Predaplant Deck #767033 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Starving Venom or Predaplant boss monsters (Predapower 3600 ATK, Greedy Venom 3300 ATK, Wing Dragon 3300 ATK) and close through Predator Counter negation and removal.; Synchro and Fusion pressure through Bramble Rose Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Triphyoverutum.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio or Longinephila, search or recurse a Predap/Predaplant piece, then Polymerization into a Predaplant boss. Hand traps are held for the opponent's first interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's board, then rebuild with Predaplanning or Byblisp recursion and a Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Byblisp and Darlingtonia Cobra recursion from the GY, plus Predaplant Ambulomelides searching from the GY and Extra Deck.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Predap or Predaplant starter: the archetype core group has about a 97% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and the Polymerization package converts that into a Fusion boss. Its strongest asset is interaction, with roughly ten hand traps and several Quick Effect negations that give it real control over the opponent's first turn. Recursion through Byblisp, Predaplanning and Ambulomelides keeps the engine running after disruption. The score is not based on Predaplant's popularity or on averaging the card scores; it reflects how the system behaves. However, the list is illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are over their copy limit, and the Extra Deck has 17 cards against a maximum of 15. It also has no Side Deck and no combo or tournament data, so the score is theoretical and structural only, and confidence is Low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo as the secondary strategy label only. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (-6); Extra Deck over size (-3); No Side Deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*58 + 0.20*40 = 54.4, then context modifiers -11 = 43 (theoretical only, Illegal list)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 Predaplant engine with a high chance of an opening starter
• About 10 hand traps and several negations give strong early interaction
• Fusion and Synchro bosses at 3000 to 3600 ATK with Predator Counter negation
• Recursion through Byblisp and Darlingtonia Cobra supports resilience

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: copy-limit and Extra Deck size violations
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Many low-value Level 0 and tech cards reduce compactness
• Heavy dependence on hand traps and narrow timing

Critical choke points

• Polymerization access (Super Polymerization is over the copy limit; Super Duper and Fusion Substitute cover it)
• Hand-trap timing against the opponent's first interaction
• Extra Deck size reduction required before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: copy-limit violations and Extra Deck size exceed the OCG limits; Card text and ATK/DEF values for the key Predaplant and Starving Venom bosses; Copy histogram: 9 singletons, 3 pairs, 10 triples; Restricted-card banlist statuses for the Limited and Semi-Limited cards
• Observed: Usage statistics: Predaplant Longinephila, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Predaprimitive are archetype-core cards at 51 to 67 percent inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (0.97 core, 0.30 per 3-copy starter); Hand-trap density and going-second interaction estimate (0.80 for at least one in hand6); Interaction, resilience and closing ratings derived from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so there is no archetype meta-share or pilot match record No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck, so post-side scoring is unavailable
