Orcust Deck #771729 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-based board pressure from Mekk-Knight and World Legacy links (Crusadia Avramax 3000, Spectrum Supreme 3000, Underworld Goddess 3000) once the Mekk-Knight summon chain is live; Mekk-Knight Purple Nightfall / Blue Sky / Indigo Eclipse column summons backed by hand traps and World Legacy spells
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mekk-Knight or World Legacy starter with the 10-copy archetype core, use searchers (Cynet Mining, Mekk-Knight Blue Sky, World Legacy Succession) to reach a link, and hold Ash Blossom / Infinite Impermanence for the first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use one of 9 hand traps (about 68% to hold at least one in a 6-card hand) to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through the link monsters and Mekk-Knight summons
• Recovery: Re-search Mekk-Knight monsters or World Legacy cards from the Deck with Blue Sky, Morning Star and World Legacy Key, and re-summon from the GY through Succession and Memory
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a 2-copy OCG limit, so it is scored structurally only and its final score is capped at 30. Its strongest structural feature is interaction density: 9 hand traps, 22 negation-text cards and 18 removal-text cards give it a solid end-board and going-second answer layer (Inferred). The 10-copy Mekk-Knight/World Legacy core gives a reasonable chance of a live starter in the opening hand (about 65%, Inferred), but the list is only 1.4% exact-name Orcust and spreads across 27 distinct main-deck cards, so the engine is spread thin and brick-prone. There is no recorded board data and no side deck, so the combo ceiling, median output and post-side adaptability are unmeasured and kept low. The score reflects consistency and interaction on the system as a whole, not the popularity of Orcust and not an average of the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; Midrange profile used as-is for the structural score. Structural ≈ 50.6, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist/copy-limit exposure (-8); Illegal status cap (0); No side deck (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: Final = min(30, 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers) = min(30, 0.80*50.6 + 0.20*40 - 8) = 30 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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

• Dense interaction layer: 9 hand traps, 22 negation-text cards and 18 removal-text cards
• Core 10-copy Mekk-Knight/World Legacy engine with reasonable starter odds (about 65% in a 5-card hand)
• Three 3000-ATK link finishers in the Extra Deck
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (about 68% at least one in a 6-card hand)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in its current form: 3 copies of Ash Blossom against a 2-copy limit
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Spread across 27 distinct main-deck cards with 69 off-archetype copies, so the engine is thin and brick-prone
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Mekk-Knight and World Legacy starter access; one core-group miss leaves a brick hand
• Single 1-copy World Legacy Key and Scars for recovery
• Reliance on link summons for pressure with limited Extra Deck redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; main size within 40–60 and extra within 0–15; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs OCG limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Harpie's Feather Duster at 1 copy (Limited, legal); Card text for the 3000-ATK links (Avramax, Spectrum Supreme, Underworld Goddess); Composition counts (9 hand traps, 22 negation-text, 18 removal-text, 14 Link, 1 Synchro)
• Inferred: Starter odds: about 0.65 for at least one core-group card in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap odds: about 0.68 for at least one in a 6-card hand; Brick risk from 27 distinct main-deck cards and 69 off-archetype copies; Interaction quality from negation/removal text (semantic read)
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no tournament link, no meta share, no dated metagame sample); Meta Power (kept null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) No side deck registered (Side Deck size 0) No deck title (deck_name null) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
