Dragon Ruler Deck #769014 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 42/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, 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: Xyz Summon Dragon Ruler Xyz monsters (Chasma, Eclipse, Disaster) and Dragon-type beaters (Blaster, Tempest, Tidal, Blaze) for board pressure and closing damage; Armed Dragon / Rose Dragon / Kaiju sub-lines providing extra beatstick and Extra Deck summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a searcher (Spectral, Red Rose Dragon, Roxrose, Redox) or a Dragon Ruler Level 2-4 chain starter to reach a Level 7 Dragon Ruler via discard-to-summon effects, then Xyz into Chasma or Eclipse
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (D.D. Crow, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then continue into Dragon Ruler Xyz or Blaster/Tempest through the End Phase return loop
• Recovery: Recursion from GY and banishment: Dragon Ruler Level 4 or lower monsters in GY or banish are shuffled back via Eclipse, and Level 7 Dragon Rulers are re-summoned from the GY by Blaster and Tempest
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is the Dragon Ruler discard-to-summon chain, which reliably reaches Level 7 Dragon-type bodies (P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.87, Inferred). It converts into real pressure through Chasma and Eclipse Xyz plus Blaster, Tempest and Tidal, and it has 10 hand traps and several bounce or banish effects for interaction, so going-second disruption is credible. The structural score is held down by weak archetype coherence (only 12.9 percent exact-name Dragon Ruler copies; 61 of 70 non-exact copies are off-archetype), no side deck, and a brick-prone spread of 36 generic cards. The score is capped by the legality failure: Sekka's Light is run at 3 copies against a Limited limit of 1, so the list is not a legal OCG deck and this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype-standard core is only partly present (6 of 9 core cards), and the score was not built from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; illegal-list banlist modifier applied)

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

• Dragon-type chain reliably reaches Level 7 bodies through discard-to-summon effects (Inferred)
• Strong end-board and closing bodies: Chasma 3000 ATK, Blaze 2800 ATK, Pile Armed Dragon and Armed Dragon Thunder LV7 (verified)
• 10 hand traps provide going-second disruption (verified flags, Inferred value)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Sekka's Light at 3 copies over the Limited limit of 1 (verified)
• Low archetype coherence: 12.9 percent exact-name purity, 61 off-archetype copies (verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (verified)
• No recorded boards, so combo floor and median cannot be measured (verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Legality: the list cannot be played as built until Sekka's Light is cut to 1 copy
• Dragon Ruler starter density depends on the 6 Dragon Ruler copies of 2-3 copies each; a hand missing starters goes non-functional

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: OCG legality: Sekka's Light run 3 copies, Limited allows 1; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 against OCG size rules 40-60, 0-15, 0-15; Exact-name archetype purity 12.9 percent; Chasma 3000 ATK, Blaze 2800 ATK and other card stats from card text
• Observed: Usage: Tempest, Blaster and Stream, Reactan, Spectral and Pile Armed Dragon are inside the archetype core; 6 of 9 core cards are present
• Inferred: Searcher-text P(>=1 in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.87 as an engine-access estimate; Hand-trap P(>=1 in 6-card hand going second) ≈ 0.72 as a going-second disruption estimate; Dragon Ruler chain conversion and recursion value from card text; D1-D14 scores from text and hypergeometric estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; D13 matchup and format fit: no tournament link and no meta-share data
• 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 and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied side deck is empty, so post-side scoring rests on composition alone
