Horus Deck #772977 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz/Synchro boss monsters (Mortilux Heruvur, Ashtraja Susanoo, Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny, Akasuna the Battle Ashtra) reached through Maliss and Ashtra Special Summon chains; Horus recursion from King's Sarcophagus into Imsety, Duamutef and Hapi for board pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Maliss or Ashtra starters (Maliss Chessy Cat, Maliss March Hare, Yoa the Plague Ashtra, Akasuna) and fish for a Link or Synchro boss; the 14 singleton main-deck cards make the plan hand-dependent
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and other hand traps to answer the first starter, then use Maliss or Ashtra Special Summon effects to rebuild the board; no evidence of a stable second-turn plan
• Recovery: Recover through Maliss banish-cost searchers (Maliss in Underground, Maliss MTP-07, Red Ransom) and Horus graveyard Special Summons from King's Sarcophagus
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter about half the time: the four archetype-core copies give P(≥1 in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.43, and searcher text covers ≈ 0.78 of hands (Inferred). Its engine is split across Maliss, Ashtra, Horus, Live☆Twin, Evil★Twin and Bystial, with only 5 of 50 archetype-tagged copies sharing the exact Horus name, so conversion depends on the hand matching a specific route. Interaction is the strongest part: 14 removal-text and 6 negation-text cards plus 3 hand traps give layered answers (Inferred semantic read). The closing power comes from Link and Synchro bosses at 3000+ ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage data shows this list runs only 2 of 6 core cards, and the score is not an average of card scores. Legality caps the result: Ash Blossom at 3 copies exceeds the Semi-Limited limit of 2, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read and it receives no normal Final score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Banlist exposure: over-limit Semi-Limited card (-5); Engine conflicts (-4); No post-side plan (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Illegal deck, theoretical structural-only read with score capped low

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

• Layered interaction: 14 removal-text cards, 6 negation-text cards and 3 hand traps
• Searcher density (10 cards) gives a high chance of finding a starter
• Strong Link and Synchro closers (Mortilux Heruvur, Ashtraja Susanoo, Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low archetype coherence: 9.1% exact-name purity across six sub-archetypes
• High singleton count (14 of 25 main cards) raises brick and conflicting-hand risk
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• The Horus core (King's Sarcophagus plus Imsety, Duamutef, Hapi) appears in only 2 of 6 usage-stat core cards
• Each starter route depends on a specific Maliss or Ashtra card in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs limit 2; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side count is 0; Card text and stats for all 40 main and 15 Extra cards
• Inferred: Starter access 0.43 and searcher access 0.78 (hypergeometric); Route redundancy and brick risk from singleton count and archetype spread; Interaction density from text read
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the export
