Dragonmaid Deck #760358 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dragon Ruler boss monsters (Chasma, Eclipse, Disaster) and Dragonmaid Sheou / Lady's Dragonmaid pressure, once the Dragon Ruler and Dragonmaid chain resolves; Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon / Filia Regis / Borrelsword Dragon as Extra Deck follow-up and negation
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Kitchen or Chamber Dragonmaid to trigger searches, then chain Dragon Ruler monsters from hand or Deck (Stream/Burner/Reactan style) into their Level 7 or 8 finishers; Amorphage Pendulum lines add disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Dragonmaid Hospitality or Parlor/Laundry Dragonmaid recursion to rebuild a starter from the GY, then go to Extra Deck boss monsters; no hand traps are present to answer the opponent's board
• Recovery: Dragonmaid recursion through the GY (Changeover, Hospitality, Chamber/Parlor/Kitchen return-to-hand triggers) and Dragon Ruler GY-recursion text to rebuild a starter
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: it runs 4 Chamber Dragonmaid against a limit of 3, three Forbidden cards (Amorphage Sloth, Amorphage Goliath, Saryuja Skull Dread), and 17 Extra Deck cards against a limit of 15, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read and not a normal legal rating. Searcher density is high (23 searcher-text cards; P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) ≈ 0.95), and the archetype core is reasonably reachable (P ≈ 0.80 for at least one archetype core card), which supports consistency on paper. Scoring is held back by weak archetype purity (27% exact-name Dragonmaid copies, with 51 off-archetype copies across Amorphage, Dragon Ruler, Hieratic and generic cards), which makes hands fragile and suggests a bricking risk. The deck has no hand traps, no floodgates and no side deck, so interaction and going-second resilience are low, and there are no recorded boards to measure combo floor or ceiling. Popularity of the Dragonmaid archetype confirms the list is familiar but does not raise the score, and card scores were not averaged into the deck result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (Fusion/Xyz/Link density), about 80/20 by judgement. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Size and copy-limit violations (-3). Final formula: Theoretical only (illegal list): 0.80*Structural(44.07) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.26, then context modifiers -9 = 33 (Meta provisional; no legal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 and recursion text (23 searcher-text cards) gives high starter access on paper
• Strong Dragon Ruler and Dragonmaid finishers (Chasma 3000, Sheou 3500) give real closing power
• Archetype core is reachable at about 80% in an opening 5

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit, Forbidden-card, and Extra Deck size violations
• Weak archetype purity (27%) with many off-archetype copies, raising brick risk
• No hand traps, floodgates or side deck
• No combo boards, so floor and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Amorphage/Saryuja cards and the 4th Chamber Dragonmaid must be removed before the list is legal
• Dragon Ruler starter chain depends on a single Level 7 Dragon Ruler trigger from hand or Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (4 violations, Extra Deck 17 > 15); Banlist: Amorphage Sloth, Amorphage Goliath, Saryuja Skull Dread Forbidden; Striker Dragon Limited; Composition: 53 Main, 17 Extra, 0 Side; archetype purity 27.1%; Searcher-text count 23; removal-text count 28
• Observed: Usage stats: 14 archetype stat rows; 7 of 13 core cards present (53.8%)
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.95; archetype core ≈ 0.80; Brick risk elevated by 51 off-archetype copies; Interaction quality read from card text (negation/removal)
• Provisional: Meta Power null; matchup fit and tournament reliability unmeasured
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck exported, so post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated
