Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Build a Six Samurai board with Synchro bosses (Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En, Legendary Lord Six Samurai - Shi En) and hand traps to control opponent's plays; Grind game via resource recycling (Grandmaster, Daigusto Emeral) and field advantage through Bushido counters
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish engine consistency with Kageki/Tactical Trainer/Anarchist Monk; search Shien's Smoke Signal and Gateway; build Synchro board and set hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Artifact Lancea, Ghost Belle, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) to disrupt opponent's plays; leverage Mulcharmy effects to draw cards when opponent summons
• Recovery: Recursion via Grandmaster, Cunning of the Six Samurai, and Daigusto Emeral; grind resources back with Shien's Dojo Bushido counter management
• After siding: Unknown — no Side Deck supplied (0 cards); unable to evaluate best-of-3 adaptation

Why it scores here

This Six Samurai list struggles with fundamental structural issues that prevent it from operating as a cohesive deck. While the core engine (Kageki, Kizan, Tactical Trainer, Anarchist Monk) reliably becomes live thanks to strong probability (99.17% P[≥1 starter in 5]), the deck fails at conversion: it lacks consistent Synchro summon targets, runs only 8 Extra Deck Synchros for a high-tuner count, and has no documented combo lines to establish what a functional board looks like. The 54-card Main Deck (overcrowded and non-standard) and 16-card Extra Deck (illegal in OCG) create brick risk and inconsistent combo access. Additionally, the deck is missing nine core cards (64% core present), includes contradictory engines (Mulcharmy draw effects conflict with the Six Samurai tuner focus), and has no Side Deck for post-sideboard adaptation. Hand traps provide going-second interaction, but without reliable board-break tools and explosive pressure, the deck cannot recover through realistic disruption. Popularity and archetype familiarity did not earn points; the score reflects the system's inability to execute reliably.
