Simorgh Deck #768726 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Simorgh Winged Beast engine (Simorgh, Bird of Calamity / Bird of Perfection / Bird of Bringing / Bird of Beginning and the Tribute-summoned 2900-ATK Simorgh monsters) converting into a large, interaction-protected end board of 2700 to 3000 ATK monsters.; Link and Xyz pressure (Harpie Conductor, Hraesvelgr, Castel, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) once the board is established.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Simorgh starter and Simorgh Onslaught or Simorgh Repulsion to search or reset, use Mulcharmy draw effects and Elborz-style Tribute reduction to reach a Simorgh Tribute Summon, and hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre as interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's 14 hand-trap cards to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Simorgh recursion from the GY and the Extra Deck link and Xyz pieces.
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Simorgh Bird of Calamity / Perfection effects, Dark Simorgh's GY special summon, and Simorgh of Darkness, while Mulcharmy draws refill the hand.
• After siding: None. The deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence.

Why it scores here

The score is built from the deck as a system, not from its cards: the Simorgh engine reaches a Tribute Summon and a large end board fairly often, and 14 hand traps plus 13 negation-text cards give it real interaction density. Two Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty are Forbidden in OCG, so the list is Illegal and receives no normal Final Contextual score; the value above is capped to a theoretical read. The deck has no recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and its 55 main-deck slots mix 21 tech and 15 single-copy cards that dilute the engine. The usage-statistics block belongs to a different archetype (Raidraptor/Dominus) and does not support a Simorgh core read, so popularity and usage earned no points. Card scores were not averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with the Toolbox weights used only for the notes; no weights were tuned to reach a score.. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Raw: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53, plus modifiers (-12) = 41; Illegal-deck cap applied, final reported as 25 (theoretical/structural only, not a normal Final score).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Simorgh engine that can reach a Tribute Summon and large end board
• 14 hand traps plus 13 negation-text cards give strong interaction density
• Late-game closing power from 2700–3000 ATK monsters
• Mulcharmy draw effects and GY recursion sustain card flow

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 2 Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty are Forbidden
• No side deck, so no post-game adaptation
• Low archetype purity (31.4%) with 21 tech and 15 single-copy main cards
• No recorded boards, so combo output is unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Simorgh Link cards occupy 2 Extra Deck slots; the list cannot be played legally until they are removed
• Simorgh starter density (20 main-deck copies) is the only engine path; without it the deck falls back to generic tech

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 Simorgh, Bird of Sovereignty are Forbidden (over limit); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Card text and banlist status for all 42 distinct cards come from the export; Composition: 30 distinct main-deck cards, 20 main-deck Simorgh copies, 14 hand traps, 33 removal-text cards; End-board ATK values (2700–3000) from the export
• Inferred: Midrange as primary strategy, with Toolbox and Stun as secondary; Hypergeometric P(≥1 Simorgh starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.91; Interaction density and going-second board-breaking from card-text reads; Engine accessibility and pilotability ratings
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (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: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage statistics core list (Raidraptor/Dominus cards) does not match the Simorgh archetype and was not used for the core-presence read deck title is null, so the deck is identified only by archetype and id
