Dinomist Deck #545100 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-Majespecter and Dracoslayer boards that convert into Extra Deck Link, Synchro and Xyz boss monsters (Ignister Prominence, Unchained Abomination, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) on the field; Dinomist / Dracoslayer Fusion and Xyz pressure with Majespecter Draco - Ryu and Majester Paladin, supported by Majespecter Tempest and Maxx C interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Pendulum Monster and Majespecter searchers (Raccoon, Crow, Fox, Toad) to set up a Pendulum pair, then Pendulum Summon Dracoslayer / Majespecter monsters into Link or Xyz boss monsters; hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the first opposing activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Nibiru when 5+ monsters were summoned, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Majespecter searchers and Dracoslayer Pendulum recursion
• Recovery: Pendulum searchers and Vaylantz / Majespecter Field Spells refill hand after a disruption; Dinowrestler Pankratops and Crossout Designator provide board-breaking or removal
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the list would have to add side cards before any best-of-3 use

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system rather than an average of its cards: the Majespecter and Dracoslayer Pendulum engines have a strong searcher density (23 searcher-text cards, about 94 percent to hit at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and a 12-copy archetype core that opens at about 72 percent, so the engine is reliably live on turn 1 to 2 (Inferred). Interaction is dense for an OCG list (6 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards, Majespecter Tempest, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Crossout Designator), which is what carries the end-board score. Conversion and the median are not measured because no combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and floor scores are text-only inference. The deck is Illegal: it runs 3 Ash Blossom against a limit of 2, four Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave x2, Borreload Savage Dragon, Baronne de Fleur, Number 41), and a 17-card Extra Deck against a 15-card limit, so the displayed score is capped and the structural value (about 59) is theoretical only. Popularity was not used to earn points: the archetype core is only 40 percent present and purity by exact archetype name is 0 percent, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; the Midrange weight set is used directly. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); Extra Deck over limit (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 57.2, minus 12 context modifiers = 45.2; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Pendulum search density (23 searcher-text cards) makes the engine reliably live
• Dense interaction package: 6 hand traps, negations and removal
• Multiple boss monsters with 2850 to 3000 ATK across Link, Synchro and Xyz

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: over copy limit on Ash Blossom and Forbidden cards included
• Extra Deck of 17 exceeds the 15-card limit
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Only 40 percent of the archetype core is present; the list mixes Majespecter, Dracoslayer, Vaylantz and Magician sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• The Pendulum zones: most engines need a live Pendulum pair
• Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Baronne de Fleur, Borreload) remove key interaction and boss options until the list is fixed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 3 Ash Blossom vs limit 2; Called by the Grave x2, Borreload, Baronne, Bagooska Forbidden; Extra 17 > 15; Main 55 within 40-60; copy histogram and archetype spread; Card text for the cards listed in evidence
• Inferred: Engine accessibility 0.72 core / 0.94 searcher, from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from hand traps, negations and removal text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament data); Side deck adaptability (side 0)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
