Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Horus monsters (Imsety, Horus the Black Flame Deity, Qebehsenuef, Hapi, Duamutef) special-summoned from the GY while King's Sarcophagus is face-up, backed by Extra Deck Link/Xyz beaters; Extra Deck Xyz/Link beaters (Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Felgrand, Hieratic Sun Dragon, DoomZ XII End, Accesscode Talker)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with King's Sarcophagus or Walls of the Imperial Tomb to search a Horus monster, then rebuild the GY-summon loop; hand traps are held for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence as hand traps to slow the opponent's starter, then recover through GY Horus summons
• Recovery: Re-enter through King's Sarcophagus and Horus GY summons; Trade-In and the Walls search fill the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is King's Sarcophagus plus Walls of the Imperial Tomb: P(at least one of the six engine cards in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.46, so the engine is only sometimes live on turn 1, which caps D1. The Horus Graveyard summons are gated by a face-up Sarcophagus, so a hand without it is largely dead, which drags D2 down. Interaction is the strongest part: Ash Blossom, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Judgment, Lightning Storm, Dark Ruler No More and Needle Ceiling give broad negation and removal, which supports D7 and D8. Closing power comes from 3000-ATK Horus and Extra Deck Xyz/Link beaters. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference only, and popularity of the Horus archetype did not earn points. The deck is illegal (Ash Blossom over copy limit, S:P Little Knight over copy limit) and runs no side deck, so its score is capped at 30 and is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); no_side_deck (-4); gy_gated_engine_brick_risk (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Computed 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) + modifiers(-12) = 33, capped at 30 for copy-limit and size violations; no normal Final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.46 · 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 suite: Ash Blossom, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Judgment, Lightning Storm, Dark Ruler No More, Needle Ceiling
• Horus GY-recursion gives multiple recovery routes after a disruption
• High-ATK Horus and Extra Deck finishers (3000 ATK class) provide closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal; S:P Little Knight 2 copies vs 1 legal
• Zero side deck in a best-of-3 format
• Engine is gated by a single King's Sarcophagus face-up and has about a 46% chance to be live in a 5-card opening hand
• Bloated 54-card main deck with 16 tech slots and 27 level-0 cards

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus face-up: without it, most Horus Graveyard summons are dead
• Walls of the Imperial Tomb as the only searcher for the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal; S:P Little Knight 2 vs 1 legal; 54 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Banlist: Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment and S:P Little Knight are Limited; Ash Blossom is Semi-Limited; Usage: Imsety typical 3 copies, present; Hapi typical 1 copy, run 3; S:P Little Knight core but absent
• Inferred: Engine live probability ≈ 0.46 on the first 5-card hand; Brick risk from GY-gated Horus monsters; Interaction density and layering from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Going-first and going-second splits
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck has no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed deck title is null
