Identity & game plan

Win condition: Synchro/Link beatdown through Karakuri and Superheavy Samurai boards (Karakuri Super Shogun, Karakuri Steel Shogun, Infinitrack Tunneller) (Inferred); Fiendsmith and Ancient Gear Link/Xyz follow-ups from the Extra Deck (Inferred)
Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a searcher (Superheavy Samurai Motorbike, Karakuri Merchant, Ancient Gear Box) to fetch an engine piece, then Synchro into a Karakuri boss (Inferred)
Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Droll to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Karakuri Gama and Superheavy Samurai Wagon (Inferred)
Recovery: Searchers and recursion from the GY (Superheavy Samurai Stealthy, Soulgaia Booster, Destiny HERO - Plasma) to rebuild a Tuner base (Inferred)
After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: four cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom, Soulpiercer, Droll & Lock Bird) or are Forbidden (Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon), so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped low and not a normal Final Contextual score. Its 17 searcher effects (about 84% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) give reasonable starter access, and the Karakuri and Superheavy Samurai cores plus Synchro and Link fodder give a credible Extra Deck engine. Consistency is held back by a 57-card main deck with only 13 exact-archetype copies (18.1% purity, 59 off-archetype copies across about 14 sub-archetypes), which spreads the engine across unrelated pieces and raises brick risk. No combos, usage statistics, guides or tournament data were supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences, and no points were earned from popularity or meta-share. The score was not produced by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	55	P(at least one of 3 copies of a searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.24 per copy, aggregate searcher group ≈ 0.84; core-engine coherence is weakened by sub-archetype spread (Inferred)
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	40	Off-archetype sprawl (59 of 72 main-deck copies) and 14 one-copy cards create conflicting hands and dead draws (Inferred)
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	45	No parseable combo boards; ceiling is inferred only from card text such as Synchro chains into Karakuri Super Shogun and Link Monster searches (Inferred)
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	40	No recorded boards, so the median output cannot be measured; inferred as modest from brick risk (Inferred)
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	50	16 Tuners and multiple recursion and search effects give some redundancy, but the deck has no independent second line in the evidence (Inferred)
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	45	Recursion and search text is present (Superheavy Samurai Stealthy, Soulgaia Booster, Gear Gigant X), but no resource signature is recorded (Inferred)
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	55	Eight hand traps and nine negation-text cards (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll, Regulus, Fiendsmith's Desirae) give layered interaction, but the Forbidden Crystal Wing and over-limit copies count against it (Inferred)
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	45	Going-second board breaking depends on negation and removal text (Archfiend Eccentrick, Karakuri Super Shogun) with no combo data to confirm it (Inferred)
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	50	Ends on Karakuri Super Shogun (3000 ATK), Regulus (2800), Steel Shogun (2800) and A Bao A Qu (2800), a real but unverified closing range (Inferred)
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	35	57 main-deck cards with 30 distinct names and eleven 3-copy slots is bloated and not compact (Inferred)
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	55	14 distinct Extra Deck cards with Synchro, Link, Xyz and Fusion coverage and a mix of archetypes; mandatory-slot count not measured (Inferred)
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	10	No side deck (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability is effectively absent (Verified)
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	40	No tournament link and no dated meta sample; Karakuri meta-share is not supplied (Provisional)
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	45	Multiple sub-archetype engines and a 57-card main deck imply a high decision count, but the step-by-step examples are absent (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts / sprawl (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), 0.80*45 + 0.20*35 = 43, then context modifiers -11 = 32; illegal-deck cap applied (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

17 searcher effects give reliable first-hand access to engine pieces (Inferred)
8 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards give layered interaction (Inferred)
Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link, Xyz and Fusion with boss-level ATK (Verified from card stats)

Weaknesses

Illegal in OCG: four copy-limit or Forbidden violations (Verified)
Low exact-archetype purity (18.1%) spreads the engine across sub-archetypes (Verified)
No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified)
57-card main deck is bloated with 11 three-copy slots (Verified)

Critical choke points

Forbidden Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon in the Extra Deck is a hard illegality that would have to be removed before the deck is playable
Over-limit Ash Blossom and Droll compete for the same hand-trap slots

Recommended changes

Priority	Remove	Add	Reason
1	Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon (Forbidden)	Any legal Synchro boss in the Karakuri or Superheavy Samurai family	Forbidden cards cannot be run in OCG, so this is the mandatory fix before any power score is meaningful
2	One copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Superheavy Samurai Soulpiercer	Legal-count staple or a side-compatible replacement	Brings both cards to their Semi-Limited limit of 2
3	One copy of Droll & Lock Bird	A second Karakuri searcher or engine piece	Droll is Limited to 1 copy; the extra copy is a dead draw in most hands
4	Off-archetype one-copy cards	Exact-archetype Karakuri or Superheavy Samurai copies	Raises purity and reduces brick risk; the sprawl is the main consistency problem

Evidence & confidence

Verified: Illegal status: four cards exceed legal copy limits or are Forbidden (OCG BanList); Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0, sizes within 40-60 / 0-15 legal ranges; Exact-name archetype purity 18.1% (13 of 72 copies); 17 searchers, 8 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards as counted in composition
Inferred: Midrange primary strategy and Tempo/Toolbox secondary, from the Extra Deck mix and interaction count; Starter access ≈ 0.84 for searchers in a 5-card opening hand (hypergeometric); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Brick risk from off-archetype sprawl
Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; Matchup fit and format fit (D13) lack tournament data
Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No archetype usage statistics, so core and meta-standard comparison is unavailable No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null and no side deck is present
