Fire King Deck #773194 — 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 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King boss monsters (High Avatar Garunix, Lava Golem, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon, Garunix Eternity) converted from Fire King and Snake-Eye engine plays; Azamina / Sinful Spoils Fusion and Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon as additional boss routes, with Mulcharmy draw as incidental card advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a FIRE starter such as Fire King High Avatar Kirin, Ponix or Snake-Eye Ash (about 0.80 chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand) and use Fire King Island or Sanctuary plus searchers to reach a boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 14 hand traps (about 0.81 chance of at least one in a 6-card hand) and Infinite Impermanence or Ash Blossom to stop the opponent's first play, then convert into a Fire King boss
• Recovery: Recycle through Fire King Avatar Arvata, Snake-Eye GY revival and Fire King Avatar Kirin's GY effects, and rebuild a Link or Xyz board from the Extra Deck
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan and the best-of-3 adaptation is absent

Why it scores here

The list is structurally capable but illegal as built, so the score is a capped, theoretical read rather than a normal contextual score. It runs 16 Fire King core cards, giving about an 0.80 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opener, and it has 14 hand traps and several searchers, which supports interaction on both turn orders. Its boss suite (Garunix, Lava Golem, Flamberge Dragon, Garunix Eternity) and a strong end-board give it closing power. The score is held back by three archetype engines (Fire King, Snake-Eye, Mulcharmy, plus Azamina and Sinful Spoils) that dilute the engine, by a zero-card Side Deck, and by two over-limit copies of Ash Blossom and WANTED. Usage-statistics popularity was not credited as strength, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun not weighted separately because the Stun profile is not blended. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-4); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural only. Raw 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 53.6, less modifiers (-12) = 41.6, then capped to 30 because the deck is illegal. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.2 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 16 archetype-core Fire King cards give about an 0.80 chance of a starter in a 5-card opener
• 14 hand traps and multiple negation and removal effects cover both turn orders
• Boss-level FIRE monsters and multiple Link and Xyz routes give a high closing ceiling
• Extra Deck is mostly singleton, giving flexibility across Link, Xyz and Fusion routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 Ash Blossom and 2 WANTED exceed their banlist limits
• Three to four archetype engines split starters and dilute consistency
• Zero Side Deck means no post-side adaptation
• No combo data, so the median and floor are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• The archetype-core starter count is the main consistency driver; a hand without a core FIRE starter has no clear turn 1
• Going second depends on hand traps landing, and the deck has no side to adjust them

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 (legal size range for OCG); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2; WANTED 2 copies vs legal 1; Archetype purity 20% exact name; 16 Fire King-family copies counted across sub-archetypes; Usage stats: 10 of 19 core cards present (52.6%)
• Inferred: P(>=1 core starter in 5-card hand) = 0.80; Interaction density is high from text reads (hand traps, negation, removal); Engine split across Fire King, Snake-Eye, Mulcharmy and Azamina lowers consistency; Closing power from 2800 to 3000 ATK monsters and Link/Xyz routes
• Provisional: Meta fit (D13) and matchup outcomes: no dated sample or tournament link; Post-side plan: no side cards to evaluate
• 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 win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup data are unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample deck title is null and the Side Deck is empty
