Gouki Deck #56257 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon a high‑ATK Gouki Link Monster (e.g., Gouki The Giant Ogre) and attack for lethal damage; Board‑clear with Nibiru, the Primal Being or Raigeki to reset the field and then summon a Gouki finisher
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Gouki Suprex or Headbatt, trigger their search effects, then Link‑summon a Gouki Link monster while protecting with Infinite Impermanence
• Turn 2 (going second): Set multiple hand traps, use Nibiru or Ash Blossom to disrupt the opponent’s turn, then on turn two Link‑summon a Gouki boss monster
• Recovery: Use Gouki Re‑Match or Gouki Face Turn to bring back Gouki monsters from the GY, supplemented by searchers like Reinforcement of the Army
• After siding: No side deck; rely on hand‑trap disruption and flexible Extra‑Deck choices to adapt after side‑boarding

Why it scores here

The deck can reliably open a Gouki engine thanks to a very high chance of drawing at least one core card, and it has strong board‑breaking tools such as Nibiru and numerous hand traps. However, the inclusion of forbidden cards makes it illegal, and the main‑deck purity is low, causing inefficiency and a lack of side‑deck adaptation. Interaction is decent via Infinite Impermanence and removal spells, but the reliance on specific Gouki links and the illegal cards creates a serious choke point. Overall the system shows moderate combo potential but is hampered by legal and consistency issues, resulting in a low contextual power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Forbidden cards present (-6); Over copy limit (-4); No side deck (-2); Low archetype purity (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) - penalties for illegality

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Very high chance to draw a core Gouki starter
• Strong hand‑trap suite for going‑second disruption
• Robust extra deck with multiple high‑ATK Gouki links

Weaknesses

• Contains illegal forbidden cards, rendering the deck unplayable in the format
• Low deck purity and many off‑archetype cards reduce efficiency
• No side deck limits adaptability to opponent strategies

Critical choke points

• Reliance on forbidden cards (Isolde, Knightmare Gryphon) for key combos
• Heavy dependence on specific Gouki link monsters for win condition

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status and copy limits; card text excerpts for core Gouki cards; probabilities table
• Inferred: engine accessibility from hypergeometric probabilities; brick rate from core group absence; combo potential from link monster ATK values; interaction density from hand‑trap counts; resource economy from searcher counts; deck purity from composition spreads
• Provisional: matchup fit due to lack of tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
