Simorgh Deck #669697 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute Summon and attack with a 2700-2900 ATK boss (Simorgh, Snowl, Empen, Raiza) once the Floowandereeze engine has put it on the field; Simorgh of Darkness / Simorgh, Lord of the Storm as a large non-Tribute threat through Dark Simorgh's GY/hand recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Floowandereeze searchers and Normal Summons toward a Tribute Summon boss; the list has no deck-specific T1 combo, so the plan is theoretical (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-based interaction (Dimension Shifter is illegal here) is unavailable; the realistic plan is Simorgh/Dark Simorgh recursion plus Floowandereeze searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers (17 searcher-text cards) and GY recursion from Dark Simorgh and Simorgh of Darkness provide some rebuild capacity (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG (two Forbidden cards are run), so it receives a capped theoretical score rather than a normal contextual one. Structurally, the Floowandereeze searcher package (17 searcher-text cards and a 0.93 chance of at least one searcher in an opening five) gives it a real resource engine, and the Simorgh and Floowandereeze bosses at 2700-2900 ATK give it closing power. The engine is split: only 4 of 43 main cards carry the exact Simorgh archetype name and 24 are Floowandereeze, so the Simorgh and Floowandereeze lines do not share a clean core, and the deck runs an Anti-Spell, Greed and Monarch tech mix alongside them. There is no recorded combo data, so floor, median and ceiling cannot be separated by evidence and all three are scored low on Inferred reads. Popularity did not earn points, and the score was not produced by averaging individual card scores; the cap and modifiers reflect the illegal list and the engine conflict.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary (≈85%) with Toolbox secondary (≈15%); the weights used are the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in main) (-10); Engine conflict (split archetype core) (-5). Final formula: Illegal-deck cap: 0.80*Structural(41) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 40, then context modifiers (-15) = 25; theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• Searcher density (17 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of finding a starter
• Boss ATK of 2700-2900 across Simorgh, Snowl, Empen and Raiza gives real end-board pressure
• Dark Simorgh and Simorgh of Darkness recursion adds some grind

Weaknesses

• The deck is illegal in OCG because of two Forbidden cards
• Engine split: 39 of 43 main cards are off the Simorgh archetype name
• No Extra Deck and no Side Deck, so no adaptability or Extra-Deck coverage
• Dead-draw risk from tech and off-plan cards (Slifer, Pot of Duality, Free-Range Monsters)

Critical choke points

• Any hand without a Floowandereeze searcher or a Tribute Summonable boss stalls the engine
• Illegal list: the deck cannot be played in OCG until both Forbidden cards are removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Harpie's Feather Storm and Dimension Shifter are Forbidden and run at 1 copy each; Main 43, Extra 0, Side 0; archetype exact-name purity 9.3%; Hypergeometric starter odds: 3-copy P(≥1 in 5 cards) = 0.3164
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick rate are estimates from the copy histogram and card text; Closing power from boss ATK and piercing text; Interaction density from removal and negation text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13): no tournament link or dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first/second and matchup rates are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional and null because no dated metagame sample was supplied No Side Deck and no Extra Deck in the export
