Tenpai Dragon Deck #769194 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Tempo
• 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: Dragon Ruler and Sangen/Tenpai Dragon Synchro, Xyz and Link boss summons from the Extra Deck (Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion, Chasma, Blaze, Armed Dragon LV7 line); Recursion of FIRE Dragons from the GY through Tenpai Dragon Fadra and Sangen Kaimen, with Tidal/Blaster/Redox level-7 searchers
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Tenpai Dragon Paidra or Genroku to search a Sangen Spell/Trap, then Sangen Summoning or Sangen Kaimen to add another Tenpai monster and build a FIRE Dragon board (Inferred from card text, no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) and Harpie's Feather Duster or Lightning Storm to strip the opponent's board, then rebuild through Dragon Ruler and Tenpai searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Dragon Ruler searchers (Tidal, Blaster, Tempest, Redox, Spectral) and Tenpai GY-revival effects return boss monsters after a wipe (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (0 of 15 slots used), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This OCG Tenpai Dragon list is scored as a midrange system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine reliably reaches the core archetype cards: the 15 archetype-core copies give about an 81% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric), so the Dragon Ruler and Sangen cards are often accessible. The ceiling is capped by the fact that the Tenpai and Sangen engine is built from single copies, so any one of them being absent breaks the line. Interaction is the strongest area, with three Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Forbidden Droplet providing layered answers. The deck is rated as Illegal because it runs three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited maximum of two, which places it under the structural-only cap. No combos, tournament results, or win rates were supplied, so the median and floor are text-only inferences, and popularity or usage stats were not used to raise the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Control secondary disclosed; Control weights not applied separately, used only for qualitative reads. Structural ≈ 47.3, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-5); Banlist exposure (-3); Empty Side Deck (-2). Final formula: Structural 47.3 -> 0.80*47.3 + 0.20*35 = 44.8 (Meta provisional), + modifiers -10 = 34.8, then capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 interaction suite: three Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Forbidden Droplet
• High-level Extra Deck closers at 2800-3200 ATK with multiple summon routes
• Archetype-core group has about an 81% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Deck is Illegal as listed: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• Engine built from single copies, so the Tenpai/Sangen line is fragile to one missing card
• Low archetype purity (5.7% exact name) with 13 tech slots and 66 off-archetype copies
• Empty Side Deck: no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos, so the floor and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Sangen/Tenpai searchers (Paidra, Sangen Summoning, Sangen Kaimen) are single copies; their absence stalls the FIRE Dragon line
• Extra Deck boss summons depend on a Level-7 Dragon or Synchro material set that a single dead opening hand can miss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs Semi-Limited legal maximum of 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 counts fall within the OCG size rules; Archetype core group: 15 copies, P(at least one in hand of 5) = 0.8108; Archetype purity 5.7% exact-name; 66 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Structural read of Midrange as the primary strategy, with Control as secondary, from card text; Hand-trap and interaction density assessment from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 format fit, since no dated metagame sample was supplied; Median and floor output, since no combos were recorded
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
