Temple of the Kings Deck #770676 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Egyptian God Slime, Anubis the Last Judge and Divine Serpent Apophis convert Temple of the Kings and Apophis Trap lines into 2800-3000 ATK boards; Hyperinvoked Aeon, Gustav Max and Liebe as Extra Deck closers once the board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Temple of the Kings or Treasures of the Kings with The Man with the Mark / The True Sun God, set Apophis traps, and hold Ash Blossom, Solemn and Infinite Impermanence as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Sister, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) and Solemn negates on the opponent's summon, then rebuild through Apophis traps and Fusion/Synchro/Xyz from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recover from interruption with the Apophis trap engine (Apophis the Serpent sends to GY for Embodiment), Treasures of the Kings searches, and Dark Spell Regeneration / Monster Reborn recursion
• After siding: No side deck is registered; there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: a searcher-text group (17 cards) gives about an 85% chance of at least one searcher in the opening five, and Treasures of the Kings (3 copies) and The Man with the Mark (2 copies) provide redundant routes into the Temple of the Kings and Apophis trap engine. Its interaction density is the strongest part of the system: 7 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards let it answer a single opposing summon or activation and still keep a board, which drives the Interruption Resilience and Endboard Interaction scores. Conversion is the weak link, because no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are scored conservatively; Extra Deck closers such as Gustav Max and Hyperinvoked Aeon are present but single-copy or Limited. The deck carries no side deck at all, which caps adaptability near the floor and is the main reason the final score stays in the middle band. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from the archetype's popularity (no tournament or meta share is available) and not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Limited-status key cards (-1); Engine conflict (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*55.1 + 0.20*50 = 54.1, then context modifiers -5 = 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Layered negation and hand-trap density (7 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards) gives strong answers to single-threat openings
• Multiple independent searchers (Treasures of the Kings, Man with the Mark, The True Sun God, Temple of the Kings text) give an 85% searcher-in-opener rate
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Xyz and Link finishers, so the deck has more than one closing route

Weaknesses

• No side deck at all, so post-game adaptation is absent
• Core engine piece Temple of the Kings is a single copy and off-archetype density is high (61 of 69 copies not exact-name)
• Tech-heavy main (17 tech cards) raises dead-card risk in hands that have no engine starter
• No recorded boards exist, so conversion and consistency claims cannot be validated

Critical choke points

• Temple of the Kings (1 copy) as the Egyptian God / Apophis trap engine enabler
• Limited-status Monster Reborn and Foolish Burial as the only recursion and tutor tech for the Extra Deck closers
• Two-copy Divine Serpent Apophis as the main Fusion access route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal main/extra/side counts and copy limits (56/13/0; Limited and Semi-Limited copies within caps); Card text and banlist statuses from the evidence pack; Hypergeometric draw probabilities for the Main Deck; Archetype usage stats (13 core cards, 8 present, 61.5%)
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from composition and hypergeometric draws; Interaction density and resilience from negation and hand-trap text; Going-first and going-second strength from the hand-trap and negate split
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup/format fit (D13) because no dated metagame sample or tournament link is supplied
• 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 win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN - going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered (side_count 0) - post-side plan cannot be evaluated
