Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Dragonmaid Sheou (3500 ATK) or House Dragonmaid (3000 ATK), then convert the board with large Dragon bodies (Tinkhec, Lorpar, Nudyarl, Ernus) that resist card effects while a Fusion Monster is controlled.; Link and Xyz boards built from Fiendsmith, Bystial and off-archetype Link and Xyz monsters, plus Raigeki as a one-card board wipe.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Chamber, Nurse or Parlor Dragonmaid (each one searches or recurs another Dragonmaid), add Hospitality or Changeover, then Fusion Summon a Dragonmaid Fusion using Dragon materials for a 3000+ ATK monster.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom (2 copies) or Triple Tactics Talent to answer the first opposing line, then start the same Dragonmaid Fusion route; Raigeki and the Bystial banishers handle a board that survives.
• Recovery: Recover Dragonmaid monsters from the GY through Hospitality, Tidying (banish from GY for a Defense Position summon), Changeover (GY recursion) and Parlor/Chamber GY effects, then rebuild the Fusion route.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0 of 15), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust between games.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens through nine Dragonmaid starters (Chamber, Nurse and Parlor at three copies each, plus Hospitality), which gives an estimated 73% chance of at least one starter in a five-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Its conversion rests on the Dragonmaid Fusion route into Sheou and House, plus several 2500 to 2700 ATK Dragons that resist card effects once a Fusion Monster is out. Interaction comes from two Ash Blossom, Sheou's negate, and Bystial banishers, with Raigeki as a one-card wipe. Its weak points are a 48% exact-archetype purity, a deck spread across Fiendsmith, Bystial, Millennium, Branded and Link or Xyz fodder that dilutes the engine, and zero side deck slots. No combo boards were recorded, so the floor and median are text-only inferences. The score comes from consistency, median-to-ceiling output inferred from text, and interaction on the system; the popularity of the Dragonmaid archetype and an average of individual card scores did not contribute points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Off-archetype dilution and engine spread (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 59.15, TR 56, modifiers -5 gives 53.5, rounded to 54)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · 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

• Nine starters with GY recursion gives redundant openings and multiple routes after disruption.
• Strong Fusion payoffs (Sheou 3500 ATK, House 3000 ATK) and effect-resistant Dragon bodies provide closing power.
• Two Ash Blossom, Sheou's negate, Bystial banishers and Raigeki give layered interaction.
• Legal at 41 main and 15 extra with the one Limited card (Magnamhut) at its legal single copy.

Weaknesses

• Only 48.2% of copies are the exact archetype; roughly 29 copies are off-archetype, diluting the engine.
• No side deck, so no adaptation for best-of-3.
• No recorded combo boards, so the floor and median output cannot be verified.
• Going second, only two hand traps are available and the 6-card hand hits one at about 27%.

Critical choke points

• Fusion Summon of Sheou or House depends on Dragonmaid Changeover or Fusion materials surviving a Ash-blocked or negated first line.
• Two Ash Blossom are the only hand-trap interaction; a single card-effect answer to the Fusion route can stall the deck.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal with 41 main, 15 extra and 0 side, within size rules.; Limited card Bystial Magnamhut runs 1 copy, the legal maximum.; Exact-name purity 48.2%; 29 off-archetype copies.; Nine Chamber/Nurse/Parlor starters and 15 Extra Deck cards.
• Observed: Usage stats show Parlor Dragonmaid and Dragonmaid Lorpar in 100% of archetype lists, with Changeover and Chamber also in the core.
• Inferred: At least one starter in a 5-card opening hand is about 73% (hypergeometric).; Interaction quality (Ash x2, Sheou negate, Bystial banish, Raigeki) from card text.; Going-first and going-second plans and recovery routes from card text.
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link.; Median and floor output: no recorded combo boards.; Side-deck adaptability: no side cards to judge.
• 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) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered; side deck adaptability cannot be measured
