Fire King Deck #772396 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Combo
• 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: Fire King Garunix / Garunix Eternity and Astero beatdown after a Fire King monster-destruction chain fills the board; Synchro and Link extension pressure (Jurrac Meteor, Jurrac Astero, Amblowhale, Raging Phoenix in list) once the field is cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Fire King Island / Fire King Sanctuary and monster-destruction chains (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix) to reach a Garunix or Garunix Eternity while holding hand traps for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Infinite Impermanence to stop the opponent's board, then Fire King revival to rebuild
• Recovery: Fire King revival from GY (Kirin, Garunix, Ponix special-summon conditions) and Fossil Dig / Searcher routes to rebuild a starter
• After siding: Not evaluable: no Side Deck is present (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

Scored on the system, not by averaging card scores: the Fire King core (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix, Garunix at 3 copies each) gives an approximately 93% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, which earns the consistency and engine-access dimensions. Interaction density is high (16 hand traps and about 31 removal-text cards), which lifts the endboard and going-second scores. The deck is held back by brick and dead-card risk (29 distinct main-deck cards, only 33% exact-archetype purity, several Limited one-offs such as One for One, Pot of Prosperity and Harpie's Feather Duster), by the lack of any recorded combo boards, and by no side deck. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real but do not add points. The 30-point final is capped because the list is Illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2), so this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: Final = 0.80·Structural + 0.20·TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80·54.4 + 0.20·45 − 6 ≈ 46.6, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (copy-limit violation); theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• High interaction density: 16 hand traps and about 31 removal-text cards
• Reliable archetype-core access (about 93% at least one core card in hand of 5)
• Strong going-second answers: Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll, Infinite Impermanence
• Real closing options via FIRE Xyz and Synchro bosses (Garunix Eternity 3000 ATK, Astero 2500 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation (Ash Blossom at 3 copies)
• Low exact-archetype purity (33%) and many off-archetype tech cards
• No Side Deck (side_count 0), so post-side adaptation is impossible
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inference

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count is illegal until one copy is removed
• Dependence on Fire King monster-destruction chains for the Garunix payoff
• Limited one-offs (Pot of Prosperity, One for One, Harpie's Feather Duster, Droll & Lock Bird) cost slots and create dead-draw risk

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 55 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards (legal size range for OCG); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run, OCG legal limit 2 (illegal); Archetype usage stats: Fire King core cards with high inclusion
• Observed: Usage stats show the Fire King core (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix, Garunix) is standard in this archetype
• Inferred: ≈93% core access in opening hand (hypergeometric); Interaction density and going-second value read from card text; Brick and dead-card risk from composition and Limited one-offs; Garunix and Garunix Eternity closing read from card text
• Provisional: Format fit and matchup profile (no tournament or meta data); Meta-share and competitive viability
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link or archetype meta-share (D13 provisional) No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) No Side Deck (D12 cannot be measured) Meta Power is Provisional (no dated metagame sample)
