Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Tri-Brigade and Ancient Warriors board pressure converted through Link Summons of Tri-Brigade Shuraig, Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II and Ancient Warriors Oath - Double Dragon Lords, with Ancient Warriors - Rebellious Lu Feng as a high-ATK closer.; Hand-trap-supported attrition: hand traps and negation text trade one-for-one and let the Link Monsters attack late.
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open with Ancient Warriors Saga - Three Visits or a Tri-Brigade monster, then Normal Summon a Level 4 or lower monster and link into a Tri-Brigade Link Monster. Probability of at least one Three Visits in a 5-card hand is about 0.25 per copy group (Inferred).
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru and Droll against the opponent's first activations, then recover through Tri-Brigade graveyard banishes. Probability of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand is about 0.84 (Inferred).
  • Recovery: Tri-Brigade Hammer and Tri-Brigade Kerass banish from the graveyard to Special Summon Link Monsters from the Extra Deck, rebuilding the board after a single interruption.
  • After siding: Not supported: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its Tri-Brigade Link engine, Ancient Warriors bodies and graveyard banish recursion give it a plausible midrange route to large Link Monsters such as Shuraig (3000 ATK) and Bucephalus II (3500 ATK). Its 14 hand traps and about 24 negation or removal effects give it real interaction density, especially going second. Those strengths are cut back by 70 off-archetype copies (only 0 exact-name Ancient Warriors cards), a 56 percent chance-based brick risk on the core and 14 hand traps competing for the same hand slots, and no side deck. The deck is Illegal: it runs 2 Forbidden cards and copy counts above the OCG limits, so it is capped at 25 and labelled theoretical and structural only. Its archetype popularity was not credited: the archetype usage data confirms the list is real, not that it is strong, and no tournament or win-rate data exists to lift the score.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 45 Ancient Warriors Saga - Three Visits 3 copies: P(at least one in 5-card hand) = 0.25 per copy group; archetype core P(open at least one) = 0.56 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 35 14 hand traps and about 24 tech or removal-text cards compete for slots; 0.44 proxy brick rate for the core set (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 50 No recorded boards; ceiling from card text only: Shuraig 3000 ATK and Bucephalus II 3500 ATK Link Monsters are reachable through Tri-Brigade banishes (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 35 No recorded boards; median output is unknown and estimated low because most extra-deck link routes need several specific materials (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 50 Three hand traps (Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Infinite Impermanence) and two Tri-Brigade recursion routes give independent lines after one disruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 45 Graveyard banishes from Tri-Brigade Kitt, Kerass and Hammer recycle resources; no grind or float data exists (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Droplet, Anti-Spell Fragrance, Harpie's Feather Duster and Lightning Storm give layered end-board interaction (Inferred semantic read from card text)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 60 Going-second hand-trap coverage is high (0.84 for at least one of 14 hand traps in 6 cards); no matchup data exists (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Shuraig 3000 ATK, Bucephalus II 3500 ATK and Rebellious Lu Feng 2800 ATK give strong closing stats (Verified card stats)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 Main Deck is 55 cards, inside the 40 to 60 range, but 70 of 55 main-deck copies are off-archetype and copy limits are exceeded (Verified count)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 55 Extra Deck: 15 cards, all Link Monsters, with 11 distinct cards and a mix of Tri-Brigade and generic routes (Verified count)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 5 Side deck is empty (0 of 15 slots used); no post-side plan can be scored (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link and no dated meta sample; format fit is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Multi-step Link Summon routes with graveyard banish costs and several decision points per turn (Inferred)
