Fire King Deck #772698 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King Garunix and Garunix Eternity (2700-3000 ATK) backed by board-clearing effects and hand-trap protection; Link and Xyz beaters (Raging Phoenix 2800, TY-PHON 2900, Zealantis 2500) that follow up after the Fire King board is cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King starter (Kirin, Arvata, Ulcanix, Ponix) and protect it with Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Evenly Matched or Veiler while converting into a Garunix
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand, which holds a hand trap about 88% of the time, to negate the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Fire King self-summons from hand and GY
• Recovery: Fire King monsters destroyed by card effect or battle re-summon from GY or hand (Kirin, Garunix, Ponix, Barong), and Sky Burn or Island can refill the board
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck has a real Fire King engine: five self-summoning starters, a 25-copy archetype core that opens at least one card in about 95% of 5-card hands, and a dense hand-trap suite that makes it strong going second. Its ceiling comes from Garunix-based board clears followed by 2500-3000 ATK Link and Xyz finishers, but no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. Its weaknesses are a 57-card main deck with only 33% exact-archetype purity, 15 hand traps and generic staples that create brick risk, and no side deck. The list is illegal (Kashtira Fenrir Forbidden, Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse over their limits), so the structural score of about 59 is theoretical and the final score is capped at 30. The score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and finishers, not from Fire King's popularity or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 95 for a meta-neutral structural score. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural (meta-neutral, D13 dropped, /95) = 59; TR = 50; 0.80*59 + 0.20*50 = 57; banlist modifier -12 gives 45; illegal list capped at 30 per rubric Step 2 (theoretical only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Five self-summoning Fire King starters give a high opening-hand engine rate
• Dense hand-trap suite (Ash, Impermanence, Evenly, Veiler, Nibiru, Dominus) is strong going second
• Extra Deck has real finishers: Garunix Eternity, TY-PHON, Raging Phoenix, Zealantis

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Kashtira Fenrir Forbidden x3; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse over limit
• 57-card main deck is bloated; only 33% exact-archetype purity
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No combo, tournament or guide evidence to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Fire King monster destruction chains: the engine depends on a FIRE monster being destroyed
• Restricted-card limits: Ash, Dominus and Droll cannot all be run as listed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (Kashtira Fenrir Forbidden x3; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse x3 each over limit 2); Main 57 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side 0; Archetype purity 33.3% exact name; Fire King 24 copies, Mulcharmy 6 copies
• Inferred: Engine consistency P(>=1 core in hand of 5) = 0.95; Going-second hand-trap P(>=1 in 6) = 0.88; Interaction density and board-clear capability from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No side deck: post-side adaptability unevaluable No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for this deck Deck title is null
