Dragon Ruler Deck #760357 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 7 Dragon Ruler beatdown (Tempest, Blaster, Eclipse, Chasma, Disaster) and Dragonmaid/Odd-Eyes Fusion boards with 2500-3500 ATK bodies; Amorphage pendulum lock and recursion pressure, with Dragonmaid Lorpar, Tinkhec and Nudyarl as late-game bodies
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 2 or 3 Dragon Ruler starter (Spectral, Stream, Burner, Reactan, Lightning) to special a Level 7 Dragon Ruler, then extend into the Extra Deck boss; the Amorphage pendulums are secondary and depend on the Amorphage core
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-based revival via Tidal, Blaster, Tempest and Redox from hand or GY, using Dragonmaid recursion to reach a Fusion Summon; no hand traps or side deck to answer an established board
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Spectral and Dragonmaid Changeover recursion and the Dragon Ruler banish-from-GY special-summon effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often: the Level 2 and 3 Dragon Ruler starters give about a 26 percent chance of at least one given 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand, and 23 searcher-text cards give about a 95 percent chance of at least one searcher in hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Conversion is credible on paper, since each starter specials a Level 7 Dragon Ruler and the Extra Deck supplies 3000-ATK bosses, but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. The deck does not reach its plan reliably: 53 Main Deck cards spread across Dragonmaid, Amorphage, Dragon Ruler and generic cards (exact archetype purity 11.4 percent), so the engines compete for slots. Three Forbidden cards and a 4th Chamber Dragonmaid make the list illegal, and the empty Side Deck leaves no post-side plan. The score comes from consistency, the Dragon Ruler chain and endboard quality on the system, not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity; the legality failure caps the final score at 35.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Midrange secondary, weights taken from the Combo profile. Structural ≈ 51.2, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); No side deck (-2); Legality cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: Final = min(0.80*51.2 + 0.20*40 + modifiers(-8), legality cap 35) = min(41, 35) = 35 (illegal list, theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 Level 2/3 to Level 7 Dragon Ruler special-summon chains
• Broad removal and searcher text (28 and 23 cards)
• High-ATK bosses (Sheou 3500, Filia Regis 3000, Disaster, Chasma) and multi-attack Borrelsword

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and four Chamber Dragonmaid
• Extra Deck of 17 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Three archetypes with 11.4 percent exact archetype purity

Critical choke points

• Three Forbidden cards are dead in OCG, so the Amorphage pendulum line cannot run as built
• The Level 2/3 starter count is small (5 distinct cards across 2 to 3 copies each), so an opening hand without a starter stalls
• Without a Side Deck, any hand-trap or floodgate plan from the opponent cannot be answered after game 1

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality failures: Amorphage Sloth, Amorphage Goliath and Saryuja Skull Dread are Forbidden in OCG and Chamber Dragonmaid is over the copy limit (x4 vs 3); Extra Deck count is 17 against an OCG maximum of 15; Side Deck count is 0; Card stats and text for Dragon Ruler, Dragonmaid, Amorphage and Odd-Eyes cards; Usage statistics: Tempest, Spectral, Blaster and Reactan are core cards in this archetype
• Observed: Archetype composition: 53 Main, 27 distinct names, 11.4 percent exact archetype purity
• Inferred: P(>=1 starter in opening 5) ~0.26 and archetype core P ~0.70 (hypergeometric); Going-first and going-second plans and the consistency read from card text; Negation and removal semantics from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13), no dated metagame sample; Tournament Reliability, no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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 for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck supplied, so post-side (D12) is unscored by data
