Fire King Deck #770049 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King boss monsters (Garunix Eternity, High Avatar Garunix, Sacred Fire King Garunix) and Jurrac Astero/Meteor pressure off Fire King recursion; Link and Synchro beatdown (Promethean Princess, Amblowhale, Sunlight Wolf) once the board is stable
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Fire King monsters that can self-destruct or trade into a Special Summon (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix, Garunix), use Fire King Island or Sanctuary for recursion, and protect with Ghost Ogre and Ash Blossom
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert with Garunix or Jurrac Astero
• Recovery: Recur Fire King monsters from the GY through Garunix, Ponix and Island, then rebuild with Sky Burn and Fire King Sanctuary
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its core Fire King engine is accessible: the 3-copy starters have about a 26% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype core group has about a 96% chance of at least one piece. The 14 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards give it good end-board interaction, which keeps interaction and resilience above the floor. Its weaknesses are a bloated, off-archetype main deck (about 33% exact-archetype purity), a 17-card Extra Deck, and no side deck. Popularity did not earn points: the Fire King core is common in the archetype stats, but that only confirms the list is real. The Forbidden Albion and the Extra Deck overflow make the list illegal, so the score is capped at 30 and treated as theoretical.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (disclosed as hybrid). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); extra deck over limit (-4); limited-card dependence (-2); illegal cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 - 12 ≈ 38.6, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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

• Accessible Fire King engine: the archetype core group is present in about 96% of opening hands
• Layered interaction: 14 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards
• Boss threats on the end board: Garunix and Jurrac Astero

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Albion is Forbidden and the Extra Deck has 17 cards
• Low exact-archetype purity (32.9%) with 47 off-archetype copies
• No side deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Albion copy must be removed before the deck is legal
• Extra Deck must drop to 15 cards before any normal score applies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run at 1 copy; Extra Deck count 17 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Exact-name archetype purity is 32.9% (47 off-archetype copies); Archetype core group has 24 copies and about a 96% chance of ≥1 in a 5-card hand
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap odds are estimates from the Main Deck only; Interaction density and recursion read from card text, not from recorded boards; Ceiling and going-second reads are semantic inferences
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link; Matchup coverage (D13) is provisional
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck registered — post-side plan not evaluable no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
