Egyptian God Deck #768863 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Winged Dragon of Ra (Immortal Phoenix / Sphere Mode) and Horus monsters revived through King's Sarcophagus, closed with 3000-ATK boss monsters; Egyptian God Slime, Horus the Black Flame Deity and Gustav Max as backup closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Ancient Chant or King's Sarcophagus / Walls to reach Ra, then use Horus revivals and Raigeki-style board wipes to convert
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler and Droll in hand to stop the opponent's first summon, then Ra or Horus once the field is clear
• Recovery: Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre recursion plus Sarcophagus revivals rebuild the board after a single interruption
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often: P(at least one Ancient Chant in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.25 with three copies, while the 12-copy Egyptian God core has about 0.72 odds of at least one card in hand, so the engine is accessible but not reliable on turn 1. Conversion is the strongest part of the system: Winged Dragon of Ra variants, Horus revivals through King's Sarcophagus and the Raigeki / Lightning Storm / Harpie's Feather Duster board wipes give the deck a real route from setup to a 3000-ATK closing board. Interruption resilience comes from many hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird) that protect the engine on the opponent's turn. The main reductions come from a low-density main deck with 22 tech-tagged cards that are often dead in a given hand, an absent side deck that leaves best-of-3 adaptation with no plan, and a steep pilot burden. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.5, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Dead-tech burden (-2); Limited staples (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57.5 + 0.20*50 - 5

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Layered hand-trap coverage (11 hand traps) protects the engine on the opponent's turn
• Multiple high-ATK closers (Ra variants, Egyptian God Slime, Gustav Max, Horus) with a real lethal route
• Board-wipe options (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster) answer boards on either turn order

Weaknesses

• Only 3 Ancient Chant and 3 King's Sarcophagus gate the engine, so turn-1 starts are inconsistent
• 22 tech slots create brick risk and conflict with the engine when drawn
• No side deck, so the list cannot adapt across a best-of-3

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus and Walls of the Imperial Tomb gate most Horus revivals
• Ancient Chant is the only reliable path to Winged Dragon of Ra

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal with all banlist-limited cards at legal copies; Deck is 55 main / 15 extra / 0 side, within size rules; Card stats and printed text for every listed card
• Observed: Egyptian God core inclusion stats present (9 usage rows, 7 of 9 core cards present)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening probabilities for starters, core and hand traps; Interaction layering and going-second board breaking from text; Pilotability and brick risk estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Median and floor output (no recorded boards)
• 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 win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so post-side construction cannot be assessed
