Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 24 / Extra 8 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from Ruddy Rose Dragon (3200 ATK), Trishula (2700), and Gormfaobhar (2600), with Black Rose Dragon's board wipe as a reset; Dragunity Whirlwind's negate and Synchro chain when the opponent Special Summons from the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon White Rose Dragon, Special Summon a Rose Dragon from hand or GY, use Roxrose Dragon or Guisarme as Tuner, then Synchro into a Rose or Dragunity boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Dragunity Whirlwind to negate and Synchro-summon off the opponent's Special Summon, or Synchro into Black Rose Dragon to wipe the board
• Recovery: Recur from the GY with Roxrose Dragon, World Carrotweight Champion, Magician's Robe, and Dragunity Guisarme's GY Special Summon; Basal Rose Shoot's destruction trigger returns Black Rose Dragon
• After siding: Not applicable: the list has no side deck and Duel Links runs single-game ladder matches

Why it scores here

This Rose Dragon list is legal (24 main, 8 Extra, copy limits respected) and its engine is real: White Rose Dragon, Basal Rose Shoot and Roxrose Dragon are three triple-copy starters with about a 0.93 chance of at least one core card in the opener, and seven searchers smooth the draw. The score comes from the system, a Synchro shell with 7 main-deck Tuners, GY recursion, 6 negation and 5 removal text hits, and a Black Rose Dragon board wipe, not from averaging card power. The weaknesses are structural: the engine is split between Rose and Dragunity (15.6% exact-name purity), Magician's Robe has no Dark Magician target in the list, and there is no side deck. Popularity and the guide's tier 1 claim earned no points, since there are no recorded combos, tournament data or win-rate telemetry; Meta Power is provisional and the floor and median are estimates.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: engine split between sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Boss ceiling: Ruddy Rose Dragon 3200 ATK, Trishula 2700, Gormfaobhar 2600 (Verified stats)
• Interaction density: 6 negation and 5 removal text hits, plus Black Rose Dragon's board wipe (Inferred)
• GY recursion across Roxrose, World Carrotweight Champion, Magician's Robe and Dragunity Guisarme (Inferred from card text)
• Clean legality: 24 main, 8 Extra, copy limits respected, no banlist exposure (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Split engine: 13 Dragunity copies and 8 Rose copies against 5 exact Rose Dragon copies; exact-name purity 15.6% (Verified)
• Magician's Robe's first effect needs a Dark Magician in the Deck; none is in the list, so it works only through its GY effect (Verified)
• Only 3 of 25 usage-core cards are present (12%), so this is a non-standard shell (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Synchro chain depends on Tuners: 7 main-deck Tuners and 8 Synchros, each Synchro needing a live Tuner (Verified counts)

Critical choke points

• A Tuner in hand or GY for every Synchro Summon (7 main-deck Tuners)
• Each starter is a 3-of Rose card: about 0.52 chance of a given one in a 5-card opener on the play
• Dragunity Whirlwind's counter-Summon requires the opponent to control only one monster (conditional)
