Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tenpai Dragon / Sangen FIRE Dragon engine converting into Synchro and Link beats (Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion, Trident Dragion, Snake-Eye Doomed Dragon, Promethean Princess); Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the White Phantom Beast as a board wipe and 3000-ATK closer (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Sangen Summoning or Sangen Kaimen plus a Tenpai Dragon Paidra/Genroku searcher, add a second Tenpai monster, then Synchro or Link toward Dragion (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild Tenpai/Sangen through the surviving starter (Inferred)
• Recovery: Tenpai Dragon Genroku and Fadra self-revive from the GY, Mulcharmy draw effects and Sangen searches refill the hand (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: 0 side cards, so no post-side plan exists (Verified from legality)

Why it scores here

The deck's structural read is middling: the Tenpai Dragon core (Sangen Summoning, Sangen Kaimen, Paidra x3, Genroku x2, Fadra, Chundra) has a 0.92 hypergeometric chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, so the engine usually comes online by turn 2 (Inferred). Ten hand traps and two Ash Blossom copies give real interruption resilience, and the hand-trap group reaches 0.85 odds of at least one going second (Inferred). The main weakness is composition: only 7 of 40 main cards carry the exact 'Tenpai Dragon' name (12.7% purity), and six Mulcharmy plus Sangen off-plan cards, Hey Space Trunade and Fydraulis Harmonia dilute the engine. Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed has no Red-Eyes Black Dragon in the list and Super Starslayer TY-PHON has no second Level 12 monster, so at least two Extra slots look dead (Inferred from card text). The deck is Illegal because of one Forbidden Baronne de Fleur, so the score is capped at 30 as a structural-only read; no popularity or meta share was used, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); dead_extra_slots (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-10) = about 41; reported as 30 because the deck is Illegal (structural-only). Meta Power null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Archetype core of 15 copies gives a 0.92 chance of a starter in the opening five (Inferred)
• Ten hand traps plus Effect Veiler and Ash Blossom give strong going-second interaction (Inferred)
• Multiple GY recursion routes (Genroku, Fadra, Chundra) support resilience (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden and the deck runs one copy (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Low archetype purity, 12.7% exact name (Verified)
• Two Extra Deck cards look dead without their materials (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Sangen Summoning / Sangen Kaimen as the main searchers into the Tenpai engine
• Single-copy Tenpai Dragon Chundra as the Synchro gateway
• Any opponent hand-trap or negate on the first summon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck is 40 cards and Extra Deck is 15, both legal sizes; Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden in OCG and the deck runs 1 copy; Every other restricted card is within its legal copy limit; No side deck; exact-name purity 12.7%; Archetype usage shows Tenpai Dragon Chundra, Sangen Summoning and Sangen Kaimen as core cards at about 95-98% inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and hand-trap odds (hypergeometric); Red-Eyes Exceed and TY-PHON material gaps from card text; Blue-Eyes board-wipe and Tenpai recursion read; Interaction density and resilience ratings from role tags and text
• Provisional: Median output and format fit (no combos, no tournament link, no dated meta); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate or brick-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the cards list: Trident Dragion, Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion, Sangenpai Bident Dragion and Promethean Princess are listed in cards[] (Extra zone) but flagged in_this_deck:false, so the usage-based core read may be unreliable No side deck, so no post-side evaluation
