Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Build a World Legacy/Orcust engine that locks the opponent with Orcust Link monsters and interaction, then grind or close with synergy pieces.; Fusion Summon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon or Dark Magician of Destruction for removal + protection; recur Orcust pieces for resource advantage.
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Orcust starters (Cymbal Skeleton, Harp Horror, Girsu) to establish Orcust Link monsters (Galatea, Enlilgirsu, Longirsu), set up Orcustrated Babel for QE recursion, layer hand traps and negation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia to draw from opponent's summons; use hand traps (Ash, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt, then pivot into combo pieces; leverage Forbidden Droplet and board breakers.
• Recovery: Recursion via Orcust banish effects (Cymbal Skeleton, Harp Horror, Knightmare from GY); Galatea-I searches World Legacy from deck/GY; Orcustrated Babel acts as QE recursion engine.
• After siding: No side deck supplied; assumes tuning of hand traps and tech choices between games.

Why it scores here

This World Legacy/Orcust hybrid opens a functional core engine with 95.9% consistency for a starter, driven by 13 of 19 archetype-core cards present and strong hand-trap density (14 copies) for T2 interaction. The deck builds boards with Orcust Link monsters (Galatea, Enlilgirsu, Longirsu) that lock down searchable effects and recursion, supplemented by Shining Sarcophagus synergy (Dark Magician Girl, Gandora-G) for removal and follow-up. However, the combo evidence is absent, so the median output, resistance to disruption, and true ceiling remain inferred from card text and structure alone—likely moderate, as the deck has no single explosive line but instead grinds through interaction and recursion. Mulcharmy pieces enable going-second draw triggers, and a dense hand-trap suite supports adaptation. The deck is hampered by 57 cards (above the 40-card ideal, inflating brick risk despite high starter P), missing critical Extra-Deck staples (I:P Masquerena, Galatea-I, S:P Little Knight), and no secondary grind-out or closing plan if the board is cleared. Popularity or archetype meta-share did not earn points; the score reflects the system's consistency, interaction breadth, and evident construction trade-offs.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 67, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Extra-Deck gaps (-3); 57-card main deck inflation (-2); No side deck supplied (-2). Final formula: 0.80 * Structural (61) + 0.20 * TournamentReliability (54) + Modifiers = 58 (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

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 core-engine consistency (95.9% P for an Orcust/World Legacy starter); 13/19 archetype-core cards present with strong redundancy.
• Dense hand-trap suite (14 copies: Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre, Droll, PSY-Framegear Gamma) supports going-second adaptation and disruption.
• Orcust recursion engine (Orcustrated Babel QE, multiple banish effects) allows turn-by-turn resource regeneration and grind sustainability.
• Fusion synergy (Shining Sarcophagus → Dark Magician Girl Apprentice → payoff monsters like Dragoon/Dark Magician of Destruction) adds removal and board protection.
• Mulcharmy draw triggers (Fuwalos, Purulia) reward opponent summons, enabling card advantage in interactive games.

Weaknesses

• 57-card main deck (above 40-card ideal) inflates brick risk despite high starter P; inconsistent opening hands from conflicting summon paths.
• Critical Extra-Deck gaps: I:P Masquerena, Galatea-I, S:P Little Knight (all 100% core staples) missing; limits flexibility and Link Summon recursion.
• No high-impact ceiling without combo data; median output estimated as moderate grind-focused, not explosive combo.
• Limited going-second closing power; deck is primarily disruptive/grind-focused, not designed to OTK through boards.
• Single recovery choke point: if Orcustrated Babel is removed or blocked, recursion engine falters; Galatea-I absence prevents alternate QE recycling.
• No side deck supplied; post-side resilience and best-of-3 adaptation unknown.

Critical choke points

• Orcustrated Babel on field or in GY is critical for QE recursion; if banished or destroyed before setup, turn 2+ grind suffers significantly.
• Shining Sarcophagus field presence required for Gandora-G summon and synergy payoff; if removed, Shining Sarcophagus chain loses momentum.
• Lack of I:P Masquerena limits Link Summon flexibility during opponent's Main Phase; reduces dynamic board adaptation.
• No named alternative board-breaker (S:P Little Knight missing) reduces going-second removal consistency against established boards.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal (no banlist violations, size within range, all restricted cards at legal copies); Main-Deck composition: 57 cards, 29 distinct, 13 three-ofs, 2 two-ofs, 14 one-ofs; Extra-Deck: 15 cards, 9 Link, 3 Fusion, 3 XYZ; 13 of 19 archetype-core cards present (68.4%); 6 missing (I:P Masquerena, Galatea-I, S:P Little Knight, Enlilgirsu, Dingirsu, Galatea); Hand-trap suite: 14 copies (Ash ×3, Infinite Impermanence ×3, Nibiru ×3, Ghost Ogre ×2, Droll ×2, PSY-Framegear Gamma ×1); Orcust starters: Cymbal Skeleton ×3, Harp Horror ×3, Girsu ×3, Knightmare ×1 (7 total); Shining Sarcophagus synergy: DMG Apprentice ×3, Shining Sarcophagus ×1, Future Silence ×3, Gandora-G ×1 (5 total)
• Observed: Archetype usage-stats available: World Legacy 68.4% core present, Orcust-heavy hybrid confirmed
• Inferred: P(≥1 Orcust/World Legacy starter in T1 hand) ≈ 95.9% (from 26-copy core group + 57-card deck size); Full-brick estimate ≈ 4.1% (complement of starter P); Best-line combo ceiling estimated ~68–72 PowerIndex: Orcust starters → Enlilgirsu steal + recursion, Longirsu removal, Galatea lock + Orcustrated Babel setup, layered with Forbidden Droplet negation; Median combo output estimated ~62 PowerIndex: reliable T1 Orcust Link + Orcustrated Babel + one hand trap, without explosive extension; Going-first power ~67: strong core setup, interaction layering, but no secondary grind chain if board breaks; Going-second power ~62: Mulcharmy draw triggers + hand traps (83% P for ≥1 in 6-card hand), but limited board-breaker coverage without I:P/S:P Little Knight; Recovery sustainability: moderate via Orcust banish effects and Galatea-I (absent, would improve significantly); one turn of QE recycling per Orcustrated Babel presence; Tournament reliability ~54: 95.9% consistency for T1 starter, but 57-card bloat, hand-trap variance, and missing core Extra-Deck pieces reduce resilience after disruption
• Provisional: Meta Power: null — no dated metagame sample supplied; World Legacy/Orcust archetype meta-share unknown in current TCG environment; Matchup-specific performance: unknown without tournament context or recorded sideboard results; Post-side adaptation: unknown (side deck count = 0)

No tournament link; archetype meta-share, pilot match record, and format positioning unknown (tournament_context.available = false). No side deck (side_count = 0); post-side resilience and best-of-3 adaptation cannot be assessed. No win-rate telemetry (not available in YGOVN for most decks); brick rate, starter rate, going-first/second split, matchup coverage are Inferred or Unknown.
