Fire King Deck #772940 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King XYZ and Link boss monsters (Garunix Eternity, High Avatar Garunix, Sacred Fire King Garunix) converting board advantage into a 2700 to 3000 ATK end-board; Synchro beatdown from Jurrac Meteor and Jurrac Astero, plus Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon as a 3000 ATK boss
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Fire King starter (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix, Arvata) searches or summons a second FIRE body, then a Synchro or Link extender into a boss; the deck has 96.9% odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll and Lock Bird) answer the opponent's first activation or summon, then Fire King revival and recursion rebuild the board; estimated 49% chance of a hand trap in the 6-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY through Garunix and Ash-style revival effects, with Fire King Island and Sanctuary as backrow resources; no combo boards were supplied, so the recovery line is text-derived (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be read from the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck's structural read is moderately strong on paper: 18 searcher-text cards and a 96.9% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred) give it reliable early access to its engine. Interaction is a real strength, with three Ash Blossom copies, Droll and Lock Bird, and Fire King removal and negation, which keeps the line live through common disruption. Boss-level end-boards (Garunix Eternity, the High Avatar Garunix line, and Flamberge) supply closing power. Those strengths are capped by the list being illegal in OCG: a Forbidden card, three Semi-Limited Ash Blossoms, and two Limited WANTED copies are all over their limits, and the side deck is empty. The score was not based on popularity: the archetype-core usage share (57.9% of listed core cards present) only confirms the list is real, and the 31% exact-name purity is treated as a dilution cost, not a bonus. Card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (Midrange profile used directly). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); empty side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 55.4; modifiers total -12 gives 43; capped to 30 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher text (18 cards) makes the engine reliably accessible on turn 1 to 2
• Layered interaction: three Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, and Fire King negations and removal
• Boss monsters at 2700 to 3000 ATK provide closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: a Forbidden card and three copies over Limited or Semi-Limited limits
• Empty side deck, so no post-side adaptation in best-of-3
• Low exact archetype purity (30.9%) with many off-archetype and generic cards
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and floor are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Any opening that depends on Ash Blossom copies beyond the legal limit of 2
• Single-copy Fire King engine pieces (Arvata, High Avatar Garunix) for going-second recovery

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with three copy-limit violations (Forbidden card and Ash Blossom and WANTED over limit); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0; size rules satisfied; Archetype purity 30.9% and composition counts
• Observed: Usage statistics: 11 of 19 core cards present (57.9%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, brick and hand-trap odds; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup figures are Inferred or Unknown Side deck is empty, so post-side is unevaluated Deck title is null
