Kaiju Deck #773345 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck boss monsters (Dragluxion, Tachyon Dragon, Psychic End Punisher, Red-Eyes Exceed) once a board exists; no verified line is recorded; Dark Magician of Destruction / Master of Chaos via Dark Magician and Shining Sarcophagus support
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Dark Magician Girl or a searcher (Future Silence, Dark Time Wizard, Shining Sarcophagus) to reach a Sarcophagus-based engine; hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre) and Illusion Gate or Lightning Storm to answer the opponent board, then rebuild with Extra-Deck summons
• Recovery: Pot of Sloth and Mulcharmy Purulia draw cards; Shining Sarcophagus and Future Silence re-search engine pieces from the Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck can reliably open a searcher turn (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) is about 0.73, Inferred) and it runs a sizable interaction suite (14 removal-text and 7 negation-text cards, plus 4 hand traps), which earns the interaction and going-second scores. Its engine is fragmented: only 2 of 45 Main Deck cards share the exact Kaiju name, and the list mixes Dark Magician, Shining Sarcophagus, Cyclone, Egyptian God, Mulcharmy, Greed and Gandora pieces that do not form a single line, so consistency and median output score low. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference (Inferred), and nothing in the evidence supports a going-first or matchup advantage. Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon is over the copy limit, so the deck is illegal and receives a capped, theoretical score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Popularity was not a factor: the archetype usage statistics only confirm the Harpie's Feather Duster core, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); engine_conflicts (-3); no_sideboard (-1). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 44.8; ContextModifiers -12 gives 32.8; Illegal cap (Forbidden card over limit) reduces the final score to 28. Theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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 searcher suite (10 cards) gives a high chance of finding an engine piece
• Strong interaction package: 4 hand traps, Illusion Gate, Lightning Storm, Duster, Ultimate Sky
• Several high-ATK Extra-Deck closers across Fusion, Xyz, Link and Synchro

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and over the copy limit
• Engine fragmentation: only 3.3% of Main Deck cards match the Kaiju archetype name
• No sideboard, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Dark Magician Girl and Shining Sarcophagus are the only Sarcophagus-engine starters, so the engine depends on them
• Egyptian God Sphere Mode needs 3 Tributes and is a dead card in most hands
• Albion the Branded Dragon blocks legality until removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 45 and Extra 15 are within size rules (40-60 main, 0-15 extra); Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden with 1 copy run and 0 legal, so the deck is illegal; Other restricted cards are within limits (Harpie's Feather Duster 1/1, Maxx C 1/1, S:P Little Knight 1/1, Ash Blossom 2/2, The Fallen and The Virtuous 2/2); Exact-name Kaiju purity is 3.3% (2 of 60 cards); Side deck is 0 cards
• Observed: Kaiju usage statistics confirm Harpie's Feather Duster as the only core card present (62.5% inclusion)
• Inferred: Searcher probability about 0.73 in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high from card text (14 removal, 7 negation); Engine fragmentation lowers consistency; Going-second hand-trap availability about 0.45 (hypergeometric)
• Provisional: Meta power is null (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit are unknown (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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/second, matchup, brick, starter or OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null, so the deck is identified only by its id and archetype
