Orcust Deck #730651 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Orcust — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Establish Orcust Link board with negation and removal (Crescendo, Orcustrion, Dingirsu); Beatdown with high-ATK Orcust bosses (Orcustrion 3000, Dingirsu 2600)
• Turn 1 (going first): Use GY feeders (Grepher, Armageddon Knight, Scrap Recycler) to summon Galatea/Longirsu and set Orcust Crescendo for negation
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps (Ash, Impermanence, Maxx C) and board breakers (Harpie's Feather Duster, Cosmic Cyclone) then combo into Orcust links
• Recovery: Recur from GY via Orcust Harp Horror, Cymbal Skeleton, Brass Bombard, and Babel recovery
• After siding: No side deck present (0 cards) – no post-side adaptation possible

Why it scores here

This Orcust list is evaluated as theoretical/structural-only because it is Illegal in Master Duel (Allure of Darkness at 3 vs limit 1, Maxx "C" at 3 vs semi-limit 2), so it cannot be played as submitted. The underlying engine shows high opening consistency (core P(open)≈0.94 inferred) and decent combo conversion via Orcust Link monsters and Dingirsu, but missing many meta core extra-deck staples and having no side deck lower its practical power. The capped low score of 22 reflects illegality and inability to compete, not an average of individual card scores, and archetype popularity/meta-share earned no points. No combo telemetry exists, so floor/ceiling are text-inferred only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 20. Modifiers: Illegal copy limits (-36). Final formula: Illegal deck: normal Final Contextual score not applied; capped low per rubric (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High theoretical opening consistency for Orcust core (P≈0.94)
• Good hand-trap density (9 copies) for interaction
• Recursion from GY via multiple Orcust monsters and Babel

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on Allure of Darkness and Maxx "C"
• No side deck (0 cards) limits best-of-3 adaptation
• Missing several meta core extra-deck cards per usage stats (e.g., I:P Masquerena, S:P Little Knight)

Critical choke points

• Allure of Darkness over Limit 1
• Maxx "C" over Semi-Limit 2
• Zero side deck for post-side plans

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal; Card text excerpts from evidence; Banlist statuses (Limited/Semi-Limited); Main/Extra/Side counts (40/15/0)
• Inferred: P(open core)=0.9354; Hand trap group P=0.8082 going second; Brick proxy 0.0646; Combo ceiling from card text only
• Provisional: Matchup coverage D13 (no dated meta 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
