Orcust Deck #771933 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Xyz board pressure from Orcust Link monsters (Orcustrion, Galatea, Longirsu) into high-ATK Xyz and Link beaters (Dingirsu, Borrelsword Dragon, Super Starslayer TY-PHON); Fusion beatdown via Chimeratech Overdragon / Fortress / Megafleet Dragon once the Extra Deck is accessible
• Turn 1 (going first): Clockwork Night or Orcust Harp Horror to search and Special Summon a Machine/Orcust, then Orcustrated Core or Babel to set up Link Summons and protect the engine with Ash Blossom, Imperm and Crescendo
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster to answer the opponent's first search or Summon, then rebuild from the GY with Orcust Cymbal Skeleton and Harp Horror
• Recovery: Recycle from the GY via Orcust Cymbal Skeleton, Orcust Harp Horror, Orcustrated Return and Galatea-I to rebuild a Link board from the Deck
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; any post-side plan is Inferred only

Why it scores here

This is a theoretical, structural-only score because the list is illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2, and carries 21 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15. The archetype core is reliably reachable (P of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.96, Inferred), and the deck has dense interaction (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Harpie's Feather Duster, Droll & Lock Bird, Orcust Crescendo, Disablaster). Its closing power comes from several 2600–3000 ATK Link and Xyz beaters, but no recorded boards, combo medians, or tournament results exist, so floor and median output are estimated from text only. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from the popularity of Orcust (usage data only shows the list is an accessible, standard build) and not from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54.7, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); illegal_cap (-22). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural-only. Unrounded 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TR = 53.8 before modifiers; the illegal cap brings it to 30 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always reachable in the opening hand (≈0.96 Inferred)
• Dense, layered interaction: six hand traps plus Feather Duster, Droll, Crescendo and Disablaster
• Several high-ATK Link and Xyz closers in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom run at 3 copies and 21 Extra Deck cards
• Extra Deck is oversized and includes several non-core Link and Fusion options
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Orcust Harp Horror and Girsu are singletons in the engine tree; each is only ≈0.28 to appear in a 5-card opening hand
• Extra Deck overflow means the illegal list must be cut before it can be played in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs legal 2; Extra Deck 21 vs maximum 15; Main Deck is 50 cards, inside the 40–60 range; Side Deck is 0; Archetype purity 32.4% exact-name; 48 off-archetype copies; Banlist tokens for Limited and Semi-Limited restricted cards
• Inferred: Archetype core P(≥1 in 5) ≈ 0.96; Interaction density from card text (6 hand traps, Feather Duster, Droll, Crescendo, Disablaster); Closing power from Link and Xyz ATK values (Orcustrion 3000, Borrelsword 3000, Dingirsu 2600 x2, TY-PHON 2900)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link); Side deck adaptability (no side cards)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second split, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty
