Dominus Deck #770470 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Angelechy Synchro boards (Shatranga, Seneschal, Bastion, Destrier at 3000 or 2500 ATK) built through Angelechy Opposition and Angelechy Opening to e4 / Problem continuous-spell lines; Single-copy high-ATK Synchros (Centur-Ion Legatia 3500, Chaos Angel 3500) as closers when the board is clear
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Angelechy Strategy Score or Angelechy Problem to set up an Angelechy Synchro path; hold Dominus Purge, Dominus Impulse and Ash Blossom for the opponent's first effect
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) to answer the first board, then rebuild with Angelechy Opening to e4 during the opponent's Standby Phase
• Recovery: Banish Angelechy Verdict or Angelechy Disturbance from the GY for extra Angelechy searches; Angelechy Strategy Score gives a further search from the GY
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system, not an average of its card scores, and the legality cap applies: the list runs Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent and over-limit copies of Ash Blossom, Foolish Burial Goods, Dominus Impulse and Droll & Lock Bird, so this is a structural read only. The core Angelechy engine is well supplied (39 core copies, P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) about 0.999, Inferred), so the deck usually has a live starter, but any single starter is only about 25% per opening hand. Interaction is dense (17 negation and 27 removal text hits, 11 hand traps, P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand) about 0.76, Inferred), which supports the going-second plan. Output is not verified: there are no recorded boards, no guides and no tournament data, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Archetype popularity was not credited; the deck's Angelechy-family share (29 of 70 cards in the archetype spread, only 9 exact-name Dominus) is treated as a coherent engine, not as proof of strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.1, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no Side Deck (-3); no_recorded_combos (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); legality-capped: 0.80*53.1 + 0.20*40 = 50.5, then -12 modifiers = 38.5, rounded to 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 negation and removal text across 11 hand traps and traps
• Large Angelechy core (39 copies) gives a live starter in almost every opening hand
• Multiple independent Extra Deck closers at 3000+ ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden card plus four over-limit cards
• No Side Deck
• Low archetype purity (12.9% exact-name Dominus); the engine spans several sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards or tournament data to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Angelechy Opposition and Opening to e4 are the main Extra-Deck access; losing both to hand traps removes most of the engine
• Single-copy closers (Legatia, Chaos Angel) are unrecoverable if they are not drawn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and the five copy-limit/banlist violations; Main 55 and Extra 15 within size rules; Composition counts (type, copy histogram, archetype spread, role tags); Side deck is empty (Side Deck size 0)
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for starters and hand traps; Going-first and going-second estimates; Floor, median and ceiling from card text only; Interaction and recovery quality
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no guides attached to the archetype
