Egyptian God Deck #538304 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Egyptian God boss monsters (Obelisk the Tormentor, The Winged Dragon of Ra, Slifer the Sky Dragon) and Dark Magician Fusion/Link threats, with Quintet Magician as a single-copy finisher.; Dark Magician Fusion monsters (The Dark Magicians, Amulet Dragon, Dark Paladin) supported by Magician-themed recursion and searches.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or draw into Magician's Rod / Apprentice Illusion Magician / Dark Magician style starters and convert through Fusion or Ritual summons into a boss monster; the list has no combo data, so this route is theoretical.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Dark Magic Veil, Monster Reborn, and Monster Recovery as reactive plays to reach a boss monster; Obelisk and Slifer carry the board, but no hand traps are present to contest the opponent's first turn.
• Recovery: Monster Reborn, Magikuriboh, Dark Spell Regeneration and Millennium Revelation recur Divine-Beasts or Dark Magician cards from the GY; the recovery chain depends on the illegal copies being removed.
• After siding: No Side Deck is present (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in TCG: Magicians' Souls (3) and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon (2) are Forbidden, Linkuriboh is over its Limited cap, and the Extra Deck holds 16 cards, so the score is capped low and labeled theoretical/structural only. Its starter access is moderate: about 0.70 probability of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, but the Dark Magician core is thin at 2 copies (about 0.18 per opening hand). Its closing power is the strongest axis, with Obelisk, Winged Dragon of Ra, Slifer and Quintet Magician giving high end-board ATK, while the 30 level-0 Spells/Traps and 11.4% exact-archetype purity drag down consistency and efficiency. No combo recordings exist, so the combo and floor scores are inferred from card text, not measured boards. The archetype popularity data shows none of the core cards present, so no points were earned from popularity, and the score was computed on the deck as a system, not as an average of its card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 40.7, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 33, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*40.7 + 0.20*30 = 38.6, then banlist-exposure modifier -6 = 32.6 → 33; Illegal, so capped low and theoretical/structural only

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

• High end-board ATK and boss monsters (Obelisk, Ra, Slifer, Quintet Magician)
• Multiple recursion routes for Divine-Beast and Dark Magician cards
• Searcher density of 11 cards gives reasonable hand access

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and one over-limit Limited card, plus 16 Extra Deck cards
• No hand trap and no Side Deck
• Three archetypes overlap, so the engine is spread thin (11.4% exact-archetype purity)
• 30 level-0 Spells/Traps lower consistency

Critical choke points

• Egyptian God summoning requires Tributes and specific Divine-Beast cards; losing those cards to disruption stops the boss plan
• Dark Magician core at 2 copies or fewer is hard to find in an opening hand
