Fire King Deck #769199 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King Garunix / Garunix Eternity / Promethean Princess / Zealantis link-and-Xyz beaters after the Fire King engine establishes a board (structural read, no board data); Jurrac Meteor and Jurrac Astero Synchro pressure through Mulcharmy and Jurrac bodies
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King starter (Kirin, Ponix, Ulcanix, Island or Sanctuary), use the self-destruction plus search text to reach a Level 8 Garunix or Extra Deck boss, and hold Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse or Solemn for the single key response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Judgment and Emissary from the House of Wax to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Fire King text and Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Recover from the Graveyard through Garunix's and Ulcanix's Graveyard summon effects, Fire King Sky Burn, and Mulcharmy draw effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export lists zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on its own structure: 26 Fire King and related core copies give a high chance (about 0.97 in a 5-card hand) of seeing at least one archetype card, and multiple independent starters (Kirin, Ponix, Ulcanix, Island, Sanctuary) keep the engine from depending on one card. Its interaction density is the strongest part of the list: Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Dominus Impulse and Emissary cover most common summons and activations. Conversion is limited by the absence of recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and the Extra Deck gives a credible finisher package at Level 8 and 10 without a proven line. Usage statistics and archetype popularity confirm the list is a real, accessible build but did not add points by themselves. The deck is Illegal under the OCG copy limits (three copies each of Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse where two are allowed), so the final score is capped and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only; the score was not produced by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 54, then -12 illegal-copy modifier = 42, capped at 30 because the list is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense negation suite: Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Dominus Impulse and Emissary
• Several independent Fire King starters so the engine is rarely a single card
• Strong Extra Deck finishers at Level 8 and Level 10 with Garunix, Garunix Eternity and Jurrac Meteor/Astero
• Good Graveyard recursion (Ponix, Garunix, Ulcanix) for recovery after a disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse run three copies against a limit of two
• No side deck at all, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (34.3%) with many off-archetype and generic cards
• No recorded combos or win data, so floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Opening hand needs a Fire King starter; off-archetype cards are dead without it
• Any single Ash Blossom or Solemn Judgment is the only answer to a key starter, so one removed copy can end the turn
• Going second depends on the 3-copy negations being in the top six cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 against OCG size rules 40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15; Copy-limit violations: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 and Dominus Impulse x3 against legal copies 2; Limited and Semi-Limited statuses for the restricted cards in the export; Printed ATK/DEF and card text for the listed cards; Exact-name archetype purity 34.3%
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Fire King core is run by most archetype lists; no deck-specific boards were recorded
• Inferred: Core-group hypergeometric estimates (≈0.97 at least one, ≈0.03 proxy brick); Going-first and going-second plan descriptions; Interaction density scores from negation text; Dimension scores D1-D14 and the Structural 55 figure
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit (held at a neutral 50)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck or archetype No Side Deck in the export: post-side plan and D12 are not measurable Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
