Dracoslayer Deck #682471 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-driven boards (Dracoslayer and Majespecter Pendulums) that Extra Deck summon Synchro, Xyz, Link or Fusion finishers such as Ignister Prominence, Majester Paladin, Unchained Abomination and Dinoster Power (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Majespecter Draco - Ryu and Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer pressure once the Pendulum Zone is live (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Pendulum scales, Pendulum Summon Dinomight Powerload or Majespecter Raccoon, search the next Pendulum or Extra Deck enabler, then Link or Xyz into a finisher (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Nibiru as hand traps, then Pendulum Summon through the opponent's board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers (23 copies with search text) such as Majespecter Crow, Fox and Raccoon rebuild the Pendulum pair from the Deck (Inferred)
• After siding: None. The deck runs an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The deck can reliably open its Pendulum engine: the archetype core (16 copies) has about an 83% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and 23 searcher-text cards help rebuild it. Interaction is layered through five hand traps and eight negation-text cards, which keeps the Pendulum board alive through common disruption. Conversion to a win is only inferred from card text, since no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and floor are both Inferred and not measured. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; the score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from averaging card scores. Three Forbidden cards and an oversized Extra Deck make the list illegal, which caps the result as a theoretical read, and the empty Side Deck leaves no post-side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Theoretical cap for an Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-10) = 37, capped at 35. Meta Power provisional and excluded.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Archetype core reachable in most opening hands (≈83%)
• 23 searcher-text cards support recovery
• Five hand traps and eight negation-text cards give layered interaction
• Strong Extra Deck closers once the Pendulum Zone is live

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and Extra Deck of 17 (max 15)
• Exact archetype purity 22%; 56 off-archetype copies across several sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are inferred only

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone must hold two live scales to open most lines
• Extra Deck finishers depend on Pendulum Monsters in the Extra Deck, so a single Pendulum loss stalls the Extra route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards over the copy limit (legal copies 0); Extra Deck size 17 exceeds OCG maximum 15; Main Deck size 55 within 40–60; Limited and Semi-Limited copies are within limits; Archetype exact-name purity 22.2%
• Inferred: Archetype-core hand probability ≈ 0.83 (hypergeometric); Pendulum engine conversion and finishers from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Interaction density from text flags
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Side Deck empty — no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
