Secret Six Samurai Deck #771523 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Special Summon chain, Synchro/Link extra deck
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boards from Six Samurai special-summon chains (Legendary Lord Shi En, Legendary Lord Enishi, Battle Shogun) supported by Kizan and Kageki beatsticks; Radiant Typhoon Fonix and Varuroon 3000-class bodies and Enemy Controller for going-second board control
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Six Samurai starter or Shien's Smoke Signal / Reinforcement of the Army, search a Six Samurai, then use hand Special Summons (Kizan, Kageki, Tactical Trainer, Anarchist Monk) to build a board and go to Synchro or Link
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow, Droll and Lock Bird) to slow the opponent, then rebuild through Six Samurai special summons and Radiant Typhoon Mystical Space Typhoon lines
• Recovery: Recurse Six Samurai from GY via Cunning of the Six Samurai and Gateway of the Six counters, Shien's Dojo, and Dark Magician of Chaos spell recursion
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export contains no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan can be read

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: a 19-copy Six Samurai core gives about 0.87 odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and about 0.94 odds of at least one searcher, so the engine is usually live by turn 1 or 2. Its strength as a system comes from having several independent hand Special Summon starters and recursion routes, and from 12 hand traps plus about 6 negation-text cards that let it answer going second. Conversion is credited from structure only, because the export has no recorded boards, so the ceiling (Synchro and Link boards with 2500-3000 ATK bodies) and the median are both Inferred and kept modest. The score is held down by the deck having no side deck in the export, by a Radiant Typhoon splash that depends on Mystical Space Typhoon, and by a low exact-name purity of 5.4 percent; popularity and meta share did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 57.6, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: empty side deck in export (-4); Radiant Typhoon MST dependence (-2); sub-archetype coherence (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated meta sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.13 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Live engine on turn 1-2: 0.87 odds of a core card in the opening 5 and 0.94 odds of a searcher
• Hand Special Summon starters (Kizan, Kageki, Tactical Trainer, Anarchist Monk, Radiant Typhoon Swen) give several independent lines
• 12 hand traps plus negation text give strong going-second interaction
• Synchro and Link extra deck with 2500-3000 ATK bodies closes the board

Weaknesses

• No side deck in the export, so best-of-3 adaptability cannot be scored
• Splash-heavy: 33 distinct main names, 14 singletons, 5.4 percent exact-name purity
• Radiant Typhoon package depends on 3 Mystical Space Typhoon
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are structural guesses

Critical choke points

• Turn 1 starter access depends on the 19-copy Six Samurai core; hands without it are dead without Smoke Signal or Reinforcement
• Radiant Typhoon activations depend on Mystical Space Typhoon being in the GY or the opponent having no Spell/Trap

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 59 main (40-60), 15 extra (0-15), 0 side, no violations; Restricted copies within limits: Droll and Lock Bird, Gateway of the Six, Radiant Typhoon Chant, Reinforcement of the Army (Limited 1 each), Ash Blossom (Semi-Limited 2); Archetype spread: Six Samurai 27, Radiant Typhoon 13, Secret Six Samurai 4
• Inferred: Core open-odds 0.87 and searcher open-odds 0.94 from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density high from hand traps plus negation text; Midrange classification from Special Summon chains and mixed extra deck
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no tournament link or dated meta sample; Going-second split: no recorded boards
• 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, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Side Deck size 0: side deck may be an export gap; post-side plan cannot be read Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
