Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Gladiator Beast Fusion/Link boards (Claudius, Heraklinos, Domitianus, Gyzarus, Dragases) converting Gistel and Equeste searches into 2-monster-level boards and removal (Inferred); Horus recursion through King's Sarcophagus (Imsety, Duamutef, Hapi) for extra board presence (Inferred)
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Gistel, Proving Ground, Flavian) and land a Gladiator Beast Special Summon chain into a Fusion or Link; Ash Blossom and Droll protect the first summon (Inferred)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Droll on the opponent's search and summon, then rebuild a board from the GY using Comeback or Equeste recursion (Inferred)
  • Recovery: Recycle Gistel and Equeste from the GY via their GY-recovery effects and Flavian to re-enter the Gladiator Beast engine (Inferred)
  • After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this export (Gap)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searchers (Gistel x3, Proving Ground x3, Flavian x2) and the archetype core give a high chance (about 0.86) that a starter is in the opening five, so the engine opens reliably on paper. Hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) and negation text give it real interaction, but no combo boards are recorded, so conversion and median output are text-only inferences. The Forbidden Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon in the Extra Deck makes the list illegal in OCG, which caps the score heavily; the score reflects structural strength only. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points: its 100% core inclusion confirms the list is real but does not make it strong.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 70 P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.86; archetype core present in 19 copies, P(core in hand) ≈ 0.95 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 55 Archetype purity is only 31.7% exact-name, with 41 off-archetype copies, which raises the brick and conflict risk (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 50 No parseable boards exist; the ceiling is a structural read of Fusion and Link summons from the Gladiator Beast core (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No recorded median output; the floor is inferred from starter redundancy and the 3-copy Gistel and Equeste searchers (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C protect the first summon, and GY recursion gives a second line; the diversity of starters is moderate (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 50 Recursion via Gistel, Equeste and Comeback gives moderate grind; no resource telemetry exists (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 Two Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C and Gladiator Beast War Chariot provide layered interaction, and Galaxy-Eyes and Domitianus add negation on the field (Verified text / Inferred quality)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Going-second split is absent; Domitianus and Galaxy-Eyes negation text suggest board-breaking capacity (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 60 Heraklinos at 3000 ATK, Claudius at 3700 ATK and Imsety at 3000 ATK provide closing boards (Verified stat / Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 62 45 Main Deck cards is within the 40–60 OCG range, but archetype purity is low, so coherence suffers (Verified size / Inferred coherence)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 60 Extra Deck has 15 cards with 9 Fusion, 4 Link and 2 Xyz; several Extra Deck cards are off-theme (Verified breakdown / Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 15 No side deck is registered in the export, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured (Gap)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link; the archetype is not linked to meta-share data (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Multi-step Gladiator Beast Special Summon chains and several Fusion and Link requirements raise the decision load (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with no secondary blend applied to the weights. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_forbidden_card (-15); limited_card_exposure (-5); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 52.2 before modifiers, then the illegal-deck cap applies, giving 30

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
  • Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
  • Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

  • Searcher density (14 searcher-text cards) gives high starter access
  • Layered hand traps and negation (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Droll, War Chariot) provide interaction
  • Strong Fusion and Link closers at 3000+ ATK

Weaknesses

  • Illegal in OCG because of Forbidden Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon
  • Low archetype purity (31.7%) with 41 off-archetype copies
  • No side deck and no recorded combos

Critical choke points

  • Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon must be removed before the deck is legal
  • Gistel and Equeste carry most of the recovery; losing them to hand traps is costly
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon A legal Extra Deck Gladiator Beast Fusion or Link monster Clears the Forbidden copy and makes the deck legal in OCG
2 Off-archetype Tech cards Gladiator Beast or Horus core cards Raises archetype purity above 31.7% and reduces brick risk
3 None A 5–10 card OCG side deck Enables a post-side plan so D12 can be measured

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal status and Forbidden Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon in the Extra Deck; Main 45 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Archetype core inclusion 100% for Gistel, Equeste and Mulcharmy; Card text for hand traps and searchers
  • Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in 5) ≈ 0.86 and core P ≈ 0.95; Brick risk from 31.7% archetype purity; Interaction quality of Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C and War Chariot
  • Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit, since no dated sample exists
  • 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 side deck registered — D12 cannot be measured no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
