Drytron Deck #767794 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Drytron Extra Deck boss monsters (Drytron Meteonis Draconids 4000 ATK via Meteonis Drytron ritual, Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir Xyz) supported by Drytron Alpha Thuban and Drytron Gamma/Zeta/Nu II recursion-and-search loop; Ritual and Link boss pressure (Megalith Notrah Plura, Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha, Firewall Dragon Singularity, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, Elder Entity N'tss) and Megalith ritual searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Drytron or Megalith starter, use Drytron Nova or Drytron Alpha Thuban to Special Summon, search a Ritual Monster or Ritual Spell, and build toward Meteonis Drytron into Draconids; hold Effect Veiler or Ash Blossom for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru, Solemn effects, Red Reboot) to stop the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild from the Graveyard through Drytron recursion
• Recovery: Drytron Gamma/Zeta/Nu II and Megalith Phul searches plus Drytron Fafnir recovery of Ritual Spells from the Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The Drytron core is reasonably accessible: the probability of at least one archetype core card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.78, and about 0.91 for at least one search-text card, so the deck usually gets a starter live by turn 1 or 2 (Inferred). Beyond that, the list is spread thin: 33 distinct Main Deck cards, 21 of them single copies, 17 tech-tagged cards, and only 15 copies of the exact Drytron name, so the engine is less coherent than the archetype name suggests. Interaction is broad (10 hand-trap-tagged cards and 21 negation-text cards) and gives real resilience, but it is spread across many one-of answers. Output is not measured: the deck has no recorded boards, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and carry low confidence. The score is capped because five Forbidden cards are run in the Extra Deck; it is not an average of card scores, and archetype popularity and usage statistics earned no points beyond confirming the core list is real.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); illegal_cap (-14); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Uncapped 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Banlist modifier(-12) = 34; Illegal cap (Step 2) applied: final = 20. Theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (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 accessible in the opening hand (about 0.78 for at least one core card)
• Broad interaction: 10 hand traps and 21 negation-text cards
• Recursion and search from Drytron Fafnir, Gamma/Zeta/Nu II and Megalith Phul

Weaknesses

• Five Forbidden Extra Deck cards make the list Illegal
• Low coherence: 21 single-copy Main Deck cards, 17 tech cards, 21.4% exact-name purity
• No Side Deck and no recorded boards or tournament data

Critical choke points

• Meteonis Drytron (1 copy) is the single ritual spell that enables Meteonis Drytron Draconids
• Drytron Fafnir (1 copy) is the only Ritual Spell recovery and search route in the Main Deck

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: five Forbidden cards run (legal_copies 0); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0: size rules satisfied; Limited cards (Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Red Reboot, Dimensional Barrier, Herald of the Arc Light, S:P Little Knight) each run at 1 copy, legal; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run at 2 copies (Semi-Limited limit 2); Archetype and card-text excerpts as listed in evidence
• Observed: Usage statistics: 25 core cards, 8 present (32%)
• Inferred: Starter consistency: archetype core P ≈ 0.78 in opening 5; Brick rate proxy ≈ 0.22; Interaction density from negation and hand-trap tags; Going-second hand-trap plan (P ≈ 0.72)
• Provisional: Meta Power (null): no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup and format fit: no tournament link
• 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 win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; no Side Deck; no guides (total_guides 0)
