Dragonmaid Deck #761669 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Grind
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dragonmaid Fusion bosses (House Dragonmaid and Dragonmaid Sheou) backed by hand traps, recursion, and battle-phase tagging.; OTK with 3000+ ATK Dragon bodies after clearing the board with Droplet/Nibiru and removal effects.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Chamber Dragonmaid or Parlor Dragonmaid, search/send Dragonmaid Spell/Trap, Fusion Summon House Dragonmaid or Dragonmaid Sheou, and hold hand traps/Tidying for the opponent's turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Artifact Lancea, and Forbidden Droplet to slow or break the opponent's board, then enter the Dragonmaid Fusion line and close with large Dragon bodies.
• Recovery: Rebuild through House/Sheou Standby Phase revivals, Nurse Dragonmaid, Dragonmaid Tidying's GY effect, Dragonmaid Changeover's GY return, and Dragonmaid Cehrmba's discard revival.
• After siding: No Side Deck is present in this Duel Links list; adaptation is limited to the existing main-deck flex slots.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Dragonmaid starter only about 70% of the time (Chamber/Parlor, six copies), and its median line is a single Fusion boss plus hand-trap/backrow interaction rather than a large combo board. Its strongest qualities are the Dragonmaid grind game — House/Sheou Standby revivals, Tidying, Nurse, and Changeover's GY return — and a dense nine-card hand-trap package that makes going second interactive. The ceiling is real but modest: Sheou supplies one omni-negate, House/Tidying/Hieratic add removal, and 3000+ ATK bodies can close, but no recorded combo evidence supports a high ceiling. The list loses efficiency to nine one-of slots, an unsupported Crimson Gaia/Vision Resonator/Fiendish Golem package, and two Extra Deck Links whose search targets are absent. This score comes from the connected system's consistency, grind, interaction, and variance; it is not an average of card scores, and Dragonmaid's usage/popularity did not earn points. Meta Power remains provisional because no dated metagame sample exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Unsupported off-theme package (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.1 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Nine hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet give strong going-second interaction and disruption.
• Dragonmaid grind engine is resilient on paper: House/Sheou Standby revivals, Tidying, Nurse, and Changeover's GY return.
• Dragonmaid Sheou provides a one-card omni-negate and a 3500 ATK body; House Dragonmaid supplies 3000 ATK and removal.
• Chamber/Parlor form a compact six-copy starter core with search/send access to the Dragonmaid engine.
• Bystial Magnamhut adds Dragon search and GY interaction.

Weaknesses

• Only about 70% chance of opening Chamber/Parlor, and many one-of extenders are conditional.
• Crimson Gaia, Vision Resonator, and Fiendish Golem are unsupported and create dead draws.
• Extra Deck includes Striker Dragon with no Boot Sector Launch/Rokket target and a questionable Spright Sprind slot.
• No Side Deck limits post-match adaptation.
• No combo evidence exists; ceiling and consistency are inferred from card text and probabilities.
• The deck has a single Normal Summon choke point; negating Chamber/Parlor can stall the turn.

Critical choke points

• Normal Summon of Chamber Dragonmaid or Parlor Dragonmaid.
• Resolving Dragonmaid Changeover or Dragonmaid Hospitality to reach a Fusion boss.
• Dragonmaid Sheou's once-per-turn negate is the main end-board interruption.
• GY access for Nurse Dragonmaid, Dragonmaid Tidying, and Dragonmaid Changeover.
• Extra Deck space and dead Link slots.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal for Duel Links: Main 30/30, Extra 9/9, Side 0.; Bystial Magnamhut is Semi-Limited and the deck runs 2 legal copies.; Card texts confirm Chamber/Parlor search/send, Sheou negate, and House/Tidying/Nurse revival lines.; Usage statistics are available for the Dragonmaid archetype.
• Observed: combos_evidence contains 0 scored boards.; Probabilities are hypergeometric estimates from the resolved 30-card Main Deck.
• Inferred: Chamber/Parlor six-copy starter probability is about 70% in the opening five.; Median line is likely one Fusion boss plus hand-trap/backrow interaction, not a multi-negate combo board.; The Crimson Gaia/Vision Resonator/Fiendish Golem package is mostly unsupported because no Red Dragon Archfiend or Synchro payoff is present.; Dragonmaid grind is strong through Standby revivals and GY recursion, but the Normal Summon is a choke point.; No Side Deck limits post-match adaptation.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit are provisional; no dated metagame sample or tournament link is supplied.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference. No tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates). Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. usage_statistics conflict with the resolved card list on several Extra Deck cards (House/Lady's/Sheou/Filia/Khaos listed as missing despite being present); the card list was treated as source of truth. No Duel Links skill data supplied; skill effects were not evaluated.
