Predaplant Deck #767097 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Predaplant and Starving Venom dragons (3000 to 3600 ATK) through Polymerization-type spells, with Predator Counter and negation support.; Triphyoverutum and Greedy Venom boards that negate activations and summons while attacking.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Predaplant starter (Ophrys Scorpio, Longinephila, Bufolicula, Dracaena) whose Normal or Special Summon trigger searches a Predap card, then reach a Polymerization-type spell and Fusion Summon a Predaplant Fusion.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Sister, Droll and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's summon or search, then Fusion Summon through the cleared board.
• Recovery: Recur through GY effects: Byblisp can be Special Summoned from the GY while a Predator Counter monster is on the field, Longinephila can banish itself from the GY, and Darlingtonia Cobra can search a Polymerization-type spell.
• After siding: None. The deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (see D12).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens on its archetype core: 18 Predap-named copies give a 0.96 chance of at least one in a five-card opening hand, and 16 searcher-text cards give about 0.94 for a searcher, which carries the consistency score (Inferred). Its 15 Extra Deck slots are nearly all archetype-standard Predaplant and Starving Venom fusions, so the Extra Deck is efficient and coverage is good. Seven hand traps and six negation-text cards give it a credible way to survive disruption and to interact on the opponent's turn, which supports the interaction and resilience scores. The deck has no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are scored conservatively. The score reflects the consistency, redundancy and interaction of the system, not the archetype's popularity, and no card scores were averaged. The lack of any Side Deck and the Limited/Semi-Limited fusion enablers hold the final score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); weak_post_side_plan (-3); unrecoverable_choke_point (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*62 + 0.20*52 = 60.0, then -7 modifiers = 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Archetype core is dense: 18 Predap-named copies and 16 searchers
• Extra Deck is efficient, with 11 Fusion and 4 Synchro cards that match the archetype standard
• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps plus negation and removal text on Fusion boards
• Redundant starters at 3 copies each (Scorpio, Longinephila, Bufolicula, Dracaena)

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Fusion gate relies on five Polymerization-type spells, with LP costs on three of them
• Seven hand traps and Ghost Sister/Ash can be dead on a going-first hand
• No combo data, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Polymerization-type spells: a hand without one of the five enablers rarely reaches a Fusion
• LP payment for Ultra Polymerization, Super Duper Polymerization and Instant Fusion

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main (range 40-60), 15 extra (max 15), 0 side; all restricted cards within legal copy limits; Copy histogram 7 singles, 9 doubles, 5 triples; 21 distinct main cards; Extra Deck: 11 Fusion, 4 Synchro, 14 distinct cards; Role tags: 7 hand traps, 16 searcher-text, 6 negation-text, 15 removal-text
• Inferred: Consistency: P(at least one archetype-core copy in opening hand of 5) = 0.96; Hand-trap dead-hand risk on the going-first turn; Going-second interaction and resilience from hand traps and negation text; Combo ceiling and fusion-gate reliability from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no tournament or dated metagame data); Tournament reliability (text-based estimate)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent usage_statistics in_this_deck flags appear to check only the Main Deck: Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Bal Teah, Dragostapelia, Daredevil and Triphyoverutum are listed as missing core cards but are present in the Extra Deck in cards[]; core coverage is understated, and the Extra Deck is treated as present here Mulcharmy Fuwalos (67% usage) is absent from the deck deck.title is null No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter rates Meta Power is provisional
