Predaplant Deck #767256 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large DARK Predaplant or Starving Venom Fusion Monster (Predapower 3600, Wing Dragon 3300, Dragostapelia 2700) and use Predator Counters to negate and shrink opposing monsters.; Chimerafflesia and Ambulomelides as board breakers and removal once the Fusion Monster is established.
• Turn 1 (going first): Starter (Scorpio, Longinephila, Dracaena, Byblisp) into Predaprimitive or Predaplanning, then Polymerization or Instant Fusion for a Predaplant Fusion Monster; keep Ash Blossom up.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Dominus Spark, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle) to break the opponent's starter, then Fusion Summon through the disruption.
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY via Byblisp, Longinephila and Dracaena, plus Mulcharmy draw effects and Fusion Substitute to return Fusion Monsters.
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are each run three times against a limit of two, so the score is capped and the evaluation is theoretical only. Structurally the engine is well-supported: the 21 core Predaplant copies give a 92% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and several starters (Ophrys Scorpio, Longinephila, Dracaena, Byblisp) can each begin a line. The Extra Deck offers strong closing options (Predapower 3600, Starving Venom Wing Dragon 3300, Dragostapelia 2700) and the hand-trap suite gives reasonable interaction. The deck has no side deck, recorded boards are absent, and there is no tournament data, so the floor and median are provisional. Popularity and archetype usage confirm the list is real but did not add points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12); No side deck (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*60 + 0.20*52 = 58.4, then capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (over copy limit for Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse); Meta provisional

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

• Redundant Predaplant starters (Scorpio, Longinephila, Dracaena, Byblisp) give a 92% chance of at least one core card in hand.
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 2700-3600 ATK with negate and removal text.
• Seven hand traps and Predaprimitive/Predaplanning give several recovery options.

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are over the copy limit.
• No side deck, so post-side adaptability is absent.
• Heavy off-archetype spread (56 of 111 archetype-tagged copies do not match the exact name), raising brick and conflict risk.

Critical choke points

• Fusion Summon depends on Polymerization variants (Instant Fusion, Super Polymerization, Fusion Substitute); losing these to a single interruption stalls the engine.
• Predator Counter timing is required for many effects, so early disruption on the starter is costly.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal under OCG copy limits: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a limit of 2.; Main deck 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side deck is 0.; Archetype core presence 21 copies, 92% chance of at least one in opening hand 5.
• Observed: Usage statistics show 18 archetype stat rows; Predaplant core cards appear in 50-75% of lists.
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws and card text.; Combo ceiling and closing power from card text only; no recorded boards.
• Provisional: Median output and Meta Power are provisional: no boards or dated metagame sample.; Matchup fit based on archetype share only.
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first/second split and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample no side deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed
