Temple of the Kings Deck #767798 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Fusion/Synchro threats (Eldlich the Mad Golden Lord, Divine Serpent Apophis, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max) backed by Temple of the Kings and Apophis Trap-based setup; Direct damage and board-control through Gustav Max's detach effect and Golden Land / Eldlich recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Trap-based setup via Treasures of the Kings and Temple of the Kings, then Special Summon a Mulcharmy or Eldlich monster while holding Solemn-type negates (Inferred from card text; no combo boards supplied)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Solemn Strike) to answer the opponent's first summon, then convert with Extra Deck monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy monsters draw on opponent summons and Eldlich recursion from the GY; no recorded recovery sequence exists (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG as submitted: Varudras and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden and both are run, so the evaluation is theoretical and structural only, capped at 25. Its structural read rests on interaction density (14 negation-text cards, 8 hand traps, 24 removal-text cards) and a 9-card Trap-based Solemn/Dominus shell, which earns credit on the interaction dimension. Consistency is middling: the core is about 65% likely to have at least one archetype card in an opening hand of 5, but 15 monsters among 55 cards and a 7.1% exact-archetype purity leave a high brick and dead-draw risk. No combo boards, tournament link, or side deck exists, so floor, median, and ceiling are Inferred from card text, and the side deck score is near zero. The score was built from the deck as a system, not by averaging card scores, and popularity did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 49.5, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); hard garnet / Extra Deck dependence (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(49.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + banlist modifier(-12) = 35.6, capped to 25 because Forbidden cards are run over the copy limit; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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 interaction: 8 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards and 24 removal-text cards
• Searcher-text coverage (13 cards) gives about 0.76 chance of at least one in opening 5 (Inferred)
• Extra Deck covers fusion, synchro, xyz and link threats with 3000-3800 ATK bodies

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: two Forbidden cards at 1 copy each
• Only about 15 monsters in 55 main-deck cards, so brick and dead-hand risk is high
• Exact-archetype purity 7.1% with 22 generic cards: the engine is split across several sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Temple of the Kings and Treasures of the Kings as the setup engine: losing them removes most of the archetype route (Inferred)
• Forbidden Extra Deck cards are not legal to play, so the deck needs to remove them to be playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 55 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards, within OCG size rules; Varudras and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden and run at 1 copy each (illegal); Copy histogram: 16 singles, 6 pairs, 9 triples; 31 distinct main cards; Archetype purity 7.1% exact name; 22 generic cards
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates (P>=1 searcher-text 0.76; archetype core 0.65; hand trap 0.63 going second); Interaction density read from card text flags; Route redundancy and recovery plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck supplied — post-side scoring is absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
