Orcust Deck #773291 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Zombie Vampire, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Enlilgirsu, Dingirsu) reached through Orcust and World Legacy material lines; not verified because no recorded boards exist.; Mulcharmy draw-based card advantage across a long game, plus Orcust graveyard revival of Harp Horror and Girsu.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Mulcharmy draw monster or Orcust Harp Horror revival and keep hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll) up for the opponent's turn. Inferred from card text only.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then rebuild through Imsety, Hapi and the World Legacy monsters. Inferred from card text only.
• Recovery: Recover through the Mulcharmy draw effects, the Orcust graveyard banish-and-revive effects, and King's Sarcophagus recursion. Inferred from card text only.
• After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck, so there is no defined post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its strength is redundant interaction: three copies each of Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru, plus Droll and Solemn, give it many ways to answer an opponent's first summon or activation. Its draw and graveyard-revival engines (Mulcharmy and Orcust) convert a surviving board into card advantage and a boss monster. Those strengths are offset by an illegal copy count (three Ash, three Dominus Impulse and three Super Polymerization against limits of two), no recorded boards, no Side Deck and a split between Orcust, Mulcharmy and Horus engines that conflict on the field. Archetype popularity earns no points; the score is capped because the list is illegal in its format.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange with D13 dropped and weights renormalized (meta-neutral), since meta is provisional. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Legality cap (Illegal copy limit) (0); Banlist exposure (-2); No side deck (-3); Hand-trap redundancy (1). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*55 + 0.20*45 = 53, then context modifiers (-1) give 52. The deck is Illegal (copy-limit violations), so the theoretical cap of 35 is applied. This is a structural-only score, not a normal final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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, redundant hand-trap and negation coverage (Ash, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Droll, Solemn)
• Card advantage through Mulcharmy draw effects
• Graveyard recursion through Orcust Harp Horror, Girsu and Imsety

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three cards over copy limit
• No side deck
• Engine conflicts between Mulcharmy (needs an empty field) and Orcust (needs field monsters)
• Off-archetype Extra Deck slots dilute coherence

Critical choke points

• Legality: the deck cannot be played as listed until Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse and Super Polymerization are cut to two copies each
• No recorded boards, so the finishing line is unverified

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 52 cards, Extra 15, Side 0; Three cards over copy limit: Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Super Polymerization; Six Limited cards and Semi-Limited cards at their legal maximum; Usage stats: 13 of 19 core cards present (main deck only)
• Inferred: Hand-trap redundancy and interaction density (D5, D7); Engine consistency from hypergeometric odds (D1, D2); Mulcharmy and Orcust card-advantage read from card text (D6); Pilotability from decision-point count (D14)
• Provisional: Median output and floor (D4): no boards; Format fit and matchup (D13): no tournament or meta data
• 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 exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied Usage statistics flag Enlilgirsu, S:P Little Knight, Galatea, I:P Masquerena and Longirsu as not in deck, but all five appear in the Extra Deck list; the usage in_this_deck flag appears to check the Main Deck only, so core_present_pct is understated
