Rose Dragon Deck #758451 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Synchro boss monsters from the Extra Deck, chiefly Dragonmaid Sheou (3500 ATK), Light and Darkness Dragonlord (3400 ATK), and Dragonmaid Lorpar / Tinkhec (2700 ATK).; Synchro dragons (Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion, Trident Dragion, Ruddy Rose Dragon) once a Tuner is available.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and set Dragonmaid or Sangen support through Chamber, Kitchen and Parlor Dragonmaid, Tenpai Dragon Paidra and Mulcharmy draws, then build a Fusion or Synchro boss. Hand traps are held for the opponent's turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Ghost Belle) to disrupt the opponent's starter, then use Mulcharmy draw effects and Dragonmaid searches to rebuild.
• Recovery: Dragonmaid monsters return to the hand or GY and Special Summon from there at the Battle Phase, and Tenpai Dragon Paidra and Sangen Kaimen search the next starter. Recovery depends on the copy counts the list does not legally support.
• After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as built: Ash Blossom (3 of 2), Droll and Lock Bird (2 of 1), and two Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent) are over the OCG limits, so it gets a capped theoretical score of 30 and no normal contextual score. Structurally it has a reasonable starter density (P(at least one searcher in the opening 5) is about 0.86, Inferred) and a real hand-trap layer, which supports the consistency and interruption-resilience scores. Its weakness is that it is a loose pile of Dragon-type archetypes (only 30 of 70 off-archetype copies are on-theme, and the usage-stat core cards are absent), so engines conflict and about 25 of its 55 Main Deck slots are non-monsters with Level 0. It has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation. Popularity and archetype name did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from the system as built, which is also why it is capped.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: Theoretical only (Illegal). 0.80*46 + 0.20*40 = 44.8; modifiers -10 gives 34.8; capped at 30 for an Illegal list.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Starter density: 17 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a searcher in the opening hand.
• Hand-trap layer: 8 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Ghost Belle) cover the opponent's turn.
• Strong Extra Deck bosses at 3000 to 3500 ATK.

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: copy limits and two Forbidden cards.
• Engine conflict: several unrelated Dragon sub-archetypes.
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan.
• High share of Level 0 non-monster slots (25 of 55) reduces board presence.

Critical choke points

• Dragonmaid engine hinges on Dragonmaid searchers and Level 8 Dragonmaid recursion.
• The Extra Deck bosses need specific Dragon or Dragonmaid materials that the Main Deck only partly supplies.
• A single Ash Blossom or Droll (both over the limit) is the only hand-trap answer to a single interruption.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within the OCG size rules.; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 legal; Droll and Lock Bird 2 vs 1; Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden.; Side Deck is empty (side_count 0).; Dragonmaid Sheou ATK 3500 and Light and Darkness Dragonlord ATK 3400 from card data.
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) about 0.86 from the searcher_text group.; Engine conflict and redundancy judgments from card text and archetype spread.; Structural score and dimension estimates from text and composition.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no tournament link or dated metagame sample.; Post-side plan: no Side Deck exists to evaluate.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent. No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates. Usage-stat core cards (Vengeful Witch, Roxrose Dragon, Black Rose Garden) are all absent from the list. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
