Monarch Deck #648559 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Monarch Spell/Trap searcher chains into Tribute Summons of 2400-2800 ATK bosses (Zaborg, Erebus, Eidos, Caius, Raiza) to overwhelm the board; Eidos and Zaborg field-based removal followed by a Tribute Summon finish; Extra Deck contributes little because most Extra Deck cards lack materials in this list
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Monarch searchers (Eidos the Underworld Monarch, Edea, Tessera, Tenacity or The Monarchs Masterplan) to find a Tribute Summon boss, then clear the opponent's field with Zaborg or Caius
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched and Double Cyclone to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Monarch searchers and Tribute Summons
• Recovery: Recover Spell/Trap Monarchs from the Graveyard via The Prime Monarch and Pantheism of the Monarchs, then re-search the boss monster
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on its structure, not as an average of its cards. Its searchers (22 copies of searcher-text cards, about 93% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand per the hypergeometric estimate) give it a reliable path to a Tribute Summon boss, and removal and hand-trap text (21 removal, 5 hand-trap cards) gives it a real interaction layer. Conversion is unmeasured: there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. The Extra Deck is largely dead in this list, since the 8 Jurrac Synchro monsters have no Dinosaur materials in the Main Deck and the Lunalight, Cyber Dragon and Xyz-dependent Fusions lack their materials, so Extra Deck efficiency scores very low. The list is Illegal (Called by the Grave is Forbidden; Droll & Lock Bird is run at 2 copies against a limit of 1), so the score is capped at 25 and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only. Popularity and archetype identity did not earn points, and no archetype-standard core is present in the list (2 of 25 core cards).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); dependence on dead Extra Deck cards and engine conflicts (-6); illegal list cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*43 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 30, then capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• Dense searcher text (22 copies) gives high probability of at least one searcher in the opening hand
• Strong Tribute Summon bosses (Zaborg, Erebus at 2800 ATK; Eidos, Caius, Raiza at 2400 ATK)
• Layered interaction: removal text on 21 cards and 5 hand traps

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Called by the Grave is Forbidden and Droll & Lock Bird is over its Limited copy count
• Extra Deck is largely unusable: 8 Jurrac Synchros have no Dinosaur materials in the Main Deck
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low archetype-standard core (2 of 25 core cards present)

Critical choke points

• Tribute Summon of a 2400+ ATK boss depends on a Monarch Spell/Trap chain; disruption to the chain stalls the whole plan
• Going second, 45% of hands have no hand-trap answer to the first board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within size rules (Main 40-60, Extra 0-15, Side 0-15); Called by the Grave is Forbidden in the TCG banlist and is in the Main Deck; Droll & Lock Bird is Limited (1 legal copy) and 2 copies are run; Foolish Burial and Reinforcement of the Army are Limited (1 copy each) and 1 copy each is run; Copy histogram and type/attribute/race spread are as stated in the evidence pack
• Observed: No recorded combos or boards exist for this deck
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates (searcher text 0.93; per-card 0.25); Extra Deck usability: Jurrac Synchros have no Dinosaur materials in the Main Deck; Dimension scores for Engine, Brick, Interaction and Pilotability are estimated from card text and composition; Ceiling and median are text-only inference (no combos)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup/format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Tournament reliability (no win-rate telemetry)
• Data gaps: Deck title is null No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists (going-first/second, matchup, starter/brick rates) Usage statistics list mostly non-Monarch core cards (2 of 25 present), so archetype-standard comparison is weak No Side Deck, so post-side scoring has no basis Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
