Orcust Deck #772583 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro pressure from Sky Striker Ace and R.B. Link monsters, with Night Train Blue Traveler and Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon as heavier boards; R.B. Ga10 and Mulcharmy draw-and-disruption attrition over a long game
• Turn 1 (going first): R.B. Stage Landing or Exceptional Schedule into R.B. Ga10 Driller or Pile Bunker, then R.B. VALCan Booster or Brute Blues to build board; hold Ash Blossom and Solemn Judgment for the first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) and Mulcharmy draw effects to trade cards while the board is established, then R.B. Next Phase or Lightning Storm to clear the field
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw engines, Scrap Recycler draws, and Clockwork Night recursion for an EARTH Machine
• After siding: No side deck is run, so there is no post-side plan; the list is structural and theoretical only

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped to a theoretical, structural-only read. The structure is an R.B. engine (23 cards) with Train, Mulcharmy, Sky Striker and Scrap support, plus 7 hand traps and 13 tech cards, which gives it strong interaction density (D7 70) and reasonable going-second disruption. The deck does not build a clean engine: the Orcust archetype label is not reflected in the cards (0 exact-name Orcust copies, 69 off-archetype copies), so the starters are spread across several sub-archetypes and the consistency score is held down. No combo boards, no tournament data and no side deck were supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and the meta read is provisional. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity; it reflects the system's consistency, interaction and resource shape with a low confidence band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 49.5, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); illegal list cap (-13.6). Final formula: No dated meta, so 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*49.5 + 0.20*40 = 47.6; less 4 banlist modifier = 43.6; Illegal cap applied (no normal Final score, theoretical/structural-only) = 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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

• R.B. engine has 23 cards with two independent starter types (Stage Landing, Ga10 Driller/Cutter/Pile Bunker)
• Interaction breadth: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Evenly Matched, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and R.B. Next Phase
• Card draw and recursion from Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia, Scrap Recycler and Clockwork Night
• Extra Deck is used fully with 14 Link monsters and Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon as a 2500 ATK body

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Archetype label Orcust does not match the cards: 0 Orcust copies, 0% exact-name purity
• Heavy singleton count (18 of 31 distinct main cards) raises brick and conflicting-hand risk
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• No combo boards or win-rate data; the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Starter access for the R.B. engine depends on R.B. Stage Landing or Exceptional Schedule (P >= 1 about 0.26 going first)
• Going-first hands with no hand trap and no starter rely on Mulcharmy or Scrap Recycler draw
• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom must be fixed before any play-based evaluation

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 54 cards, Extra 15, Side 0 (within OCG size rules); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies, Semi-Limited limit 2 (violation); Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones are Limited and run at 1 (legal); The Fallen & The Virtuous is Semi-Limited and run at 2 (legal); Extra Deck is 14 Link monsters and 1 Synchro monster; 0 exact-name Orcust copies; 69 off-archetype copies
• Observed: Usage statistics show the archetype core (Girsu, Enlilgirsu, Orcustrated Babel, S:P Little Knight) is absent from this list
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density and going-second disruption from card text; Consistency and brick rate scores; Toolbox primary strategy from the mixed sub-archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and Matchup/format fit (D13); Tournament Reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability is unscored Stored archetype Orcust is not reflected in the card list Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
