Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Summon-engine
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon Six Samurai and Secret Six Samurai monsters into Synchro/XYZ/Link boards (Shi En, Colossal Fighter, Crimson Blader, Black Luster Soldier) and attack through removal and Six Strike effects.; Six Strike - Triple Impact and Six Strike - Double Assault wipe the opponent's field once 2-3 Six Samurai monsters are out.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Legendary Six Samurai - Kageki or Tactical Trainer, search with Shien's Smoke Signal or Anarchist Monk, then build a Six Samurai board with Shien's Dojo / Gateway counters.
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond with Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Solemn Judgment on the opponent's engine, then rebuild through Kizaru, Mizuho or Six Strike effects.
• Recovery: Recover monsters from the GY through Warrior Returning Alive, Six Strike - Double Assault and Battle Shogun, and redeploy Synchro Summons.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this export.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its archetype core: 20 Six Samurai core copies give P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.91, and two searchers push that further (Inferred). Its engine converts into Synchro, XYZ and Link boards and keeps several independent starters, so the system does not depend on one card. Interaction is layered through two hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Musakani Magatama and the Six Strike mass-removal spells. The score does not come from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity, which is real but was not credited as strength. Because the list runs Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) and has no side deck, it is capped to a low structural-only reading.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary blend applied. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(62) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 48.6, then capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (Forbidden card over the copy limit). Structural-only reading.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core (20 copies) is reliably in opening hands
• Searchers (17) and several starters recycle resources
• Layered interaction: 2 hand traps, Solemn, Musakani, Six Strike mass removal
• Strong Synchro/XYZ/Link closing boards in Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) run as 1 copy
• No Side Deck registered
• No combo evidence, so ceiling and median are text-only inference
• Level-0 spell density (23 spells, 29 non-monster cards) dilutes starters

Critical choke points

• Kageki and Smoke Signal starts are the main engine entry; lose them and the board stalls
• Forbidden card removal is required before the list can be scored as legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run 1 copy (illegal); Main 55, Extra 12, Side 0 counts; Archetype core 20 copies; Ash Blossom Semi-Limited 1 copy; Monster Reborn/Solemn/Gateway Limited 1 copy each
• Inferred: P(>=1 core card in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.91; Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric model; Interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power null; matchup fit neutral 50
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred No side deck; post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
