Secret Six Samurai Deck #760192 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Six Samurai Synchro and Link boards (Legendary Lord Six Samurai - Kizan, Enishi, Shi En) built from a Tuner plus Six Samurai non-Tuners, converting through battle-phase ATK boosts; Extra-Deck Xyz and Synchro payoffs (Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Virtual World Shell - Jaja) once the board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner or Six Samurai starter and search with Shien's Smoke Signal, Anarchist Monk or Tactical Trainer, then Synchro Summon Legendary Lord Six Samurai while holding Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Solemn Judgment for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence and Solemn Warning to stop the opponent's summons and set-ups, then rebuild the Six Samurai board from the hand or GY on the following turn
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Six Strike - Double Assault (special summon from GY), Legendary Lord Six Samurai - Kizan (banish Six Strike from GY to Special Summon) and Anarchist Monk or Tactical Trainer, which can Special Summon themselves from the hand while another Six Samurai is on the field
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG because it runs two Forbidden cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster and Naturia Beast), so it receives a theoretical structural read capped at 35 and not a normal contextual score. Structurally the system opens reasonably: 16 searcher-text cards and 12 hand traps give the Six Samurai engine several ways to go live, and the 12 hand traps and negation cards give strong interaction density, which lifts end-board interaction. The engine is fragile because the Six Samurai core is only about 47 percent of the Extra and Main lineup and the Extra Deck splits across three unrelated families, which limits median output. No side deck exists, so post-side adaptability is scored at its floor. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary, disclosed as a structural read only. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-15); Banlist exposure (-10); No side deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 50.6, then modifiers, then capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only, Meta Power provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Twelve hand traps and negation cards give dense, layered interaction in both turn orders
• Multiple self-special-summon routes from hand (Anarchist Monk, Tactical Trainer, Chamberlain) keep the engine live without a single choke card
• Six Samurai Synchro Legendaries carry ATK-boost effects that convert the board in the Battle Phase

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden cards make the list illegal in OCG as built
• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptability
• Engine is split across Six Samurai, Mulcharmy, Primite, Solemn, Artifact and Forbidden sub-archetypes, so the Six Samurai core is only about 47 percent of the list
• No recorded combos, win rates, or tournament data to confirm any consistency claim

Critical choke points

• The Six Samurai Synchro Summon requires a Tuner Six Samurai on the field, so losing the Tuner to a single removal or hand trap line stalls the board
• Shien's Smoke Signal and Tactical Trainer are the main searchers for the Tuner, so losing them early removes the route to Legendary Lord

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Two Forbidden cards (F.A. Dawn Dragster, Naturia Beast) are in the Extra Deck, and the deck is Illegal for OCG; Main Deck has 55 cards and Extra Deck has 15 cards, both within size rules; the side deck is empty; Copy limits for Limited and Semi-Limited cards are respected; Card text for the listed cards comes from the evidence excerpts
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show Six Samurai core cards are common in the archetype, which confirms the list is real and accessible but not strength
• Inferred: Consistency estimate: P(at least one searcher-text card in opening 5) about 0.83 from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density is high from 12 hand traps and 12 negation cards, a semantic read of card text; Engine breadth relies on multiple self-special-summon routes from hand
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because there is no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit and format fit (d13) are provisional with no tournament link
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null and the side deck is empty
