Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Tenpai Dragon Synchro and Link beatdown through Sangenpai and Trident Dragion boards, with Tenpai Dragon Paidra and Fadra as the attacking engine; Hand-trap and negate backed follow-up with Black Rose Dragon and Ruddy Rose Dragon as board breakers
- Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Tenpai Dragon Paidra or Genroku, search a Sangen Spell/Trap, and build toward a Synchro Summon from Extra Deck (Inferred from card text, no recorded boards)
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Solemn effects and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps, then rebuild through Sangen Kaimen and Dora Dora (Inferred from card text)
- Recovery: Dora Dora, Sangen Kaimen and Genroku recursion to restart the Tenpai engine after interaction (Inferred)
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
As submitted this deck is Illegal: eight distinct cards exceed their copy limits, including three Forbidden cards (Dimensional Barrier, Dimension Shifter, Triple Tactics Talent), so the score is capped at 25 and reported as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structurally the list has a real Tenpai Dragon engine: Paidra, Fadra, Genroku and Chundra give Normal-Summon and Synchro-Summon access into Sangenpai and Trident Dragion, and the probability tables put at least one searcher in the opening 5 at about 72 percent and at least one archetype core card at about 87 percent (Inferred). Interaction is dense on paper (12 hand-trap and 20 negation-text cards), and the Extra Deck of 15 with 10 Synchro and 4 Link is efficiently used, but 33 of 55 Main cards are level-0 Spells and Traps and only 25 distinct Main cards are run, which points to a crowded toolbox rather than a compact engine. No recorded boards, tournament link, side deck or win-rate data exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and popularity or archetype usage did not earn points. The score was not averaged from individual card scores.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(at least one searcher in hand of 5) about 0.72 and P(at least one core card) about 0.87 from hypergeometric tables; Tenpai engine present but only 9 of 25 usage-core cards are run (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 42 | Three copies of several Limited and Forbidden cards plus 33 level-0 Spells and Traps create redundancy and dead-draw risk; the banned copies would be removed in a legal build (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 52 | Ceiling read from card text only: Tenpai Synchro chains into Trident or Sangenpai Dragion boards, but no recorded combos exist (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No combos supplied, so the median cannot be measured; expected to fall well below the ceiling given the tech density (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 42 | Twelve hand traps and Genroku/Dora recursion give some route redundancy, but few independent lines are confirmed by text (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 45 | Twelve searcher-text cards and Pot of Prosperity/Terraforming support card flow; recursion through Genroku and Sangen Kaimen (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 60 | Twenty negation-text cards and hand traps layer interaction; the Forbidden and Limited copies would need to be cut, lowering breadth (Inferred, semantic from text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Going-second hand-trap coverage is about 0.79 (probability table) and Synchro boards can challenge a board, but the break-through depends on Limited removal (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 55 | Transcendent Dragion (3000 ATK) and Trident Dragion (3000 ATK) give closing power; no end-board observations (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | Main deck of 55 with 25 distinct cards and 13 cards at three copies; compaction is weak and several Forbidden slots are dead in a legal build (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | Extra Deck of 15 is full with 10 Synchro, 4 Link and 1 Xyz, and each Extra card has a clear role (Verified from composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No Side Deck at all (Side Deck size 0), so no adaptability is available (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype share unavailable, so matchup fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multiple hand-trap timings, Synchro chains and Tenpai effect tracking across turns raise decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weights applied. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural-only. Structural (Midrange weights, 46.6) and Tournament Reliability 40 give 0.80*47 + 0.20*40 = 45.6 before modifiers and cap; modifiers total -8 and the result is capped at 25 for illegality. Meta provisional.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Tenpai Dragon Normal-Summon and Synchro engine with searchers (Verified card text)
- Dense hand-trap and negation coverage (Verified tags, Inferred strength)
- Full Extra Deck of 15 with Synchro, Link and Xyz options (Verified)
Weaknesses
- Illegal copy counts and Forbidden cards (Verified)
- No side deck (Verified)
- Many level-0 Spells and Traps and only 25 distinct Main cards, so the engine is diluted (Verified composition, Inferred effect)
- No recorded combos, win data or tournament context (Verified gap)
Critical choke points
- Tenpai Dragon Paidra or Fadra must be live for the Synchro route; Ash Blossom and Droll are the main protection layer and are both over-limit
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dimensional Barrier, Dimension Shifter, Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) | Legal substitutes within the Tenpai or Sangen package | Forbidden cards cannot be played in TCG; the deck is illegal without these cuts |
| 2 | Extra copies of Solemn Judgment, Sangen Kaimen, Tenpai Dragon Chundra, Droll & Lock Bird and Ash Blossom beyond legal limits | Single copies, with the freed slots going to Tenpai engine cards | Brings all Limited and Semi-Limited cards to legal counts and reduces dead copies in hand |
| 3 | Some level-0 tech Spells and Traps | Side Deck cards (currently 0) | A side deck is needed for best-of-3 post-side adaptability |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Eight copy-limit violations and three Forbidden cards in the main deck; No side deck (Side Deck size 0); Card text for listed cards from the evidence pack
- Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities from hypergeometric tables; Consistency and brick estimates from composition; Ceiling and median from card text only; Interaction quality from negation and hand-trap text
- Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second and matchup rates unknown Meta power provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck is Illegal: scores are theoretical structural-only and not a normal contextual score
