• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon multiple Link/Fusion monsters to establish layered interaction and board control; Grind through resource advantage and recovery to outlast opponent
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Mulcharmy/Diabellstar starters to build Orcust Link board with Galatea-I/Galatea/Enlilgirsu, setting Traps for disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Leverage Ash Blossom, hand traps, and board-breaker spells (Lightning Storm, Forbidden Droplet) to clear opponent board, then pivot into combo lines
• Recovery: Banish/GY recursion via Orcust Harp Horror, Orcust Knightmare, and Orcust Cymbal Skeleton to extend plays; Azamina recursion for follow-up pressure
• After siding: No side deck present; limited adaptive capacity post-match

Why it scores here

This Sinful Spoils hybrid reliably opens a starter (~86% P(≥1 in opening 5)), but the median board is constrained by split engine coherence (missing key Azamina Fusion monsters) and interaction layering that depends heavily on hand-trap draws and Trap setup. The deck converts starters into functional boards with Orcust Link recursion and Mulcharmy draw effects, enabling resource recovery through multiple turns. Going first, it establishes 2–3 negations or disruption pieces; going second, it leverages six-card hands for removal and board-breaker access. Critical weaknesses are the absence of a side deck (no post-match adaptability), low offensive ceiling without Azamina Fusions, and vulnerability to interruption of early Girsu or Diabellstar plays. Popularity and archetype stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but did not earn score points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: No side deck (-4); Missing core Azamina Fusions (-3); Split archetype focus (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Consistent starter access (~86% P(≥1 in opening 5))
• Robust hand-trap lineup (10 copies across Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock) for disruption
• GY recursion engines (Orcust Harp Horror, Knightmare, Cymbal Skeleton) enable 2–3 independent lines per turn
• Flexible removal suite (Lightning Storm, Forbidden Droplet, Dominus Spark/Impulse) for going-second plays
• Searchers (11 copies) float resources and smooth draws
• Mulcharmy draw effects (Fuwalos, Purulia) generate card advantage in extended games

Weaknesses

• No side deck eliminates post-match adaptability; critical in best-of-3 format
• Missing both core Azamina Fusions (100% inclusion rate in meta) reduces ceiling and payoff consistency
• Split engine focus (Orcust + Mulcharmy + Azamina) creates conflicting synergies and bricks (e.g., Girsu Normal Summon blocks Mulcharmy)
• Median board (1–2 Links + 1–2 searches) lower than archetype optimum due to incomplete Azamina core
• Offensive pressure minimal: no piercing, no direct damage, only Borrelsword/Enlilgirsu closers
• High complexity with multiple recursion loops increases pilot error risk
• Garnet risk from Orcust Knightmare and Orcust Cymbal Skeleton when drawn in wrong game state

Critical choke points

• Early interruption of Diabellstar or Girsu activation blocks most first-turn lines
• Ash Blossom on any searcher (WANTED, Orcustrated Babel) significantly reduces resource float
• Mulcharmy engine requires opponent to summon to generate card draw; powerless against passive boards
• No alternative win condition if combo stall is broken; grind plan vulnerable to tempo loss
• Orcust Link materials tight: only 2 Galatea-I, single Galatea-II creates bottleneck in extended plays

• Observed: Archetype meta-share context available but no dated metagame sample; tournament link absent
• Inferred: Engine consistency: P(≥1 starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.856 from hypergeometric; 17-copy archetype core; Brick rate: ~8.7% full brick estimate from composition; Combo ceiling: inferred ~66 PowerIndex from card text (missing Azamina Fusions limits payoff); Combo floor/median: inferred ~58 PowerIndex; no parsed boards available; Interruption resilience: ~2–3 independent lines via Orcust recursion; estimated score 62; Resource economy: estimated +1 to +2 card advantage over 2–3 turns via Mulcharmy draws and searchers; Endboard interaction density: inferred ~2.5 disruptions (Dominus Spark/Impulse, Crescendo, Crown negate-text); Going-second power: 6-card hand quality with removal suite (Lightning Storm 2×, Forbidden Droplet 2×, Impermanence 3×); inferred ~62; Offensive pressure: only Borrelsword 3000 ATK and Enlilgirsu 2600 ATK as closers; no piercing or direct damage; inferred ~54; Pilotability: moderately complex combo chains (~5–7 steps); Orcust recursion and Mulcharmy triggers require sequencing; inferred ~56
• Provisional: Meta Power: null; archetype real and accessible (Sinful Spoils hybrid + Orcust recently emerged), but no dated sample supplied; Matchup coverage: unknown without metagame data
• Data gaps: No combo boards parsed; combo floor, median, and ceiling are 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 and brick rates are estimated from composition No side deck present; post-match performance and adaptability unknown No dated metagame sample; Meta Power cannot be calculated, remains Provisional
