Temple of the Kings Deck #775111 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Supreme King Z-ARC, Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon, Divine Serpent Apophis) reached after the interaction layer clears the opponent's board; no reliable combo route is evidenced; Recurring Raise Moon and Apophis Trap pressure converted into Xyz and Fusion boss summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter from the 0.24-per-3-copy hand odds, use Pot of Desires or The Glitter of Raise Moon to dig, and hold Solemn/Evenly Matched type interaction for the first opposing summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 0.43 hand-trap chance in a six-card hand (Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn cards, Evenly Matched) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Raise Moon and Apophis recursion
• Recovery: Recycle Apophis Traps and Raise Moon cards from the GY (The Stars of Raise Moon, Glitter banish-draw) and rebuild with a Synchro or Xyz boss
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system as a whole, not from averaging card scores. The deck is illegal in OCG: it runs 3 Card of Demise against a limit of 1, and it runs Albion the Branded Dragon and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, both Forbidden, so it gets a normal-range structural read but a low final score. Its strongest property is interaction density: about 24 negation-text and 39 removal-text cards, five hand traps and several Solemn-style answers, which gives it a credible going-second plan. Consistency is weak because the Extra Deck spans four unrelated archetype engines (Raise Moon, Dominus, Apophis, Odd-Eyes/Supreme King), so the purity of the core engine is about 1.4 percent exact-name and nearly all copies are generic or off-archetype. No combo boards were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences and no floor claim can be verified. Archetype popularity of Temple of the Kings does not add points, and there is no side deck and no tournament record to support the matchup or meta read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); copy-limit violation (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 44, then modifiers -12 = 32

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Dense interaction layer: 24 negation-text and 39 removal-text cards
• Five hand traps give a credible going-second plan
• Extra Deck has several 3000-4000 ATK bosses with clear closing routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Card of Demise over the limit, two Forbidden cards run
• Engine split across four archetypes; exact-name purity 1.4 percent
• No side deck; no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combo data, so ceiling and median are unverifiable

Critical choke points

• Starter density: about 24 percent chance of a given 3-copy card in an opening 5
• Single Forbidden Extra Deck boss sets the closing plan and must be replaced

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 59 cards within 40-60; Extra 15 within 0-15; Card of Demise run 3 vs OCG limit 1; Albion the Branded Dragon and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon are Forbidden and run 1 copy each; Side deck is empty; Starter hypergeometric odds (0.237 at 3 copies, hand 5)
• Inferred: Engine consistency (D1) from hypergeometric odds and archetype spread; Interaction quality (D7) from card-text negation and removal counts; Going-second strength (D8) from hand-trap odds; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13), no tournament data
• 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 no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rate no side deck: post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
