Legality
Main 55 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: K9 and Xyz boss monsters (K9-X Werewolf, Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade, Super Quantal Mech Beast Magnaliger) built through Xyz summons after searcher and hand-trap protection; Metalmorph and Super Quant follow-up boards; Chimeratech Megafleet Dragon and Vallon as extra-deck follow-up
- Turn 1 (going first): Search a K9 or Super Quant engine with Hieratic Seal or Chaotic Elements, normal summon K9 monsters if the opponent holds 2+ cards, then Xyz into a boss while holding Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Strike or Ash Blossom
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C" and Solemn effects to stop the opponent's first board, then Xyz or Special Summon through the cleared field (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards)
- Recovery: Recycle GY monsters and searchers (Chaotic Elements, Incoming Machine, K9-17 Ripper) and rebuild a board from the 19 searcher-text cards (Inferred)
- After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck cannot adjust between games
Why it scores here
This deck is Illegal in OCG as submitted: K9-04 Noroi is Forbidden and is run 3 times, and "A Case for K9" is Limited to 1 and is run 3 times, so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 20 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structurally it has real interaction density (7 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards, 21 removal-text cards) and a 19-card searcher base (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.89, Inferred), so it can open and fight an established board. Its weakness is coherence: only 4 of 68 archetype-named cards are exact Hieratic, and the rest spread across K9, Solemn, Super Quant, Kaiju, Metalmorph and Forbidden, so no single engine is reliably live. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Xyz closing power evaluated on the system, not from popularity (no usage or tournament data) and not from averaging card scores. There is no side deck and no recorded boards, which keeps confidence Low.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | 19 searcher-text cards give P(≥1 searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.89, but the core engine is split across several sub-archetypes; only 4 Hieratic cards are exact (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | 32 of 55 main cards are spells/traps or non-engine tech; K9 Normal Summons depend on the opponent holding 2+ cards, a conditional brick risk (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable combo boards; ceiling is inferred from the Xyz boss text (K9-X Werewolf 3300 ATK, Umbral Horror 3000 ATK) (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded combos, so the median output is unknown and set low for the mixed engines (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 60 | 7 hand traps and multiple negations give alternate lines if the first starter is stopped; Ash Blossom and Maxx "C" are redundant (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Searchers and recursion (Chaotic Elements, Incoming Machine, K9-17 Ripper, Super Quant GY recovery) support rebuilds from a thin hand (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 65 | Interaction breadth is high: Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike, Solemn Warning, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Raigeki and Maxx "C" (Verified from card text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 58 | Hand trap in going-second hand (6 cards) ≈ 0.58 for at least one of 7 hand-trap cards (Inferred); board breaking via Raigeki and Feather Duster (Verified) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Xyz bosses reach 2600–3300 ATK; the boss endboard depends on an intact K9 material chain (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 35 | 55 main cards with 29 distinct names and only 4 exact-archetype cards; many off-archetype tech slots lower compactness and coherence (Verified composition, Inferred scoring) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 50 | 11 Xyz plus Link and Fusion; many Xyz targets need K9 materials, and Chimeratech and Vallon are off-plan (Verified composition, Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | Side deck is empty (side_count 0), so no post-side adaptation exists in best-of-3 play (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; format fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Multiple Xyz, Metalmorph and K9 Normal Summon conditions, and many one-per-turn effects, make pilotage demanding (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 50.4, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal: normal formula not applied. Would be 0.80*50.4 + 0.20*45 + modifiers(-7) ≈ 42 if legal; theoretical cap = 20 (structural-only)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 interaction: 7 hand traps, multiple negations and removal spells
- Searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) gives reliable early access
- Xyz boss ceilings (3300, 3000, 2600 ATK) and Raigeki/Feather Duster board breaking
Weaknesses
- Illegal in OCG: Forbidden K9-04 Noroi x3 and Limited "A Case for K9" x3
- Low engine coherence: only 4 exact Hieratic cards; the deck spreads across 7+ sub-archetypes
- No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
- No recorded combos, so the floor and median are unknown
Critical choke points
- K9 monster and Xyz material chain: if the K9 starter is stopped, the boss endboard is lost
- Opponent holding fewer than 2 cards blocks the K9 Normal Summon route
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K9-04 Noroi x3 (Forbidden) and 2 copies of "A Case for K9" | Legal K9 or Hieratic replacements (choose per the actual K9 engine) | The deck is Illegal as built; it cannot be scored normally until the copy and banlist violations are removed |
| 2 | Off-archetype tech slots (Chimeratech, Vallon, Metalflame Swordsman, Power Vice Dragon) | Cards that continue the chosen engine (e.g. more K9 searchers or Xyz materials) | Higher engine coherence raises D1 and D10 and reduces brick risk |
| 3 | Nothing (side deck is currently empty) | A 10–15 card side deck for best-of-3 | D12 is 10 because there is no post-side plan at all |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal status: K9-04 Noroi (Forbidden) run 3; "A Case for K9" (Limited, legal 1) run 3; Main 55, Extra 13, Side 0; size rules legal; Searcher-text 19, hand-trap 7, negation-text 18, removal-text 21 counts; Exact-archetype purity 5.9% (4 Hieratic cards)
- Inferred: Consistency: P(≥1 searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.89; P(≥1 hand trap in 6-card hand) ≈ 0.58; Going-second interaction read from card text; Xyz boss endboard and K9 Normal Summon conditions
- Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup/format fit (D13) — no dated metagame sample
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups or brick rates No side deck registered Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
