RaidRaptor Deck #754049 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon high-Rank Raidraptor monsters (Rising Rebellion Falcon 4000 ATK, Ultimate Falcon 3500 ATK, Satellite Cannon Falcon 3000 ATK) and attack or use their effects to finish the game; Ritual Summon Mitsurugi monsters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi 3200 ATK) using Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Mirror
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Raidraptor Level 4 starter (Tribute Lanius, Strangle Lanius, or Mimicry Lanius) and use Rank-Up-Magic and Raider's Wing material loops to reach a Rank 4 to 7 Xyz; hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird as interaction for the first opposing action
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Infinite Impermanence, Red Reboot, and Maxx "C" to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Raidraptor searchers and Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force
• Recovery: Raidraptor Xyz Monsters and Rank-Up-Magic spells recycle from the Graveyard; Mitsurugi Prayers and Pre-Preparation of Rites refill the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck scores on the system, not on an average of its cards. The Raidraptor core (13 archetype copies, P(at least one in opening hand of 5) ≈ 0.86) gives a reasonably reliable Level 4 starter, and the 16 searcher-text cards add redundancy (P ≥ 1 searcher in 5 ≈ 0.92). Interaction is the strongest component: 7 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards let the deck answer both turns, and the Xyz chains recycle Rank-Up-Magic spells and Raidraptor monsters from the Graveyard. Offensive power rests on 4000 and 3500 ATK Xyz Monsters in the Extra Deck. Two things pull the score down: the list is illegal (three Forbidden cards, including three copies of Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi), so the score is capped as theoretical and structural only, and it has no Side Deck and only 40% exact-name archetype purity, with Mitsurugi, Phantom Knights and generic cards diluting the engine. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core appears in 52–68% of usage stats, and no tournament or win-rate data exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal list cap (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53; modifiers -12 (banlist exposure) gives 41; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (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

• Strong interaction layer: 7 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards answer both turns
• Xyz chains recycle Rank-Up-Magic spells and Raidraptor monsters from the Graveyard
• High-ATK Extra Deck finishers (Rising Rebellion Falcon 4000, Ultimate Falcon 3500) for closing

Weaknesses

• The list is illegal: three Forbidden cards, including three copies of Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Three archetype families (Raidraptor, Mitsurugi, Phantom Knights) with only 40% exact-name purity dilute the engine
• No combo, tournament or win-rate data to confirm consistency or conversion

Critical choke points

• The Raidraptor Level 4 starter: the core is 13 copies, but without one the Xyz chain does not start
• Forbidden cards must be removed before this list can be played in OCG; every line that uses them is void

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 Forbidden cards and 1 Limited copy over the limit; Card text and stats for all 42 Main and 15 Extra cards; Archetype usage stats: 8 of 18 core cards present (44%); Exact-name archetype purity 40.4%
• Inferred: P(≥1 Level 4 starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.86; Brick proxy ≈ 0.14 (archetype-core group); Interaction density from negation and hand-trap text; Going-second strength from text, not from data
• Provisional: Meta Power is null (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability
• 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 without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty (side_count 0) Deck title is null
