Dragunity Deck #767956 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link Dragunity boards (Ascalon, Areadbhair, Barcha, Areus) converting extended pressure through hand-trap protection; Dragon-type Tuner and Winged Beast searches feeding Dragunity Knight Synchro summons, with Gae Dearg and Gormfaobhar recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Dragon Ravine or a Dragunity searcher, go to a Dragunity Synchro or Link line, and hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activation (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle; at least one in hand 58 percent of the time, Inferred) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through GY-equip Synchro plays
• Recovery: Dragunity recursion through Remus, Phalanx, Couse and Dragunity Glow back to the Extra Deck Synchro monsters (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Dragunity searcher line: P(at least one of 13 searcher-text cards in a 5-card opener) is about 0.76, and the 13 searchers plus the Dragon Ravine and Dragunity Glow recursion keep the engine alive (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest system trait: 7 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards, with Ash Blossom at 3 copies, give layered protection that scores on end-board interaction. The closing power comes from the Extra Deck Synchro and Link bosses (Ascalon and Areadbhair at 3300 ATK), not from any averaged card score. Real weaknesses are the 52 percent exact-archetype purity (33 off-archetype copies across Mulcharmy, Bystial, Cyclone and Harpie), the absence of any Side Deck, and the Illegal status from Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2. Popularity and the Dragunity usage stat do not earn points; no combo boards exist, so the score rests on inferred structure and is capped as theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + modifiers(-12) = 43, capped to 35 as theoretical-only (Illegal list); Meta Power provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

• Layered hand-trap protection: Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle at 2-3 copies each
• Searcher density (13 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of a live opener
• Extra Deck bosses at 3300 ATK (Ascalon, Areadbhair) and Synchro/Link coverage for all 15 Extra slots

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low exact-archetype purity (52 percent) with 33 off-archetype copies from Mulcharmy, Bystial, Cyclone and Harpie
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation between games
• No recorded combos or win-rate telemetry to verify the line

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom is the central hand trap; cutting it to 2 copies lowers protection density
• Dragon Ravine and the Dragunity searchers are the single access route to the Extra Deck bosses

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 54 and Extra 15 counts are within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Side deck is empty; Extra Deck has 10 Synchro and 5 Link monsters
• Observed: Usage stat: Ash Blossom at 70 percent inclusion in this archetype
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.76 from the hypergeometric searcher estimate; Hand-trap protection density and going-second coverage; Closing power of the 3300 ATK bosses
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
