Simorgh Deck #730263 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 46/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 4 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Harpie Lady engine and Simorgh / Dark Simorgh / Number 39: Utopia board presence, backed by a dense set of removal and negation spells and traps.; Synchro and Xyz boss monsters (Black Rose Dragon, Blackwing Armor Master, Utopia) reached through Blackwing and Genex tuners.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon a Harpie Lady engine piece (Elegant Egotist or Harpie Queen), then add board presence and use removal such as Bottomless Trap Hole, Icarus Attack or Mystical Space Typhoon to clear the opponent's threats.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Bottomless Trap Hole and Monster Reborn to answer the opponent's first summon, then convert with a Simorgh or Utopia.
• Recovery: Recover through Pot of Avarice, Pot of Duality and Harpie Queen searches, and revive Simorgh or Dark Simorgh from the Graveyard.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck's strongest system is its interaction suite: three Solemn cards, two Bottomless Trap Holes, two Icarus Attacks, two Mystical Space Typhoons and a Compulsory Evacuation Device give it answers to most summons and backrow, and this is the main reason the structural score sits above the middle of the scale. Its engine is fragmented, though. Harpie Lady, Blackwing, Genex, Mist Valley, Rose Dragon and Simorgh pieces share the list with only 3 exact Simorgh cards and 4.8% exact-name purity, so the Harpie starters reach a hand on the opening draw only about 24% of the time for any single three-copy card (Inferred). Floor and median output are not measurable from the supplied combos, which are absent, so the score relies on card text and probabilities. The deck runs no side deck, which costs points in D12 and in the post-side modifier. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted, since the archetype usage statistics show none of the core cards present. Card scores were not averaged or summed; the score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: no side deck (-3); engine dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample): 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 - 5 = 46.4, rounded to 46

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Layered interaction suite with three Solemn cards, two Bottomless Trap Holes, two Icarus Attacks and two Mystical Space Typhoons
• Several high-ATK boss monsters across Simorgh, Utopia and the Synchro/Xyz extra deck
• Searcher and recursion density (Harpie Queen, Pot of Duality, Pot of Avarice, Simorgh revival)
• Legal in OCG with every restricted card run at or below its limit

Weaknesses

• Engine is fragmented: 4.8% exact-name purity across Harpie, Blackwing, Genex and Simorgh
• Low single-card starter access (0.24 for three-copy cards in opening 5)
• No side deck registered, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Large number of situational spells and traps (Phoenix Formation, Hunting Ground, Call of the Haunted) raises brick risk

Critical choke points

• Elegant Egotist and Harpie Lady Sisters both need a Harpie Lady on the field
• Simorgh Tribute Summon needs WIND monsters on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal OCG list: 58 main, 4 extra, 0 side; all restricted cards within copy limits; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype spread: Harpie 18, Blackwing 6, Genex 3, Simorgh 3, Mist Valley 2; Usage statistics show no core cards present
• Inferred: Starter access 0.24 for three-copy cards in opening 5; Interaction quality from card text (D7 = 74); Brick risk from situational spells and traps; Floor and median output estimated from text (no combos); Going-first and going-second scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Format fit D13 held at neutral 50
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck in the list, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
