Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira Shangri-Ira Standby Phase summons into Xyz Rank 7 boards (Kashtira Arise-Heart, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Arc Rebellion, Dark Armed) that attack for 2800 to 3000 ATK; Kashtira Birth and Kashtiratheosis recycle banished or GY Kashtira monsters, and Number 11 Big Eye can steal an opposing monster
• Turn 1 (going first): Hand-summon Kashtira Fenrir or Kashtira Unicorn (both need an empty field), search a Kashtira monster or Spell, then build a Rank 7 Xyz with Shangri-Ira or Arise-Heart
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) and Solemn responses to break the opponent's opening summon, then land a Kashtira body from hand
• Recovery: Kashtira Birth and Kashtiratheosis summon Kashtira monsters back from the banished zone or GY, and Primite Lordly Lode searches the next Primite piece
• After siding: No side deck was supplied (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan through a Kashtira core of six hand-summonable or Standby-summoned bodies (Fenrir 3, Unicorn 2, Riseheart 1) plus Shangri-Ira and Arise-Heart in the Extra Deck, which gives an estimated 58% chance of at least one hand-summonable starter in five cards (Inferred). It converts that plan into Rank 7 boards with 3000-ATK Xyz monsters, so closing power is strong, but the median and floor are unmeasured because no recorded boards exist. Interaction is the system's best feature: five hand traps, three Solemns, and Drillbeam and Ghost Ogre give layered answers to summons and activations, and Kashtira Birth and Kashtiratheosis provide recursion after disruption. The score is held down by an unfocused build: only 16% of the main deck carries the exact Kashtira name, and Primite, Evilswarm, Solemn, and Phantom Knights pieces compete for slots, with Dimensional Fissure also conflicting with graveyard-based recursion. This is a structural read of the list and its text, not of popularity, and the score was not produced by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60.4, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine conflict (-3); banlist exposure (-1); hand-trap interaction density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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

• Layered interaction: five hand traps, three Solemns, Drillbeam and Ghost Ogre
• Strong Rank 7 Xyz end-board with 3000-ATK bodies
• Recursion through Kashtira Birth and Kashtiratheosis
• Searchers cover most starting needs

Weaknesses

• Low exact-archetype purity (16%) and several competing engines
• Median and floor output are unmeasured
• Single-copy Limited cards are fragile
• No side deck supplied

Critical choke points

• Kashtira starters (Fenrir, Unicorn, Riseheart) depend on the field state and on hand traps not being dead
• Shangri-Ira is the single Standby engine and the Extra Deck core

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all restricted copies within legal limits; Card text and stats for each listed card; Archetype purity counts (9 exact, 46 off-archetype)
• Inferred: Starter probability of about 0.58 in the opening five; Going-first and going-second power estimates; Interaction and resilience reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No side list supplied (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability is unassessed Usage statistics mark S:P Little Knight, Kashtira Shangri-Ira and Kashtira Arise-Heart as not in this deck, but the card list includes all three in the Extra Deck; the card list was trusted No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
