Fire King Deck #704397 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Fire King (Master Duel) — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board control via Fire King destruction loops and Extra Deck bosses (Garunix Eternity, Promethean Princess); Super Polymerization / Promethean Princess beatdown and recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Activate Fire King Island/Sanctuary, summon Ponix/Ulcanix, destroy to search, make Garunix Eternity or Promethean Princess with disruption from Dominus/Ash
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps and board breakers (Sky Burn, Super Poly) to clear and combo into FIRE links
• Recovery: Fire King monsters recur from GY via Standby Phase effects and Sanctuary protection
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards) so best-of-3 post-side plan absent

Why it scores here

The deck is a Fire King / Snake-Eye hybrid combo engine that can open with Island, Ponix, or Ulcanix to destroy and search, aiming for boards with Garunix Eternity and Promethean Princess plus Dominus Impulse disruption. Consistency is high on paper (P(core starter) ≈ 0.998 inferred) but the list is illegal in Master Duel because Fire King High Avatar Kirin is run at 3 vs semi-limited 2, so this evaluation is theoretical only and the final score is capped low. No recorded combos were supplied, so ceiling/floor are text-inferred, not averaged from card scores. Popularity of Fire King does not earn points; the system's resilience via recursion is decent but side deck is absent, limiting tournament reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal deck (0). Final formula: Illegal deck (over copy limit): no normal Final Contextual score; capped low theoretical/structural-only per guardrail

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 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

• High opening consistency with many Fire King starters (P≈0.998 inferred)
• Recursion and protection via Sanctuary and Standby Phase revivals
• Strong interaction layer with Dominus Impulse, Arvata, Ash, Super Poly

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count of Fire King High Avatar Kirin (3 vs 2)
• Zero side deck limits best-of-3 adaptability
• Missing several meta core Extra Deck cards (e.g., Garunix Eternity not in deck despite 100% usage)

Critical choke points

• Kirin over limit makes deck illegal in Master Duel
• No side deck (0 cards) prevents post-side plans

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with Kirin over limit; Card text excerpts for all listed cards; Banlist statuses (Limited/Semi-Limited) from Master Duel field; Usage statistics showing core cards 100% inclusion; Extra Deck breakdown 10 Link/3 XYZ/2 Fusion
• Inferred: Consistency probability P(core starter)≈0.998 from hypergeometric; Combo ceiling/floor from card text only (no parsed boards); Resilience via recursion and redundant destruction triggers
• Provisional: Matchup format fit without dated metagame sample
• 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 win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
