Dragon Link Deck #760124 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon DARK Dragon Link monsters (Borrelend, Borrelsword, Borrelshroud, Trisborrel) that chain Rokket and Borrel recursion for board control and large attackers; Mitsurugi ritual boards (Ame no Murakumo, Futsu no Mitama) that destroy or negate the opponent's board; Forbidden cards would have added a third line but cannot be legally run
• Turn 1 (going first): Rokket starter (Quick Launch, Rokket Tracer, Rokket Caliber, Boot Sector Launch) into Absorouter or Rokket Loader searches, then a Link Summon through the Dragon link network
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand traps to stop the opponent's combo, then rebuild through Rokket recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon and Borrel Regenerator return Rokket monsters from the GY; Mitsurugi searchers rebuild the ritual line
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Rokket engine: the archetype core (26 copies) has an estimated 96.6% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the searcher text group reaches about 83%. Interaction is dense, with 13 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards, which supports a steady going-second plan. Conversion is the weak point: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and the deck has no combo evidence to confirm that its Link routes reach their stated output. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is accessible but did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. The Illegal status (a Forbidden card, which cannot be run, plus five copy-limit violations) keeps the final score capped and makes this a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 51.4, then modifiers (-12 banlist exposure) = 39.4, then capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Core Rokket starters are triplicated, so the opening-hand chance of a live engine is high
• Dense hand-trap and negation text covers common going-second interruptions
• Extra Deck holds several high-ATK Link boss monsters with negation and removal text

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: a Forbidden card and five copy-limit violations
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unverified
• Empty side deck gives no post-side plan
• Three Mitsurugi and Rokket sub-engines compete for the same hand and resource slots

Critical choke points

• Link Summon route depends on a Rokket or DARK Dragon monster being on the field to link into
• Hand-trap density is effective only if the opponent cannot play around it; no alternative line is verified
• Forbidden cards cannot be legally run, so the deck must be rebuilt before any normal score applies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Illegal due to Forbidden cards and copy-limit violations; Archetype spread: Rokket 17, Mitsurugi 13, Borrel 8, Mulcharmy 6; Hypergeometric opener odds from the evidence probabilities block
• Observed: Usage stats: Quick Launch, Rokket Loader, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Rokket Tracer are core cards included in this deck
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from the starter probability groups; Going-second hand-trap coverage from the 6-card hand estimate; Link route and recursion reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament context
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup results are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty (0 cards) Data inconsistency: missing_core lists Borrelend Dragon (98630720), Borrelshroud Dragon (66452432) and Trisborrel Dragon (3957130) as absent, yet the cards list places them in the Extra Deck with copies 1, and usage_statistics marks Borrelend in_this_deck false.
