Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon Gladiator Beast Fusion monsters to access removal and interaction via shuffling effects; establish multi-layer board; Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw engine to outresource opponent; Primite Normal Monster summon lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish 1–2 Gladiator Beast monsters linked to Extra Deck; load Mộ với targets; end on boss Fusion or Link monster với negate/removal access
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle) to break opponent board; bounce Gladiator Beasts from Extra Deck for fresh triggers; grind với Comeback and searchers
• Recovery: Gladiator Beast Equeste and Gistel shuffle-and-search lines recover resources; Comeback rebuilds from Mộ; Primite and Mulcharmy discard outlets create secondary value
• After siding: No Side Deck supplied (0/15 slots); deck plays với 40 Main + 15 Extra only

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG due to Maxx "C" (Forbidden), capping its evaluation at 1 structural-only level. Discounting the violation, the core Gladiator Beast engine (Gistel, Proving Ground, shufflers) reaches ~85% consistency for one starter; however, it is burdened by competing engines (Mulcharmy, Primite, Test cards) that fragment the 40-card shell, raising brick risk and reducing median board power. The deck ends turn 1 với modest Fusion bosses (Gyzarus, Heraklinos) or Links (Dragases) offering negate/removal but not overwhelming pressure; turn 2 has real hand-trap interaction but limited board-breaking density. Resource recovery is fair via shuffle-and-search chains, yet the deck lacks 1 coherent post-side plan (0/15 Side Deck), and critical Gladiator Beast targets (Noxious, Claudius, Tamer Editor) are missing, forcing workarounds that further dilute consistency.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Illegal - Maxx C Forbidden (-18); Engine fragmentation (-8); Missing core cards (-5); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: 0.65Structural (adjusted for Illegal status) + 0.20TournamentReliability + 0.15*ContextModifiers; Meta = Provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.62 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median 42, board-per-starter 1.6
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Gladiator Beast shuffle-and-search chain is compact and recursive; Gistel + Equeste + Proving Ground enable multi-summon loops với resource recovery
• Hand-trap count (7 distinct cards) provides reasonable going-second interaction; Mulcharmy draw engine offers tech flexibility
• Extra Deck is full and layered (7 Fusions + 8 Links); Dragases, Gyzarus, and Domitianus provide multiple removal/negate options
• Flexible Normal Monster base (Andal, Primite route) allows different start patterns depending on hand

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL: Maxx "C" is Forbidden in OCG; deck cannot be played competitively vớiout replacement
• Engine bloat: five simultaneous themes (Glad Beast, Mulcharmy, Primite, Test, Charmer/Cyberse) fragment consistency and brick rate
• Missing core Gladiator Beasts (Noxious, Claudius, Tamer Editor 1x, Heraklinos standard) force inferior substitutions
• Median board power modest (~1.6 summons mỗi lượt, 1–2 interactions); no overwhelming ceiling; relies on grinding through disruption
• Single choke-point vulnerability: opponent negates first Gladiator Beast Triệu hồi đặc biệt and deck stalls vớiout alternative lines
• No Side Deck (0/15) prevents adaptation in best-of-3; forced into pre-game 1 configuration

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (Maxx "C" Forbidden, 1 copy present, 0 legal copies); Main Deck size: 40 (vớiin 40–60 range for OCG); Extra Deck size: 15 (at max, 0–15 for OCG); Side Deck size: 0/15 (empty; deck plays no Side); Card text excerpts and archetype tags resolved from YGOVN database; Copy histogram: 5×3-copy, 5×2-copy, 15×1-copy (verified from composition); Archetype core present: 7/12 standard Gladiator Beast cards (58.3%)
• Observed: Usage statistics show 58% core Gladiator Beast inclusion vs 100% standard for key cards (Noxious, Claudius, Tamer Editor, Heraklinos); deviation flagged; Hand-trap count: 7 distinct cards (Ash, Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll, Maxx C, Mulcharmy conditional, War Chariot) across Main + conditional
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype-core starter in opening hand 5) ≈ 0.85 via hypergeometric; core group = 12 copies (Gistel, Proving Ground, Mulcharmy, Primite Lordly Lode, Vespasius, Equeste, searcher chain); Brick rate estimate: ~12% (all hand-traps, or Primite/Test conflicts với no Glad Beast engine piece); Combo ceiling (đường combo tốt nhất): single Fusion với 2–3 linked Glad Beast summons; median floor: 1 boss + 1–2 searches; power index ~42–55 (Inferred from card text, no boards supplied); Going-first board: 1–2 Fusion/Link monsters với negate or removal (Gyzarus, Heraklinos, Domitianus at best; Dragases at median); Going-second board-breaking: 7 hand traps + Comeback access + Extra Deck flexibility enable moderate disruption (Inferred); Choke-point: opponent negates first Glad Beast summon; deck stalls vớiout independent lines; Resource recovery: Shuffle-and-search chains provide ~2–3 card loops per cycle; net ~0 advantage (Inferred); Pilotability: multi-engine routing (Primite Triệu hồi bình thường, Mulcharmy discard, Glad Beast shuffle) requires sequencing discipline; moderate error tolerance (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta Power: unknown vớiout dated OCG metagame sample; Gladiator Beast archetype historically ~3–5% meta-share; format speed, anti-meta positioning, and matchup coverage cannot be assigned; Tournament Reliability: OCG metagame context needed to assess variance, common-interaction resilience, and post-side plan effectiveness
• Data gaps: CRITICAL: Maxx "C" is Forbidden, making deck illegal; evaluation is structural/theoretical only No combo evidence supplied (dữ liệu combo.tổng số combo = 0); all combo floor/median/ceiling claims are text-only Inferred estimates No tournament link; archetype meta-share context absent; Meta Power is Provisional vớiout dated sample No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second match records, matchup spreads, brick/consistency rates from real play) — all consistency signals are Inferred vs No boards supplied; all inferred; No post-side performance data; best-of-3 reliability cannot be measured (0/15 Side Deck, no alternative plans)
