Rokket Deck #765144 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: duel-links

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Fusion/Synchro boss (Borrelend Dragon 3500 ATK, Borrelsword Dragon 3000 ATK with a second attack) reached through a Rokket Special Summon chain; Borreload Savage/Furious/Fatalflare Dragon from the Extra Deck once Rokket monsters are on the field
• Turn 1 (going first): Quick Launch or a Rokket searcher (Rokket Loader, Absorouter Dragon, Boot Sector Launch) to put a Rokket monster on the field, then Link Summon into a Borrel boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Droll & Lock Bird or Forbidden Droplet to disrupt the opponent's first play, then rebuild through Rokket Tracer and Rokket Recharger from the GY
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Loader return Rokket monsters from the Deck to hand; Rokket Recharger and Rokket Tracer re-summon from the GY
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck, so each duel is played with the same list

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan through several Rokket starters (Quick Launch x3, Rokket Loader x2, Rokket Tracer x2, Boot Sector Launch x2), but each 2-copy starter is only about 31% likely to appear in a 5-card opening hand, so consistency is moderate (Inferred). It converts into pressure through a full 9-card Extra Deck, with six Link monsters and strong Borrel bosses (Borrelend 3500 ATK, Borrelsword 3000 ATK), and it keeps interaction through Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet, and link-response removal such as Magnarokket Dragon and Autorokket Dragon. Nine main-deck copies are non-engine (Droll x3, Droplet x3, Book of Eclipse x3), which raises brick risk and lowers the median. No combos were recorded, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inference, and the score was not built from averaged card scores or from archetype popularity. Meta Power is provisional, and the score uses the meta-neutral structural formula.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange secondary (structural weights from the Combo profile, renormalised with D12 and D13 dropped as meta-neutral). Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: engine conflicts / archetype purity (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(56) + ContextModifiers(-2) = 58 (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

• Full Extra Deck with six Link monsters and strong Borrel bosses, so the deck has real closing power
• Three hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird) plus Forbidden Droplet give multi-layer interaction
• Several recursion pieces (Absorouter, Loader, Recharger, Tracer) keep the engine going after disruption
• Legal list with no banlist exposure beyond one Limited and two Semi-Limited single copies

Weaknesses

• Two-copy starters are about 31% likely in the opening five, so the deck relies on Quick Launch for consistency
• Nine non-engine main-deck copies (Droll, Droplet, Book of Eclipse) increase brick risk
• Exact-name archetype purity is 43.6%, with Borrel, Bystial, Book of and Forbidden mixed in
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Getting a Rokket monster onto the field on turn 1 (Quick Launch or Loader/Absorouter/Boot Sector) is the gate for the whole plan
• Link Summon materials for the Borrel bosses depend on Rokket Tracer, Synchron and Caliber being live

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size (30 main, 9 extra, 0 side) and copy limits, with Silverrokket Dragon (Limited, 1 copy), Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut (Semi-Limited, 1 copy each); Card text and stats for every listed card; Extra Deck composition: 6 Link, 2 Fusion, 1 Synchro; Archetype purity 43.6% and copy histogram
• Observed: Usage stats show the Rokket core at 72% presence in this list (archetype-level measurement, not win rate)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (hypergeometric); Brick risk from 9 non-engine copies; Engine ceiling and median from text only (no recorded boards); Pilotability from combo step count
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit; Guide claim of tier 3 status (guide text, undated)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits and matchup data are unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample usage_statistics marks the Extra-Deck Borrel and Dillingerous cards as in_this_deck=false although cards[] lists them in the Extra Deck, so core_present_pct (72%) is likely understated; the usage export may exclude the Extra Deck Duel Links has no Side Deck, so D12 is not applicable
