Dracoslayer Deck #673000 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Synchro/Link/Pendulum
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck beatsticks and Link/Synchro boards (Yazi, Baxia, Dracossack, Rockks, Honest Neos), with the Forbidden Link and Synchro boards as the intended end-board, which cannot legally be run; Pendulum Igknight and Dracoslayer pressure from Ignis Phoenix, plus HERO and Noble Knight recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Searcher chain (E - Emergency Call, Reinforcement of the Army, Ignis Phoenix, Masked HERO Dusk Crow) into a Link or Synchro board; the legal list has no core Dracoslayer engine (2 of 25 core cards present)
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom x2, Red Reboot and Nine Pillars of Yang Zing to answer the opponent's first play, then Destiny HERO - Plasma and Yazi/Baxia for board; interaction is thin without the Forbidden end-board cards
• Recovery: Searchers and Igknight pendulum recursion (Igknight Gallant, Veteran, Crusader, Paladin) rebuild hand; Break the Destiny and Denglong recover the Extra Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher chain: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.92 across 23 searcher-text cards (Inferred), so the starter problem is access rather than presence. Structurally it is a loose assembly of roughly 11 archetypes with 36 single-copy main deck cards and only 2 exact-name Dracoslayer cards (2.7% purity), so the lines do not reinforce each other and many openers will be bricks or conflicting Normal Summons. The strongest end-board and offense pieces (Borreload, Auroradon, Baronne de Fleur, Isolde, plus Called by the Grave) are Forbidden in OCG, so the list as built is illegal and its structural score is theoretical only. Popularity or archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage, capped low for legality. The zero-card side deck leaves the deck with no post-side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: min(25, 0.80*44 + 0.20*35 - 12) = min(25, 30.2) = 25; structural-only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Searcher density (23 cards, ~0.92 to hit at least one in 5) gives reliable access to the starter
• Three hand traps and 8 negation-text cards give redundant disruption
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with multiple Link and Synchro routes

Weaknesses

• Five Forbidden cards make the list illegal
• Dracoslayer core is 2 of 25 usage-core cards; the engine is not built
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• 36 single-copy main deck cards across about 11 archetypes lower consistency

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Borreload, Auroradon and Baronne de Fleur are the intended end-board; removing them leaves no legal closing plan
• Only 2 Ignis Phoenix support the Dracoslayer pendulum line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 (OCG size rules 40-60, 0-15, 0-15 are met); Five Forbidden cards at 1 copy each with 0 legal copies; Foolish Burial, Red Reboot and Reinforcement of the Army are Limited at 1 copy each (legal); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is Semi-Limited at 2 copies (legal); Exact archetype purity 2.7%; 2 of 25 usage-core cards present
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5) about 0.92; Brick and conflicting-hand estimates from copy histogram and archetype spread; Structural dimension scores D1-D14
• Provisional: Meta Power null; D13 matchup and format fit have no dated sample; Tournament reliability 35 with no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Unknown No side deck; post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
