Dragonmaid Deck #755329 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Dragonmaid boss monsters (Sheou, House, Lady's, Tinkhec, Nudyarl, Ernus, Lorpar) and attack through a board kept clear by hand traps; Link and Fusion follow-up through Striker Dragon and Dragon fusion monsters, with Light and Darkness Dragonlord as a board-breaker finisher
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Dragonmaid level 2 to 3 monsters and Chamber Dragonmaid, use their on-summon searches to add Dragonmaid Changeover or Hospitality, then Fusion Summon a boss from the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird or Infinite Impermanence to stop the opponent's first play, then rebuild a Dragonmaid board and Fusion Summon a boss
• Recovery: Battle-phase return effects (Chamber, Kitchen, Parlor, Nurse, Laundry) recycle Dragonmaid monsters from hand and GY to replay the Level 7 or higher searchers
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan can be scored

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Dragonmaid engine: the 17-copy archetype core has an estimated 86 percent chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its ten hand traps and Ash Blossom and Maxx C give it strong interruption coverage on the opponent's first play, which lifts the interaction and going-second scores. Conversion is unproven because no combos were recorded and the text-only read of its Fusion bosses gives a moderate ceiling, so the median output is scored lower than the cards' raw power. The score comes from consistency, interaction and bosses on the system, not from Dragonmaid being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores. The deck is Illegal (4 Chamber Dragonmaid, 2 Striker Dragon), so the total is capped and labeled structural-only, and there is no Side Deck and no meta data to lift the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-8); banlist_exposure (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then illegal-deck modifiers (-12 total)

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

• Archetype core is dense (17 copies), so a starter is likely in opening hands
• Ten hand traps and several Limited negates give broad interaction
• Multiple Fusion bosses at 2600 to 3500 ATK with recursion

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Chamber Dragonmaid at 4 copies and Striker Dragon at 2 copies
• Sub-archetype spread is wide (only 35.7 percent exact-name purity), so the engine is less coherent
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• A single Fusion boss in the Extra Deck is the closing route; losing it to a board breaker removes the finisher
• Limited-copy cards (Maxx C, Heavy Storm, Solemn Judgment) limit repeatability

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Chamber Dragonmaid 4 vs 3 and Striker Dragon 2 vs 1 over copy limit; Banlist status of Limited and Semi-Limited cards per the evidence pack; Dragonmaid core is 17 copies with exact-name purity 35.7 percent
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access of about 0.86 for the archetype core; Interaction breadth from hand-trap and negate text; Going-second and closing estimates from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta or tournament data; Side deck adaptability: no Side Deck
• 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 and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck in the export
