Dragon Link Deck #769771 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Borrel Link bosses in the Extra Deck (Borrelend Dragon, Borrelshroud Dragon, Borrelsword Dragon) attacking through a cleared board (Inferred from card text; no combos recorded); Rokket Link and Fusion pressure (Silverrokket Dragon, Magnarokket Dragon, Borreload Fatalflare Dragon) plus recursion via Absorouter Dragon
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Rokket starter (Quick Launch, Rokket Tracer, Rokket Loader) to search or summon a second Rokket, then Link-summon into the Borrel bosses (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 11 hand traps and negation text (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Droll & Lock Bird, Borrel Reboot, Noctovision Dragon) to disrupt the opponent's board before a Rokket-into-Link line (Inferred)
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Recharger recover Rokket monsters from the Deck or GY after removal or negation (text-based, Inferred)
• After siding: None: the Side Deck is empty (side_count 0) and no post-side data exists

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the Semi-Limited cap, Droll & Lock Bird is over its Limited cap, and Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden, so the evaluation is a capped, structural-only read rather than a normal Final Contextual score. The deck reliably opens a Rokket starter in roughly a quarter of opening hands for any single 3-of, with about 0.96 odds of at least one archetype-core card (Inferred). Its strongest structural feature is interaction: eleven hand traps and eleven negation-text cards give a going-second hand a 0.76 chance of holding one hand trap. Output is not measured because no combos were recorded, so ceiling and floor are text-only inferences, and the Borrel link bosses are scored on their card text, not on any observed board. Popularity did not earn points: usage statistics show the Borrel bosses as near-universal core cards, but this list runs them inconsistently and the scores were not averaged from individual card power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped = 0.80*Structural(51.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-12) = 37.5; capped to 20 per the illegal-deck rule. Structural-only theoretical read. Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Eleven hand traps and eleven negation-text cards give strong going-second interruption (Inferred)
• Full Borrel and Rokket Link line-up with 3500 ATK bosses in the Extra Deck (Verified card text)
• Recursion from Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Recharger adds some redundancy (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four copy-limit violations, including two Forbidden cards (Verified)
• Only 0% exact-name archetype purity; 70 off-archetype copies across Rokket, Borrel and Mulcharmy (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• 22 tech cards dilute the main deck (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Rokket starter (Quick Launch, Rokket Tracer, Rokket Loader) is needed to Link-summon into the Borrel bosses; a hand with no Rokket loses the main line (Inferred)
• Going-second hand-trap coverage depends on a single hand-trap draw (p>=1 = 0.76) (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal in OCG: 4 copy-limit violations including 2 Forbidden cards; 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; main and extra sizes are legal; Archetype-core group p_open 0.959; 0% exact-name archetype purity
• Inferred: Starter consistency via hypergeometric draw odds; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.76; Engine and sub-archetype coherence from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: four copy-limit violations; evaluation is structural-only and capped at 20 No combos recorded (combos_evidence total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; all consistency claims are Inferred Meta Power Provisional without a dated metagame sample Data inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Borreload Fatalflare, Borrelend, Borrelshroud, Trisborrel, S:P Little Knight, Guardragon Pisty, Borrelsword, Breachborrel and Dillingerous as not in this deck, but the cards list includes Borreload, Borrelend, Borrelshroud, Trisborrel, Borrelsword, Breachborrel and Dillingerous as extra-zone copies (S:P Little Knight also appears in the cards list); the cards list was used as the source of truth Side Deck is empty (side_count 0)
