Crimson Dragon Deck #770920 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes and Primite board presence converted into Synchro/Fusion boards (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon) with Blue-Eyes White Dragon as the central beater; Hand-trap-protected Synchro pressure (Lightstorm Dragon, Stardust Sifr, Cosmic Blazar) once the opponent's interaction is spent
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 1 Tuner (Sage with Eyes of Blue / Maiden of White / Effect Veiler) into a Mulcharmy or Primite starter, search with Sage or Primite Dragon Ether Beryl, and hold Ash Blossom / Infinite Impermanence / Evenly Matched for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects and Synchro Summons
• Recovery: Pot of Sloth and Pot of Prosperity, plus Mulcharmy draws and Mistaken Arrest, rebuild card count after a successful interruption; Blue-Eyes White Dragon can be recycled through Wishes for Eyes of Blue and Roar of the Blue-Eyed Dragons
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; a best-of-3 build would need one before it is competitive

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Level 1 Tuner or Primite starter (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.79, Inferred) and converts it into Synchro or Fusion boards built around Blue-Eyes and Primite support. Its strongest scoring area is interaction: 15 hand traps and a Limited floodgate (Skill Drain) give high going-second hand-trap coverage (P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand) ≈ 0.85, Inferred). Recorded combo data is absent, so floor, median and ceiling rest on card text only and are scored with low confidence. The list is illegal (3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2), so the final score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only. Popularity and the archetype's usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible, but they did not raise the score, and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: copy_limit_violation (-4); illegal_list_cap (-18). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(54.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-4) = 48.3; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.79 · 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 hand-trap suite (15 cards) with strong going-second coverage
• Multiple negation layers with recurring Tuner starters
• High-ATK boss options across Blue-Eyes, Primite and Synchro routes
• Strong card draw (Pot of Sloth, Pot of Prosperity, Mulcharmy)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• No side deck registered
• Engine split across several archetypes, which dilutes consistency
• No recorded combos or win-rate data

Critical choke points

• Level 1 Tuner starters (Sage, Maiden, Effect Veiler) for Synchro access
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon as the boss card for Fusion and Synchro routes
• Limited single-copy cards (Droll, Skill Drain, Pot of Prosperity, Bystial Magnamhut)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 58 main / 15 extra / 0 side; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Restricted cards: Droll & Lock Bird, Pot of Prosperity, Skill Drain, Bystial Magnamhut each at 1 copy (Limited); Card text and archetype spread from the evidence pack
• Observed: Usage statistics show the core set at 66.7% present (10 of 15 core cards)
• Inferred: Structural score 54 from weighted dimensions; Hand-trap and searcher probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction and going-second read from card text
• Provisional: Meta power null; archetype meta-share and tournament reliability are unknown
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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 and starter rates) No side deck registered (side_count 0) Usage statistics and the card list disagree on Crimson Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Spirit with Eyes of Blue and Hieratic Seal of the Heavenly Spheres Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
