True Draco Deck #754112 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Stun
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute Summon True Draco / True King monsters (Master Peace 2950, Dinomight 2500, Ignis Heat 2400, Majesty Maiden 2300) through a Continuous Spell/Trap tribute engine, while floodgates and negation shut down the opponent's board.; Recursion and draw from Disciples of the True Dracophoenix, True Draco Heritage and Draco Awakening to rebuild the True Draco engine after it is interrupted.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Continuous Spell/Trap engine piece with Draco Awakening or Dragonic Diagram, tribute it for a True Draco monster, and hold floodgates or negation for the opponent's first response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use negation and floodgates (Monarchs Erupt, Skill Drain, Light/Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror, Non-Fusion Area) to slow the opponent's board, then rebuild the True Draco engine through recursion and search.
• Recovery: Recover from a single removal or negation by recycling True Draco cards from the GY with Disciples or Heritage and re-entering through Ignis Heat, Dinomight or Majesty Maiden.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play would repeat the same 55-card list.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably puts a True Draco-family card in hand: P(at least one of the 25 archetype-core copies in a 5-card opening) is 0.959, and P(at least one of the 17 searcher-text cards) is 0.856 (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its engine is the Tribute Summon of True Draco monsters through Continuous Spell/Trap tributes, and that engine is the source of its closing power, which is moderate (Master Peace 2950 is the only high-ATK boss). Its interaction is layered but largely self-conflicting: Amano-Iwato and Inspector Boarder restrict the owner's own monsters, so the deck scores on interaction density (D7), not on a clean engine. No combo boards were recorded, so the conversion and median scores are text-only inference, and the score does not come from the archetype's popularity (usage stats only confirm the list is the standard core) nor from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun primary; Combo secondary used only for the ceiling read (D3). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 53, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); weak or absent post-side plan (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample); 0.80*50.2 + 0.20*48 = 49.8, then context modifiers -7 = 42.8, rounded to 43

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.17 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core archetype access is very high (P = 0.959 for at least one core copy in hand5).
• Layered negation and floodgates (six pieces) give interaction breadth across both turns.
• Recursion and search (Disciples, Heritage, Draco Awakening) give some resilience after disruption.

Weaknesses

• Floodgates such as Amano-Iwato and Inspector Boarder restrict the owner's own monsters and summons.
• No Extra Deck and no Side Deck: no coverage from the Extra slots and no post-side adaptation.
• Only 16 monsters in 55 cards; hands with no monster are common (about 17% going first).

Critical choke points

• The Continuous Spell/Trap tribute for True Draco monsters: if the setup Continuous piece is removed or negated, the monster engine stalls.
• Inspector Boarder's summon restriction prevents its use while the owner controls a monster.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in OCG: 55 Main cards within 40-60; Skill Drain and Terraforming are Limited at 1 copy each.; Extra Deck is empty and Side Deck is empty (0 and 0).; Archetype usage shows all 10 core cards present (100%).
• Inferred: P(at least one archetype-core copy in hand5) = 0.959 and P(monster in hand5) = 0.83 (hypergeometric).; Engine conflicts between floodgates and the owner's monsters.; Interaction density from the negation and floodgate text.
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13): no dated metagame sample or 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 match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry for going first, going second, matchups, or brick and starter rates. Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample.
