Orcust Deck #771309 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Orcust Link and Xyz boards (Galatea, Enlilgirsu, Dingirsu, Longirsu) built through Orcust recursion and World Legacy follow-ups, closing through 2,500 to 3,000 ATK boss monsters; Pressure from The Great Gallant Bandit and Borrel/Predaplant-adjacent Extra Deck boards, if the Orcust engine stalls
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Orcust Knightmare, Orcust Cymbal Skeleton, Orcust Harp Horror, or Girsu) and link out through Orcust recursion, then keep Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, or Droll & Lock Bird up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use six-card hand Hand Traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll) to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Orcustrated Babel and World Legacy Wand/Crown
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on empty boards, Orcustrated Return and Foolish Burial rebuild the GY, and Orcust Crescendo recovers a banished DARK Machine
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: three Semi-Limited cards (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Foolish Burial Goods, Dominus Impulse) are run three times against an OCG limit of two, so it receives a structural read only and the score is capped low. The Orcust core is consistent: the archetype core group has a 97.7% chance of at least one piece in a five-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Extra Deck (10 Links, 2 Xyz, 3 Fusion) gives broad Link and Xyz access. Interaction is dense, with 11 hand traps, 22 negation-text cards and 27 removal-text cards, which lifts the interaction dimension. The score does not come from averaging card scores or from Orcust being a popular archetype: no combo boards are recorded, so the conversion and median dimensions rest on text reads only. The list has no Side Deck and only 27 distinct main-deck cards with 27% exact-archetype purity, so flexibility and post-side adaptation score low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53.5, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-10); No Side Deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 51.8, then Illegal copy-limit modifiers applied and capped low; theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Orcust core is nearly always accessible in an opening hand (Inferred)
• Dense interaction: 11 hand traps and 22 negation-text cards
• Broad Link and Xyz Extra Deck coverage with 2,500+ ATK boss options

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three cards exceed the OCG copy limit
• Low exact-archetype purity (27%) and many off-archetype staples
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combo boards to confirm conversion or median output

Critical choke points

• Illegal copy limits must be fixed before any play-level read is valid
• Single-copy Galatea and Enlilgirsu Link access depends on the Orcust starter surviving hand traps

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom, Foolish Burial Goods and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against a limit of 2; Side Deck is empty (0 cards); Extra Deck: 10 Link, 2 Xyz, 3 Fusion
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Girsu 87.5%, Ash Blossom 72.9%, Harp Horror 77.1%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 70.8% inclusion
• Inferred: Archetype core group P(≥1 in opening hand) ≈ 0.98 (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high based on negation and hand-trap text; Structural scoring with the Combo profile gives 53.5
• Provisional: Meta Power and tournament reliability (no dated metagame or tournament link)
• 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 — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side analysis is not possible
