Heroic Deck #772988 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Destiny HERO - Dogma / Destro-Dogma, Destiny End Dragoon, Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X Dragon, Number 38) reached through Fusion Destiny, Metamorphosis, Xyz summons and the Horus / Kaiju recursion lines; Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Dark Magician of Destruction as fusion pressure; Galaxy-Eyes X as an end-board closer
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with one of the 9 searcher-text cards (D - Force, Imsety, Trade-In, Gadarla) and build toward a Fusion or Xyz boss; no Kaiju or Horus starter is guaranteed, so T1 depends on hand-trap and draw-based stabilisation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Solemn Warning, Solemn Judgment, Maxx C and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first starter, then recover through Horus and Kaiju revival from the GY while King's Sarcophagus is live
• Recovery: King's Sarcophagus revives Horus and Kaiju monsters from the GY, and Imsety / Duamutef / Hapi / Qebehsenuef / Gameciel give the deck its only recursion; this is the deck's real recovery route
• After siding: No side deck is run (Side Deck size 0); no post-side plan can be evaluated and this is marked provisional

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards, and it is evaluated as structural-only because the list is Illegal: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is Forbidden in OCG and is run at 1 copy. The main deck is 55 cards with 12 singleton lines and only 2 two-of lines, and 70 of 85 main-plus-extra copies are off the exact Heroic name, so the list is a multi-engine pile (Destiny HERO fusion, Horus and Kaiju recursion, Galaxy-Eyes and Cipher Xyz, Number Xyz, True Draco, Magician) rather than one coherent engine. Only 2 of 15 core Heroic cards (for example Masked HERO Furnace, Reinforcement of the Army, Polymerization) are present, which lowers accessibility and explains the 0.675 proxy brick rate for the archetype core. Interaction is the deck's real strength: 7 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards and 20 removal-text cards give layered answers, and the Extra Deck carries several high-ATK bosses (Galaxy-Eyes Cipher X at 4000, Destiny HERO - Dogma at 3400). No combo boards, tournament link or win-rate telemetry were supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and popularity did not earn any points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 40, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflicts (-6). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(40) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) = 38 before modifiers; modifiers -10 give 28. Meta provisional. Reported as structural-only, not a normal final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.61 · 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: 7 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses reachable through Fusion Destiny and Metamorphosis
• Horus and Kaiju recursion from the GY gives a recovery route when King's Sarcophagus is live

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is Forbidden in OCG
• No coherent engine: 70 of 85 main-plus-extra copies are off the exact Heroic name
• Only 2 of 15 Heroic core cards present; archetype-core brick rate 0.675 in opening 5
• 12 singleton lines reduce consistency
• No side deck (Side Deck size 0)

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus is the single gate for every Horus and most Kaiju recursion lines
• Fusion Destiny and Metamorphosis are the only fusion enablers for the Destiny HERO boss plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, from Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon (Forbidden, 1 copy); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0, all within the OCG size rules; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within limits; Usage stats: 2 of 15 core cards present (13.3%)
• Inferred: Starter access 0.61 from the searcher-text group; Archetype-core brick rate 0.675 from the proxy group; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Pilotability from engine count and decision points
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck)
• 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 absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample deck title is null side deck is empty
