Simorgh Deck #769777 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon Overlord, Five-Headed Dragon, Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying) reached through Dragon Ruler and Armed Dragon starters (Inferred); Kashtira Unicorn and Pile Armed Dragon board pressure, only if the illegal Forbidden Extra Deck cards are removed (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dragon Ruler or Armed Dragon starter with Left Arm Offering or Tempest/Redox recursion, search with Here There Be Dragons or Pressured Planet Wraitsoth, and Special Summon a Level 7 boss; no combo evidence exists to confirm the line (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Ash Blossom and Maxx C as hand traps against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Dragon Ruler searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Dragon Ruler monsters return to the hand at the opponent's End Phase and can be re-summoned from the GY or banishment (card text), but the deck has no verified recovery sequence (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal as submitted: five Forbidden OCG cards (Number 42, Knightmare Gryphon, Simorgh, Baronne de Fleur, Number 89) are each run at one copy, so the list is capped and this is a structural-only read. Its main deck is a Dragon Ruler and Armed Dragon toolbox with 22 searcher-text cards, which gives a high probability of finding a starter (about 0.93 for at least one searcher in an opening 5, Inferred), but the mix of Kashtira, Broken World, Red-Eyes, Floowandereeze and Harpie cards shows little engine cohesion (only 1.4% exact-name archetype purity, 69 off-archetype copies). Interaction is dense (about 10 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, 36 removal-text cards, Inferred), which helps going-second survival. No combo boards, guides, tournament link or side deck exist, so the floor, median and ceiling of the combo output cannot be measured and are scored low. The score was built from consistency and interaction on the system as a whole, not from averaging individual card scores, and popularity and usage statistics did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); Illegal list cap (-10); No side deck (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: Final = min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers, 20) = min(0.80*41 + 0.20*35 - 10, 20) = 20 (Meta provisional, theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• High searcher density (22 cards with search text) gives a likely starter in the opening hand
• Dense interaction package: 10 hand traps, 9 negation effects and several removal cards
• Strong Level 7 Dragon Ruler and Armed Dragon bodies with recursion from hand and GY

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: five Forbidden cards at one copy each
• No side deck, so there is no best-of-three adaptation at all
• Low engine cohesion: 69 off-archetype copies and 1.4% exact archetype purity
• No combo evidence, so output ceiling and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck legality: the Forbidden Extra cards must be removed before the list can be played
• Single-copy Limited staples (Maxx C, Skill Drain, Harpie's Feather Duster, Kashtira Unicorn, Gold Sarcophagus, Droll and Lock Bird) each remove one redundancy slot

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Five Forbidden Extra Deck cards are run at one copy each against a legal limit of zero; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side 0 with no side deck; Six Limited cards and one Semi-Limited card are run within their copy limits; Archetype purity is 1.4% exact name and 69 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Searcher density gives a high chance of a starter (P ≈ 0.93); Interaction density is high based on card text roles; Going-second hand-trap coverage (P ≈ 0.72); Going-first and going-second plans are text-based only
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and matchup fit (D13) is provisional without a dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Usage statistics list Raidraptor-type core cards under an archetype labelled Simorgh, and 8% of them are present; this is a data mismatch and was not used for scoring Deck has no title and no side deck Meta Power is provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied
