Legality
Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Recycle Horus monsters from the GY via King's Sarcophagus and close with 2500-3000 ATK bosses (Imsety, Horus the Black Flame Deity, Qebehsenuef); Extra Deck Link/Xyz bosses (Underworld Goddess of the Closed World, Number 38, Number 68)
- Turn 1 (going first): Walls of the Imperial Tomb or Witch of the Black Forest search, set King's Sarcophagus, then Special Summon a Horus monster from the GY
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, D.D. Crow) to stop the opponent's first board, then Sarcophagus recursion into Horus bosses
- Recovery: Re-summon Imsety, Duamutef or Qebehsenuef from the GY through King's Sarcophagus once it is face-up
- After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck and side_count is 0
Why it scores here
The deck's score comes from its system: King's Sarcophagus (3 copies, about 43% to appear in a 5-card opening hand) gates the GY recursion that powers Imsety, Duamutef and Qebehsenuef, and Walls and Witch add search that keeps that engine reachable. Interaction is layered across hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, D.D. Crow), Powersink Stone and the negation and removal text on the Extra Deck, which earns the interaction and going-second scores. Closing power comes from several 2500-3000 ATK bosses, but there are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median are inferred from text and capped at Provisional. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core is present in 99% of hands, which confirms accessibility rather than strength, and the score did not come from averaging card scores. The Extra Deck is mostly off-archetype (Knightmare, Galaxy-Eyes, Sanaphond, Magician), which costs Extra-Deck efficiency.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 66 | P(>=1 King's Sarcophagus in 5 cards) = 0.43; archetype core in 17 copies, P(open >=1) = 0.99; Walls searcher P(>=1) = 0.70 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 58 | Most Horus monsters need King's Sarcophagus in the GY-summon line, so hands without it are partly dead; 15 distinct Main cards, copy histogram 1x5 / 2x5 / 3x5 (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No parsed boards; ceiling inferred from Sarcophagus recursion plus 3000 ATK bosses and Extra-Deck negations (Inferred, text only) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No combos supplied, so median output is unmeasured and kept near the middle (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 60 | Three hand traps, Canopic Protector and Powersink Stone give alternate lines; Witch and Walls add search redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 62 | Sarcophagus returns Horus monsters from the GY and Witch/Walls recover card flow; no resource telemetry (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 68 | Powersink Stone, Droll, Nibiru and Extra-Deck negations (Galaxy-Eyes, Number 38, Underworld Goddess) give layered interaction; 3 negation and 6 removal text tags (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 64 | Hand traps and negations are useful going second; Droll, Nibiru and D.D. Crow all cover the opponent's first board (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 66 | Imsety and Horus the Black Flame Deity have 3000 ATK; Qebehsenuef 2500 ATK; Link and Xyz bosses add pressure (Verified stat, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 52 | 30 Main with 15 distinct cards; exact 'Horus' name purity only 15.4%, with 24 generic cards and Bystial/Knightmare/Prophecy spread (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 48 | 9 of 9 Extra slots used; Horus-specific Extra cards are absent, and Knightmare/Galaxy-Eyes/Sanaphond/Masquerena/Magician share little engine logic (Verified composition, Inferred fit) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 25 | Duel Links has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists and the score is set low (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 45 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype-level fit cannot be scored (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 55 | Multi-step Sarcophagus and GY-summon sequencing plus hand-trap timing; moderate decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.7, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Off-archetype Extra Deck (-2); Semi-Limited exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)
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
- Layered interaction: hand traps, Powersink Stone and Extra-Deck negations
- Sarcophagus recursion keeps GY-summoned bosses coming back
- Accessible: archetype core present in almost every opening hand
Weaknesses
- Off-archetype Extra Deck dilutes the engine
- Low exact-name Horus purity (15.4%)
- No recorded boards, so median and ceiling are inferred
Critical choke points
- King's Sarcophagus (3 copies, about 43% to be in an opening hand of 5)
- Imsety and Horus the Black Flame Deity both need the Sarcophagus engine live
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dark Magical Curtain x1 | Hapi, Guidance of Horus x1 (verify card text before adding) | Curtain is Prophecy-archetype and off-engine; Hapi appears in 55.8% of archetype decks per usage stats, so it is a standard Horus support card that is missing here |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal in duel-links: 30 Main (20-30), 9 Extra (0-9), 0 Side; Bystial Druiswurm at 2 copies equals its Semi-Limited cap; Archetype core (Qebehsenuef, King's Sarcophagus, Duamutef, Horus) present per usage stats
- Observed: Usage stats: 22 archetype stat rows, with 8 of 20 core cards present
- Inferred: Hypergeometric draw probabilities; Semantic read of negation, removal and recursion text; Strategy classification as Midrange with Toolbox secondary
- Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup fit (D13); Median and floor output (D4)
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups or brick rate Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export
