True Draco Deck #754816 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute-summon True Draco / True King monsters (Master Peace 2950 ATK, Dinomight 2500 ATK, Ignis Heat 2400 ATK, Majesty Maiden 2300 ATK) and pressure with Succumbing-Song Morganite double damage and extra attacks; Recursion-driven grind: Draco Awakening, True Draco Heritage and Disciples of the True Dracophoenix rebuild Tribute fodder and searchers from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Draco Awakening or Dragonic Diagram to set up the Continuous Spell/Trap Tribute, then Dinomight Knight or Majesty Maiden to pressure while holding removal traps (True Draco Apocalypse, True King's Return) for the opponent's threat
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold The Monarchs Erupt and The Great Gallant Bandit (1 copy) for negation; Time-Tearing Morganite extra draw supports resource advantage while the deck rebuilds the board
• Recovery: Disciples of the True Dracophoenix shuffles 3 GY True Draco/True King cards back for a draw; Draco Awakening and True Draco Heritage then rebuild the Tribute line
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the Side slot is a gap, not a choice

Why it scores here

The deck's structural strength is its engine density: 24 True Draco/True King core copies give a 99.3% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric), and 17 searcher-text cards push the searcher group to about 95% per opening hand. Recursion (Draco Awakening, True Draco Heritage, Disciples) and the removal traps give it a credible grind and interruption-recovery profile, and the Monarch negation package adds some going-second interaction. The score comes from consistency, recursion-based resource economy and closing power evaluated on the system, not from True Draco's popularity and not from averaging individual card scores. Because the list runs 3 copies of Card of Demise against a legal limit of 1, the deck is Illegal; it is scored as a theoretical, structural-only read and capped at 35. Mixed sub-archetype lines (Monarch, Greed, Morganite at 48% off-archetype) and an empty Side Deck further limit the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile only; Combo/Toolbox traits noted in narrative, not blended. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); illegal_deck_cap (-16). Final formula: min(35, 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + Modifiers(-8)) = min(35, 51) = 35; Illegal-deck cap applied (theoretical/structural only); Meta Provisional and excluded

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

• Very high core density: 24 True Draco/True King copies give near-certain opening-hand starter access (Inferred)
• Recursion loop (Draco Awakening, True Draco Heritage, Disciples of the True Dracophoenix) supports resource grind (Inferred)
• Strong Tribute-summon closing monsters (2300-2950 ATK) with removal backup (Verified stats, Inferred role)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Card of Demise run at 3 copies against a legal limit of 1 (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Only 52.5% exact archetype purity; Monarch/Greed/Morganite slots dilute the engine (Verified composition)
• No combo boards recorded; ceiling and median are text-only inference (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Tribute-summon condition: most closing monsters need a Continuous Spell/Trap or monster Tribute, so the Continuous Spell/Trap line is a single point of failure (Inferred)
• Card of Demise over the copy limit makes the list illegal until corrected (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 0 extra, 0 side; Card of Demise run at 3 vs legal limit 1 (Illegal); Composition: 19 distinct main cards, 52.5% exact archetype purity, 0 Extra Deck cards, 0 side cards; Usage statistics: 10 of 10 core cards present; Card stats from resolved card text and ATK/DEF values
• Inferred: D1 starter accessibility from hypergeometric estimates (0.9934 core, 0.949 searcher); Recursion, removal and negation roles from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from text and composition; Interaction density read from role hints (20 removal, 5 negation)
• Provisional: Meta Power null; archetype share and format fit (D13 = 50) unavailable without a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied - combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link - archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) - those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated Deck is Illegal (Card of Demise over copy limit); result is theoretical/structural-only
