Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 52 |
| Going First | 50 |
| Going Second | 62 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 42 |
- Primary strategy: Midrange
- Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
- Format: ocg
Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fire King and Link/Xyz boss pressure (Garunix Eternity, Promethean Princess, Amblowhale, Raging Phoenix) once the board is protected by hand traps; Extra-Deck Link and Xyz attackers from the Extra Deck, with Mulcharmy draw engines extending the hand
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King or Mulcharmy starter, use Pot of Sloth or Pot of Prosperity to convert the hand, then Link Summon into a Link-3 or Link-4 board; hand traps are held for the opponent's turn
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Droll & Lock Bird to stop the opponent's first summon, then Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning to stop the follow-up
- Recovery: Fire King monsters that were destroyed can be Special Summoned from hand or GY, and Fire King Island and Sanctuary can rebuild the field
- After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
This list is Illegal under the OCG copy limits: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Dominus Impulse are each run 3 times against a limit of 2, so the deck gets only a structural read capped low and is not a normal Final score. The structure is a Midrange hand-trap shell: it has 11 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards and 36 removal-text cards, which earn the interaction and going-second dimensions. Engine access is middling, because the Fire King core is spread across roughly 24 copies of sub-archetype cards (Fire King, Mulcharmy, Charmer, Salamangreat, Greed, Solemn, Dominus), so the core engine is live on only about half of hands (archetype core P(>=1 in 5) = 0.51). Archetype popularity and the Fire King name did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. Without combo records, floor, median and ceiling are text-only estimates, and there is no side deck and no tournament data, so Matchup and Side scores are provisional.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(>=1 of a 3-copy starter in opening 5) = 0.25; archetype core P(>=1) = 0.51; core pieces are split across several archetypes (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | P(>=1 hand trap in 6 cards going second) = 0.76, but conflicting Normal Summons and mixed engines create dead cards (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable boards; ceiling is a text-only read of Garunix and Link-Summon chains (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No combo records; median is a text-only guess and no power distribution exists (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Several independent lines through Fire King revival and hand traps, but no measured redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Pot of Sloth, Pot of Prosperity and Mulcharmy draw effects offset spend; no resource data (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 72 | 11 hand traps, 13 negation-text and 36 removal-text cards across Ash, Ghost Belle, Solemn and Dominus; not verified in play (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 68 | Going-second hand traps and Solemn cards handle the first summon; no split data (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Link-3 and Link-4 Extra attackers plus Garunix threaten lethal, but no board or ATK data (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | 55 Main cards across 25 distinct names; 12 cards at 3 copies and 70 off-name copies reduce coherence (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 50 | 11 Link, 2 Xyz, 1 Fusion, 1 Synchro in Extra; Link-heavy and mostly flexible (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | Side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side adaptability (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament or meta-share data; matchup fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Many branching hand-trap and Fire King choices create a high decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary, 0 weight on Stun; secondary considered only in narrative. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-7) = 43. Illegal cap applied: theoretical/structural-only, Final = 25. Meta Provisional (null).
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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
- Dense hand-trap and negation coverage (11 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards)
- Multiple hand-trap and Solemn lines for the going-second turn
- Link-heavy Extra Deck with several Link-3 and Link-4 attackers
Weaknesses
- Illegal under OCG copy limits (three cards at 3 copies)
- Cross-archetype engine with 70 off-name copies, so core starters rarely line up
- No side deck
- No combo or tournament data to confirm conversion
Critical choke points
- Opening-hand access to the Fire King starter (about 25% per 3-copy card)
- Single-card dependence on Solemn Judgment and Pot of Prosperity, both Limited
- Extra-Deck Link materials that the main-deck engines must supply
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One copy each of Dominus Impulse and The Fallen & The Virtuous | Legal copies from the Main Deck (for example a second Fire King starter or a Link-3 enabler) | Clears the copy-limit violation so the list is legal; this is the only fix that lets the deck receive a normal Final score |
| 2 | One copy of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring | A non-Semi-Limited hand trap or a Fire King starter | Brings the list to the Semi-Limited limit and reduces brick risk from duplicate hand traps |
| 3 | Off-archetype tech cards without a clear line | Core Fire King or Salamangreat pieces | Raises engine coherence (D1, D10); purity is currently 0% |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Dominus Impulse each at 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; Deck size 55 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; sizes are within rules; Limited cards each run at 1 copy, within limit; Exact archetype purity 0%; 70 off-archetype copies
- Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, hand-trap and brick estimates; Interaction and going-second strength from card text and role tags; Engine conflict from the archetype spread
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry for OCG; brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown deck title is null no side deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
