Skull Servant Deck #767761 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Graveyard-driven Skull Servant / Wight recursion into King of the Skull Servants and Horus boss monsters summoned via King's Sarcophagus (Inferred from card text).; Extra Deck Link and Xyz beaters (Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax, Divine Arsenal, Super Starslayer) once the board is stable.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and discard-to-GY starters (Wightbaking, Moissa Wight, Wightprince) toward King's Sarcophagus / Walls for the Horus route (Inferred from text; no recorded boards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a Skull Servant starter plus Lightning Storm, Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster or Forbidden Droplet to clear the opponent's board, then recurse from the GY (Inferred).
• Recovery: GY recursion through Wightprince, Wightlord, Mezuki and Wight Reanimator, returning Skull Servants and the Lady in Wight to the field (Inferred).
• After siding: None: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Skull Servant engine: the archetype-core group (19 copies) has about an 86% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the searcher-text group (13 copies) about 72%. Its Graveyard recursion (Wightprince, Wightlord, Mezuki, Wight Reanimator) gives it resilience and regeneration after disruption, and its Horus boss monsters provide 2400 to 3000 ATK closing power. Interaction is moderate and sits on the Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster package, with no hand traps and no side deck, which lowers the score. No recorded boards, tournament results or side-deck data exist, so the combo ceiling and floor are inferred from card text and the score carries a Medium confidence band. The score comes from consistency, recursion and boss output on the system as a whole, not from averaging individual card scores, and the archetype's popularity earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54.7, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 53, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: no side deck (-4); no hand traps or floodgates (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*54.7 + 0.20*50 - 6 ≈ 48

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Archetype core is dense: 19 copies give ~86% chance of a live core card in a 5-card opening hand.
• Graveyard recursion gives several independent lines after the first starter is removed.
• Horus boss monsters (Imsety, Hapi, Qebehsenuef) provide strong closing ATK once King's Sarcophagus is online.
• Extra Deck is fully used (15/15) with a mix of Link and Xyz bosses.

Weaknesses

• No side deck: no post-side plan at all in a best-of-3 format.
• No hand traps or floodgates; the deck has no interaction on the opponent's turn.
• Several situational spells (Terraforming, Walls, That Grass Looks Greener, Subspace Battle, Foolish Burial) can be dead in an opening hand.
• Exact archetype purity is only 18.7%; the engine relies on related Wight and Horus sub-archetypes and generic tech.
• Pilotability is demanding: many multi-step Graveyard and name-changing lines.

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus (3 copies) is the gate to the Horus route; without it the Horus boss monsters stay in the GY.
• Lightning Storm, Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster are the main board-breakers; a single missed board clear leaves no alternative going second.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 60 and Extra Deck 15 are legal for OCG (40–60 / 0–15 size rules).; Restricted cards (Card Destruction, Foolish Burial, Harpie's Feather Duster, Linkuriboh, S:P Little Knight, Terraforming, That Grass Looks Greener) run at legal copies.; Archetype-core group of 19 copies gives 0.8628 for at least one in a 5-card hand.; Side deck is 0 cards.
• Observed: Usage statistics: 8 of 25 core cards present (32%).
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and brick rate are inferred from hypergeometric odds and card text.; Horus route and Graveyard recursion lines are inferred from card text.; Going-first and going-second strength are inferred from interaction and board-breaker counts.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample was supplied.; Matchup and format fit (D13) is a neutral placeholder.
• 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, going-second and matchup rates are unknown no guides attached for the archetype Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
