Dominus Deck #762562 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Dancer boss monsters (Liger Dancer 3800 ATK, Leo Dancer 3500 ATK, Sabre Dancer 3000 ATK) through Lunalight Fusion / Heavy Polymerization / Polymerization, with Lunalight searchers feeding the materials.; Nibiru, the Primal Being and PSY-Frame Driver (2500 ATK) as single-card boards once the opponent's hand is disrupted.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Lunalight searcher (Gold Leo, Masquerade, Kaleido Chick, Scarlet Tiger) or Fire Formation - Tenki, search a Polymerization effect, and fuse a Dancer by T2; the ~25% chance per copy of a specific starter in a 5-card hand (Inferred) means T1 is often a single-card line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, or PSY-Framegear Gamma on the opponent's first meaningful activation, then rebuild a Fusion board from the GY through Lunalight Perfume Dancer and Lunalight Silver Hound recursion.
• Recovery: Lunalight Yellow Marten, Lunalight Emerald Bird and Luna Light Perfume return monsters from GY/banish to hand or field, so a disrupted board can usually be rebuilt for a second Fusion attempt if the Polymerization copy is still live.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The list is structurally a Lunalight Fusion engine, not a Dominus deck: exact 'Dominus' name purity is 4.3% and Lunalight accounts for 31 of the main-deck archetype copies, so the score is read against the Lunalight system. Starter access is moderate: P(at least one of a given 3-copy starter in a 5-card opener) is about 0.25, while P(at least one searcher-text card in the opener) is about 0.87 (Inferred), and 18 searcher-text cards keep the engine from stalling on a single brick. Conversion to pressure is credible on paper (Liger Dancer 3800 ATK, Leo Dancer 3500 ATK, Sabre Dancer 3000 ATK) but no recorded boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling are all Inferred and the median is held well below the ceiling. Interaction is the strongest part of the system (Ash Blossom, Droll, Gamma, Nibiru, Impulse), yet the list is illegal as built: 3 Ash, 3 Impulse, 2 Droll, plus 5 Forbidden cards, so it cannot be played in TCG without changes and is capped at a structural-only score. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's usage core is only 36% present (8 of 22 core cards), and the scores were set from the system's consistency, interaction and Fusion conversion rather than from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo 100% (Midrange secondary not blended into weights). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); engine_conflicts (-4); illegal_list_cap (-8). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55.1) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 52.1; modifiers -14 gives 38.1; Illegal legality cap applied, final 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• Lunalight searcher density gives a high chance of a live engine starter in the opening hand
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, PSY-Framegear Gamma and Nibiru cover multiple disruption windows
• Fusion boss ceiling (Liger Dancer 3800 ATK) and recursion (Yellow Marten, Silver Hound, Perfume Dancer)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: copy limits exceeded for Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse and Droll & Lock Bird
• Five Forbidden cards in the list, including three Extra Deck cards
• No Side Deck, so no adaptability across best-of-3
• Archetype label 'Dominus' does not describe the list (4.3% exact purity)
• Off-plan archetype support (Mulcharmy, Fire Formation, PSY-Frame) dilutes the Fusion engine

Critical choke points

• Polymerization effects: only Polymerization x1, Heavy Polymerization x3 and Lunalight Fusion x1 fuel the Fusion plan
• Single copies of Lunalight Fusion and Polymerization make the Fusion route fragile to one interruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules (40-60 / 0-15); Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Droll & Lock Bird; Forbidden status for Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Cross-Sheep, Dugares, Bagooska; Card texts for Lunalight Fusion, Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Ash Blossom; Archetype purity 4.3% and 22-card core usage at 36.4% present
• Inferred: Consistency: P(>=1 searcher in 5 cards) ~0.87 and 3-copy starter ~0.25; Interaction quality from hand-trap and negation text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Median and ceiling reads from text only, since no combo boards exist
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated sample or tournament link); Tournament reliability
• 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 exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null and no Side Deck is present Deck is labelled Dominus but is primarily a Lunalight list; archetype label may be wrong
