Horus Deck #769446 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon a 3000+ ATK boss (Imsety, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon, Juraishin, Psychic End Punisher, Number 38) from a P.U.N.K. or Horus chain and protect it with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence).; Recursion-driven P.U.N.K. Synchro/Xyz chains (JAM FEVER!, JAM Dragon Drive) that rebuild the board from the GY after a disruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a 3-copy P.U.N.K. or Horus starter (Foxy Tune, Rising Scale, Ogre Dance, Imsety, Hapi) and chain Normal/Special Summons into a Tuner plus non-Tuner Synchro, keeping Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's first answer.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (Ash, Droll, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) to stop the opponent's first search or Special Summon, then rebuild from the GY with Deer Note or Foxy Tune.
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Foxy Tune, Deer Note and the P.U.N.K. Tuners, and rebuild through JAM Extreme Session and Therion searchers (Endless Engine Argyro System, Therion Discolosseum).
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in its current list.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a P.U.N.K. Tuner and Synchro core with a Horus Sarcophagus layer and a Therion splash. Its opening reliability comes from several 3-copy hand starters, with P(at least one in a 5-card hand) around 0.34 per 3-copy card and about 0.51 for the 5-copy archetype core (Inferred). Interaction is real but not overwhelming: six hand traps (P of at least one in a 6-card going-second hand around 0.65), plus Infinite Impermanence and Dangerous Gabu, cover the first answer and the first negate. Its endboard reaches 3000+ ATK bosses, which earns the closing-power score. Popularity and archetype share earned no points, since no tournament or meta data was supplied, and no card scores were averaged. The score is held back by the absence of recorded boards, the three-archetype engine conflict (P.U.N.K. 22, generic 18, Therion 5, Horus 4), and the lack of any Side Deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; interaction secondary folded into D7 weight. Structural ≈ 55.7, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Engine conflict across archetype families (-3); No Side Deck (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*55.7 + 0.20*52 - 6 = 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.51 · 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

• Legal in OCG with copy limits respected (Droll 1/1, Ash 2/2)
• Deep hand-trap package: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence
• High-ATK boss density at 3000+ on the Extra Deck
• Recursion through Foxy Tune, Deer Note and Tuner monsters

Weaknesses

• Three archetype families with an 'Horus' label that does not match the dominant P.U.N.K. engine
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Many LP-cost and once-per-turn effects increase error rate

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus (2 copies) gates the Horus revival line for Imsety and Hapi
• P.U.N.K. Tuners (Ze Amin, Sharakusai, Madame Spider) are the only Synchro bridge for the Dragon Drive and Amazing Dragon line

• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side plan quality (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 Deck title is null and the archetype label 'Horus' is not the dominant engine (P.U.N.K. 22 copies)
