Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute-summon True Draco boss monsters (Dinomight x3, Ignis Heat x2, Majesty Maiden x2, Eldlich the Golden Lord x2, Master Peace x1) powered by Continuous Spell/Trap tributes, with Eldlich/Golden Land as a secondary pressure line.; Removal-trap chains (True Draco Apocalypse, True King's Return, Apophis, Conquistador, Huaquero) that clear blockers and leave the opponent without a board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a True Draco Continuous Spell (Heritage, Diagram, Disciples) or Cursed Eldland, set the Continuous backrow, then Tribute-summon a Draco boss on turn 2 and protect it with set removal traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to search an engine spell, set removal and Apophis, and respond to the opponent's board with set traps and Quick Effect Tribute-summoned monsters.
• Recovery: Recycle True Draco and Golden Land cards from the GY through Disciples of the True Dracophoenix and True Draco Heritage's draw effect, and rebuild backrow from the Deck with the searchers.
• After siding: Side is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3 format.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reliably: the 14 searcher-text cards give about a 0.90 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate), and the True Draco Continuous Spells feed Tribute summons of 2300-2950 ATK monsters. Its strongest part is interaction: 26 removal-text cards, three negation-text cards, and a set-trap package that can clear a board or negate a boss on the opponent's turn (Inferred from card text). Consistency is capped by a split engine: 21 of 40 cards are True Draco, only 6 are exact Eldlich names, and Golden Land cards only reach full value with Eldlich the Golden Lord on the field. There is no recorded combo data, no tournament link, and no side deck, so the score is driven by structural card-text reads and the legality check, not by win data or the archetype's popularity. Structural power was computed from the Midrange profile over the 14 dimensions, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Control added only as a descriptive secondary, weights not blended. Structural ≈ 56.5, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflict (True Draco vs Eldlich/Golden Land) (-2); Weak post-side plan (-2); Dead Extra-Deck-only cards (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.42 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Two searcher engines (True Draco Continuous Spells and Eldlich/Cursed Eldland) give high starter access.
• Removal-trap density (26 removal-text cards) and set negation (Apophis) give strong end-board interaction.
• Boss ATK ceiling is high (2400-2950 across 10 monsters) with several Tribute-summon routes.
• Legal in Master Duel at 40 main, 0 extra, 0 side, with no banned or limited cards.

Weaknesses

• Engine split: True Draco is about half the deck and the Eldlich sub-engine runs only 6 exact cards.
• Two Anchamoufrite cannot be summoned from the Main Deck with an empty Extra Deck, so they are dead cards.
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation.
• No combo or tournament data, so consistency and median output cannot be verified.

Critical choke points

• Tribute-summon of a True Draco boss depends on a Continuous Spell/Trap already on the field, so a backrow removal or an early board wipe can stop the line.
• Golden Land Conquistador/Huaquero effects need Eldlich the Golden Lord on the field, which is run only 2 times.

Evidence & confidence

• Inferred: Searcher and starter access from the hypergeometric estimate (~0.90 for searcher, ~0.34 for a 3-copy boss).; Removal and negation density from card text (26 removal-text, 3 negation-text).; Anchamoufrite is unsummonable from the Main Deck with an empty Extra Deck, from card text.; Combo ceiling and floor are semantic reads only; no recorded boards exist.
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample).; Matchup coverage and tournament reliability (no tournament link).
• 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, matchups, or brick/starter/OTK rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the archetype name is used as the label
