Dogmatika Deck #769879 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a Level 8 or higher boss (Dogmatika/Albaz Dragon fusions, Black Chaos ritual line) and force the board through Dogmatika and Branded disruption (Inferred); Fallen of Albaz / Branded engine reaching Albion-style fusion bosses, which are Forbidden here and unavailable at legal copy counts
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fallen of Albaz or Dogmatika starter, search via Ragged Records / Nadir Servant / Branded in High Spirits (over limit), and fuse into a DARK or LIGHT boss (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre) to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recurse Fallen of Albaz and Branded spells from GY and Deck via the searcher text, then re-fuse (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its engine is split across three archetype families (Dogmatika, Branded, Light and Darkness Ritual) with only 3 exact-name Dogmatika copies out of 72 archetype-relevant copies, so the core starter reliably appears through searchers (P at least one searcher in an opening 5 is about 0.91) but the lines it opens are not cohesive. Closing power is strong, with several 2800-3000 ATK bosses and 14 Fusion Monsters in the Extra Deck, and going-second interaction is dense (8 hand traps; P at least one hand trap in 6 is about 0.63). Those strengths are capped by three legality failures: two copies of Albion the Branded Dragon and one Gimmick Puppet Nightmare are Forbidden in OCG, Branded in High Spirits runs three copies against a limit of one, and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15. Because the deck is Illegal, no normal Final Contextual score is awarded; the structural read is theoretical only. Popularity and meta-share did not add points, and no combo boards were recorded, so combo floor and ceiling are Inferred from card text alone.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-3); Illegal cap (-11). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 = 47, then modifiers -11 = 36, then capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural only; no normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Searcher density (20 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps, 13 removal-text cards and 4 negation-text cards
• High-ATK boss density (2800-3000 ATK) with 14 Fusion Monsters in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 2 Albion the Branded Dragon and 1 Gimmick Puppet Nightmare (Forbidden), Branded in High Spirits at 3 copies (limit 1), and an Extra Deck of 17 (limit 15)
• Three archetype families with only 3 exact-name Dogmatika copies, so the engine is not cohesive
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• The Extra Deck is over the size limit and contains Forbidden Albion copies, so the deck cannot be played as built
• Fallen of Albaz and the Dogmatika starter gate most fusion lines; losing both removes most of the boss access

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Albion the Branded Dragon 2 copies (Forbidden, legal 0), Gimmick Puppet Nightmare 1 copy (Forbidden), Branded in High Spirits 3 copies (Limited, legal 1); Extra Deck is 17 cards against a maximum of 15; Main Deck is 55 (within 40-60); side_count is 0; Card text for 33 main and 14 extra distinct cards is present in the evidence excerpts
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: 6 core cards, 4 present (66.7 percent core coverage); Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon and Titaniklad are missing
• Inferred: Searcher-group opening-hand probability approximately 0.91 and hand-trap-group going-second probability approximately 0.63 (hypergeometric); Engine cohesion is low: only 4.2 percent exact-name archetype purity across three families; Brick risk is moderate, from the 19 singletons and conflicting summon requirements
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup and format fit (D13) cannot be verified without tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No Side Deck supplied, so D12 cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
