Thunder Dragon Deck #767272 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Invoked Fusion Monsters from the Extra Deck (Invoked Elysium, Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Oceanus) through Aleister-enabled material, then press with 3000+ ATK boards.; Synchro pressure from Draco Berserker of the Tenyi and The Three Champions of Swordsoul, plus Juraishin as a board-wipe threat.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Aleister the Reminiscent or Sorcerer of the Swamp, search an Aleister or Invocation through Dark Time Wizard / Aiwass, then Fusion Summon an Invoked monster and use Dark Hole or Twin Twisters to clear the way.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Aiwass or Aleister from hand to disrupt, then recover into a Fusion Summon once the board is stable. Hand interaction is absent, so this depends on the board-clear spells.
• Recovery: Searchers (19 cards with search text) rebuild the Aleister bank from Deck and GY. Invocation and Gamma Summon can reuse the GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: Pharaonic Advent is Forbidden in the OCG list and is run at 1 copy, so the structural score is shown for theoretical reference only and the final score is capped at 35. Structurally, the list has a real Aleister-based engine: three copies each of Aleister the Reminiscent, Aiwass and Sorcerer of the Swamp, plus searchers (19 cards with search text) that give good resource grind. The Extra Deck has strong closers (Invoked Elysium, Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Oceanus, Draco Berserker), and the Main Deck has layered interaction (Dark Hole, Twin Twisters, Pair Bear Scare!!, Paradox Fusion, Gamma Summon). Points were not earned from archetype popularity, and no card scores were averaged. The deck is also loosely built: archetype purity is 0% exact-name, with off-archetype Magician, Swamp, Mulcharmy, Hole and Mask copies diluting the engine, and no combos, guides or tournament data exist to measure floor or median output.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural-only. 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 = 51.4; banlist modifier -12 gives 39.4; capped to 35 for Illegal status. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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

• Searcher density (19 cards) gives strong resource grind for a Fusion-based engine.
• Extra Deck closers at 3000-3800 ATK give real closing power.
• Broad interaction mix: Dark Hole, Twin Twisters, Paradox Fusion, Pair Bear Scare!!, Gamma Summon.

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Pharaonic Advent (Forbidden) is in the Main Deck.
• Engine is diluted: 0% exact-name archetype purity and several unrelated sub-archetype cards.
• No Side Deck, no hand traps, no floodgate depth for going second.

Critical choke points

• Aleister the Reminiscent and Aiwass are the only ways to start the Fusion engine; a 3-copy starter gives about 25% per hand.
• The Forbidden card must be removed before the list is legal, which changes the Main Deck count and the summon paths.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Pharaonic Advent is Forbidden and run at 1 copy, so status is Illegal.; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules.; Extra Deck is 12 Fusion and 3 Synchro monsters.; Archetype purity is 0% exact-name, with 70 off-archetype copies.
• Observed: No recorded boards, combos or guides exist for this deck.
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access: 0.25 per 3-copy card, 0.56 for the 8-copy archetype core in hand 5.; Searcher density (19 cards) supports resource grind.; Interaction density (Dark Hole, Twin Twisters, Paradox Fusion, 7 negation cards) is strong on the card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample, so tournament_reliability and d13 are provisional.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No guides for the archetype. Deck title is null, and the archetype label (Thunder Dragon) does not match the list content (Invoked / Aleister). 1 passcode (86120751) in the card list could not be resolved and is counted as Main Deck. No Side Deck registered, so the post-side plan cannot be evaluated. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; all consistency signals are Inferred. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
