Rose Dragon Deck #768308 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Rose Dragon and Plant Synchro boss monsters (Black Rose Dragon, Ruddy Rose Dragon, Psychic End Punisher) and attack through the field, with Black Rose Garden and Twilight Rose Black Knight supporting the Plant board; Recursion-driven Plant Synchro chains (Garden Rose Maiden, Rage Rose Witch, Vengeful Witch) that rebuild the board after interruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starters (Red Rose Dragon, Roxrose Dragon, White Rose Dragon, Vengeful Witch, Lonefire Blossom) search or summon Rose Dragons and Plant Tuners into a Synchro Summon; Ash Blossom and Gravity Collapse are held up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hands use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Droll and Lock Bird) to stop the opponent's first board, then continue into Synchro Summon from the Plant engine
• Recovery: Graveyard effects: Red Rose Dragon and Roxrose Dragon search and revive Rose Dragons, Spore and Glow-Up Bulb recur Plant Tuners, and Frozen Rose or Bramble Rose Dragon re-enter the field
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan can be read from the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Synchro engine: its Plant and Rose starters (three copies each of Red Rose Dragon, Roxrose Dragon and Vengeful Witch) and the 16-copy archetype core give an inferred 0.85 chance of at least one core card in a five-card opening hand. Its interaction suite is broad, with six hand traps, 11 negation-text cards and 11 removal-text cards, which scores well on end-board interaction and going second. Its weaknesses are on the construction side: only 11 of 69 copies are exact-name Rose Dragon cards, 13 tech or off-archetype cards dilute the hands, and the list has no Side Deck. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and recovery. The list is illegal on copy limit and Extra Deck size, so the final score is capped low and the evaluation is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.85 Midrange / 0.15 Combo, applied by weighting the Midrange profile and reporting the Combo component in the strategy label. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflicts (-3); off_archetype_dilution (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*57 + 0.20*48 = 55.2, then modifiers -9 gives 46.2; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Large, consistent archetype core: 16 copies with an inferred 0.85 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand
• Broad interaction: six hand traps plus negation and removal text on Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird and the Extra Deck boss monsters
• Recursion through Red Rose Dragon, Roxrose Dragon and Spore gives several independent recovery lines

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom is over the Semi-Limited cap and the Extra Deck is 17 over a limit of 15
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan at all
• Low exact-name archetype purity (15.9%) with many off-archetype copies and staples from unrelated engines
• No recorded boards or guides, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Single Synchro Summon from the Plant or Rose starters: if Red Rose Dragon, Roxrose Dragon and Vengeful Witch are all dead, the opening has little to build on
• Ash Blossom and Droll are the only answers to a going-second board, and both are single-card hand traps

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom run 3 vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited) and Extra Deck 17 vs maximum 15; Card text and stats for Rose Dragon, Plant and Synchro cards from the evidence; Copy histogram: 13 singles, 3 doubles, 11 triples, 52 main cards; Usage statistics: 7 of 15 core cards present (46.7%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand probabilities (0.85 for the core, 0.54 for hand traps going second); Interaction density and recovery read from card text; Midrange primary strategy and Combo secondary, from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) without a dated metagame sample; Side-deck adaptability (D12) with no Side Deck
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck supplied (0 cards), so post-side plans cannot be evaluated
