Rokket Deck #759402 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Synchro/Fusion Borrel and Borrelend boards (Borrelend Dragon 3500 ATK, Borrelsword Dragon 3000 ATK) built off the Rokket Special Summon engine; Borreload Furious Dragon and Borreload Savage Dragon as follow-up bosses from the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Quick Launch, Boot Sector Launch or Rokket Tracer, Special Summon into Rokket Synchron or Rokket Caliber as a Tuner, then Link or Synchro into a Borrel boss while keeping Forbidden Droplet up for the opponent's response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ghost Belle, Droplet and the Bystial hand traps (Druiswurm, Magnamhut) in hand to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Loader searches
• Recovery: Use Rokket Tracer and Rokket Detonator to re-Special Summon from the GY, Quick Launch to put a Rokket monster on the field until the End Phase, and Pot of Avarice to recycle five GY monsters
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links is best-of-one with no Side Deck, so the post-side plan is N/A

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an engine through its three-copy starters (Quick Launch, Forbidden Droplet, Ghost Belle) and two-copy Rokket starters, with a hypergeometric chance of at least one three-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand of about 43% (Inferred). Its conversion ceiling comes from Borrel and Borreload Extra Deck bosses, but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling is a semantic read of card text and not a measured average. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: three Forbidden Droplets, three Ghost Belle hand-trap effects and the Bystial hand traps give layered responses (Inferred). Popularity and guide mentions did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: Engine coherence and choke points (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*62 + 0.20*57 - 2 ≈ 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

• Layered interaction with three Forbidden Droplets, three Ghost Belle and Bystial hand traps
• Strong Extra Deck closing power with Borrelend Dragon (3500 ATK) and Borrelsword Dragon (3000 ATK)
• Good recursion through Rokket Tracer, Detonator, Absorouter Dragon and Pot of Avarice
• Legal list with all restricted cards within copy limits (Silverrokket Dragon 1/1 Limited; Bystial Druiswurm and Magnamhut 1/2 Semi-Limited)

Weaknesses

• Boot Sector Launch at two copies is a known brick risk according to the guides
• Many single-copy engine pieces make the starter line fragile
• Off-archetype staples (Forbidden, Book of, Greed) reduce engine coherence
• Complex link and GY decision trees raise pilot error risk

Critical choke points

• Quick Launch and Boot Sector Launch are the main Special Summon starters; losing them to a single negate or hand trap stops the engine
• Rokket Synchron and Rokket Caliber are the single-copy Tuner gates into Synchro and Link lines
• Striker Dragon (two copies) is the low-link enabler for the Borrel Link chain

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 30 cards, Extra Deck 9 cards, Side Deck 0; legal for Duel Links main 20-30 and extra 0-9; Banlist: Silverrokket Dragon Limited (1 copy run, 1 legal); Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut Semi-Limited (1 copy run, 2 legal); Archetype exact-name purity 43.6% from the composition breakdown
• Observed: Usage statistics show 27 rows at 100% inclusion for the Rokket/Borrel core, with 17 of 25 core cards present by name
• Inferred: P(at least one three-copy starter in 5 cards) ≈ 0.43 from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density from 8 negation-tagged and 16 removal-tagged card texts; Going-first and going-second strength estimates from card text and resources
• Provisional: Meta power, matchup fit and post-side quality, since no dated metagame or tournament sample exists; Guide claim of tier 3 status is undated and not used in the score
• Data gaps: No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are text-based inference No tournament link and no archetype meta-share No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Usage statistics conflict with the card list: Trisborrel, Borrelsword, Borrelend, Borreload (x3), Dillingerous and Striker appear in the Extra Deck, yet usage rows mark several as in_this_deck false, so core_present_pct (68%) is unreliable Droll & Lock Bird is a 100% core usage card that is absent from this list Guide snippets are undated and unverified
