Secret Six Samurai Deck #769847 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 18/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 15 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: No dedicated win condition. Synchro boss monsters (Scrap Dragon, Colossal Fighter, Naturia Barkion, Stardust Dragon) are reached through generic Tuner plus materials, with interaction carrying the game.; Attrition through repeated removal and negation (Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force, Dark Hole, Raigeki-style sweepers, Skill Drain).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Tuner (Effect Veiler is the only main-deck Tuner in the list) and try to reach a Synchro. Otherwise hold traps and stun the opponent's first Summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Solemn-style negates, Mirror Force, and Effect Veiler for the opponent's Main Phase. Stabilise the board and then Synchro over the top.
• Recovery: Recur with Monster Reborn, Foolish Burial, or Pot of Duality to refill the hand. No engine recovery exists because the archetype core is absent.
• After siding: Side is Xyz-heavy (9 Xyz in a 15-card side) with no Xyz engine in the main deck. Post-side coherence is low and the side plan is not reliable.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: nine Forbidden cards are run at 1 copy each, so it receives a capped, structural-only score and not a normal Final Contextual score. The score comes from the system as a whole: a 60-card main of 27 traps, 15 spells and mostly singleton effect monsters, with a 15-card Synchro Extra Deck. The deck runs 0 of the Secret Six Samurai archetype cards despite its label, so the archetype tag does not earn credit. Interaction density is high (Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force, Dark Hole, several negates), which is the main strength on the going-second turn. Engine access is weak: only one main-deck Tuner (Effect Veiler) and no recorded boards, so starter reliability and median output are low. Popularity and the archetype label did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 33, Going First ≈ 32, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); engine conflict / archetype mismatch (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(33) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(25) = 31.4, then banlist and archetype-mismatch modifiers (-13) give 18; structural-only, not a normal score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.08 · 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 suite that can answer most opposing Summons and activations
• Synchro Extra Deck covers several boss options
• Recursion available through Monster Reborn, Foolish Burial and Pot of Duality

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: nine Forbidden cards at 1 copy each
• No archetype engine: the 0 Secret Six Samurai cards in the list makes the archetype label misleading
• Only one main-deck Tuner, so Synchro access is unreliable
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Effect Veiler as the only main-deck Tuner
• The list cannot be played as-is until the nine Forbidden cards are removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: 9 Forbidden cards at 1 copy each (banlist); 60 main, 15 extra, 15 side within size rules; 0 Secret Six Samurai cards in the main deck (archetype purity 0%)
• Inferred: Starter access is low (P about 0.08 per singleton on a 5-card hand); Interaction density is high and effective on going second; Median output is low given no recorded boards
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Archetype label Secret Six Samurai does not match the card list (0 archetype cards)
