Raidraptor Deck #495243 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank-Up-Magic chains into Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon, Satellite Cannon Falcon or Arsenal Falcon as a boss Xyz; Negate-and-recover lock: hand traps and Lanius negations slow the opponent until a Xyz boss lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Fuzzy Lanius, Tribute Lanius, Noir Lanius or Force Strix), summon Rank 3 to 4 Xyz, then use Rank-Up-Magic to reach a boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Maxx C on the opponent's first Summon or search, then rebuild through Raider's Wing and Heel Eagle
• Recovery: Recover from the Graveyard: Heel Eagle banishes to add a Raidraptor Spell or Trap, Roost returns Raidraptor monsters, and Raider's Wing re-summons
• After siding: No Side Deck cards are registered, so no post-side plan is evidenced

Why it scores here

This is scored as a theoretical structure only, because the list is Illegal: it runs 2 copies of Called by the Grave (Forbidden in Master Duel) and 2 copies of Maxx C against a limit of 1. Structurally the deck opens well, since 16 searcher-text cards give roughly a 90% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the Lanius and Strix line converts into Xyz summons. Its strongest parts are the back end, where Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon, Satellite Cannon Falcon and Arsenal Falcon give high closing power, and the 8 hand traps plus the negation-text cards give layered interaction. Its weaknesses are a 22-copy off-archetype slice (about 63% exact-archetype purity), no Side Deck, and a demanding Rank-Up sequencing burden. No recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based and Inferred; archetype popularity earned no points and card scores were not averaged. Structural 67 and tournament reliability 63 give about 66, minus a 12-point banlist modifier to 54, and the Illegal status caps the final score at 30.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.7 Midrange / 0.3 Combo. Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 69, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 63. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 66.2; banlist modifier -12 gives 54.2; Illegal list capped at 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.31 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density gives a high chance of a functional opening (about 90% for at least one searcher)
• Layered interaction: hand traps plus negation and removal text cards
• Strong Extra Deck coverage, with boss Xyz from Rank 3 to 13 and a Link-2
• Recovery through Graveyard recursion and Raider's Wing reuse

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Called by the Grave (Forbidden) and Maxx C (Limit 1) are both over limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Only about 63% of Main Deck copies match the exact archetype name; several off-archetype tech cards need specific board states
• Heavy Rank-Up sequencing burden

Critical choke points

• The Lanius searcher and the Rank 3 to 4 Xyz base must line up on turn 1 for the boss line to start
• Forbidden and Limited copies cannot be played in a legal event, so the deck must be rebuilt before the score can be trusted

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 violations (Called by the Grave Forbidden; Maxx C over limit); Main Deck 45 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within size rules; Boss ATK and level values from card data; Exact-name archetype purity 63.3%
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency for the Lanius searcher and hand-trap lines; Going-first and going-second strength read from text and hand-trap density; Interaction density and resilience from the negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (archetype-level context only); Side Deck adaptability (no Side Deck registered)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate Usage statistics mark Force Strix, Wise Strix, Rising Rebellion Falcon, Brave Strix and Raider's Knight as not in this deck even though the deck list runs them, so the core coverage figure is unreliable Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has no title
