Crimson Dragon Deck #769801 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro or Fusion boss (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Crimson Dragon, Cosmic Blazar Dragon) after a Blue-Eyes or Mulcharmy draw-and-extend start; Interaction-backed attrition: hand traps and Spell/Trap negation keep the opponent's board from forming while the Extra Deck boss comes online
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Sage with Eyes of Blue or Mulcharmy to extend and search, reach a Blue-Eyes Synchro or Fusion boss on turn 2, and hold Ash or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) to blank the opponent's first-turn play, then convert with a Synchro boss or Blue-Eyes Fusion
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand after a board is spent; Ghost Belle and Ash-style hand traps keep one interaction piece in hand for the next turn
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be verified; the deck has no side-slot adjustments to reference

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional start because the Blue-Eyes and Mulcharmy draw-and-search cards (Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia) are run in multiple copies, and the archetype-core group has an estimated 0.96 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Its strongest quality is interaction density: about 14 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards give it layered answers on both the going-first and going-second turn. It converts that start into a Synchro or Fusion boss with a high ceiling (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon at 3500 ATK, Neo Blue-Eyes at 4500, Cosmic Blazar at 4000), but no recorded boards exist, so median output and the conversion rate are unmeasured. The score does not come from averaging card scores or from Crimson Dragon being a popular archetype (usage stats only confirm the list is real). The deck is capped because it is illegal: the Extra Deck is one card over, Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a limit of 2, and Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary disclosed; secondary weights not blended, primary profile used as-is. Structural ≈ 54.5, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); dependence on unresolved card (-2); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); uncapped 0.80*54.5 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 40.6, then capped to 35 because the deck is Illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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

• Extra Deck bosses reach 3500 to 4500 ATK
• Layered interaction: about 14 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards
• Multiple draw-and-search engines (Mulcharmy, Sage, Maiden)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Extra Deck over by one, Ash over copy limit, Forbidden card present
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the median and conversion rate are unmeasured
• Many sub-archetypes make the engine less coherent

Critical choke points

• Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and must be removed before the deck can be scored as legal
• Ash Blossom at 3 copies must drop to 2
• Extra Deck must lose one card to meet the 15-card limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Extra Deck has 16 cards, above the OCG maximum of 15; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited limit (3 vs 2); Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and present at 1 copy; Main Deck has 54 cards, inside the OCG 40-60 range; No side deck is registered (0 cards)
• Observed: Usage stats: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Droll & Lock Bird are core cards with 82% and 88% inclusion (confirms the list is real, not that it is strong)
• Inferred: Archetype-core P(at least one in 5-card hand) is about 0.96; Hand-trap and negation density give layered interaction; The engine has a high ceiling but an unmeasured median
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent 1 passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as Main) no win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck registered, so post-side adaptability is unscored Meta power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
