RaidRaptor Deck #746415 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Monsters from the Extra Deck (Raidraptor Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon, Satellite Cannon Falcon) overwhelm the board after Lanius and Raider's Wing starts; Ritual Summons of Mitsurugi Reptiles (Ame no Murakumo) for a single large board swing
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Raidraptor Lanius or Raider's Wing starter, Normal Summon to reach a Level 4 Xyz base, then search with the Mitsurugi or Raidraptor searchers and Overlay into a Rank 4-7 Xyz Monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot or Infinite Impermanence to slow the opponent, then rebuild through Rank-Up-Magic and Xyz recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force and Rise Rank-Up-Magic Raidraptor's Force rebuild the Xyz board from the GY, and Lanius-type monsters are recycled through the Graveyard
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on consistency, engine cohesion, interaction, and closing power, not as an average of card scores. Its Raidraptor Lanius and Raider's Wing starters reach the archetype core in about 86% of going-first hands (Inferred hypergeometric estimate, 13 core copies), and the Extra Deck gives high closing power through Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon and Satellite Cannon Falcon. Interaction is broad (seven hand traps and several negate or removal spells), with about 69% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second six-card hand. The score is held down by the Illegal status: three Forbidden cards are run (Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi x3, King of the Feral Imps, Triple Tactics Talent), so the list cannot be played as built. Low main-deck cohesion (exact archetype purity 40%, with Mitsurugi and Phantom Knights cards mixed in), 20 Level 0 spells and traps, and an empty Side Deck further pull the result down. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not credited, and no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, D13 dropped and weights renormalised (meta-neutral, Meta provisional). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-2); no_boards_or_unverified_combos (-2). Final formula: Structural 56 (Combo profile, D13 renormalised out) -> 0.80*56 + 0.20*40 = 52.8, then context modifiers -12 (cap total), then Illegal-list cap to 30; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is reachable in most going-first hands (about 86%)
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 3000 to 4000 ATK
• Seven hand traps and multiple negates give layered interaction on going second
• Xyz recursion through Rank-Up-Magic gives some recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden cards run
• Low archetype purity (40.4%) with Mitsurugi and Phantom Knights cards mixed in
• Empty Side Deck means no post-side adaptation
• Many Level 0 spells and traps lower Main Deck efficiency

Critical choke points

• Lanius and Raider's Wing starters: a single hand-trap or negate on the starter ends the first Xyz line
• Xyz Monsters depend on Level 4 bases; without a starter the Extra Deck is not reachable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 Forbidden cards over the copy limit (Verified); Composition: 42 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, purity 40.4% (Verified); Card text and stats for Xyz finishers (Verified); Usage: 8 of 17 core cards present, core present 47.1% (Verified)
• Inferred: Starter access ~86% for the archetype core (hypergeometric); Interaction density and resilience read from card text; Ceiling and median from text only, no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; ceiling and median are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export Side Deck is empty
