Dragonmaid Deck #761223 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Dragon-type boss monsters (House Dragonmaid, Lady's Dragonmaid, Dragonmaid Sheou, Light and Darkness Dragonlord) from the Extra Deck, enabled by Fusion spells and Dragonmaid monsters.; Link and Dragon beaters (Striker Dragon, S:P Little Knight, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Dragonmaid Tinkhec) as follow-up pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dragonmaid searcher or Kitchen Dragonmaid, search a Dragonmaid Spell/Trap, and fuse a Dragonmaid boss through Instant Fusion, Super Polymerization or Metamorphosis. Hand traps are held back for the opponent's first answer.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to pass a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Belle) against the opponent's first starter, then rebuild with Dragonmaid searchers and a fusion boss.
• Recovery: Dragonmaid Changeover and Dragonmaid Tidying recur from the GY, and Chamber Dragonmaid and Parlor Dragonmaid can return themselves to the hand for the Battle Phase Special Summon.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Dragonmaid searcher or Kitchen Dragonmaid about half the time in the opening five (archetype-core group P ≈ 0.45; searcher group P ≈ 0.69), which gives the engine a usable starting point but leaves a sizable brick risk. Its strongest structural signal is interaction density: 10 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards and 15 removal-text cards give it layered answers for the opponent's first turn, and Dragonmaid recursion covers part of the interruption-recovery gap. Extra Deck breadth (13 Fusion, 2 Link) and several Fusion enablers let it reach its 2500–3500 ATK bosses. The score does not come from Dragonmaid being a popular archetype and was not produced by averaging card scores. Only 30% of its copies are exact-name Dragonmaid cards and 49 copies are off-archetype, so the engine is less coherent than its Dragon theme implies. The list is also illegal (Chamber Dragonmaid at 4 copies vs a limit of 3), so the Final score is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary is not blended, the Midrange profile is used as is. Structural ≈ 49.6, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Engine conflicts / archetype purity (-4); Banlist exposure (-2); Illegal status cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*Structural(49.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 47.7, then modifiers −6 → 41.7; Illegal-status cap applied → 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.45 · 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

• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps, 14 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards across a broad set of answers
• Strong Extra Deck closers: 2700–3500 ATK Fusion bosses with multiple Fusion enablers
• Dragonmaid recursion (Chamber, Parlor, Changeover, Tidying) gives some route redundancy after disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Chamber Dragonmaid at 4 copies exceeds the OCG limit of 3
• Low engine coherence: 30% exact-name purity with 49 off-archetype copies
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• No combos, guides or tournament data, so floor, median and meta cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Dragonmaid core starters (6 copies) are live in only about 45% of opening five-card hands
• Fusion-boss conversion depends on a small set of Fusion enablers (Instant Fusion, Super Polymerization, Metamorphosis, Dragonmaid Changeover)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main/Extra size is within the OCG rules (55 main within 40–60, 15 extra within 0–15); Chamber Dragonmaid is over the copy limit (4 run, 3 legal); Banlist statuses: 19 Limited and 2 Semi-Limited cards, all run at legal counts except the over-limit card; Usage statistics: 3 of 25 archetype core cards are present in the deck
• Inferred: Engine accessibility P(≥1 core starter in 5) ≈ 0.45; Interaction density is high from text (10 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards); Fusion-boss closing power from stats and text; Brick risk is moderate-to-high from 49 off-archetype copies
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup fit (D13) is provisional without tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No Side Deck: post-side plan is not evaluable No guides for the archetype (total_guides 0) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
