Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Link-chain Salamangreat board (Pyro Phoenix / Raging Phoenix 2800 ATK links) that clears the opponent's backrow and monsters, supported by Code Talker and Salamangreat link fodder; Salamangreat Miragestallio and Heatleo pressure once a Link-4 is down
  • Turn 1 (going first): Salamangreat Circle or Gazelle/Terrortop searches a Salamangreat starter, then Link Summon through Salamangreat Sanctuary and Transcendence toward a Link-4
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) break the opponent's starter, then a Link-4 is rebuilt from the GY
  • Recovery: Salamangreat monsters recur from the GY through Recureance, Weasel, Foxy and Sunlight Wolf effects, and Balelynx can banish from GY to protect Salamangreat cards
  • After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system and not from averaging card scores. The Salamangreat engine is the core: three-copy starters (Circle, Gazelle, Terrortop) give about a 27% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and a 78% chance of at least one searcher among 13. Interruption is handled by 9 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards, so the deck can keep converting after a single disruption. The ceiling of Link-4 Phoenix boards and the end-board removal are credible, but there are no recorded boards, so the median output is inferred rather than observed. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: an 18-card Extra Deck exceeds the OCG limit, Ash Blossom is over its copy limit, and Geonator Transverser is Forbidden. Popularity did not earn points: Code Talker exact-name purity is 2.9%, and the deck is mostly Salamangreat.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 55 P(at least one of 3-copy starter in 5-card hand) = 0.27; P(at least one searcher) = 0.78; 2-card bootstrap via Circle/Gazelle (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 45 16 single-copy cards and a wide off-archetype spread (68 of 70 archetype-tagged copies off exact name) raise brick risk; full-brick rate not computed (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 60 Link-4 Pyro Phoenix and Raging Phoenix boards and Sanctuary/Transcendence loops suggest a strong ceiling, but no recorded combos exist (Inferred, semantic text read)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No recorded boards, so no median power index or distribution is available; estimate rests on starter redundancy only (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 58 Multiple independent starters and recursion through the GY, plus 9 hand traps, support continuing after one interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 13 searcher-text cards plus GY recursion (Recureance, Weasel, Foxy, Sunlight Wolf) give good resource regeneration (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 70 14 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards, with Infinite Impermanence and Harpie's Feather Duster for backrow, give broad interaction (Verified text, Inferred quality)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 65 Hand traps reach about 70% in a 6-card going-second hand; board breakers and negation support the second turn (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 70 Two 2800-ATK Phoenix links and Miragestallio pressure, with Pyro Phoenix able to destroy the opponent's board (Verified stats, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 52 main cards with 16 tech and 2.9% exact-name purity; legal main size but diluted structure (Verified composition, Inferred efficiency)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 40 18 Extra Deck cards exceed the 15-card limit, with 16 Link Monsters and 14 distinct Extra cards; legal flexibility is reduced (Verified)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No side deck, so no adaptability is possible (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype share unavailable and Meta Power is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 40 Multi-step Link Summon sequencing with many decision points and branching GY recursion is demanding for a typical pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra-deck over size (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers (-12) = 40, then capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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

  • Dense Salamangreat starters and searchers give high redundancy in the Salamangreat sub-archetype
  • Strong interaction suite: 9 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards, 15 removal-text cards
  • High-ATK Link-4 boards (2800 ATK Phoenix) with board-clearing effects

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: copy-limit and Extra Deck size violations plus a Forbidden card
  • Low exact-name Code Talker purity (2.9%); the deck is effectively a Salamangreat build
  • No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
  • Large off-archetype tech package (16 tech cards) raises brick risk

Critical choke points

  • Single Link-4 monster needed for the main board; the Extra Deck must be legal to build it
  • Starter access depends on three-copy Salamangreat cards that are sparse in the opening hand
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Geonator Transverser Any legal Link-2 Extra Deck card or none Forbidden in OCG; the list cannot be legal while it is present
2 1 Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 1 non-duplicate hand trap or a legal Salamangreat card Ash is Semi-Limited at 2 copies; the third copy is an over-limit violation
3 3 Extra Deck cards (lowest-impact Links, e.g., S:P Little Knight or Hiita) None (Extra Deck to 15) Brings the Extra Deck within the OCG maximum of 15
4 Off-archetype tech with low impact (e.g., Cynet Mining) A 15-card side deck with extra negation or Salamangreat disruption Adds post-side adaptability, which the deck currently lacks

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality status Illegal: over copy limit (Ash Blossom 3 vs 2 legal; Geonator Transverser Forbidden) and Extra Deck 18 over 15; Card text for all listed cards, supplied by the deck evidence; Composition: 52 main, 18 extra, 0 side; 16 Link Monsters; 9 hand traps; 13 searchers; 14 negation; 15 removal
  • Inferred: P(at least one starter in 5-card hand) ~0.27 for 3-copy starters, from the hypergeometric table; Consistency and brick estimates from the card mix; Ceiling and interaction quality from card text, without recorded boards
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Matchup and format fit (D13) (no tournament link)
  • 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 this deck (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed
