Monarch Deck #768029 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Floowandereeze and Winged Beast boards pressured by high-ATK Extra Deck monsters (Floowandereeze & Snowl 2900 ATK, Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon 3500 ATK, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max 3000 ATK), with Borrelsword Dragon and Knightmare links as additional closers; Raiza the Mega Monarch and Floowandereeze & Empen (2700 ATK) as Tribute Summon pressure, with Xyz boards for attrition
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 1 Winged Beast starter (Floowandereeze & Robina, Eglen, or Stri) and search a Floowandereeze monster or Field Spell with its effects; Floowandereeze and the Magnificent Map and the Advent of Adventure add board presence and search. Actual line conversion is not measured (no boards supplied).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird) to answer the opponent's first summon or Spell/Trap, then rebuild through the Floowandereeze searchers.
• Recovery: Floowandereeze monsters that banish themselves on leaving the field, Floowandereeze and the Dreaming Town recursion from the GY, and Pot of Duality/Pot of Extravagance for card advantage. Extravagance is over the copy limit, so it is the first card to remove.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck list has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan can be read from the evidence.

Why it scores here

The deck's main engine is a Floowandereeze and Winged Beast core: three copies each of several Level 1 starters and searchers give a 97% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate), so it usually has a live first turn. Interaction is the strongest part of the list, with eight hand traps and several negation and removal effects (D7 68, Inferred from card text). Conversion and floor are not measured because no combos were supplied, so D3 and D4 rest on text reading and are scored low, and the score does not average the card scores. The 40-card main is spread across Floowandereeze, Greed, Knightmare, Lyrilusc, Raidraptor and Train with only 1.8% exact-name Monarch purity, which lowers coherence. The list is illegal because three copies of Pot of Extravagance exceed the OCG limit of 2, so the structural score is capped and the final is theoretical only. Popularity was not used: there is no usage statistic or tournament link, so Meta Power stays null.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) = 48.4; modifiers -12 gives 36.4; Illegal status caps the result to 30 (theoretical / structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Very high searcher density (19 cards; P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.97)
• Layered interaction: eight hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Multiple high-ATK Extra Deck closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Pot of Extravagance exceeds the OCG copy limit
• Mixed archetype core (Floowandereeze 21 copies; Monarch 1 copy) lowers engine coherence
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation

Critical choke points

• Winged Beast starters: most engine lines need a Level 1 Floowandereeze/Winged Beast monster to be drawn or searched first
• Extra Deck is spread across six archetypes, so any one missing Xyz/Link route weakens the board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts are within size rules; Pot of Extravagance: 3 copies run, legal 2 (Semi-Limited), status Illegal; Droll & Lock Bird, Gustav Max, Terraforming each 1 copy, Limited (legal); Archetype spread: Floowandereeze 21, generic 15, Greed 6, others 1-3 each
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) = 0.97 (hypergeometric); Eight hand traps give strong going-second interaction (P>=1 in hand6 = 0.76); Interaction density is high from card text (negation, removal, hand traps); Engine coherence is moderate: Floowandereeze-centred with several unrelated Extra Deck lines
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample supplied); Matchup coverage and tournament reliability (no tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No archetype usage statistics: core/meta-standard comparison unavailable No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No Side Deck in the list: best-of-3 adaptation cannot be scored 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
