Legality

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

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Vanquish Soul monsters recycled through hand-revealed Special Summons and Stake your Soul! into Extra Deck Xyz/Link bosses; Extra Deck boss monsters (Veidos, Caesar Valius, Heavy Borger, Dogoran) that attack through a disrupted board
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open on the 20 Vanquish Soul core and the Vanquish Soul searchers, then convert with Stake your Soul! or Vanquish Soul Dr. Mad Love into a Link or Xyz boss (Inferred from card text)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C and K9-66a Jokul style interaction to disrupt the opponent's first board before the Vanquish Soul engine resumes (Inferred from card text)
  • Recovery: Re-Special Summon Vanquish Soul monsters from the GY through Vanquish Soul - Continue? and Vanquish Soul, Start! (Inferred from card text)
  • After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck opens the Vanquish Soul core (20 exact-name copies) in roughly 91% of opening 5-card hands, so the engine is accessible on paper (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate). Its strength is structural: searchers and hand-revealed Special Summons give it redundancy, and its Extra Deck Xyz/Link bosses provide closing pressure. The score is held down by a low archetype purity of 28.6%, which mixes K9, Metalmorph, Kaiju, Greed and Bystial pieces into one 55-card list, and by the absence of any combo or tournament evidence. The deck is also Illegal because it runs one copy of the Forbidden K9-04 Noroi, so the final score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only. No card scores were averaged; the score reflects the system as a whole.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(at least one Vanquish Soul core card in 5-card hand) ~0.91; 20 exact-name copies (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 55 21 searcher-text cards and 14 removal-text cards give most hands a playable line, but mixed-archetype pieces create some dead draws (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 50 No parseable boards, so ceiling is a text-only read of boss monsters and Stake your Soul! value (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No recorded boards to measure median output; text-only floor estimate (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Three hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, K9-66a Jokul line) and multiple recursion routes give some redundancy (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Searchers and Special Summon recursion through the GY support a rebuild, though the Metalmorph and K9 pieces need specific materials (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 55 Veidos, Dogoran and Snow Devil provide removal and face-up interaction across several zones (Inferred from card text)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Maxx C, Ash Blossom and Jokul provide going-second interaction, but there is no going-second split data (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 62 Caesar Valius (3000 ATK), Heavy Borger (2500), Dogoran (3000) and Zeus (3000) give boss-level closing power (Verified card stats)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 48 Main Deck has 36 distinct cards with 23 singletons and only 28.6% exact-name archetype purity, which dilutes the engine (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 60 Extra Deck has 10 Xyz and 5 Link monsters, which are mostly archetype-linked and cover multiple boss options (Verified composition)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No Side Deck registered, so no post-side adaptability can be evaluated (Verified, zero side cards)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 50 Only archetype-level usage stats are present and no dated metagame sample, so matchup fit is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Multi-archetype sequencing (Vanquish Soul, K9, Metalmorph, Kaiju) is demanding for a player to repeat reliably (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden card run) (-10); legality cap (-11). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) - 10 banlist modifier = ~41, capped to 30 as theoretical/structural-only (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

  • 20-copy archetype core is reliably accessible in opening hands
  • Redundant searchers and recursion routes
  • Multiple Extra Deck boss options with 2500 to 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

  • Illegal: K9-04 Noroi (Forbidden) is run
  • Low archetype purity (28.6%) across K9, Metalmorph, Kaiju, Greed and Bystial pieces
  • No Side Deck

Critical choke points

  • Dependence on Vanquish Soul monsters being in hand to enable Special Summons
  • Forbidden K9-04 Noroi must be removed before the list is legal
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 K9-04 Noroi A legal Vanquish Soul or K9 card The deck is illegal and cannot be evaluated normally until the Forbidden card is removed
2 Pot of Sloth A Vanquish Soul searcher or Special Summon enabler Off-archetype draw spell reduces engine density
3 Off-archetype Metalmorph and Galaxy-Eyes pieces Core Vanquish Soul monsters Raises purity and engine consistency

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; K9-04 Noroi Forbidden with 1 copy run; Copy limits: all Limited and Semi-Limited cards run within legal copies; Archetype purity 28.6%; 20 exact-name Vanquish Soul copies; Composition counts: 3 hand traps, 21 searchers, 14 removal, 10 Xyz, 5 Link
  • Inferred: Engine accessibility P(at least one core card in 5) ~0.91; Midrange/Toolbox classification from composition and card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
  • Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample)
  • Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no Side Deck registered no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
