Forbidden Deck #769393 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 5 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Drytron ritual and Special Summon chain ending in Drytron Meteonis Draconids (5000 ATK) or a 2000-ATK Drytron beatstick board; Link and Xyz boards built from Drytron and Linkuriboh material
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Drytron starter (Drytron Nu II or Drytron Zeta Aldhibah) and search a Drytron Spell/Ritual with Drytron Fafnir or Ultimate Bright Knight Ursatron Alpha, then run the Meteonis Drytron ritual line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet or Forbidden Crown as hand-to-field interaction, then rebuild a Drytron ritual board with Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws
• Recovery: Drytron monsters Special Summon from the GY and Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir is available from the Extra Deck for board rebuild
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: one copy of Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden in OCG) is run, so the Final Contextual score is capped and the figure above is structural-only and theoretical. As a system, the Drytron engine has a plausible T1 starter density (P of at least one of the 3-copy starters in a 5-card hand is about 0.34, and the searcher text group reaches about 0.97 in hand), but the single copies of Meteonis Drytron and the Ritual Spell make the ritual finisher line brick-prone. Floor and median output cannot be read because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling (Drytron Meteonis Draconids at 5000 ATK with negation text) is text-only and Inferred. The deck has no Side Deck and no tournament or matchup data, so side adaptability and format fit are scored low and provisional. No card scores were averaged; popularity from the Drytron and Forbidden archetype usage stats was not credited as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile primary; Midrange used as the secondary read for the Drytron midrange board. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); hard_garnet_burden (-4). Final formula: Structural 48 => 0.80*48 + 0.20*35 = 45.4; modifiers -12 => 33.4; Illegal cap applied => 20 (theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Drytron archetype is coherent: 22 of 40 main cards are Drytron-named, with a dense searcher and Special Summon network
• Two Forbidden interaction cards (Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown) and Linkuriboh give the deck a real interaction package
• Ritual finisher Drytron Meteonis Draconids gives a high ceiling (5000 ATK, negation text)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG and is run 1 copy
• No Side Deck (0 cards) gives no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so floor and median output are unverified
• Single-copy ritual pieces (Meteonis Drytron, the Ritual Spell) create brick risk

Critical choke points

• Meteonis Drytron (1 copy, P of at least one in hand5 about 0.125) gates the Draconids ritual finisher
• Triple Tactics Talent is an illegal card that must be removed before any legal evaluation applies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in OCG and run 1 copy, making the list Illegal; Main 40 and Extra 5 satisfy the OCG size rules; Side is 0; 22 of 40 main cards are Drytron-named; archetype purity is 13.3% for the exact name Forbidden
• Inferred: Starter and searcher density gives the Drytron engine a plausible T1 start; Brick risk from single-copy ritual pieces; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; matchup and format fit are provisional without a dated OCG meta sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first and going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample no Side Deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
