Horus Deck #770999 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Unclear: Imsety, Glory of Horus and Hapi (Horus) plus Tearlaments fusions and Fiendsmith link/fusion boards compete for the same slots; no single finisher is supported by the list.; Tearlaments Rulkallos / Kaleido-Heart boards via Tearlaments Reinoheart and Scream, if the Tearlaments subset is isolated.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a starter (Tearlaments Scream, Reinoheart, Imsety, Skull Archfiend) with Walls of the Imperial Tomb / Fiendsmith Tract, then extend with Tearlaments Scheiren or Merrli; the Horus and Fiendsmith lines are not enabled by the same card pool.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Tearlaments Cryme / Sulliek for disruption, then rebuild through Tearlaments searchers; the second-turn line depends on the Tearlaments subset surviving.
• Recovery: Recursion comes from King's Sarcophagus, Doll Hammer and Tearlaments Grief / Heartbeat; Imsety and Hapi can return from the GY only while King's Sarcophagus is on the field.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The list does not open a single functional plan: it splits its starters across Tearlaments, Horus and Fiendsmith, and the archetype's exact-name purity is 5.7%, so most of the 53 Main Deck cards do not belong to one engine. Searcher text is present in 28 cards (about 98% to hit at least one in a 5-card opening, Inferred), so the deck reliably finds something, but the three starter groups of 3 copies each sit around 26% per copy to appear in the opening hand. No recorded boards exist, so conversion and floor/median output are text-only inferences and are scored conservatively. Interaction is the most supported part of the list (negation and removal text in 22 cards, 3 hand traps), which keeps the score from falling lower. The score is capped by legality: two Forbidden cards are in the Main Deck and the Extra Deck is 2 over the OCG maximum, so the result is theoretical/structural only. Popularity of the Horus archetype and card-level power were not credited, and no averaging of card scores was used.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra_deck_oversize (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal deck capped low and labelled 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

• Searcher density (28 cards) gives a high chance of finding some starter
• Interaction breadth: 3 hand traps, Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, negation and removal text in 22 cards
• Real popular core: Imsety and Hapi are in the archetype's usage core

Weaknesses

• Three incompatible engines (Tearlaments, Horus, Fiendsmith) with 5.7% exact-name purity
• Two Forbidden cards and an oversized Extra Deck make the list illegal in OCG
• No side deck at all, so no post-side adaptation
• High non-engine count (27 level-0 spells/traps) raises brick risk

Critical choke points

• Imsety and Hapi require King's Sarcophagus on the field to be recycled from the GY
• Most Tearlaments lines need Scream or Reinoheart, each at 3 copies (≈0.26 per opening hand)
• Forbidden cards must be removed before the list is playable at all

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status with Forbidden copy-limit violations for Triple Tactics Talent and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon; Extra Deck size 17 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Main 53 (within 40–60), Side 0, exact-name archetype purity 5.7%; Imsety, Hapi and Skull Archfiend are present; King's Sarcophagus x2 is present
• Inferred: D1 hypergeometric starter access (≈0.26 per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand); Brick risk from 27 level-0 spells/traps and three split engines; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament share)
• 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, starter and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; archetype name is the only identifier Side deck is empty; no post-side evidence
