Kashtira Deck #772554 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira and Fire King boss monsters (Kashtira Fenrir/Unicorn, Garunix Eternity, Promethean Princess) grinding through the board after hand-trap protection, though Fenrir is Forbidden in this list; Link-based board pressure from Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, Amblowhale and Phoenix
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King starter (Ponix, Ulcanix, Arvata) or Kashtira Riseheart, search a second Fire King or Kashtira piece, and keep Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Droll, Nibiru) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild a board through Fire King or Kashtira boss summons
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY with Kashtiratheosis, Kashtira Birth and Fire King Sanctuary/Island recursion, and from the banished zone via Kashtira Birth
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards (Kashtira Fenrir x3, Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent) and five copy-limit overages, so the normal Final Contextual formula is not applied and the score is capped at 25 as a structural-only read. Structurally the deck is a Fire King and Kashtira midrange hybrid: its engine is spread across one-card Fire King starters and Kashtira pieces (only 8 exact Kashtira name copies, 20 Fire King), and roughly 63% of openers contain at least one of the 10-copy Kashtira core (Inferred). Its interaction is dense (14 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards, 38 removal-text cards), which supports going-second play, but the list has no side deck and 23 tech slots, which dilutes consistency. Popularity and the archetype's meta reputation earned no points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 46.8 before modifiers; -8 banlist exposure gives 38.8; capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.63 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage (14 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards)
• Broad Extra Deck coverage across 11 Link and 4 Xyz monsters
• Real Fire King and Kashtira boss threats (Garunix, Zealantis, Fenrir)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden cards and copy-limit overages
• Only 8 exact Kashtira name copies, so the archetype engine is thin
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• 23 tech cards dilute consistency

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Forbidden or Limited cards (Fenrir, Droll, Solemn, Unicorn) for interaction and board presence
• Fire King starters that require a live FIRE monster on board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with 7 copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations; 57 main, 15 extra, 0 side counts; Archetype usage: Kashtira core 10 copies in deck; No combos and no tournament data present
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (0.63 core, 0.83 hand-trap group); Going-first and going-second plan quality; Structural dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal: Forbidden and over-limit cards make the list non-playable in OCG as written 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 — post-side plan cannot be assessed no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
