Orcust Deck #771315 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Link-Summon engine (R.B. / Sky Striker / Orcust)
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-field boards and direct attacks from R.B. / Sky Striker / Orcust Link monsters (theoretical; no recorded boards); Nibiru, the Primal Being and Therion King Regulus as high-ATK finishers if summoned
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (R.B. Stage Landing, Triple Tactics Thrust, Mulcharmy draw engine) and Link Summon from the hand; no combo steps are recorded, so this is structural only
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with 13 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Link Summons
• Recovery: Searchers (Sky Striker Mobilize, Clockwork Knight, Galatea-I, Barricadeborg Blocker) and recursion via R.B. Operation Test and Lambda Cannon
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no side deck (side count 0)

Why it scores here

This 54-card Main Deck spreads across at least seven archetype families (R.B., Sky Striker, Mulcharmy, Mekk-Knight, Orcust, Therion, Cyclone) and only one card carries the exact Orcust name, so the list is a toolbox rather than a focused engine. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: 13 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give it a real answer to the first board, which lifts the interaction and going-second dimensions. Opening consistency is weak: the archetype core hits at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand about 70 percent of the time, but most of the engines are single copies that depend on specific links, so bricks and conflicting Link Summons are likely. There are no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and the deck has no side deck. The score is capped because the deck is illegal (three Ash Blossoms against a limit of two, and 16 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15), so this is a structural read only. Popularity of the Orcust name, archetype usage statistics and the card scores were not averaged or used to add points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Midrange not blended in. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-8); Extra Deck size overflow (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 45.2, then illegal-deck modifiers -12 and cap => 33

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · 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

• Broad layered interaction: 13 hand traps plus negation and removal text cards
• Board-breaking and recovery options: Lightning Storm, Raigeki, Evenly Matched, R.B. Operation Test
• High-ATK finishers when summoned: Nibiru 3000, Therion King Regulus 2800

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit violation and Extra Deck overflow
• Three or more engines with 1.4 percent exact-archetype purity leads to conflicting Link Summons
• Many single-copy engine pieces make the core unreliable on a 5-card opening
• No side deck and no recorded boards

Critical choke points

• Link Summons depend on specific Link Monster and material pairs, so a single hand-trap response can break the line
• Ash Blossom over the copy limit means the list cannot be played as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 times against a limit of 2; Extra Deck of 16 exceeds the 15-card OCG maximum; Copy histogram: 18 single, 6 double, 8 triple copies in the Main Deck; Exact-archetype purity of 1.4 percent with 9 Sky Striker and 23 R.B. cards; Side deck is empty (side count 0)
• Inferred: Core-engine access of about 0.70 for at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand; Hand-trap coverage of about 0.83 for at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density is high based on card text; Consistency is limited by the number of single-copy engine pieces
• Provisional: Meta power and format 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 match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null
