Armed Dragon Deck #769013 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Xyz/Synchro
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz/Synchro boards built from the Dragon Ruler and Armed Dragon Level-chain (Blaze, Chasma, Eclipse, Voloferniges, Disaster) once the Level chain is online; Black Rose Moonlight Dragon and Dark Armed/Dragon Ruler beaters once a board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Dragon Ruler / Armed Dragon Level-chain) and use a Dragon Ruler discard-to-Special-Summon chain toward a Level 7 Dragon Ruler or Xyz; hold hand traps for the opponent's first Special Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first board (D.D. Crow, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Nibiru) and convert the interaction into a Dragon Ruler Xyz on the following turn
• Recovery: Mulcharmy and Armed Dragon monsters refill hand while Dragon Ruler monsters recur from the Graveyard through Nebulus, Roxrose and Red Rose Dragon
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust between games

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searcher density (18 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening) ≈ 0.87, Inferred) makes the Dragon Ruler and Armed Dragon Level-chain reliably reachable on turn 1-2, and the Extra Deck (11 Xyz, 4 Synchro) gives a broad conversion surface. Interaction is dense: 10 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards and 27 removal-text cards give a 72% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand (Inferred). The main drag is coherence: only 4 of 55 Main Deck cards are the exact Armed Dragon name (5.7% exact-name purity), with 66 off-archetype copies spread across Dragon Ruler, Mulcharmy, Rose Dragon and others, which raises brick and conflicting-summon risk. The deck is capped low because Sekka's Light is run 3 times against a Limited limit of 1, which makes it illegal; the score is therefore theoretical/structural only, and popularity or meta-share earned no points (no tournament data). No combo boards were recorded, so ceiling and floor are Inferred from card text alone, and Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (illegal copy count) (-5); No side deck / no post-side plan (-3); Illegal list cap (-8). Final formula: Structural 53 (Midrange profile) → 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 = 51.4 uncapped; modifiers -8 → 43.4; capped to 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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 gives a high chance of an opening searcher
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps, 11 negation-text and 27 removal-text cards
• Flexible Extra Deck with 11 Xyz and 4 Synchro options
• Dragon Ruler recursion gives multiple independent lines

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Sekka's Light run 3 times against a Limited limit of 1
• Low archetype purity: 5.7% exact-name Armed Dragon cards
• No Side Deck (side_count 0)
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Sekka's Light is illegal as built and must be cut to 1 copy before the list can be played
• A Level 7 Dragon Ruler Xyz depends on a 2-card Dragon Ruler starter pair

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Sekka's Light 3 copies vs Limited limit 1; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 vs OCG size rules; Exact-name purity 5.7% (4 of 70 archetype copies); Searcher-text group P(≥1 in 5) = 0.8747
• Inferred: Starter reliability (D1) and brick risk (D2); Interaction density (D7) and going-second hand-trap coverage (D8); Floor and ceiling of combo output (D3, D4)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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 for going-first/second, matchup or brick/starter rates No side deck registered Deck title is null in the export
