Orcust Deck #770847 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Machine Xyz beatdown through Super Dreadnought and Galaxy Destroyer style boss monsters (Inferred from card text and ATK values); Machina board control: Machina Citadel and Ruinforce removal/negation lines, with Machina Metalcruncher and Gustav Rocket as follow-up (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search through Machina Redeployment or Train searchers, summon Machine monsters, and build toward a Rank 10 Xyz (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to stop the opponent's opening, then Machine Xyz follow-up (Inferred)
• Recovery: Machina Redeployment and Night Train / Revolving Switchyard recursion from GY (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: Side Deck size is 0, so no post-side plan exists in the supplied list

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging card power: 16 searcher-text cards and three Machina Redeployment copies give a high chance (about 0.92 in a 5-card opening, Inferred) of finding a starter, and Machine Xyz boss monsters (Galaxy Destroyer 5000 ATK, Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK, Liebe 4000 ATK) supply the closing power. Hand traps, negation text and removal text give moderate interaction and resilience. The deck has no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference and the median is held down. Popularity and archetype label do not add points: the list is mostly Machina and Train cards (only 1 of 42 main cards is named Orcust, and the Orcust core usage stats are present in only 3 of 21 core cards), and the deck has no side deck and an illegal Extra Deck of 17 cards. Because the list is Illegal, the final score is capped at 40 and is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (17 > 15) (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability - 12 (Illegal size modifier) = 41.8, capped at 40 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• 16 searcher-text cards and 3 Machina Redeployment copies make starter access redundant (Inferred)
• Strong Machine Xyz closers with verified high ATK (Verified stats)
• Three hand traps plus 6 negation-text cards give going-second interaction (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Extra Deck of 17 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15, so the list is Illegal (Verified)
• No sideboard, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Archetype label Orcust does not match the list: 1 of 42 main cards is named Orcust and only 3 of 21 Orcust core cards appear (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so the median and ceiling are not measured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck size must be cut to 15 before the list can be scored normally (Verified)
• Machine Xyz boss monsters depend on Machine-only material lines (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality.status = Illegal; Extra Deck 17 vs OCG maximum 15 (size_warnings); Limited banlist copies all within limit: Foolish Burial 1, Harpie's Feather Duster 1, Gustav Max 1; Main deck 42 cards within [40,60]; Side Deck size 0; Archetype purity: 1 exact Orcust copy of 42 main cards; Core Orcust usage: 3 of 21 core cards present
• Inferred: Searcher access P(at least one in hand5) ≈ 0.92; Midrange/Toolbox/Tempo strategy read from card text and composition; Going-first and going-second plan text; Dimension scores D1–D14 from card text and structure
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup outcomes unknown Side deck is empty; post-side performance cannot be evaluated Archetype label (Orcust) does not match the card pool (Machina/Train); usage statistics describe a different build Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
