Dominus Deck #765680 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual or Link beatdown and boss plays from Mitsurugi Ritual Monsters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi 3200 ATK, Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi 2400 ATK) backed by Link and Xyz extra-deck threats; Fusion and Xyz end-boards (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, Ragnaraika Selene Snapper, W:P Fancy Ball)
• Turn 1 (going first): Mitsurugi searchers (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi, Mitsurugi Prayers) into Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Magatama to reach a Ritual boss, protected by Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) on the opponent's first summon, then Mitsurugi Ritual or Super Polymerization to rebuild a board
• Recovery: Reptile GY recursion through Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi and Mitsurugi Great Purification, plus Ragged Records of Rites and Pre-Preparation of Rites to refill hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is a Mitsurugi Ritual core with 21 searcher-text cards, so the P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) is about 0.92 (Inferred), which supports a reasonably live opening. Interaction is dense across hand traps, Dominus Impulse, Mitsurugi Great Purification, Lightning Storm and Called by the Grave, which lifts the end-board and resilience scores. Combo ceiling and floor are not measurable because the export contains no recorded boards, so both are text-only inferences. Popularity did not earn points: the Dominus archetype is barely present (3 exact-name copies, 4.3% purity) and 67 copies are off-archetype, so the Mitsurugi/Mulcharmy shell is what is actually being scored. The deck is Illegal: six cards exceed their copy limits and Bagooska is Forbidden, so the final score is capped at 35 and is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (structural weights from Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4); illegal-list cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53.8, plus modifiers -12 = 41.8, then capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 searcher density (21 searcher-text cards) gives a high probability of a live opening
• Layered interaction: hand traps, Dominus Impulse, Great Purification, Lightning Storm, Called by the Grave
• Ritual bosses with high ATK and Reptile GY recursion
• Two summon routes (Ritual and Link/Xyz) give some route redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: six copy-limit violations and one Forbidden card
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity: the Dominus name is nearly absent
• No combo data, so floor and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Ritual and the Reptile Ritual monsters are the single engine route
• The Forbidden Bagooska and the over-limit copies would have to be removed before the deck can be scored as normal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, six copy-limit violations and Bagooska Forbidden (banlist token); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; sizes are within the size rules; Usage stat: Mulcharmy Fuwalos at 100% inclusion; Called by the Grave at 90.6%
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5 cards) about 0.92; Archetype core P(at least one) about 0.83; Brick, interaction and engine-live estimates from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so no post-side evidence
