G Golem Deck #472136 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Xyz/Link mechanics
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira Shangri-Ira / Link and Xyz extra-deck boards built from Kashtira searches and Special Summons (Inferred from card text); Dark Armed, Mecha Phantom Beast Dracossack, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kashtira starter; Kashtiratheosis or Kashtira Birth into a Kashtira Level 7 body, then Xyz into Shangri-Ira. Forbidden Fenrir and Limited Unicorn cannot legally be run as listed, so this plan is theoretical only.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler and Nibiru to interrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Kashtira searches (Inferred from card text and hand trap counts).
• Recovery: Recursion from Kashtira Birth, Kashtiratheosis and Kashtira Preparations banish-and-summon effects, plus Scareclaw Kashtira from GY or hand (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: it runs 3 copies of the Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir, Forbidden Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent and Dimension Shifter, and 3 copies of Ash Blossom (2 legal) and Kashtira Unicorn (1 legal). Under the rubric's legality rule it cannot receive a normal Final score, so the 25 is a capped, theoretical structural read. The structural read rests on a Kashtira engine with a 0.59 chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 13 hand traps (0.81 chance of one going second). Interaction density is good on paper, but the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured because no boards were recorded. The G Golem archetype label does not match the list: the exact-name purity is 1.4% and the list is mostly Kashtira-based. The score comes from the system's consistency and interaction on paper, not from G Golem popularity or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal_list_cap (-4). Final formula: Theoretical/structural-only for an Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural(43) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 41.4, then modifiers -12 and -4 = 25.4, rounded to 25; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.41 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense interaction: 13 hand traps, 15 negation-text and 29 removal-text cards
• Strong extra-deck bosses with real ATK (2800-3000)
• Kashtira engine has recursion through Birth, Kashtiratheosis and Preparations

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 6 copy-limit or banlist violations, including 3 Forbidden Fenrir
• No side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan
• Archetype label G Golem does not match a list that is mostly Kashtira (purity 1.4%)
• Extremely high off-archetype spread (71 copies) makes engine coherence weak

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Riseheart and Ogre are the only non-Forbidden Level 7 Kashtira bodies; losing them to Ash Blossom or Impermanence leaves the engine short
• Shangri-Ira requires two Level 7 monsters, so the Extra Deck line depends on the Main Deck Kashtira bodies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 6 violations (3 Forbidden Fenrir, 1 each for Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Dimension Shifter, plus Ash Blossom and Unicorn over limit); Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0; size is within the OCG rules; Extra Deck: 8 Xyz and 7 Link monsters; Exact-name archetype purity 1.4%; No side deck, no combo records, no tournament link
• Observed: No recorded boards exist for this deck
• Inferred: Kashtira is the real engine, not G Golem; Hypergeometric starter and brick estimates (0.59 archetype core, 0.41 proxy brick); Hand-trap interaction density is high on paper; Going-second interaction is the stronger side
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck list, so D12 and post-side plan are unmeasured
