Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Graveyard-summon Horus boards (Imsety, Hapi, Qebehsenuef, Duamutef, Horus the Black Flame Deity) enabled by King's Sarcophagus, converting into 2500-3000 ATK bodies and Xyz/Link pressure; Knightmare Phoenix and Coach King Giantrainer chip damage and board pressure off a Horus base
  • Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Walls of the Imperial Tomb or Horus search, set up King's Sarcophagus to enable GY Special Summons; use Canopic Protector / Droll & Lock Bird / D.D. Crow as interaction while holding the enabler
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, D.D. Crow, Canopic Protector) to break the opponent's opening, then GY-summon a Horus monster off Sarcophagus on the following turn
  • Recovery: Walls of the Imperial Tomb searches a Horus monster each Main Phase; Sarcophagus recycles Horus monsters from the Deck to the GY to refuel summons
  • After siding: No side deck in this list (0 cards); post-side adjustments are not available in Duel Links evidence

Why it scores here

The Structural score comes from the Horus system as a whole: King's Sarcophagus (3 copies, about 0.43 chance of at least one in an opening hand of 5) is the single engine enabler, Walls of the Imperial Tomb (2 copies) searches Horus monsters, and the Horus bodies provide 2400-3000 ATK pressure, so the deck has a usable plan when the enabler is found. Interaction is real but thin: Canopic Protector, Droll & Lock Bird and D.D. Crow give three hand-based answers, and Photon Jumper and Bystial Druiswurm add conditional disruption. Consistency is capped by bricks: Lava Golem (3 copies) can only be Special Summoned by tributing two monsters the opponent controls, and Dark Magician of Destruction and Super Starslayer TY-PHON in the Extra Deck look uncastable from the main-deck list, which lowers the Extra Deck and efficiency scores. No combo boards were recorded, so ceiling and median are text-only inference and carry low weight. Popularity did not earn points: the Horus archetype is a stable, common build, and the usage-statistics 'in_this_deck' flags for Extra Deck cards conflict with the cards list, so they were not used to raise any score. The score was not computed by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 60 P(≥1 King's Sarcophagus in opening 5) ≈ 0.43 for 3 copies, Walls adds search redundancy; enabler access is moderate (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 40 Lava Golem x3 needs opponent-controlled tributes and is a likely dead draw; Horus monsters without Sarcophagus are weak openers (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 50 No recorded combo boards; ceiling from card text only: GY-summon Horus loop with 3000 ATK bodies (Inferred, text-only)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No recorded boards; median output estimated as a single Horus summon per turn after the enabler lands (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Sarcophagus protection, Walls recursion and three hand-based interruptions give some route redundancy (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 Walls searches and Sarcophagus Deck-to-GY fuel refill the GY engine each turn (Inferred, card text)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 Canopic Protector, Droll & Lock Bird, D.D. Crow, Bystial Druiswurm and Photon Jumper give several interaction points; no negation in the Main Deck (Inferred, text flags)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 50 Going-second split not recorded; hand-trap density helps challenge a board, but board-breaking depends on Horus summons (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Horus bodies 2400-3000 ATK and Knightmare Phoenix link 2 give closing pressure; no direct-damage engine (Inferred, stats)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 50 30 Main slots over 15 distinct cards with 20.5% exact-Horus purity; 19 generic and 3 D.D. copies dilute the engine (verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 35 Extra Deck breakdown is 3 Link, 5 XYZ, 1 Fusion; Dark Magician of Destruction requires a Dark Magician monster absent from the Main Deck, and TY-PHON requires two Level 12 materials that the list does not run (Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 35 No Side Deck (0 cards); no post-side plan is possible in this list (verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 50 No tournament or meta-share data; format fit is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Multi-step GY-summon lines with once-per-turn limits and Sarcophagus timing require careful sequencing (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 49. Modifiers: Unusable Extra-Deck cards (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51.75 + 0.20*49 - 3 ≈ 48

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

  • Engine enabler plus two-card searcher redundancy (Sarcophagus and Walls)
  • Three hand-based interruptions at different timings (Canopic Protector, Droll & Lock Bird, D.D. Crow)
  • Horus bodies with 2400-3000 ATK give closing pressure
  • Legal list with no copy-limit violations

Weaknesses

  • Lava Golem x3 is conditional and likely dead on an empty opposing field
  • Dark Magician of Destruction and TY-PHON are likely uncastable Extra-Deck cards
  • Exact-archetype purity is 20.5%; many generic slots dilute the engine
  • No Side Deck

Critical choke points

  • King's Sarcophagus in hand: the GY engine is off without it, and the Walls field-name path only helps once Walls is already on the field
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Dark Magician of Destruction Extra-Deck card that is castable with the list's Level 8 Horus bodies Its Dark Magician material requirement is not met by the Main Deck
2 Lava Golem x3 Horus or generic searcher/hand-trap card Lava Golem needs the opponent to control two monsters before it can be Special Summoned
3 Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis Level 8 Xyz or Link option that the list can actually use Two Level 12 materials are not available in the list

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legal list: 30 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side within Duel Links size rules; Copy limits satisfied for Limited (Coach King Giantrainer x1) and Semi-Limited (Bystial Druiswurm x1, Photon Jumper x1) cards; Hypergeometric probabilities from the resolved list; Exact-archetype purity 20.5%
  • Inferred: Midrange primary strategy from card text and archetype structure; Consistency estimates from King's Sarcophagus hand probability; Dead-card reads for Lava Golem, Dark Magician of Destruction and TY-PHON from card text plus composition; Interaction density from card text flags
  • Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample supplied)
  • 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Usage statistics mark Extra-Deck cards in this deck as in_this_deck=false, which conflicts with the cards list and extra_deck_breakdown; the usage-based core-present percentage (55.6%) is likely understated and was not used for scoring Guide evidence has an empty snippet and no sections, so the guide adds no strategic content Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
