Armed Dragon Deck #759999 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Fusion Dragon boards (Borrelend, Borrelshroud, Borrelsword, Borreload Furious) closing through 3500 ATK and multi-attack effects; Rokket and Borrel recursion supplies the material.; Bystial Dis Pater and Bystial Magnamhut/Druiswurm to banish and reanimate Dragons from either GY.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Rokket Loader or Quick Launch / Armed Dragon Flash into a Rokket Link line, then a second Link Summon from the Extra Deck, with Ash Blossom and Droll held as interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Nibiru as hand traps to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild the board through Absorouter and Rokket Tracer.
• Recovery: Rokket Recharger and Borrel Regenerator recycle destroyed Rokket monsters, and Absorouter Dragon recovers a Rokket from the Deck to hand.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal: three Ash Blossom and two Droll & Lock Bird exceed their copy limits, and Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden in OCG, so the score is capped and labelled structural-only. Within that cap, the deck has real interaction density (12 negation-text cards, 11 hand traps, 23 removal-text cards), which lifts interaction and going-second scores. Consistency is weak: only 3 of 60 main cards are the exact Armed Dragon name (4% purity), the Rokket core is 21 copies spread across generic links, and the chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.23 per 3-copy card. No combos were supplied, so the ceiling and median come from text-only reads and the Extra Deck link lines rather than recorded boards. The score reflects consistency and interaction on the list as a system, not the popularity of the Armed Dragon name and not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary Midrange with Stun as secondary (about 80/20 for the reported dimensions). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); Engine conflicts and brick risk (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*47 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 32.6, capped at 30 because legality is Illegal (structural-only score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · 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 interaction: 11 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards cover the opponent's first summon and second activation
• Several 3000-3500 ATK Link and Fusion finishers with multi-attack or negate-and-destroy text
• Extra Deck coverage across Link, Fusion and Synchro routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy limits and Forbidden cards must be fixed before any rating can be trusted
• Low exact-archetype purity (4%) and 72 off-archetype copies make the starter engine inconsistent
• Starter probabilities are low (about 0.23 per 3-copy card in hand 5)
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Rokket Loader and Quick Launch are the only T1 access into the Rokket Link line
• Ash Blossom and Droll are the only hand-trap answers to the opponent's first summon, and both are over limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with four violations (copy limits and Forbidden cards); Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Card text and banlist status for listed cards
• Inferred: Starter consistency from the hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from text roles; Ceiling and median from card text, since no combos were supplied
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated metagame); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Empty side deck: post-side evaluation is not possible
