Dinomorphia Deck #769435 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion-summon Dinomorphia Kentregina / Rexterm (3 copies each) using Dinomorphia Frenzy and Domain as fusion enablers, then attack through a trap-based protective shell; Supreme King Z-ARC and Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon as extra-deck finishers when the Dinomorphia line stalls
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Dinomorphia traps and Solemn Strike/Judgment as backrow protection, Fossil Dig or Trap Holic for a trap, then Fusion Summon a Dinomorphia monster; Solemn/Ferret Flames hold the opponent's responses
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Dinomorphia Intact, Dinomorphia Sonic, Solemn Accusation, Gravedigger's Trap Hole, Iron Thunder, Droll & Lock Bird) answer the first summon or spell; Dominus Impulse is the strongest counter but is over the copy limit in this list
• Recovery: Banish Trap cards from the GY to Special Summon Dinomorphia monsters (Diplos, Alert, Therizia recursion text) and rebuild with Pot of Duality and Fossil Dig
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side cards, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck's structure is a Dinomorphia Fusion engine supported by a 37-trap main deck with heavy negation and removal text, so the score reflects how the system fits together, not any average of its card scores. Its consistency is moderate: the archetype core has about a 90% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, but 37 of 57 main cards are traps, so many hands are dead without a monster. Its interaction is the strongest part, with three Solemn cards, Dominus Impulse, Gravedigger's Trap Hole and Iron Thunder covering the main summon and activation windows. The score is capped because the list is illegal (Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a limit of 2) and has no side deck, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage data confirms the list is real, but earns no power points on its own. No combo boards or win-rate telemetry were supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are all Inferred from card text.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal: copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) - 12 over-limit modifier = 37.6, rounded to 38; theoretical/structural-only; Meta Power null (provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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 negation across Solemn, Gravedigger's Trap Hole, Dominus Impulse and Iron Thunder
• Large archetype core (20 Dinomorphia cards) gives a high chance of finding a core piece
• Extra Deck has multiple finishers (Kentregina, Rexterm, Z-ARC, Brave-Eyes)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Trap-heavy main deck (37 of 57) with low monster density, so many hands are dead without monsters
• LP-based costs and effects make the deck fragile at low life

Critical choke points

• Dominus Impulse copy count must be reduced to 2 before the list is playable
• A single starter monster is needed for most Fusion lines; a hand of traps alone rarely wins

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57, Extra 14, Side 0; Dominus Impulse 3 copies vs legal 2 (OCG Semi-Limited); Card text and types for all 26 distinct main cards and 10 distinct extra cards; Usage statistics: 10 of 15 archetype core cards present, 66.7% core coverage
• Inferred: Starter probability (hypergeometric) and archetype-core coverage; Brick rate estimate from 37 traps and 15 monsters; Interaction quality from the negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty, so no post-side evidence exists
