RaidRaptor Deck #754955 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz/Link board built from Phantom Knights and Raidraptor Xyz monsters, with Rank-Up-Magic and Raider's Wing/Knight extension (Inferred from card text); Negate-and-grind: hand traps and Solemn/Droll effects stall the opponent until the Extra Deck board can take over (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Phantom Knights searcher or Mulcharmy engine, build toward a Xyz with Rank-Up-Magic, and hold Ash Blossom or Droll for the opponent's first response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first summon or search (Ash, Evenly Matched, Infinite Impermanence, Droll) and convert the resulting tempo into a Xyz (Inferred)
• Recovery: Banish Phantom Knights from the GY to re-summon or search Rank-Up-Magic and rebuild the Xyz engine (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in the list (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck's structural power comes from its interaction layer: 21 negation-text cards and 11 hand traps give it strong answers to the opponent's first summon or search, which the going-second line uses to buy tempo. Its Xyz engine is real but split across two sub-archetypes (Phantom Knights 26 copies, Raidraptor 3 exact copies), so it is less coherent than the name suggests. The archetype core is present in about 71% of 5-card openers (Inferred), but the list carries several dead cards (Mulcharmy, Solemn, Harpie, Lightning Storm, Triple Tactics) that lower consistency and median output. No combos or tournament data exist to measure a floor, median, or ceiling, so the scoring is structural and text-based. The deck is Illegal in the OCG format (five copy-limit or banlist violations, including two Forbidden cards), so it is capped at 30 and labeled structural-only. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun primary; D13 dropped and renormalized for the meta-neutral structural read (Provisional). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts and dead inclusions (-4); Illegal-list cap (-7). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (formula gives ~37 before cap)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.71 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.29 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense negation and hand-trap package (21 negation-text, 11 hand traps) for the going-second game
• Xyz finishers reach 2000-3000 ATK with GY recursion for a second wave
• Searchers (9 copies) and GY banish-recursion support resource recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards and three copy-limit violations
• Split engine across Phantom Knights and Raidraptor with only 3 exact-name Raidraptor copies
• Several dead inclusions (Mulcharmy, Solemn, Harpie, Lightning Storm, Triple Tactics) lower consistency
• No side deck registered, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Single-card Rank-Up-Magic and Xyz material routes; loss of the Xyz starter ends the line
• Reliance on Ash Blossom and Droll counts that exceed the OCG limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG: five copy-limit or banlist violations (Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden); Main 57 and Extra 15 are inside OCG size rules; Side 0 is allowed; No side deck, no combos, no tournament link, no guides
• Inferred: Archetype core present in about 71% of 5-card openers (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high based on negation and hand-trap text; Engine is split across Phantom Knights and Raidraptor
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no 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 record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup rates are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck in the export
