D/D/D Deck #764086 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-enabled Extra Deck boards: D/D/D/D Dimensional King Arc Crisis, D/D/D Duo-Dawn King Kali Yuga, D/D/D Super Doom King Dark Armageddon and D/D/D Deviser King Deus Machinex (Inferred from card text); Xyz/Link/Synchro boards built from D/D monsters and Dark Contract recursion (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Summon D/D Savant / Machinex lines into an Extra Deck Xyz or Fusion, backed by Droll and Ash Blossom for interaction (Inferred; no combos in evidence)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, D.D. Crow) to disrupt the opponent's summon, then rebuild a board from Dark Contract recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Dark Contract recursion, D/D Necro Slime Fusion from the GY, and D/D Orthros / Savant Copernicus searches (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck has no Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (verified)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is reasonably accessible: the 3-copy Pendulum starters and Dark Contract searches give a usable opening, and the 22-card archetype core is present in 93% of hands by a hypergeometric proxy (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with eight hand traps, 22 negation-text cards and 33 removal-text cards, which supports the going-second and interruption scores. Closing power is high on paper because the Extra Deck holds several 3000–4000 ATK boards, but there are no recorded boards to confirm a median output, so the floor and median are scored low. The deck is capped as Illegal: a Forbidden Extra Deck card and 16 Extra Deck cards (limit 15). Popularity did not earn points; the 63% usage rate for the core Extra Deck cards confirms the list is real, not that it is strong.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary noted but not blended in weights. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden card in Extra Deck) (-8); Extra Deck over size limit (-4). Final formula: Theoretical/structural-only (Illegal cap): 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*40 - 12 ≈ 38; Meta provisional/null

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense interaction: 8 hand traps plus negation and removal text on most staples (Inferred)
• Strong Extra Deck closing boards at 3000–4000 ATK (Inferred)
• Three-copy Pendulum starters and Dark Contract recursion give a stable engine core (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Forbidden card present and Extra Deck over the 15-card limit (verified)
• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan (verified)
• No recorded combos, so floor and median output are unknown (verified gap)
• Many singleton tech slots dilute the engine (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale state: both Pendulum zones must hold the correct D/D scales for the engine to start (Inferred)
• Extra Deck legality: one Forbidden card and one surplus Extra Deck card must be removed before the list can be used (verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Forbidden card present (D/D/D Wave High King Caesar, 1 copy); Legality: Extra Deck 16 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Banlist statuses: Crossout Designator, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment Limited; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse Semi-Limited, both within limit; Zero Side Deck cards; Card text: Pendulum, Dark Contract and hand-trap effects from the excerpts
• Observed: Core archetype usage stats: 12 of 22 core cards present (54.5%)
• Inferred: Starter probability and brick estimates (hypergeometric proxy); Engine accessibility and interaction read from card text; Going-first and going-second scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• 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 and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Illegal list: no normal Final Contextual score; figure above is a capped theoretical/structural read
