Legality
Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 15 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 9 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon Dracotail / Dragonmaid / Dark Magician boss monsters (Dracotail Arthalion, Dragonmaid Sheou, Dark Magician of Destruction, Dragonmaid Cehrmba) from the 15-card Fusion Extra Deck, enabled by searchers and hand traps (Inferred); Shining Sarcophagus engine: Future Silence, Gadget Trio and Dark Magician Girl search Sarcophagus-mentioning cards and Special Summon Dark Magician (Inferred)
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Dracotail Faimena, Dragonmaid searchers, Dark Magician Girl) to reach a Dracotail or Dragonmaid Fusion starter; hold Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler for the opponent's first interaction (Inferred)
- Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (8 in the Main Deck, 59% chance of at least one) to break the opponent's first board, then fuse through the remaining Extra Deck monsters (Inferred)
- Recovery: Dragonmaid recursion (Dragonmaid Changeover, Dragonmaid Hospitality, Lukias/Gulamel GY effects) and searchers reload the hand after an interruption (Inferred)
- After siding: Not evaluable as written: the side deck contains Forbidden cards (Saryuja Skull Dread, Bagooska) and a Chaos Angel / Garura / Dark Magician Knight mix with no defined post-side switch plan (Inferred)
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens a searcher in hand (about 92% for at least one of the 23 searcher-text cards with a 5-card hand) and has eight hand traps plus nine negation-text cards to slow an opponent's first turn, which earns the consistency and interaction scores. Its conversion ceiling is high because the 15-card Fusion Extra Deck offers several 2800 to 3500 ATK boss monsters, but the median is held down because the list mixes at least four engines (Dracotail, Dragonmaid, Shining Sarcophagus, Dark Magician) with only 13.3% exact-name Dracotail purity and 7 of 25 Dracotail core cards present. The list is Illegal: nine copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations put it in theoretical/structural-only territory, which caps the final score at 30. Archetype popularity and usage statistics confirm the archetype is real, but they earned no points by themselves. Card scores were not averaged; the structure was scored as a system.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 58 | At least one of 23 searcher-text cards in a 5-card hand is about 92%; the 6-card archetype core group hits at about 65%, so the engine is fragile (Inferred, hypergeometric) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | Four engines and eight hand traps in 60 cards leave conflicting and dead draws; estimated brick rate is high but not measured (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 62 | Ceiling comes from Fusion bosses (Dracotail Arthalion, Dragonmaid Sheou, Dark Magician of Destruction) and Ketu/Rahu-style Fusion starters; no recorded boards exist (Inferred, text-only) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No combos in evidence; median output is text-only inference and is held down by engine conflict (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Eight hand traps, Ash Blossom and searcher redundancy give several lines after one interruption, but a single Dracotail starter is often the only route (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 50 | Recursion exists (Dragonmaid Changeover, Lukias, Gulamel) but no resource-signature data is available (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 62 | Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird and Dragonmaid Sheou/Cehrmba provide layered negations and removal; 10 removal-text cards (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Going-second relies on the 59% hand-trap hit rate and Gandora-G/Illusion Gate style removal; Called by the Grave is Forbidden and cannot be run (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Several 2800 to 3500 ATK Fusion monsters and direct-damage text (Dark Magician of Destruction, Dragonmaid Sheou) give closing power; end-board data is absent (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 40 | 60 Main Deck cards across 33 distinct names with 13.3% exact-archetype purity and 17 generic slots; compactness is low (Verified composition, Inferred consequence) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | 15 Fusion monsters across 12 distinct names give broad coverage, but dependence on several specific Extra Deck cards lowers flexibility (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 50 | Side deck mixes Chaos Angel, Garura, Dark Magician Knight and link monsters with no defined post-side plan; two side cards are Forbidden (Inferred) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; Dracotail archetype share is unavailable, so this stays provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Fusion chains with 15 Extra Deck summons and multiple engines require many decision points per turn (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53.8, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*53.8 + 0.20*45 = 52.0; modifiers -12 gives 40.0; Illegal-list cap sets the reported score to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · 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
- Searcher density (23 cards) gives about 92% searcher access in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
- Layered interaction: 8 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, 10 removal-text cards (Verified text flags)
- High-ceiling Fusion Extra Deck with several 2800 to 3500 ATK boss monsters (Verified card data)
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: 9 copy-limit and Forbidden violations (Verified)
- Engine conflict across Dracotail, Dragonmaid, Shining Sarcophagus, Dark Magician, Amorphage (Verified composition)
- Only 13.3% exact-name archetype purity and 7 of 25 usage-core Dracotail cards present (Verified usage stats)
- No combo, tournament or win-rate evidence, so median output cannot be measured (Verified data gap)
Critical choke points
- Dracotail starter access: Dracotail Faimena and Lukias are the main fusion-enablers; without them the Dracotail Fusion lines fail (Inferred)
- Forbidden Amorphage/Red-Eyes/Called by the Grave cards are unplayable in TCG, so any line that depends on them is void (Verified)
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Forbidden cards: Called by the Grave, Amorphage Sloth, Amorphage Goliath, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Saryuja Skull Dread, Bagooska | Legal replacements from the same engine (e.g., additional Dracotail, Dragonmaid or Sarcophagus cards that are not Forbidden) | These cards are Forbidden in TCG; the list cannot be played as built (Verified banlist) |
| 2 | One copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Super Polymerization, and Droll & Lock Bird | Legal 1-copy or 2-copy alternatives within the same role | Brings the copy counts to the Semi-Limited and Limited caps (Verified banlist) |
| 3 | Dark Magician and Amorphage/Red-Eyes splash cards | A single engine core (Dracotail or Dragonmaid) with the Sarcophagus package | Raises exact-name purity and reduces engine conflict (Inferred) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal status Illegal with 9 violations; Banlist status per card (Forbidden, Limited, Semi-Limited); Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 15 sizes are within TCG limits; Exact-name archetype purity 13.3%; Usage-core coverage 7 of 25
- Inferred: Searcher access probability (hypergeometric); Hand-trap access on going-second; Interaction layering from card text; Pilotability from Fusion step count
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
- 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is Illegal, so the score is a theoretical/structural cap rather than a normal contextual score
