Orcust Deck #674472 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Orcust link-board pressure built from Galatea, Enlilgirsu, Longirsu and Dingirsu, with Diabellstar, Zombie Vampire and Azamina bodies as larger finishers (text-inferred; no recorded combos); Mulcharmy draw-and-hand-advantage lines plus Number 90 and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon as Extra Deck boards (Dragoon is Forbidden in this format and cannot be legally played)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Orcust Harp Horror, Girsu, Diabellstar or Mulcharmy starters and build a link board, keeping Ash Blossom and Droll in hand as protection (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then use Mulcharmy draws to recover (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects, Foolish Burial and Orcustrated Babel recursion, and Diabellstar or WANTED searches to rebuild from the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export has no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck's archetype core is well represented (18 Orcust-family copies; P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.86, Inferred), so it usually has a starter. Its interaction density is high, with 14 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards, which drives the strongest scores (D7, D8). Pressure comes from a wide Extra Deck (8 Link, 3 Xyz, 4 Fusion) with large finishers, but no recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median are text-inferred and held near the middle. Main-deck efficiency is weak: only 16.7% of cards carry the exact Orcust name, and the list is spread across Mulcharmy, Sinful Spoils, Azamina, Mekk-Knight and tech cards. The deck is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse and WANTED, 2 of Droll, and 3 Forbidden cards, so it receives a capped score and is theoretical only. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage statistics confirm the core is real but were not counted as strength, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (meta-neutral: D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 95). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + ContextModifiers(-6) = 48; Illegal-deck cap applied → 30 (theoretical/structural only, not a normal Final score). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite supports both going-first and going-second interaction
• Archetype core is well represented (16 copy-counted core cards, 18 total copies), so starters are accessible
• Diverse Extra Deck finishers (Link, Xyz, Fusion) give several closing routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: over-limit Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, WANTED and Droll, plus three Forbidden cards
• Low exact-archetype purity (16.7%) suggests an unfocused list of tech and splash cards
• No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptation is absent
• No recorded combos, so the combo floor and ceiling cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Azamina Ilia Silvia and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon remove Extra Deck options until replaced
• Limited/Semi-Limited copy counts force removals that may thin hand-trap and starter density

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; seven violations and Forbidden/Limited/Semi-Limited statuses; Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts within size rules; Archetype core usage: 16 core cards tracked, 8 present; Exact-archetype purity 16.7%
• Inferred: Consistency estimate P(≥1 core in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.86; Hand-trap and negation breadth read from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text and roles
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Combo median and ceiling (no parseable boards)
• 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 side deck registered (side_count 0) No win-rate telemetry — going-first/second, matchup, brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
