Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Temple of the Kings and Apophis engine into Divine Serpent Apophis, Divine Scorpion Beast of Serket and Predaplant fusion boards (theoretical, text-only); Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis and Anubis the Last Judge beatdown (theoretical)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Temple of the Kings or Apophis trap via Treasures of the Kings / The Man with the Mark, then Special Summon Apophis or Merciless Scorpion and Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Solemn Strike, Solemn Accusation, Infinite Impermanence, Mind Mirror Force and Verdict of Anubis as interaction, then rebuild through Apophis traps (Inferred)
• Recovery: Apophis the Serpent and Apophis the Swamp Deity recursion from GY via Divine Serpent Apophis; Treasures of the Kings reset (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens its engine reliably on paper: the archetype core group has about 0.90 probability of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and Treasures of the Kings and The Man with the Mark search the Temple/Apophis package (Inferred). Its ceiling depends on the Apophis trap chain into a fusion board, which the evidence shows only as card text, with no recorded boards, so the conversion and median scores are Inferred and kept moderate. Interaction is dense (about 17 negation and 19 removal text hits, 4 hand traps), which supports the end-board and resilience scores. The deck is Illegal because Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG, so the score is capped to a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core is present, but no tournament or meta data exists, and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-5); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 52 before modifiers; capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Core engine has high access: archetype core group ≈ 0.90 in opening hand (Inferred)
• Dense negation and removal coverage across traps and hand traps (Inferred from text)
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 3000 ATK (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG (Verified)
• Only 20% exact-name archetype purity; many off-archetype and generic trap slots (Verified)
• No side deck, so no adaptation (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Apophis trap set and Temple of the Kings field activation, both required for the fusion route (Inferred)
• Triple Tactics Talent removal is required before the list can be legally played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden with 1 copy run; 40 main / 15 extra / 0 side; Card text and stats for all listed cards; Archetype core inclusion statistics
• Inferred: Opening-hand access and brick estimates; Interaction quality from text counts; Going-first and going-second plans; Ceiling and median combo output from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG and makes the deck Illegal no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no side deck, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
