Fire King Deck #772558 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Unclear: no recorded combo boards; the list mixes Fire King, Snake-Eye, Mulcharmy, Sinful Spoils, Azamina, Bystial and Dominus engines, so no single finisher is reliable.; Link and Xyz beaters (Promethean Princess, Garunix Eternity, Zealantis-style boards are not all present).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Fire King or Snake-Eye starters and disruption, then convert through Fire King Island / Sanctuary loops. Not verifiable from the evidence (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse) to slow the opponent's starter, then a Link or Xyz board. Hand-trap density is the main plan (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recursion through Fire King Garunix / Ponix / Courtier Ulcanix GY effects and Snake-Eye Poplar; reliance is Inferred from card text.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This OCG list is labelled Fire King, but only 11 of 69 copies carry the exact archetype name (15.1% purity) and it mixes Mulcharmy, Sinful Spoils, Snake-Eye, Azamina, Bystial, Dominus and Charmer pieces, so the score reflects a system of conflicting engines rather than an average of card scores. Its starters are reachable in a 5-card hand about 24% of the time per 3-copy card, and the archetype core group is open in about 86% of hands (Inferred), which keeps accessibility mid-range. Conversion and median output cannot be measured because no combos were supplied, so those dimensions are Inferred text reads. Interaction is the strongest area, with 14 hand traps and 12 negation effects, which earns credit for going-second disruption. The deck is Illegal: it runs four Forbidden cards and four copy-limit overages, so the Final Contextual score is capped at 20 and labelled structural-only. Popularity and archetype usage (10 of 20 core cards present) did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; no single strategy dominates). Structural ≈ 40, Going First ≈ 36, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-5); copy_limit_overages (-4); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*40 + 0.20*25 + modifiers(-12) = 25; Illegal-deck cap applied, final 20 (structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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: 14 hand traps and 12 negation effects
• Full Extra Deck with Link and Xyz coverage
• Real archetype core present (Kirin, Arvata, Garunix, Ponix)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 4 Forbidden cards and 4 copy-limit overages
• Only 15.1% exact-name archetype purity; several engines conflict
• No Side Deck
• No combo data, so ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Starter density is low: each 3-copy card is about 24% to appear in a 5-card opening hand
• Fire King Island / Sanctuary loop depends on a single field spell

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 8 copy-limit violations and 4 Forbidden cards; Main 58, Extra 15, Side 0; Exact-name archetype purity 15.1%; Core cards present 10 of 20
• Inferred: Starter accessibility and brick rate from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from card-text read; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null
