• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Special Summon Drytron 2000-ATK bodies through Ritual/Drytron tributes, then close with 2400-3000 ATK Link/Xyz/Ritual monsters (Inferred from text); Borreload Riot Dragon (3000 ATK) and Evigishki/Paladin ritual bodies once a Ritual Summon line lands (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Nova or Fafnir search/summon a Drytron, then a second Drytron or Ritual monster is tributed to Special Summon Altais/Zeta, building board toward an Extra Deck boss (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Torrential Tribute, Mystical Space Typhoon and Borreload's summon-negate effect to clear the opponent's first summon, then rebuild with Drytron bodies (Inferred)
• Recovery: Drytron Fafnir and Nikitama/Aratama-style Spirit searches refill the hand; Borreload and the GY-based Ritual effects recur from the Graveyard (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: no Side Deck is run (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be verified

Why it scores here

The score comes from how this 40-card Drytron list works as one system: its Nova and Fafnir cards give a starter in most hands (P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand) = 0.90, Inferred), and the Drytron tribute chain then turns a single summon into a board. Interaction is real but thin, with 3 Mystical Space Typhoon, 3 Torrential Tribute and the Borreload summon-negate, which carries the going-second case; the Eraser and Malevolent Sin add board-breaking on top. Closing power is the strongest axis, since the Extra Deck runs several 2300-3000 ATK link and Xyz bosses. The main limits are a thin Ritual-monster supply (5 ritual monsters and 3 ritual spells feed Altais, Zeta and Gamma), no hand traps, and no combo data, so floor and median output stay near the middle. Archetype popularity and the guide mentions did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: thin ritual-monster supply (-2); no hand traps or floodgates (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*59.7 + 0.20*55 - 3 = 55.8, rounded to 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Strong closing stats across Drytron, Borreload, Hraesvelgr and Triple Burst bodies
• Layered end-board interaction: 3 MST, 3 Torrential Tribute, Triple Burst negation, Malevolent Sin banish
• Compact copy-heavy main with a 9-card triple-copy core

Weaknesses

• Ritual-monster supply is thin for the Altais/Zeta/Gamma summons
• No hand traps or floodgates to defend a going-second combo
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation is measurable

Critical choke points

• Having a Ritual monster or Drytron to tribute for Altais/Zeta/Gamma in hand or field
• Nova's End Phase destruction means its summoned body is a one-turn resource
