Skull Servant Deck #558582 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Skull Servant graveyard engine (King of the Skull Servants, Wightprince, The Lady in Wight) feeding Horus / Zombie / Link and Xyz pressure; Link and Xyz boss monsters (Imsety, Zombie Vampire, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord) with negate and removal text
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Wightbaking / Moissa Wight / Wightlord searchers, search into King's Sarcophagus and Horus monsters (text-based, Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Destructive Daruma Karma Cannon or Black Goat Laughs to reset or restrict the opposing board, then rebuild from the GY (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recurse Skull Servant pieces from the GY via King of the Skull Servants and Wightprince text, and Zombie World regeneration (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck count is 0 in the export

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG because it runs 1 copy of Triple Tactics Talent, which is Forbidden, so it is scored only as a theoretical, structural read and capped at 25. The structural read (about 54) comes from the system: a searcher-dense Skull Servant engine with a high chance of hitting a searcher in the opening hand (about 0.72), a near-complete archetype core (about 0.96 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card hand), and recursion through the graveyard. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype appears in usage stats, but that only confirms the list is real, and the recorded-combo floor and median are unmeasured. No card scores were averaged; the score comes from consistency, recursion, and closing power on the whole system. The Extra Deck is fully used with Link, Xyz and Synchro bosses, but there is no side deck and no tournament or match record.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); illegal_list_cap (-14). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 51 before modifiers; capped at 25 as theoretical-only (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density gives a high chance of a starter in the opening hand (about 0.72)
• Near-complete archetype core (about 0.96 in hand5) and 3-copy consistency on the main engine pieces
• Graveyard recursion gives several restart routes after disruption
• Full Extra Deck of Link, Xyz and Synchro bosses with 2800–3000 ATK options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG
• No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are unmeasured
• 24 non-monster main slots and several situational cards (Daruma, Black Goat Laughs, Transaction Rollback) add dead-draw risk
• No side deck and no hand traps or floodgates

Critical choke points

• Any build that keeps Triple Tactics Talent is illegal until it is removed
• Lines rely on the graveyard Skull Servant pieces, so early graveyard disruption removes recovery options

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status from Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden, 1 copy run); Main 60 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0; Card stats and text from the resolved card list; Archetype usage stats: Skull Servant typical 3 copies, deck runs 2
• Inferred: Consistency: searcher and core hypergeometric estimates (0.72 and 0.96); Engine and recursion reads from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from text; Interaction density read from removal and negate text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Combo floor and median (no recorded boards); Post-side plan (side deck is empty)
• 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 this deck (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed Deck title is null in the export Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
