Orcust Deck #769277 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Orcust Link and Xyz boards (Galatea-I, Enlilgirsu, Dingirsu) plus Ritual boss Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi (3200 ATK), which can wipe the opponent's monsters on Special Summon; Nibiru, the Primal Being and Mitsurugi Ritual lines for a late-game board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Orcust Harp Horror or Girsu, the Orcust Mekk-Knight, or a Mitsurugi searcher, then build a Link Monster such as Galatea-I or Enlilgirsu from the Orcust core. The deck has no recorded boards, so this line is text-derived.
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond with Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike, or Nibiru to disrupt the opponent's summons, then rebuild through Orcustrated Return or Orcustrated Babel. The 6-card hand has a 55% chance of holding a hand trap.
• Recovery: Recover through Orcustrated Return (draw 2), Orcustrated Babel (returns from the GY), Mitsurugi searchers, and Galatea-I, which can add a World Legacy monster or Orcustrated Babel back to hand.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 Side Deck cards and the export has no side-deck data, so no post-side plan can be assessed.

Why it scores here

The deck can reliably open an Orcust core: the 13 archetype-core copies give about a 73% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, from the hypergeometric estimate). Its interaction density is high: 7 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards and 16 removal-text cards. Its end-board is strong on paper, with Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi (3200 ATK), Nibiru (3000 ATK) and Link/Xyz bosses. Two engines compete for the same slots, though. Orcust (Machine/DARK Link and Xyz) and Mitsurugi (Reptile Ritual tributes) need different materials, and the exact-name Orcust purity is only 17.9%. Popularity and archetype share were not used as evidence, and card scores were not averaged. The list is illegal (copy limits and two Forbidden cards), so the score is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read; the score does not reflect a playable deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, applied as the Midrange weight table. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflict (-4); hard_garnet_burden (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap applied. Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-12) = 37.6; capped to 30 per the illegal-deck rule (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.27 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 13 archetype-core copies give about a 73% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand
• 7 hand traps plus 13 negation-text cards give layered interaction
• Strong end-board ATK from Ame no Murakumo, Nibiru and Link/Xyz bosses
• Recovery via Orcustrated Return and Orcustrated Babel

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and five over-limit Limited or Semi-Limited cards
• Two engines (Orcust Link/Xyz and Mitsurugi Ritual) with conflicting material
• Exact-archetype purity of 17.9%
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos, so consistency and conversion are text-inferred

Critical choke points

• Ritual Summon of Mitsurugi bosses depends on Mitsurugi Ritual and Reptile tributes, which the Orcust line does not supply
• A 27% full-brick proxy from the core-card probabilities
• Forbidden and over-limit cards mean the list cannot be played as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 58 cards, Extra Deck 9 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Seven cards over their OCG legal copy limit; Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden; Core-card probabilities from the hypergeometric table
• Inferred: Starter consistency (73%) and brick proxy (27%) are estimates, not measured rates; Hand-trap access (55% going second) is estimated; Interaction density is read semantically from card text; Ceiling and median are text-derived because no combos were recorded
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Post-side plan (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so no post-side evaluation is possible
