Dominus Deck #769918 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck synchro/xyz closers (Chaos Angel, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Psychic End Punisher) that are summoned after the Labrynth/Normal Trap engine has gained board or hand advantage; Hand-trap and trap-based disruption (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) that trades for the opponent's first summon and keeps the Extra Deck boss live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Labrynth starter (Arias the Labrynth Butler or Arianna the Labrynth Servant), use its Normal Summon/Set effect to fetch or set a Labrynth Normal Trap, and build toward a Synchro or Xyz summon behind Lady Labrynth or Chaos Angel (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Solemn Accusation) to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then rebuild with Labrynth recursion from the GY (Big Welcome Labrynth, Welcome Labrynth, Stovie Torbie) (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Recover through GY-triggered effects: Big Welcome Labrynth can be banished from the GY to return a card, Stovie Torbie can be Special Summoned from the GY when a Normal Trap effect resolves, and Arias can Special Summon a Labrynth from hand (Inferred from excerpts)
• After siding: None. The deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan and no way to adapt in best-of-3.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a Labrynth and Normal Trap engine with three-copy starters (each about 25% to appear in a going-first 5-card hand) and a trap-heavy interaction suite of 8 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards. Interaction density is the strongest signal, while the engine is only moderately reliable, since the Labrynth core is 16 cards with only 5.7% exact-name Dominus purity and 37 generic cards. The Extra Deck closers are strong on paper, but there are no recorded boards, no guides, and no tournament link, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences and the score stays Low confidence. The deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation and a small penalty applies. Popularity or archetype usage stats were not credited, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-5); Meta provisional = 0.80*45 + 0.20*40 - 5 = 39

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Dense layered interaction: 8 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards, and multiple going-second answers to the first summon
• Three-copy starters with several distinct Labrynth entry points, giving more than one way to begin a line
• Full Extra Deck of synchro, xyz and link closers with 3500-ATK options

Weaknesses

• Low exact archetype purity (5.7%) with 37 generic and 16 Labrynth cards, so the engine is spread across sub-archetypes
• 34 trap cards in 55 main slots can produce reactive dead draws when no trap is needed
• No side deck, so the deck cannot adapt across a best-of-3 set

Critical choke points

• Reaching the Extra Deck closers depends on the Labrynth starter and a Normal Trap being live together
• No recorded combo or guide data confirms the intended lines, so the most common turn-1 sequence is unverified

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 is within OCG size rules (40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15); All 5 restricted cards are within their current OCG legal copy limits; Composition: 34 trap cards, 8 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards, 11 Synchro Extra Deck cards; Exact-name Dominus purity is 5.7%; Labrynth copies total 16
• Inferred: Starter access probability (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Interaction quality from negation and hand-trap text; Going-first and going-second plans from card excerpts; Brick risk from 34 trap cards and low archetype purity
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck cards: post-side performance cannot be assessed No guides attached for the archetype
