Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 5 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Drytron board of Level 1 Machines chained into the ritual monsters Drytron Meteonis Draconids (5000 ATK) and Drytron Meteonis DA Draconids (5000 ATK), plus Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir and Crystron/Ursatron bodies (text-based read, Inferred).; Negation and removal cards (Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown, The Great Gallant Bandit, Drytron Meteonis DA Draconids) to win after the opponent commits (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening hand with Drytron Nova or Drytron Fafnir to fetch or Special Summon a Drytron, then chain Level 1 Drytron Special Summons into Meteonis Drytron ritual (Inferred from card text).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Forbidden Droplet / Forbidden Crown and Gallant Bandit to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild the Drytron chain (Inferred).
• Recovery: Drytron Fafnir and Drytron Zeta Aldhibah / Alpha Thuban search Drytron cards and Ritual Spells from the Deck; Meteonis Drytron can recover from the GY (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The Drytron core (17 archetype copies, P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) = 0.95) gives the deck a high chance of a live starter, and its searchers (19 searcher-text copies) keep the engine accessible. Interaction is moderate: 16 negation-text cards (Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown, Gallant Bandit, Draconids DA) and 11 removal-text cards provide breadth, but no hand traps are included. Ceiling and floor cannot be measured because the export has no recorded boards (combos_evidence.total_combos = 0), so the combo dimensions are text-only Inferred reads. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not credited: only 49% of main-deck copies are exact Drytron, and the deck is not scored as an average of card scores. Because the list contains a Forbidden card (Triple Tactics Talent) and the deck is Illegal, the structural score of 50 is shown for reference only and the final score is capped at 25.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; strategy was not a clean single match). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden card in deck) (-10); no side deck (0). Final formula: Structural 50 (Balanced) and TR 40 give 0.80*50 + 0.20*40 = 48 before modifiers. The deck is Illegal (Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent), so the rubric cap applies and the final score is set to 25. Structural is theoretical only. Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Drytron core (17 copies) with high opening-hand access (0.95)
• Multiple searchers (19 copies of searcher text) and Level 1 Special Summon routes for redundancy
• Negation-heavy interaction suite (16 negation-text copies) and two 5000 ATK Ritual finishers

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG
• No Side Deck (side_count 0)
• Only 49% exact archetype purity; Forbidden, Cyber Dragon and Mulcharmy filler dilutes the engine
• No hand traps and no floodgates

Critical choke points

• Meteonis Drytron (1 copy) is the single ritual spell for the Draconids finishers; opening with it is about 12.5% (Inferred)
• Level 1 Special Summon chains depend on a Drytron already on the field, so the first Drytron is a single point of failure (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG; 40 main / 5 extra / 0 side passes size rules (40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15); Copy counts, archetype purity 48.9%, and extra deck breakdown; Forbidden copies 6 (Droplet 3, Crown 3)
• Inferred: Opening-hand estimates (0.3376 per 3-copy card; 0.9489 for core group); Engine chain and role assignments from card text; Primary strategy Toolbox from breadth of engine and interaction
• Provisional: Meta power (null); Matchup fit (no meta data); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only Inferred reads No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate or matchup telemetry in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is Illegal, so the final score is capped and this is a theoretical/structural read
