRE Warrior (only Boost Warrior)
• Three-copy starters reach the opening 5 only 43 percent of the time

Critical choke points

• Sauge, Sorciere and Scrap Recycler are the only T1 starters, and each is 43 percent in an opening 5
• Synchro access depends on the Tuner group (Necro Synchron x2, Jet Synchron, Effect Veiler x2, Glow-Up Bulb); the Fleur Synchron name is Necro Synchron's on-field name (text)
• Life Extreme and Durendal each depend on one specific monster in the deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 30 Main and 9 Extra, within Duel Links size rules; All cards Unlimited under BanDuelLink with no restricted cards; Copy counts, archetype purity 20.5 percent, zero side cards; Boss ATK values from card data
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, searcher and hand-trap probabilities; Dead-card and choke-point reads from card text; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta-share data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics mark Longirsu, Galatea, Dingirsu and Knightmare Unicorn as in this deck:false, but they are in the Extra Deck list; core-card coverage (20 percent) is likely understated Deck title is null, so the name is unavailable
