Superheavy Samurai Deck #760477 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Superheavy Samurai Extra Deck boards (Brave Masurawo, Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair, Dragunity Lord - Georgius) built from Superheavy Samurai Machine/Pendulum bodies, with Scarecrow and Borreload as the intended high-pressure finishers (both Forbidden, so they cannot be run as listed).; Dragunity and Qliphort Extra Deck pressure, plus Nibiru as a 5-monster-summon punisher.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Superheavy Samurai starters (Wagon, Prodigy Wakaushi, Motorbike) to search and Special Summon into Extra Deck link/synchro boards while keeping Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre up as hand traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Superheavy Samurai Soulpiercer and Big Benkei searches.
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY through Scales, Stealthy and Soulpiercer-style searches, plus Monk Big Benkei's GY-to-hand and Special Summon effects.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

This list cannot be scored as a normal legal deck: three Forbidden cards (two Superheavy Samurai Scarecrow, one Borreload Savage Dragon, one Baronne de Fleur) are over the OCG copy limit, so the result is capped and labeled theoretical/structural-only. Ignoring those illegal slots, the system reliably opens an engine: the archetype core is present in 98% of opening 5-card hands (Inferred), and 12 searcher-text cards give about 85% access to a searcher in the opening hand. Interaction is dense for a midrange shell, with 8 hand traps and 6 negation-text cards. The score is not driven by Superheavy Samurai's popularity (the usage stats only confirm the core is real) and is not an average of the card scores. There are no recorded combos, no side deck, and no tournament data, so combo conversion and matchup fit rest on text and probability inference and carry a wide band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55.7, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal cap (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 54.6, then -12 banlist-exposure modifier = 42.6, then the Illegal cap applied = 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always accessible in the opening hand (≈0.98 Inferred).
• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage for a midrange shell (8 hand traps).
• Extra Deck closers with high ATK and recursion (Brave Masurawo, Areadbhair, Georgius).

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden cards make the list illegal in OCG as built.
• No side deck, so there is no way to adapt between games.
• Archetype purity is low (23.6% exact name), so the engine depends on generic and cross-archetype cards.

Critical choke points

• Superheavy Samurai starter bodies (Wagon, Wakaushi, Motorbike) are the only route into the Extra Deck boards.
• Two Forbidden closers (Scarecrow, Borreload) are the main pressure cards and cannot be legally run.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; three Forbidden cards over the OCG limit.; Card text and archetype composition from the evidence pack.; Archetype core usage: Prodigy Wakaushi and Motorbike in 83% of recorded lists.
• Observed: Guide snippet describes Superheavy Samurai as a fast, Spell/Trap-light board archetype.
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only).; Dimension scores D1–D11 and D14 from card text and composition.; Going-first and going-second power estimates.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit, lacking a dated metagame sample.
• 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/second, matchup or brick rates. No side deck registered, so post-side performance is unknown.
