Egyptian God Deck #765732 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira and Red-Eyes board pressure, closed by Kashtira Arise-Heart, Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon (3400 ATK) and Red-Eyes Darkness Metal / Flare Metal Dragons; Egyptian God Ra Sphere Mode control swing via Triple Tactics Talent and Max Metalmorph / Red-Eyes Fullmetal line
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Kashtira Fenrir, Kashtira Unicorn, Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon, Black Metal Dragon) to reach a Kashtira or Red-Eyes starter, protect with Ash Blossom / Infinite Impermanence, and extend into a Link or Xyz board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Triple Tactics Talent to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Kashtira Birth / Kashtiratheosis and Red-Eyes recursion
• Recovery: Recover from GY and banish through Kashtira Birth, Kashtira Preparations, Kashtira Big Bang, and Red-Eyes Black Meteor Dragon / Black Metal Dragon GY effects to re-enter Xyz or Link summons
• After siding: Not applicable in Master Duel ladder (single game); no side deck is run

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter: a searcher among 22 search-text cards gives about 0.91 odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype-core group about 0.86 (Inferred). Its strength sits in the system rather than in any single card: three engines (Kashtira, Red-Eyes, and Dragon/Ra tribute lines) share a 7-card hand-trap and search suite, so one interruption rarely ends the turn. Interaction density is high (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Triple Tactics Talent, Kashtira Big Bang) and the endboard reaches 2800-3400 ATK through Extra Deck Xyz, Link and Fusion options. The score is held back by low archetype coherence (2.7% exact-name purity, 73 off-archetype copies), a heavy brick and conflict risk across Normal Summon rules, and high pilot complexity. Popularity and meta-share earned no points because no tournament or meta sample exists, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70% Midrange / 30% Toolbox; D13 dropped and weights renormalized over 95 for meta-neutral Structural. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Archetype incoherence (-4); Banlist exposure (-2); Tribute and Normal Summon dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(52) + ContextModifiers(-8) = 50; Meta provisional, D13 excluded from Structural

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density (22 search-text cards) gives ≈0.91 odds of a searcher in the opening 5
• Seven hand traps plus 9 negation-text cards give layered interaction on both turns
• Three independent engines (Kashtira, Red-Eyes, Dragon/Ra) reduce single-line dependence
• Extra Deck covers Link, Fusion, Xyz and Synchro with 15 slots fully used

Weaknesses

• Very low archetype coherence: 2.7% exact-name purity and 73 off-archetype copies
• Brick and conflict risk from Summon-rule clashes between Ra, Max Metalmorph and Kashtira Birth
• No side deck, so no adaptation in the Master Duel ladder
• High pilot complexity with many branching decisions per turn

Critical choke points

• Egyptian God Ra Sphere Mode (2 copies) requires 3 Tributes and cannot be Special Summoned
• Max Metalmorph (2) is the single gate for Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon
• Limited cards (Maxx C, One for One, Predaplant Anaconda, Pressured Planet Wraitsoth) are one-copy each

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel with 60 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; no violations; Limited copies: Maxx C 1, One for One 1, Predaplant Verte Anaconda 1, Pressured Planet Wraitsoth 1; Kashtira Unicorn Semi-Limited at 2 (all within limit); Exact-name purity 2.7% and 73 off-archetype copies from composition; Extra Deck breakdown: Link 6, Fusion 5, Xyz 3, Synchro 1
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show 13 of 25 core cards present (52%) at the list level, but the in_this_deck flags conflict with the Extra Deck zone list (see data_gaps)
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.91 and archetype-core P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density and endboard quality from card text (hand traps, negation, removal text); Going-second hand-trap P(≥1 in 6) ≈ 0.54; Engine conflicts and brick risk from Summon-rule text
• Provisional: Meta power is null; matchup and format fit (D13) unknown without a dated sample; Tournament reliability inferred from consistency and pilot complexity, not from results
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference (combos_evidence total 0) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; Meta Power is provisional No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates usage_statistics in_this_deck flags contradict the Extra Deck list: S:P Little Knight, Sanwitch, Horned Saurus, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Master of Chaos, Ancient Fairy Dragon, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon, Kashtira Shangri-Ira, Kashtira Arise-Heart, Linkuriboh, Striker Dragon and Hieratic Seal are all listed as in_this_deck false with copies 0 despite appearing in the cards array; core_present_pct 52 is unreliable Master Duel ladder is single-game, so the side-deck (D12) read is non-applicable and held low by convention
