Alister - Orichalcos Warrior Stun [Low Rogue]

Power: Low Rogue (6.9/10) - This is stronger and fully TCG-legal, but it stays Low Rogue because The Seal of Orichalcos forces a real choice between Extra Deck pressure and the stun plan. The deck can steal games, but it is not as smooth as a dedicated modern rogue engine.

Consistency: Moderate to strong. Neo Space Connector, Gouki Suprex, Gouki Twistcobra, Reinforcement of the Army, Terraforming, Pot of Extravagance, and Gouki Re-Match give the deck several openers while still keeping The Seal visible.

Ceiling: Solid. Without banned Isolde or Apollousa lines, the ceiling is no longer fake-combo high, but Gouki bodies still climb into legal Link pressure and the Seal plan can make ordinary stun monsters hit much harder.

Recovery: Solid. Gouki searches replace material, Gouki Re-Match rebuilds bodies, Monster Reborn extends after trades, and Pot of Extravagance helps find a second wave. The deck is weaker if its Gouki names are banished before they can search.

Going first/second: Going first, aim for Inspector Boarder, Spell Canceller pressure, or a Gouki setup backed by Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler. Going second, Stormforth can tribute an opposing monster into Spell Canceller, while the side deck brings Evenly Matched, Nibiru, Cosmic Cyclone, Lancea, Droll, and Feather Duster.

Choke points: Stop Neo Space Connector before Aqua Dolphin checks the hand, stop Gouki Suprex or Gouki Re-Match before bodies snowball, remove The Seal before boosted stun monsters take over combat, or answer Spell Canceller before it blanks key spell lines.

Key cards: The Seal of Orichalcos, Neo Space Connector, Gouki Suprex, Gouki Re-Match, Inspector Boarder, Spell Canceller, The Monarchs Stormforth, Pot of Extravagance.

Key combos: Connector summons Aqua Dolphin to clear or reveal interaction before committing. Gouki bodies link off to search the next Gouki name, then Re-Match revives two names for another push. The Seal boosts Boarder or Spell Canceller into harder-to-answer threats. Stormforth tributes an opposing monster to land Spell Canceller without needing to win combat. Do not activate The Seal before an Extra Deck line unless you are choosing the stun route, because it locks your Extra Deck plan once it is active.
