Drytron Deck #765747 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Drytron ritual-chain board presence backed by Ritual/Link/Xyz beaters (Borreload Riot Dragon 3000 ATK, Triple Burst Dragon, Hraesvelgr, Number 70) converting a stable T2 board into attacks; Negate-and-attack through Triple Burst Dragon, Pitknight Earlie and Borreload Riot Dragon effects, with Number 70 as a late-game beater
• Turn 1 (going first): Drytron Nova special-summons a Drytron monster from the Deck, Fafnir or the Zeta/Delta searches add the next Drytron, and the Drytron tribute-summon line builds a board of Link/Xyz materials
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Torrential Tribute, Mystical Space Typhoon and negate-capable Link monsters to break the opponent's board, then rebuild through Drytron recursion from the Graveyard
• Recovery: Drytron Zeta and Delta return from the Graveyard by tributing a Drytron or Ritual monster, and Nova re-summons from the Deck, so a single removal turn does not end the line
• After siding: No side deck in Master Duel; the deck's adaptability comes from the Main Deck's broad removal and negate text only

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Drytron engine: the 3-copy core (Nova, Zeta, Delta, Fafnir) gives about an 88% chance of at least one core card in the opening five, and the 14 searcher-text cards give about 90% of a search or recursion option (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from converting the Drytron board into Borreload Riot Dragon, Triple Burst Dragon and the Link/Xyz beaters, but the ritual enablers (Heavy Interlock, Luminous Dragon Ritual, Gishki Aquamirror) are single copies, so a hand that lacks its enabler bricks. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with negation text on five cards and removal text on sixteen, plus Torrential Tribute and Mystical Space Typhoon. No combo boards, tournament link, or win-rate data exist, so no popularity or meta-share points were awarded, and the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and resilience, not from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.5, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: single-copy ritual enablers (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*57.5 + 0.20*52 = 56.4, then -2 modifier = 54.4, rounded to 54

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Drytron engine copies at 3 each, so the starter is usually present on T1 or T2
• Layered interaction: Torrential Tribute, Mystical Space Typhoon, and several negate-capable Link monsters
• Multiple independent recursion and re-summon lines through the Graveyard and the Deck
• Strong attackers at the top end (Borreload Riot Dragon, Triple Burst Dragon, Number 70)

Weaknesses

• Single-copy ritual enablers make the ritual monsters brick-prone
• No hand traps and no floodgates, so going second relies on sorcery-speed removal
• Low exact-archetype purity (23.6%) dilutes the engine
• Pilot skill demands many sequencing decisions

Critical choke points

• The 1-copy Heavy Interlock gates Borreload Riot Dragon
• The 1-copy Luminous Dragon Ritual gates Paladin of Photon Dragon
• Drytron Nova is the main re-summon route, so losing it limits recovery

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in Master Duel with 40 Main, 15 Extra and 0 Side; Copy counts and the 13 exact-Drytron copies; Hypergeometric draw probabilities from the Main Deck; Usage statistics show Drytron core cards at 100% and 50% inclusion
• Inferred: Engine consistency estimate of about 0.88 for a core card in the opening five; Brick risk from single-copy ritual enablers; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Ceiling and median read from card text only; no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup and format fit (D13) is held neutral; Side adaptability (D12) is neutral because Master Duel has no side deck
• 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 (going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
