Rose Dragon Deck #758782 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boards built from Rose Dragon and Plant Tuner/Synchro monsters, such as Black Rose Dragon (2400 ATK) and Ruddy Rose Dragon (3200 ATK), per card text; no recorded boards to confirm; Recursion of Rose Dragon monsters from GY and banish zones via Garden Rose Maiden, Roxrose Dragon and Basal Rose Shoot, per card text (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Plant or Rose Dragon starter (Red Rose Dragon, Rose Girl, Roxrose Dragon, Rose Princess, Vengeful Witch) and reach a Synchro Summon from the 15-card Extra Deck (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 8 hand-trap and negation effects (Droll & Lock Bird, Artifact Lancea, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Ghost Mourner & Moonlit Chill, Sneaky "C") to stop the opposing board, then rebuild through Synchro (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through GY-triggered summons: Rose Girl, Spore, Revival Rose, Cyclos and Red Rose Dragon (Inferred from text)
• After siding: None: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

This list is illegal as submitted: it runs 2 copies of Droll & Lock Bird, which is Limited in OCG, so it receives a capped, structural-only score rather than a normal Final score. The structural read comes from the system rather than from card scores: a 56-card Main Deck with 18 searcher-text cards and 8 hand traps gives reasonable access to a starter and some going-second interaction. Consistency is held back by the exact-name archetype purity of 29.6%, with 50 of 71 Main Deck copies outside the exact Rose Dragon name, which splits the engine across Rose, Artifact and "C" support. The deck records no combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and there is no side deck and no tournament or meta data. Archetype popularity (core cards at 56% usage) confirms the list is real and accessible; it did not add points to the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 52.8, plus banlist modifier -12 = 40.8, capped at 25 for an illegal list (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Dense searcher-text coverage (18 cards) for consistent access to a Synchro starter
• Layered hand-trap and negation effects (8 hand-trap-text, 8 negation-text) for going-second interaction
• Extra Deck (15 Synchro) with several high-ATK closers and recursion routes
• Core archetype cards at 56% usage (Vengeful Witch, Roxrose Dragon, Black Rose Garden) confirm a real, accessible list

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Droll & Lock Bird run at 2 copies in OCG (limit 1)
• Low exact-name archetype purity (29.6%); engine split across Rose, Artifact and "C" support
• No Side Deck: no post-side plan and no adaptation
• No recorded combos, so consistency and conversion are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Droll & Lock Bird violation must be corrected before the list is legal
• The Synchro starter pool in hand, since no monster is a guaranteed starter (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 2 copies of Droll & Lock Bird vs OCG Limited limit 1; Main 56 and Extra 15 are inside size rules; Side 0; Archetype purity exact 29.6%; 50 off-archetype copies; Core card usage 56% for Vengeful Witch, Roxrose Dragon and Black Rose Garden; No tournament link and no guides; no recorded combos
• Inferred: Starter access from searcher-text probability (0.87) and archetype core probability (0.55); Hand-trap coverage from text roles (8 cards, 0.62 going second); Synchro closing power from ATK values and text; Recovery routes from GY-trigger text
• Provisional: Median output and matchup fit (no combos, no dated meta); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going first/second, matchup, brick, starter, OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck submitted; no post-side evidence Deck title is null
