Egyptian God Deck #536159 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 26/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Egyptian God bodies (Obelisk, Slifer, Ra) and Dark Magician fusions/links converting board presence into 3000-4000 ATK attacks; the list is only theoretical because it is illegal as built.; Raigeki and Dark Burning Magic style board wipes followed by a large Extra Deck attacker.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Dark Magician-line monsters with Magician's Rod, Apprentice Illusion Magician and Magicians' Souls (illegal copies), then Polymerization or Dark Magician fusion to reach a 2500-3000 ATK body. Without Forbidden copies this line is thinner.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Raigeki, Thunderforce Attack, Harpie's Feather Duster and Forbidden Droplet; use Monster Reborn or Millennium Revelation to recover a God or Dark Magician.
• Recovery: Monster Reborn (1 legal copy), Dotscaper, Ankuriboh and Monster Recovery are the only recursion; recovery depends on Monster Reborn, which is Limited.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play is not supported by this list as built.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal as built: three Forbidden cards (Magicians' Souls x3, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon x2, Secret Village x2) and a Limited Linkuriboh x2 are over the copy limit, and the Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a limit of 15, so it receives a theoretical, structural-only score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Its starter access is moderate: 10 searcher-text cards give about 65% odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, but the 2-copy archetype core is only about 18%. Interaction is the strongest area, with Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Thunderforce Attack, Forbidden Droplet and negation text across the main and Extra decks. Median output is weak because the Egyptian God bodies need tributes or Altar-style support that the list does not carry, and recorded combo boards are absent, so every combo claim is text-only inference. Popularity was not credited, the Egyptian God core is only 2 of 25 usage-stat core cards present, and the score is not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 39, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist and copy-limit exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal: theoretical/structural-only. 0.80*Structural(39) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(25) = 36.2, then context modifiers -10 = 26. Meta provisional; not a normal Final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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

• Interaction density: Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Thunderforce Attack, Forbidden Droplet and Fist of Fate
• Searcher density: 10 searcher-text cards give about 65% odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand
• Large Dark Magician fusion and link finishers (The Dark Magicians, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Gaia Saber, Underworld Goddess)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden copies, Linkuriboh over its Limited cap, and an Extra Deck of 16
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Egyptian God bodies need tributes or Altar-style support that the list does not carry
• Archetype core is largely absent (2 of 25 usage-stat core cards)

Critical choke points

• Monster Reborn (1 legal copy, Limited) is the only dependable recursion for a God or Dark Magician
• Polymerization (1 copy) is the single Fusion enabler for most Extra Deck fusions
• The Extra Deck overflow means one card must be cut before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Forbidden copies run and Extra Deck size of 16 against a 15-card limit; Hypergeometric draw odds for 1, 2 and 3 copies; Usage stats: 2 of 25 core cards present, 8% core presence; Side Deck count is 0
• Inferred: Starter and brick odds (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates); Interaction quality from card text (Inferred); Combo ceiling and floor are text-only inference because no boards were recorded
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament_context)
• 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/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null No side deck registered
