D/D/D Deck #770716 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards (Underworld Goddess of the Closed World, Evil Twin's Trouble Sunny, A Bao A Qu) built from the Live Twin and Fiendsmith engines; Unchained recursion into Fiend Link and Fusion threats
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Live Twin Lil-la or Ki-sikil starter, search with Secret Password or Sunny's Snitch, then Link into Evil Twin monsters
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C or Red Reboot to answer the opponent's first-turn play, then rebuild through the searchers
• Recovery: Recycle the Live Twin and Lil-la monsters from the GY via Evil Twin summons, and use Unchained searches to refill
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a Live Twin starter about a third of the time going first (P(>=1 copy in a 5-card hand) = 0.34 for the three-copy starters) and has enough searchers (13 searcher-text cards, P(>=1) = 0.88) to recover that starter. Conversion is the weak link: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median scores rest on card text alone. Interaction is respectable on paper (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Dimensional Barrier, Dark Ruler No More), but the deck mixes several sub-archetypes (Live Twin, Evil Twin, Unchained, Fiendsmith, Knightmare, Fabled), so engine coherence is poor. Popularity did not earn points: the D/D/D archetype's usage stats show the list runs only 2 of 23 core cards, and the score was not built by averaging individual card scores. The Forbidden cards (Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) make the list illegal in OCG, so the score is capped and is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Combo secondary; Toolbox weights used directly for the structural score. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 43.8 raw; -12 banlist-exposure modifier gives 31.8; Illegal-deck cap applied, final 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Three-copy Live Twin starters and 13 searcher-text cards give reasonable access to the core engine
• Layered quick-effect interaction: Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Dimensional Barrier, Dark Ruler No More
• Strong end-board Link threats (3300, 3000 and 2800 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards over the copy limit
• Engine conflicts: Live Twin, Evil Twin, Unchained, Fiendsmith, Knightmare and Fabled lines compete for the same slots
• Heavy Extra Deck Link requirements with 14 distinct Extra cards
• Empty side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• The Live Twin starter opening (P(>=1) about 0.34 going first)
• Hand-trap dependence going second (P(>=1 in 6) about 0.58)
• The Forbidden-card violations must be removed before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 are legal sizes; Side 0 is within 0-15; Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden in OCG and are run at 1 copy each; Ash Blossom and Limited cards are within copy limits; Composition: 55 of 63 copies are off-archetype; 0% exact-name purity
• Inferred: Starter access from hypergeometric odds (0.34 going first); Interaction density and resilience from card text; Going-second hand-trap estimate (0.58); Engine coherence from sub-archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated meta sample
• 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 exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered
