Legality
Main 56 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Link bosses (Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Evilswarm Ophion, Dingirsu, Enlilgirsu) built off Phantom Knights, Orcust and Mekk-Knight starters (Inferred); Mulcharmy draw pressure and Phantom Knights Rank-Up-Magic chains that stack Xyz material and board presence (Inferred)
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mekk-Knight, Phantom Knights or Mulcharmy starter with a searcher, then bridge into a 2-material Xyz or Link summon while holding a hand trap for the opponent's first response (Inferred; no recorded boards)
- Turn 2 (going second): Open a hand trap or Ash Blossom-style answer on the opponent's first summon, then rebuild the board through the Phantom Knights searchers and Mulcharmy draw (Inferred)
- Recovery: Banish-from-GY revival effects (Orcust Harp Horror, Phantom Knights GY effects, Galatea-I) rebuild the board after a clear; the limited Extra slots and missing Orcust links cap how far this goes (Inferred)
- After siding: None: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan in a best-of-3 event (verified from legality.Side Deck size = 0)
Why it scores here
The deck is capped low because the list is Illegal: three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse exceed their Semi-Limited limit of 2, and the Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a maximum of 15. Its consistency is moderate rather than strong: the archetype core (23 cards) is almost always present in a 5-card opening hand (about 0.94, Inferred), but the starters are split across Phantom Knights, Orcust, Mulcharmy and Mekk-Knight, and only 6 of 56 Main Deck copies carry the exact Orcust name. The interaction package is the clearest strength: 11 hand traps, 13 negation texts and 35 removal texts give the deck layered answers, and the going-second hand-trap probability is about 0.75 (Inferred). Offensive closing power is credible because several Extra Deck bosses reach 2500 to 3000 ATK. The deck earns no points for popularity: archetype usage shows the list is real, but no tournament or win-rate data exists. Card scores were not averaged; the score reflects the system's consistency, interaction and closing power, reduced by the legality issues and the absence of any side deck.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | Archetype core open in a 5-card hand about 0.94; the 3-copy starters each about 0.25 in hand, spread across three engines (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | 14 singleton slots, 11 hand traps that are dead without an opponent action, and mixed-archetype Main Deck; proxy brick about 0.06 (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable boards; ceiling read from card text only (Xyz/Link chains via Rank-Up-Magic and Girsu) (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded combos; median output cannot be measured and is held near the midpoint (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | 11 hand traps and several independent starters (Mulcharmy, Phantom Knights searchers, Orcust Harp Horror) give some route redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Phantom Knights searchers, Mulcharmy draw and GY-banish revival effects recover resources; no resource telemetry (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 65 | Interaction density is high by text: 13 negation and 35 removal texts, with Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse and Infinite Impermanence (Inferred semantic; legality caveat applies) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Infinite Impermanence and Evenly Matched give going-second board breaking; no split data (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 65 | Extra Deck bosses at 2500 to 3000 ATK (Dark Requiem, Arc Rebellion, Dingirsu, Enlilgirsu) and a 3000 ATK ceiling on the best boss (Verified stat, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 40 | 56 Main Deck cards with 29 distinct, 18 tech and 14 singletons; large tech count dilutes engine density (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 35 | 16 Extra cards against a 15-card limit; 5 core Extra cards missing (S:P Little Knight, Enlilgirsu, Dingirsu, Galatea-I, Galatea) and 6 Link plus 10 Xyz slots (Verified count, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 5 | Zero side-deck cards; no post-side plan exists in a best-of-3 event (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link and no archetype meta-share in the export; format fit cannot be checked (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Three engines, Extra Deck chains and condition-heavy hand traps demand many decision points (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary, disclosed as a 2:1 ratio in the structural profile. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (over-limit Semi-Limited cards) (-6); No side deck (-4); Extra Deck over size (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*49 + 0.20*38 = 47 before modifiers; Meta provisional; capped low to 35 by the illegal-list modifiers (theoretical/structural-only)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Layered interaction: 11 hand traps, 13 negation texts and 35 removal texts (Inferred semantic)
- Core archetype reliably present in an opening hand (about 0.94, Inferred)
- High-ATK Xyz and Link bosses in the Extra Deck (Verified stats)
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: copy limits exceeded for two Semi-Limited cards and Extra Deck over 15 (Verified)
- Mixed engines across several sub-archetypes; exact-name purity 8.3% (Verified)
- No side deck (Verified)
- Large tech and hand-trap count with conditional activation dilutes board development (Inferred)
Critical choke points
- Extra Deck size and the missing Orcust link cards (S:P Little Knight, Enlilgirsu, Galatea) limit the boss options (Verified count)
- Hand traps with activation conditions can sit dead in hand when the opponent does not act first (Inferred)
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse (3 to 2 copies) | No replacement required; this restores legality | Both cards exceed their Semi-Limited copy limit, which makes the list Illegal (Verified) |
| 2 | One Extra Deck card (for example one of the least-used Link or Xyz slots) | None | Brings the Extra Deck from 16 to the 15-card maximum (Verified) |
| 3 | Optional: one low-impact tech card from the 18 tech slots | A 15-card side deck covering the matchups the list struggles with, such as the opponent's main threats | No side deck exists; without one the best-of-3 plan is absent (Verified gap, Inferred need) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: 2 cards over Semi-Limited limit; Extra Deck 16 vs 15 maximum; Side deck count is zero; Exact-name archetype purity 8.3%; Extra Deck boss ATK values from card data
- Inferred: Starter consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Interaction quality from card-text read; Going-first and going-second plans from card text and archetype usage
- Provisional: Meta health and format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
- 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; going-first/second and matchup rates unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is Illegal, so the score is structural and theoretical only
