Skull Servant Deck #773254 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Skull Servant graveyard recursion into The Lady in Wight, King of the Skull Servants and Wightprince pressure, with Horus Sarcophagus summons and high-ATK Link/Xyz closers from the Extra Deck; King's Sarcophagus / Walls of the Imperial Tomb Horus engine, which special-summons Horus monsters from the graveyard once a King's Sarcophagus is on the field
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon Moissa Wight, Wightbaking or Skull Servant to reach Wightprince and The Lady in Wight, then build a Wight or Horus board (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Lightning Storm, Raigeki, Forbidden Droplet, Harpie's Feather Duster or Subspace Battle to clear the opponent's board, then rebuild through graveyard summons (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion through Wightlord, Wight Reanimator, Wightmare and Mezuki, plus Mulcharmy Fuwalos card draw (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None. The deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan and best-of-3 adaptation is absent.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine: the archetype core of 35 copies gives P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.99, and the searcher group gives about 0.72 (Inferred hypergeometric). The score comes from the system, not from averaging card power. Its strength is recursion: Skull Servant, Wightprince, The Lady in Wight and King of the Skull Servants keep bodies coming back from the graveyard, and the Horus/King's Sarcophagus package adds a second engine. Interaction is dense (Lightning Storm, Raigeki, Forbidden Droplet, Harpie's Feather Duster, Subspace Battle, Card Destruction) and the Extra Deck closes with several 2500 to 3000 ATK monsters. Popularity and the archetype core's usage share confirm the list is real, but they did not earn points. The score is held back by the empty side deck, the absence of any recorded combo boards, and the 11 single-copy tech cards that are often dead in hand.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Empty side deck (-3); Horus line gated on Sarcophagus (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*61.06 + 0.20*50 - 5 = 53.85, rounded to 54)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always accessible in the opening hand (about 0.99)
• Dense graveyard recursion gives resilience and recovery across turns
• Interaction package covers both board wipes and single-target answers
• Extra Deck closers reach 3000 ATK and are accessible through Link and Xyz summons

Weaknesses

• No side deck at all, so there is no post-side plan for best-of-3
• Eleven single-copy tech cards dilute consistency and create dead hands
• No hand traps or floodgates to answer an opponent's opening plays
• No recorded combo boards, so the real floor and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• King's Sarcophagus or Walls of the Imperial Tomb is required for every Horus line
• Graveyard-only starters such as Wightprince and The Lady in Wight need the graveyard to be populated first

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 60 and Extra deck 15 match the OCG size rules; All Limited cards run at their legal copy limit (1 each), so the list is legal; Copy histogram 1:11, 2:5, 3:13 and archetype core of 35 copies
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show Skull Servant core inclusion of 70.8% of tracked core cards present in this list
• Inferred: At least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.72 (hypergeometric proxy); Engine accessibility and recursion resilience from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format 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 absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick, starter, OTK rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be assessed usage statistics flags conflict with the card list: Linkuriboh, Relinquished Anima, I:P Masquerena, Vampire Sucker and Avendread Savior appear as in this deck=false in usage statistics but are present in the Extra Deck card list (copies 1), so the core-missing count is overstated; the card list was used as truth
