Dominus Deck #770487 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Angelechy Extra Deck synchro boards (Shatranga, Bastion, Castellan, Destrier, Seneschal) and the Centur-Ion / Kusanagi / Hyperion / Black-Winged Dragon finishers, reached through Angelechy starters.; Dominus Spark / Dominus Purge / Dominus Impulse trap exchanges that trade hand and field interaction into a board lead; no recorded boards support this.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Angelechy Opening to e4 or Angelechy Problem, search and place the Angelechy Field Spell, then Synchro into an Angelechy boss. Text-only read; no combo boards exist.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Mourner for the opponent's first summon or search, then convert with a Shatranga or Destrier line. Hand-trap density (about 0.76 at hand 6) carries this.
• Recovery: Angelechy Strategy Score and Angelechy Problem recover Angelechy Spell/Trap cards from the Deck and GY; Angelechy Verdict and Angelechy Disturbance banish from GY to rebuild. Text-only, unverified.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play would need a side list before this can be scored normally.

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably on its Angelechy core: the archetype core group is about 99.7% likely to show at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and each 3-copy starter (Opening to e4, Problem, Strategy Score) has about 25% odds of appearing in the opening hand. Its strength lies in interaction. Eleven hand traps and about 21 negation-text cards give it a hand-6 hand-trap presence of roughly 76% when going second, which supports the interruption-resilience and board-breaking reads. Closing power comes from 3000-3500 ATK Synchro boss monsters in the Extra Deck. Score is not driven by Dominus popularity or by averaging card scores. The list is over the copy limit for four cards, so under the rubric's legality rule it gets a structural-only capped score. The empty side deck and the missing combo, matchup and win-rate data keep confidence Low. Because only 9 of 70 cards carry the exact Dominus name, engine coherence is an open question, not a settled strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-3); illegal-list cap (0). Final formula: Structural 57 (Midrange weights); no dated meta, so Meta is provisional. 0.80*57 + 0.20*40 = 53.6; context modifiers -11 → 42.6; Illegal-deck cap applied → 30 (structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score).

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

• Archetype core is almost always present in the opening hand (archetype-core group ≈ 0.997 in hand 5)
• Eleven hand traps plus Droll and Effect Veiler give strong going-second disruption
• Layered end-board interaction from Verdict, Purge, Impulse and Bastion/Shatranga text
• High-ATK Synchro bosses (3000-3500) close games

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: four cards exceed their TCG copy limits
• Low exact-name archetype purity (12.9%) across Dominus, Angelechy, Mulcharmy and Hyperion
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No combo, win-rate, tournament or matchup data
• Many off-archetype tech and hand-trap slots compete for the same space

Critical choke points

• Angelechy starters (Opening to e4, Problem, Strategy Score) are needed for the Extra Deck engine; each 3-copy starter is about 25% likely per opening hand
• Over-limit Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Foolish Burial Goods and Droll must be cut to reach a legal list

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and size rules; Four copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, Foolish Burial Goods, Dominus Impulse, Droll & Lock Bird); Card stats and text for the Synchro bosses; Archetype spread and 12.9% exact-name purity
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, hand-trap and archetype-core probabilities; Hand-trap interruption resilience and going-second read; Engine conflict and resource-economy reads from card text
• Provisional: Median output and matchup/format fit (no boards or meta sample); Side-deck adaptability (no side cards)
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal as submitted; normal Final Contextual scoring does not apply no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck supplied (0 Side cards) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
