Drytron Deck #742014 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Ritual, Xyz
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Drytron Ritual/Xyz boards (Meteonis Drytron into Drytron Meteonis Draconids / Drytron Meteonis DA Draconids, plus Drytron Alpha Thuban and Delta Altais 2000-ATK beaters, with Mulcharmy Fuwalos as a draw-based engine); Extra Deck Xyz and Link follow-up (Downerd-free; Sylvan Princessprite, Number F0: Utopic Draco Future, Haggard Lizardose) if the Drytron ritual line is blanked
• Turn 1 (going first): Drytron Nu II or Alpha Thuban special summon through a Drytron on field, searching a Drytron Ritual Spell (Meteonis Drytron) and ritual-summoning a Meteonis Draconid; hand traps held for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with 16 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to strip the opponent's first engine activation, then rebuild the Drytron ritual board
• Recovery: Drytron Fafnir and Drytron Nova recover the engine from the GY; Meteonis Drytron GY effect and Drytron Meteonis Draconids GY banish-cost effects provide repeated Ritual access if the board is cleared
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: three Forbidden OCG cards are run (Triple Tactics Talent x2, Dimension Shifter, F.A. Dawn Dragster), so it receives a structural-only read capped at 30 rather than a normal Final score. Its engine is accessible: the 33-copy Drytron core gives a 0.99 probability of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Drytron Ritual and Xyz lines are recoverable from the GY. Interaction is dense for a going-second plan, with 16 hand traps and multiple negation effects (Inferred from card text). The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system; it does not come from Drytron's popularity or from averaging card scores. The median and ceiling are estimated from text only because no recorded boards exist, and the deck has no Side Deck, so adaptability is scored at the floor.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used alone; secondary Stun noted for context. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural 59.7 -> 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 57.8, less banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 45.8, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core archetype density (33 Drytron-core copies) gives near-certain engine access
• 16 hand traps and multiple negation effects cover going-second plays
• Ritual and Xyz boss options with GY recursion give repeated board presence

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden OCG cards must be removed before any normal score applies
• Zero Side Deck cards means no adaptability
• Heavy reliance on a single Meteonis Drytron ritual enabler

Critical choke points

• Single Meteonis Drytron (1 copy) gates all Ritual summons
• Ritual Summon requires exact Machine tribute totals, so Machine-heavy hands can still fail

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 3 Forbidden OCG cards run (Triple Tactics Talent x2, Dimension Shifter, F.A. Dawn Dragster); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules; Drytron core is 33 copies (usage core, 100% inclusion for several core cards)
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.99 from the archetype-core hypergeometric proxy; Going-second interaction density from 16 hand traps and negation text; Ritual choke on the single Meteonis Drytron
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample supplied; D13 matchup and format fit scored neutral without tournament or meta data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for OCG Drytron No dated metagame sample, so Meta Power is Provisional No Side Deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
