Fire King Deck #769312 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King board-clearing and Garunix/Promethean-level boss pressure from the Extra Deck (Garunix Eternity, Promethean Princess, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Raidraptor - Arsenal Falcon) after a Fire King starter opens the board; Link and Synchro pressure from the splash-sized Jurrac, Salamangreat and Charmer sub-archetype payoffs
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King starter (Kirin, Ponix, Ulcanix, or Island/Sanctuary) that searches or Special Summons a second Fire King, then Extra Deck into a board-clearing or 2700-ATK boss; Ash Blossom and Droll are held for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Fire King hand-based negation/revival (Arvata, Kirin) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild from the Graveyard with Garunix, Ponix and Kirin
• Recovery: Revive Fire King monsters from the Graveyard through Ponix, Kirin and Garunix and reuse Fire King Island and Sanctuary as field-based recursion
• After siding: Not supported by the deck list: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a structural system, not from its card averages. Its Fire King core (23 copies across the core set, with P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.99) gives it a reliable first starter, and the 4 hand traps plus 25 removal-text cards provide real interaction. Its conversion is capped by a fragmented list: only 21 of 40 main-deck cards are exact-name Fire King, and Kashtira, Branded, Jurrac, Mulcharmy, Salamangreat and Forbidden cards share the slots with no combo records to show whether they cohere. The list is illegal (Kashtira Fenrir at a Forbidden 3 copies, Ash Blossom and The Fallen & The Virtuous over their Semi-Limited limit), so the score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only. Archetype popularity (Fire King core inclusion 77–91%) confirms the list is real and accessible but earned no points on its own.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); weak post-side plan (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 48.8, plus modifiers -10 = 38.8, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Fire King core is present at high copy counts and gives a near-certain core-card hit in the opening hand
• Interaction density from 4 hand traps, Ash Blossom, Droll and Fire King Sky Burn
• Strong Extra Deck boss pool with 2500-3000 ATK bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Kashtira Fenrir (Forbidden) plus Semi-Limited copy-limit breaches
• Only 21 of 40 main cards are exact-name Fire King; engine coherence across Kashtira, Branded, Jurrac and Salamangreat is unproven
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptability

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir at 3 copies makes the list unplayable until removed
• Fire King starters are only 3 each (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix) so a missed opening starter is a common failure mode

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir x3, Semi-Limited Ash Blossom and The Fallen & The Virtuous at 3 copies; Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Core inclusion: Fire King High Avatar Kirin 91%, Legendary Fire King Ponix 82%
• Inferred: Core starter opening probability of 0.99; Interaction density from card text; Structural score 51 from dimension weights
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; D13 is provisional
• 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 provisional; no dated metagame sample
