Temple of the Kings Deck #769683 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Supreme King Z-ARC, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) after negating or disrupting the opponent's plays; Raise Moon Xyz Monsters and Fusion/Synchro bosses that gain value from the trap/negation package
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a search or draw engine (Pot of Desires, Raise Moon Starter Squeeze, Treasures of the Kings) and hold hand traps (Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) and trap negations for the opponent's first Summon or Spell/Trap
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn Judgment / Solemn Warning / Mind Mirror Force to break the opponent's first board, then Extra Deck boss monsters
• Recovery: Recycle through Dominus Spiral / Dominus Spark / Apophis traps and Raise Moon GY recursion to rebuild interaction after a disruption
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is a trap-heavy Toolbox list built around Dominus, Raise Moon, Apophis and Solemn traps, with 31 Trap Cards and 25 negation-text cards, so its interaction density is the strongest reading (D7 65, Inferred from text). Its engine is fragmented: only 1 of 59 main cards carries the exact archetype name, 73 are off-archetype, and the archetype core is present in only 3 of 12 standard core cards, so starter access is weak (about 48% for a searcher in the opening hand, Inferred). No recorded combo boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates and are scored low. The deck is illegal: two Forbidden cards and three copies of a Limited card break the list, so it receives a capped score rather than a normal contextual score. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Illegal list) (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*43 + 0.20*30 ≈ 40, then -12 banlist-exposure modifier ≈ 28, then Illegal cap applied = 25 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.48 · 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

• Dense trap and negation package: 25 negation-text cards and 5 hand traps
• Layered interaction across Dominus, Solemn, and Mind Mirror Force, so the deck can answer a first Summon or activation
• Extra Deck has high-ATK bosses (Supreme King Z-ARC at 4000 ATK x2, Odd-Eyes Rebellion at 3000, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma at 3000)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Forbidden cards and a Limited card over its limit
• Fragmented engine: 1.4% exact-archetype purity across seven sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• The opening hand needs a searcher or draw card, with about 48% chance of one (Inferred)
• Forbidden Albion and Crystal Wing removals leave Extra Deck slots to fill
• Negation-based interaction without a recovery engine after the first board is lost

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and size rules; Card of Demise 3 copies vs Limited max 1; Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon and Albion the Branded Dragon are Forbidden; Exact archetype purity 1.4%
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.48; Interaction density and layering from card text; Going-second hand-trap estimate 43%
• Provisional: Meta/format fit; Tournament reliability
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, or brick/starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck entries, so post-side behavior is unknown Deck title is null
