Rose Dragon Deck #346973 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 20 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro-summon Ruddy Rose Dragon (3200 ATK) or Black Rose Dragon, then close with Trishula, Samurai Destroyer, Clear Wing or Black Rose Moonlight Dragon attacks.; Rose-family recursion: Basal Rose Shoot and Blue Rose Dragon bring Black Rose Dragon back from the GY, so the Synchro engine can be rebuilt after a board is cleared.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Tuner (Roxrose Dragon or Ruddy Rose Witch) plus Rose-family starters. Roxrose's Normal/Special Summon trigger searches a Black Rose-linked card, then Synchro into Black Rose Dragon or Ruddy Rose Dragon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Forbidden Lance, Forbidden Chalice, Ice Dragon's Prison or Compulsory Evacuation Device for the opponent's turn, then Synchro through the hand-plus-field disruption. Tuner access in six cards is about 0.79 (Inferred).
• Recovery: After a board is cleared, Basal Rose Shoot and Blue Rose Dragon target Black Rose Dragon in the GY or banished zone to re-summon it. Roxrose and World Carrotweight Champion add GY-based re-entry.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so the post-side plan is absent by format, not by deck design.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan with high reliability: the 9-copy Rose core is about 0.97 likely to show at least one card in a five-card opening hand, and the four main-deck Tuners (Roxrose Dragon x3, Ruddy Rose Witch x1) give about 0.72 access to a Synchro starter (Inferred). Conversion is strong on the system, since Black Rose Dragon's field wipe and Ruddy Rose Dragon's negate/removal text give several routes to a board break, and the Extra Deck supplies high-ATK closers (Ruddy Rose Dragon 3200, Trishula 2700, Samurai Destroyer 2600). Survival rests on recursion: Basal Rose Shoot, Blue Rose Dragon and the GY effects of Roxrose and World Carrotweight Champion can re-summon Rose-family monsters after a disruption. The score is capped by the absence of recorded boards (no combo median or floor), the single-copy Black Rose Dragon choke point, and no side deck. The score comes from consistency, conversion and interaction on the system, not from the archetype's popularity or from averaging individual card scores. The guide's 'tier 1' remark is a human opinion and earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Single-copy Extra-Deck choke point (-3); Engine compactness (2); Tuner access burden (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-2); Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Rose-family core is near-certain to appear in the opening hand (~0.97)
• Multiple recursion routes (Basal Rose Shoot, Blue Rose Dragon, Roxrose, Carrotweight) support interruption recovery
• High-ATK Synchro closers across several levels and attributes
• No banlist exposure: all cards are Unlimited

Weaknesses

• Single-copy Black Rose Dragon in the Extra Deck is a choke point for the recursion plan
• Only four Main Deck Tuners; about 28% of opening hands lack a Synchro starter
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median cannot be measured
• Low archetype purity (27.6% exact name) with several off-family utility cards

Critical choke points

• Tuner access in the opening hand (~0.72)
• Black Rose Dragon as the sole copy for GY recursion
• Synchro summon as the only Extra Deck access path for most closers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 20 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side, all cards Unlimited; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype usage: Basal Rose Shoot, Roxrose and White Rose are core (Verified stat)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric Tuner access (~0.72 going first, ~0.79 going second); Recursion-route independence and single-copy choke point; Interaction density and closing power from text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, ceiling and board-per-starter are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample Duel Links has no Side Deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
