| Tournament Reliability | 55 |

Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Xyz Summon high-ATK Gimmick Puppet bosses (Number C40, Number 40, Giant Hunter/Grinder) off the Gimmick Puppet searchers and recursion, then remove or destroy the opponent's board; Imsety and Mannadium Prime-Heart as off-theme beatsticks, with a Chaos/Phantom Knights Rank-Up-Magic bridge
- Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Gimmick Puppet, search or recycle a second puppet via Mansion of the Dreadful Dolls or Rouge Doll, then reach a Level 8 or 9 Xyz for a removal boss
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Red Reboot and Fiendish Knight to answer the first summon or Trap, then rebuild through the Gimmick Puppet graveyard recursion
- Recovery: Rebuild from the graveyard with Dreary Doll, Terror Baby and Cattle Scream, and re-search the Gimmick Puppet monsters and Field Spells
- After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system: a Gimmick Puppet engine with about 30 copies, 16 searcher-text cards and 17 removal-text cards that reliably opens a searcher line and converts it into Xyz boss pressure. Its interaction (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Fiendish Knight, Crossout Designator) and graveyard recursion give it resilience after disruption, while its Xyz bosses (Number C40, Number 40, Giant Hunter, Giant Grinder) give it closing power. The declared Horus archetype is a weak signal: only 2 cards are Horus and the archetype purity is 3.6%, so the deck is really a Gimmick Puppet build. Costs are a 40-card list with no Side Deck, no recorded combos, no tournament link and no win-rate data, so the score rests on Inferred structure. Popularity and usage stats were not credited, and card scores were not averaged. The list is illegal, with two copies of a Limited Xyz and a Forbidden CXyz, so it is capped as a theoretical, structural-only read.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 66 | P(at least 1 searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.94; Gimmick Puppet density is high but the 2-card Imsety core is off-engine (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | Many single-copy and dead-without-Xyz cards (Rainbow Bridge, Condolence, Mansion), 18 Level 0 spells/traps, no measured brick rate (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No recorded boards; Xyz-chain ceiling read from card text (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards; median output is a semantic guess and is lowered for the Imsety/Phantom Knights fringe (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 68 | Ash x2, Maxx C, Red Reboot and Fiendish Knight plus GY recursion (Dreary Doll, Terror Baby, Cattle Scream) give several independent continuations (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 65 | Recursion and search density (Mansion, Rouge Doll, Walls of the Imperial Tomb, Fantasix Machinix) support a grind plan (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 70 | Giant Grinder, Giant Hunter and Number 40 strings give layered removal; Red Reboot and Ash add negation (Inferred from text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 65 | Going-second answers come from Ash, Maxx C, Red Reboot and the Xyz removal bosses; no going-second data (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Number C40 3300 ATK and Number 40 3000 ATK are strong closers; Imsety and Mannadium Prime-Heart are 3000 ATK; CXyz is Forbidden (Verified stats, Inferred plan) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | 40 Main cards with 25 distinct cards and 53 off-exact-archetype copies; compact but loosely coherent (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | 15 Extra cards: 10 Xyz, 3 Synchro (Mannadium off-engine), 2 Link; Extra slots are mostly on-plan (Verified composition, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 20 | No Side Deck at all, so no post-side adaptability (Verified: Side Deck size 0) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament share, meta sample or matchup data; left at a neutral Provisional value |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 50 | Multi-step Xyz chains with many decision points for a non-expert pilot (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no Side Deck (-4); off_archetype_core (-2). Final formula: Theoretical cap for an Illegal list: pre-cap = 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) + Modifiers(-12) = 46; capped to 35 (structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score). Meta provisional.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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
- Large Gimmick Puppet engine with dense searcher text
- Layered interaction: Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Fiendish Knight, Crossout Designator
- Strong Xyz closers at 3000+ ATK
- Graveyard recursion gives continuation after disruption
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: two copies of a Limited Xyz and a Forbidden CXyz
- No Side Deck
- Declared Horus archetype is barely present (2 cards), so the archetype label is misleading
- Several main-deck cards depend on the Xyz zone and are dead on a bad draw
Critical choke points
- Reaching a Level 8 or 9 Xyz on turn 1 or 2 depends on a single puppet being live
- Number C40 and Number 40 are the main removal and closing bosses, but each needs its own Limited slot
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One copy of Number C40: Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings | Nothing (legal copy limit is 1) | Fixes the over-limit violation without changing the engine |
| 2 | CXyz Gimmick Puppet Fanatix Machinix | A legal Gimmick Puppet Xyz or a non-Forbidden Gimmick Puppet boss | Forbidden in OCG; cannot be legally played |
| 3 | Off-archetype Mannadium Prime-Heart (3) | A Gimmick Puppet Synchro or Xyz, or fewer Extra slots | Improves Extra Deck coherence |
| 4 | Nothing | A 10-15 card Side Deck | Adds post-side adaptability, which is absent today |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: 2 violations (Number C40 2 copies vs limit 1; CXyz Forbidden); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Card text and stats for all listed cards; Archetype purity 3.6% and 53 off-archetype copies
- Observed: Usage stats: 1 of 5 core Horus cards present (20%)
- Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from the hypergeometric probabilities; Structural dimension scores D1-D14 from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
- Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated metagame sample
- Data gaps: No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate or telemetry data for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no title and no Side Deck
