Egyptian God Deck #773348 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• 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 (Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Dragluxion, Dark Magician of Destruction, Master of Chaos, Psychic End Punisher); The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode is a 3-Tribute main-deck boss route; Gandora-G and Gameciel-based removal/board control into Extra Deck pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Shining Sarcophagus or Dark Magician Girl, Pot of Sloth/Mulcharmy for card flow, then use hand traps and Illusion Gate or Lightning Storm to clear the opposing board before an Extra Deck boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, or Maxx C as hand traps to protect the first engine card, then rebuild through searchers into Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Searchers (Dark Time Wizard, Future Silence, Shining Sarcophagus) and Pot of Sloth replenish the hand after a cleared board
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

The list is not a coherent Egyptian God engine: only 3 of 45 main-deck copies are named Egyptian God, and 57 copies belong to other archetypes (Magician, Shining Sarcophagus, Cyclone, Branded, Kaiju, Galaxy, Chaos and others), so the deck is scored as a toolbox rather than as a single engine. Its searcher density (about 73% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5, Inferred) and four hand traps give it reasonable access and some interruption resilience, but Lava Golem and the Sphere Mode copies are conditional cards that often act as bricks. Interaction is broad (Illusion Gate, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Gameciel, Psychic End Punisher), which supports the board-control and closing scores. Structural power is about 47; the deck is scored on this system, not as an average of card scores, and Albion's forbidden status caps the final score. Popularity or archetype usage was not used to raise any score: usage stats show only 2 of 8 core cards present.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; no Midrange blend applied to weights. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Uncapped 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-11) = 35; capped at 25 because the deck runs a Forbidden card (Albion the Branded Dragon, 1 copy over a 0-copy limit). Meta Power null (Provisional).

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

• Broad searcher density (10 searchers) gives a high chance of finding a starter
• Four hand traps plus Maxx C give interruption resilience
• Layered interaction (Illusion Gate, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Psychic End Punisher) supports board control
• Extra Deck has multiple strong closers across Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run at 1 copy
• No coherent single engine: 57 of 60 copies are off-archetype or generic
• Side deck is empty, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Several conditional cards (Lava Golem, Sphere Mode) are likely bricks
• Core usage cards are largely absent (2 of 8 present in usage stats)

Critical choke points

• Albion the Branded Dragon slot is illegal until removed
• Sphere Mode and Lava Golem need specific opposing-board conditions to be summoned
• Searcher-based starters are spread across several sub-archetypes, so no single starter is reliable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 45 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules (40-60, 0-15); Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run at 1 copy (over limit); Ash Blossom and The Fallen & The Virtuous are at 2 copies, within their Semi-Limited limit; Harpie's Feather Duster, Maxx C and S:P Little Knight are at 1 copy, within their Limited limit; Side deck is 0 cards
• Observed: Usage stats: 8 core cards for the archetype; 2 present in this list
• Inferred: Searcher access P(>=1) ~0.73 and starter P(>=1) ~0.30 in opening 5 (hypergeometric); Brick and dead-card risk from conditional cards (Lava Golem, Sphere Mode); Interaction and closing-power reads from card text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated metagame); Meta Power (null)
• 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 in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null
