Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Fusion and Link boards (Divine Serpent Apophis, Predaplant, Favorite HERO, Divine Scorpion) backed by Apophis trap-monster and Temple of the Kings engine (Inferred); Trap-based negation and removal (Solemn family, Mind Mirror Force, Verdict of Anubis) to win the board (Inferred)
  • Turn 1 (going first): Set Apophis/Temple traps, Treasures of the Kings and Man with the Mark to search, then Fusion/Link over a stable board (Inferred, text-only)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Solemn Strike) to stop the opponent's starter, then Divine Serpent or Predaplant on the open board (Inferred, text-only)
  • Recovery: Apophis trap-monsters and Treasures recur Set Apophis Traps from the Deck; Temple of the Kings is a single copy and is a choke point (Inferred)
  • After siding: No Side Deck (side_count 0); no post-side plan exists in this list (Verified)

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden in OCG) is run once, so the deck is scored for structure only and its final score is capped at 30. The engine is a real but thin one: 18 archetype-core cards give P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.96, but Temple of the Kings is a single copy and is a choke point. Interaction is the strongest part of the list, with four hand traps, several negation Traps and Solemn-family protection. Median output cannot be assessed because there are no recorded boards, so the combo floor is text-only and Inferred. Popularity was not credited: the Apophis archetype usage data only confirms the core cards are real, and exact-name purity is 9.1%. The score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and resilience, not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 68 P(>=1 core card in 5) ~0.96 across 18 archetype-core copies; Temple of the Kings single copy P ~0.13 in 5-card hand (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 60 Trap-heavy list (21 Traps, 9 Spells) with several Set-dependent starters and conditional Trap-activation requirements; brick risk moderate (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 No parseable recorded boards; ceiling inferred from Fusion/Link text (Divine Serpent, Predaplant, Divine Scorpion) only (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 combos_evidence reports zero scored combos; median cannot be measured, so score is conservative (Provisional)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Recursion via Apophis Traps and Treasures plus two independent starter families (Trap-monsters and Fusion) (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Treasures and Man with the Mark give search; Trap recursion sustains card flow, but no resource signature data exists (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 75 Four hand traps plus Solemn and Mind Mirror Force negation text, with Verdict of Anubis and Apophis negation for layering (Inferred semantic read)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 60 Going-second split not measured; Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Solemn Strike cover the opponent's turn, but 6-card hand gives little extra (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 60 Divine Serpent Apophis 2800 ATK, Predaplant Triphyoverutum 3000 ATK; closing depends on Fusion/Link access (Verified stats, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 55 40 main cards, 19 distinct, 3-copy core with 9.1% exact-name archetype purity; tech and off-archetype density is high (Inferred)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 55 15 Extra Deck slots, 13 distinct, mixing Fusion, Link and Xyz with no clear mandatory core; usage data conflicts on two Fusion and Link cards (Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 20 No Side Deck (0 cards); no post-side plan possible (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link and no dated metagame; Apophis archetype share unknown (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Set-and-activate timing, Fusion/Link material checks and multi-step Trap lines raise the decision load (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary, not separately weighted. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: Final = 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 54; Meta provisional; banlist exposure modifier -6 gives 48; Illegal cap sets final to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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 archetype density: 18 copies give about 0.96 chance of a core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
  • Four hand traps plus several negation Traps and Solemn protection give layered interaction (Inferred)
  • Multiple independent threat families (Trap-monster, Fusion, Link) reduce single-line dependence (Inferred)

Weaknesses

  • Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and makes the list Illegal (Verified)
  • No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
  • Exact-name archetype purity is 9.1%, so much of the deck is off-archetype tech (Verified)
  • No recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

  • Temple of the Kings is a single copy, and several Temple-linked cards depend on it (Inferred)
  • Fusion and Link Extra Deck access depends on Super Polymerization (2 copies) and Terraforming-style searches (Inferred)
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Triple Tactics Talent A legal Spell or Trap that fits the same tech slot Removes the Forbidden copy so the list becomes Legal; the deck cannot receive a normal score until this is fixed (Verified)
2 One off-archetype tech Trap or Spell A second Temple of the Kings-compatible card or an Apophis Trap Raises the Temple dependency and core density; the current single Temple copy is a choke point (Inferred)
3 None A Side Deck of 3 to 15 cards Post-side adaptation is absent; the deck has no answers for changed matchups (Verified)

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run 1 copy (Illegal); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 meet OCG size rules; Copy limits for Maxx C, S:P Little Knight, Terraforming and Super Polymerization are respected; Archetype purity 9.1% exact-name, from the evidence file
  • Inferred: Engine consistency P(core in 5) ~0.96; Interaction density from card text; Structural score 56 with Midrange weights; Going-first and going-second power estimates
  • Provisional: Meta Power is null; Matchup fit and tournament reliability
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only (combos_evidence total_combos 0) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck (side_count 0), so D12 is structurally low deck.title is null usage_statistics marks Divine Serpent Apophis, Silhouhatte Rabbit and Super Starslayer as not in deck, but they appear in the Extra Deck list; the usage join is inconsistent and was not relied on for their weight
