Noble Knights Deck #775050 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Noble Knight / Flame Swordsman board built by Equip Spells and FIRE Warrior Synchro, Link and Fusion finishers such as Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles and Ultimate Flame Swordsman, with Emperor Charles also reachable by its Link route; Flame Swordsman Fusion and Link pressure through Promethean Princess and Fighting Flame Dragon, plus Artmage Non-Finito as a Fusion backup
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Flame Swordsman, Dark Flare Swordsman or Fighting Flame Sword searcher, then search or summon a Noble Knight monster and an Equip Spell to build a Synchro or Link material board (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird, Red Reboot or Maxx C to strip the opponent's first interaction or draw, then rebuild the FIRE Warrior board through Flame Swordsman and Salamandra lines (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia draw, Immortal Phoenix Gearfried or Flame Swordsman recursion from the GY, and Noble Knight searchers (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck is also Illegal in its current form, so a post-side plan is theoretical only

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores, and it is capped at 30 because three Forbidden OCG cards are included, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Its archetype core (28 Noble Knight and Flame Swordsman copies, about 97% to see at least one in a 5-card opening, Inferred) gives it a reliable starter access, and the nine hand traps and sixteen searcher-text cards give it real interruption resilience and recovery. Interaction density is the strongest part of the list (negation and removal text plus Limited Droll, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Harpie's Feather Duster and Crossout Designator), which is good on the going-second side. Combo ceiling and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores are text-only inferences with low confidence. The Forbidden Isolde (2 copies), Baronne de Fleur and Triple Tactics Talent must be removed before the list is legal, and the empty Side Deck leaves no post-side plan; popularity in the Noble Knights archetype earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange only; Toolbox weighting not blended. Structural ≈ 55.4, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 53.9; banlist modifier -12 gives 41.9; Illegal cap sets the final score to 30 (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is dense (28 copies) and reliably accessible in the opening hand
• Strong interaction density with hand traps, negation text and removal text
• Multiple Extra Deck finishers at 3000 ATK, including Emperor Charles and Gearfried

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden OCG cards make the list illegal as built
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Isolde is a core Link route and is Forbidden, so the Link line breaks until replaced
• Equip Spell dependence for the Noble Knight board, with Infernoble Arms and Noble Arms Museum as the main carriers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and three Forbidden violations from the legality check; Main 56, Extra 14, Side 0 counts; Core inclusion percentages from usage statistics
• Inferred: P(at least one archetype-core card in 5 cards) ≈ 0.97; Brick and interaction reads from card text and hand-trap counts; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated meta sample); Matchup and format fit (no 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 match record absent 1 passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as main) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; brick, starter and going-first/second rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side behavior cannot be evaluated
