D/D/D Deck #700693 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: D/D/D Extra Deck Xyz, Link and Fusion bosses (Dimensional King Arc Crisis 4000 ATK, Deus Machinex 3000 ATK, Zero Doom Queen Machinex 3000 ATK) reached through Pendulum-scale and Dark Contract chains; Dark Contract standby damage and Pendulum-zone recursion grinding the opponent down over several turns
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum-summon D/D monsters from Pendulum Zones to set up a Dark Contract, then use Count/Scale Surveyor and Zero Doom Queen to reach a Link or Xyz boss; hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll for the opponent's first responses
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, PSY-Framegear Gamma, Dominus Impulse) to answer the opponent's board and then rebuild through Extra Deck boss summons
• Recovery: Recover from GY through D/D Necro Slime, D/D Lance Soldier and D/D Defense Soldier, which can be summoned or revived from the Graveyard to restart the Pendulum loop
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck relies entirely on its main deck for matchups

Why it scores here

Scored as a system, not an average of its cards: the 26-copy D/D core gives a near-certain (about 0.997) chance that a hand holds at least one D/D card, and the Pendulum scale and Dark Contract loop give a real route to a Link or Xyz boss. The deck's strongest scoring areas are interaction and resilience: 10 hand traps plus 15 negation-text cards give several independent answers to the opponent's first summon, and Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C stay live on going second. Offensive closing power comes from Extra Deck bosses at 3000 to 4000 ATK, and the Extra Deck spread (3 Link, 7 Xyz, 3 Fusion, 2 Synchro) is used well. The score is held down by the lack of combo recordings (text-only inference), a high tech and garnet burden (11 tech cards with narrow use), no side deck, and a Forbidden card in the main deck. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and the deck is capped because the list is illegal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 47. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3); hard-garnet and tech burden (-2); Pendulum scale conflicts (-1); illegal list cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: Final = 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(47) + ContextModifiers(-6) = 52 theoretical; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (Called by the Grave, Forbidden). Structural read only; not a normal Final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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

• Dense D/D core (26 copies) makes a D/D card in hand near-certain
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps plus 15 negation-text cards
• Strong Extra Deck bosses at 3000 to 4000 ATK
• Good going-second hand-trap coverage

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Called by the Grave is Forbidden and run at 1 copy
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so median output is unknown
• Heavy tech and garnet burden

Critical choke points

• Pendulum zone setup with two D/D cards is required for most lines
• Dark Contract self-damage of 1000 per standby adds up over long games
• Single-copy Extra Deck bosses (Arc Crisis, Kali Yuga, Caesar) have no duplicates

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Called by the Grave is Forbidden with 0 legal copies and 1 run, making the list Illegal; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 meet master-duel size rules; Card texts for hand traps, Dark Contracts and bosses (from resolved card data); Extra Deck breakdown: 3 Link, 7 Xyz, 3 Fusion, 2 Synchro
• Inferred: D1 consistency from hypergeometric draw odds; D5 resilience from interaction route count; D7 interaction quality from card-text read; D14 pilotability from line complexity
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit (no tournament context)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed
