Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Revive Horus monsters from the GY with King's Sarcophagus on the field, then convert the 3000-ATK boards (Imsety, Lava Golem, Horus the Black Flame Deity) and Xyz/Link pressure into lethal.; Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord and Underworld Goddess Link/Xyz boards that negate and remove the opponent's interaction.
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open with King's Sarcophagus and a Horus searcher (Walls of the Imperial Tomb or Imsety), set up Canopic Protector and Lava Golem as the first real board, and extend through the Sarcophagus recursion.
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird (three copies, hand trap) to slow the opponent's deck searches, then rebuild the Sarcophagus engine from the GY and revive Horus monsters through the board.
  • Recovery: Recur Horus monsters and Sarcophagus from the GY with Imsety and the Sarcophagus self-recursion; Mulcharmy Fuwalos refills hand when the board is empty.
  • After siding: No side deck in Duel Links; there is no post-side plan. Adaptation is limited to in-game choices.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan in roughly half of going-first hands: P(at least one King's Sarcophagus in 5 cards) is about 0.50 (Inferred), and every Horus revival route depends on that single enabler. Converting the plan is strong when it lands, since the Horus monsters are 3000-ATK bodies and the Extra Deck carries negate-capable Link and Xyz monsters. Interaction and resilience are moderate: three Droll & Lock Bird and Canopic Protector cover some disruption, but no recorded boards exist to measure the median or floor. The score comes from consistency, median-to-ceiling output and interaction assessed on the system as a whole; it does not come from the archetype's popularity, which is absent here, and it does not average the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 45 P(at least one King's Sarcophagus in 5-card opening hand) about 0.50 with 3 copies; Walls and Imsety are the only searchers, so the engine is one-card-dependent (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 48 Six copies of 3-of playables (Lava Golem needs two Tributes, Canopic and Droll are situational) against seven singleton Horus pieces; brick risk is moderate (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 No recorded boards (combos_evidence total 0); ceiling read from text as Sarcophagus revival into Imsety/Horus boards plus Galaxy-Eyes or Number 38 negates (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No recorded boards, so median output cannot be measured; text read suggests the average board is a single Horus summon with a partial follow-up (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 50 Three Droll & Lock Bird and Canopic Protector provide two independent interruption responses, but both lean on the Sarcophagus line (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Sarcophagus and Horus GY recursion plus Mulcharmy Fuwalos hand refill give a recovery loop with no recorded resource data (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 Extra-Deck negates (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, Number 38, Underworld Goddess) plus three Droll and Canopic Protector; no interaction_density measurement (Inferred semantic read from card text)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 50 Three Droll & Lock Bird as going-second hand traps at 0.58 for six-card hands; board-breaking is limited to Number 38 and Underworld Goddess (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 58 Several 3000-ATK bodies (Imsety, Horus the Black Flame Deity, Lava Golem) and Sanaphond ATK growth; piercing and direct text is absent (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 60 25 main-deck cards within 20-30 range with 7 singletons and 6 three-ofs; compact and coherent but 27 of 34 monster/spell slots are off exact archetype name (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 62 Nine distinct Extra Deck cards of which several are alternatives for the same job (Xyz negates); full 9/9 usage with flexible summon routes (Verified composition, Inferred coverage)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 30 Duel Links has no side deck (side_count 0); post-side adaptation cannot be measured (Provisional)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 45 No tournament link and no archetype meta-share in the export; format fit is unknown (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 52 Multi-step Sarcophagus and Imsety sequencing with several once-per-turn gates; moderate decision load but no complex combo steps recorded (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Control (structural weights blended). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: unrecoverable choke point (-3); off-archetype dilution (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.5 · 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

  • King's Sarcophagus recursion engine with three copies
  • Strong 3000-ATK bodies at 8 Level
  • Negate-capable Extra Deck options (Photon Lord, Number 38, Underworld Goddess)
  • Three Droll & Lock Bird as going-second hand traps
  • Compact 25-card main deck with clear archetype core

Weaknesses

  • Single-enabler dependency on King's Sarcophagus
  • Exact archetype purity is only 20.6%
  • No side deck to adapt post-game
  • No recorded combos or tournament data to validate output
  • Several singleton Horus pieces are hard to draw

Critical choke points

  • King's Sarcophagus must be on the field before any Horus revival (about 50% in going-first 5-card hands)
  • Lava Golem requires two Tributes from the field to Special Summon
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 1 Photon Jumper 1 additional Walls of the Imperial Tomb or a second Horus searcher Photon Jumper is a single-copy off-archetype card; adding a second Horus searcher raises the chance the Sarcophagus engine is live by turn 2

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legal size 25/9/0 within 20-30, 0-9, 0-9 for duel-links; Coach King Giantrainer at 1 copy (Limited, legal 1); Photon Jumper at 1 copy (Semi-Limited, legal 2); Archetype spread and copy histogram from the export
  • Observed: Usage statistics show Horus core cards at 100% inclusion for King's Sarcophagus and Qebehsenuef
  • Inferred: Hypergeometric P(at least one Sarcophagus in 5) = 0.5043; Engine accessibility and brick estimates from card text; Interaction quality from negate and removal text; Going-first and going-second splits from text, not records
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Post-side adaptability (no side deck in Duel Links)
  • 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 and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags disagree with the card list: Coach King, Number 90, Number 68, Dingirsu, Underworld Goddess and S:P Little Knight are listed in cards with zone extra but marked in_this_deck false, so the usage flag appears to be main-deck-only guide 1490 has an empty snippet and no sections, so guides_evidence gives no strategic intent
