Tenpai Dragon Deck #763520 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• 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: Synchro and Link boss monsters (Trident Dragion family and Sangen/Tenpai Synchro bodies, plus Promethean Princess and Worldsea Dragon Zealantis as Link pressure), theoretical only because the list is illegal; Tenpai Dragon Paidra and Fadra beatdown with Mulcharmy card-advantage pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Paidra or Genroku, search a Sangen via Sangen Summoning or Sangen Kaimen, then convert into a Synchro boss while holding Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre for interaction (structural read, not verified against real boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Red Reboot) against the opponent's first Summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw engines and Tenpai Dragon Genroku recursion through the Graveyard, with Pot of Prosperity as a banish-for-cards refill (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be scored; dimension D12 is capped accordingly

Why it scores here

The list reliably contains enough hand traps and negations (12 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards) to make its interaction layer the strongest part of the system, which is why D7 is the highest dimension. The Tenpai Dragon and Sangen starter package is redundant enough that the archetype core is at least one copy in an opening hand about 87% of the time (Inferred, from the hypergeometric table), but the single-copy Paidra and Fadra lines are much thinner. Combo conversion and median output could not be measured because no boards were recorded, so D3 and D4 are semantic reads only (Inferred). Scoring stays structural: popularity and archetype usage confirm the list is real but did not add points, and card scores were not averaged. The deck is Illegal because Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden in OCG, so the score is capped and should be treated as theoretical only; with that card removed and a Side Deck added, the structural read would be re-evaluated.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 85 : Stun 15 (structural weighting). Structural ≈ 51.3, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(51.3) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.0; then ContextModifiers -12 (Illegal list cap applied); final 37; 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation layer (12 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards)
• Multiple starter routes into Synchro and Link bosses
• Mulcharmy draw engine gives card advantage

Weaknesses

• Illegal in its format because of Baronne de Fleur
• No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured
• Low archetype purity (10%) and many generic slots dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Paidra and Fadra starters have low opening-hand odds (about 0.25 each)
• Extra Deck banish costs from Pot of Prosperity and the Synchro boss lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules; Baronne de Fleur Forbidden (legal copies 0, run 1) makes the list Illegal; All other Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within limits; Archetype core usage stats: 16 core cards, 12 present
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (hypergeometric); Hand-trap and negation interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second structural reads; Brick and dead-card risk estimate
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13); Post-side plan (no Side Deck)
• 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 Side Deck registered no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
