Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Tribute Summon chains of 2400-2800 ATK Monarch monsters (Kuraz, Erebus, Ehther, Thestalos, Caius) that convert board advantage into direct attacks; Spell-driven recursion and searching of Monarch cards via Pantheism, Tenacity, Return of the Monarchs and The Prime Monarch to keep a steady stream of tribute threats
  • Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Eidos or Edea (Level 1-2, self-searching or summoning a 800/1000), then search and set Monarch spells while building toward a first Tribute Summon
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Solemn Warning and Stormforth-enabled tributes to answer the opponent's first summon, then Tribute Summon a Monarch monster on the following turn
  • Recovery: Recur Monarch spells from the Graveyard with The Prime Monarch and Pantheism, then rebuild the Tribute Summon chain from the Deck
  • After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck is locked to its main-deck configuration

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how the Monarch system functions as a whole: 15 searcher-text cards and 3-copy starters give about a 0.92 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 cards (Inferred), while any single 3-copy starter has roughly a 0.34 chance to appear in the opener. Its conversion is strong on paper because Tribute Summon monsters at 2400-2800 ATK sit behind a shared Monarch recursion network, but there are no recorded boards, so the median and floor are inferred from text alone and are scored conservatively. Interaction is real (Caius, Kuraz, Allure, Solemn Warning) but the deck has no hand traps, no side deck, and Majesty's Fiend shuts down the deck's own monster effects, which caps several scores. Usage statistics describe a Kozmo/Solemn core that this list barely runs (1 of 15 core cards), so popularity and archetype share contributed no points, and the score is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(at least 1 3-copy starter in opening 5) is about 0.34 per card, with a 0.92 chance of at least one searcher; Tribute Summon chains need a Tribute Summoned monster first (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 60 Nine distinct 3-copy cards and many searchers reduce dead hands, but reactive spells and one-copy tech add bricks (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 Ceiling is a 2800-ATK Tribute Summon with optional Monarch recursion, but no recorded boards exist so the conversion is text-only (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 Median output is not measurable: zero combos and no boards in the export, so the floor is conservatively scored (Inferred, low confidence)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 62 Prime Monarch, Pantheism and Erebus recursion create multiple independent restarts after a single interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 19 spells and 15 searcher-text cards refill resources well, though Monarch chains consume many cards (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 58 17 removal-text cards, Caius and Kuraz destruction, plus Solemn Warning; Majesty's Fiend also blocks own monster effects (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 52 Solemn Warning and Stormforth tribute give answers on the second turn, but there is no hand trap and 0 side cards (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 65 Several 2400-2800 ATK Tribute monsters give strong end-board pressure; direct attacks are inferred from text (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 70 40 main cards with 20 distinct cards, a clear Monarch core (34 cards) and a few off-theme tech cards; compact and coherent (Verified)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 60 No Extra Deck is run, so Extra-Deck coverage is neutral: nothing is lost, but nothing is gained (Verified)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 30 Side deck is empty, so there is no post-side adaptation at all (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 50 No tournament link or dated meta sample, so matchup and format fit are provisional; archetype share is unavailable (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 55 Tribute Summon sequencing, Monarch restriction clauses and the Majesty's Fiend conflict raise decision points (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: single-profile. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Engine conflict: Majesty's Fiend (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers (-4)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

  • Compact 40-card Monarch engine with a 34-card core
  • Searcher density (15 cards) keeps openers functional
  • Multiple recursion paths (Prime Monarch, Pantheism, Erebus) allow rebuilds

Weaknesses

  • No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
  • Majesty's Fiend contradicts the deck's own monster-effect engine
  • Tribute Summon chains depend on a Tribute Summoned monster already being on the field

Critical choke points

  • First Tribute Summon: Erebus, Ehther, Caius and Thestalos all need a Tribute Summoned monster already on the field
  • Majesty's Fiend shuts off the monster effects the whole engine relies on
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Majesty's Fiend (1) Off-archetype or Monarch-neutral Normal Monster or a second Solemn Warning Its 'neither player can activate monster effects' clause breaks the Tribute Summon engine it sits in
2 One for One (1) Monarch Spell/Trap that supports the Tribute Summon chain Replace a one-copy Normal Summon bridge with a card that feeds the same engine
3 none Side Deck of 15 (anti-Monarch or anti-Tribute interaction) A zero-card side deck leaves no post-side plan in best-of-3

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Main deck is 40 cards with copy limits respected (Solemn Warning 1 of 2 Semi-Limited); Monarch archetype count is 34 of 40 cards; No Extra Deck and no Side Deck are present
  • Inferred: Starter and searcher hypergeometric estimates; Floor and ceiling of output from card text only; Engine conflict between Majesty's Fiend and monster effects
  • Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated sample or tournament link)
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference Usage statistics describe a Kozmo/Solemn core (1 of 15 core cards present), so the archetype label appears to mismatch the list; the stats were not used as a power signal No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
