Dracotail Deck #736554 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Control the board with resource advantage, removal, and high‑ATK finishers
• Turn 1 (going first): Draw and search key Dracotail cards, set up board‑wipe traps, then summon a high‑ATK monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Use extra‑deck summons and board‑breakers to disrupt opponent, then close with Dracotail Pan or Dragonmaid Lorpar
• Recovery: Recycle banished cards with D.D. Post and Dark Factory draws, then re‑establish hand advantage
• After siding: No side deck; rely on in‑deck flexibility

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with at least one core Dracotail piece about half the time, allowing a removal‑heavy start. It can convert that starter into board pressure using draw and search loops, then finish with 2700‑ATK monsters. Interaction density is high thanks to many removal and two negation cards, and the deck recovers resources via banish‑recursion effects. However, the engine is fragmented, the main deck is low‑purity, and there is no side deck, which limits consistency and adaptability. Scores reflect the system’s control focus rather than raw card power or popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 51.7, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.51 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.49 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High interaction density with many removal and draw cards
• Strong end‑board monsters (2700 ATK)
• Flexible extra‑deck options across several archetypes
• Resource recursion via banish and draw effects

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity and fragmented core engine
• No hand traps to protect against opponent combos
• No side deck for post‑side adaptation
• Complex decision tree reduces consistency

Critical choke points

• Need to draw at least one core Dracotail card early
• Reliance on specific Fusion or board‑wipe combos that are not guaranteed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status Legal; card text excerpts for each card; probabilities hypergeometric values; usage_statistics core presence data
• Inferred: engine accessibility based on core probability; brick estimate from composition; combo ceiling and floor from lack of boards; interruption resilience from multiple removal paths; resource economy from draw and banish loops; interaction quality from role_tag_counts; going‑second board breaking from board‑wipe cards; offensive closing power from monster ATK values; main deck efficiency from archetype purity; extra deck efficiency from spread across archetypes; pilotability from list complexity
• Provisional: matchup coverage due to missing tournament data
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
