Drytron Deck #771026 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual-summon Meteonis Drytron / Drytron Meteonis Draconids (5000/4000 ATK) off Drytron Alpha Thuban and Delta/Gamma/Zeta Drytron ritual bodies, then attack or hold as the board anchor.; Xyz pressure from Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, with Mulcharmy and Cyber Angel Benten as ritual/draw support.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Drytron searcher-chain (Drytron Fafnir / Nova / Nu II) to reach Meteonis Drytron, then ritual into the Draconids while holding Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, and Red Reboot as hand traps against the opponent's combo starter, then rebuild through Drytron GY recursion (Meteonis Drytron GY effect) and Ritual Summons.
• Recovery: Recover from a broken board via Drytron Nova / Alpha Thuban re-summons from GY and Mulcharmy draw pressure; depends on Drytron monsters still being in GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

This OCG Drytron list is evaluated as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core is dense (the core group has roughly a 97% chance of at least one piece in a 5-card opening hand, a proxy estimate), and the Drytron Ritual chain gives it a real route to 4000–5000 ATK boards. Interaction is layered: 16 hand-trap-tagged cards and 18 negation-text cards give it multiple answers to a going-second opponent. Its consistency is held back by off-archetype copies (exact-name purity is only 34%), 23 tech-tagged slots, and no Side Deck. Legality is the decisive problem: Triple Tactics Talent (2 copies) and F.A. Dawn Dragster (1 copy) are Forbidden in OCG, so the list is illegal as built. The score is therefore capped as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity and archetype share were not credited, because no tournament or meta data supports them.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Structural from Combo profile with Toolbox secondary, roughly 80/20; Balanced-profile check gives 52.. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no Side Deck (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*42 - 11 = 39, then the Illegal cap sets the reported score to 25 (theoretical/structural-only, not a normal final 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

• Dense Drytron engine with multiple searchers (Fafnir, Nova, Nu II, Thuban, Gamma/Zeta/Delta).
• Ritual boss path to Meteonis DA Draconids (5000 ATK) and Meteonis Draconids (4000 ATK).
• Layered interaction: 16 hand-trap-tagged cards and 18 negation-text cards.

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden OCG cards.
• No Side Deck registered.
• Low exact-name archetype purity (34%) with many off-archetype and tech slots.

Critical choke points

• Meteonis Drytron is a single-copy starter for the Draconids line.
• Drytron searchers are one-copy and Limited cards in the Ritual route.
• Any single Forbidden card in the deck makes the whole list illegal.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Triple Tactics Talent (2) and F.A. Dawn Dragster (1) are over the Forbidden limit.; Card text and stats for all 46 distinct cards from the evidence pack.; Exact-name archetype purity is 34.3%.
• Observed: Archetype usage data shows Drytron Alpha Thuban, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Meteonis Drytron as 80–100% core inclusions.
• Inferred: Core-group opening-hand availability (about 0.97 proxy) and per-starter probabilities.; Structural dimension scores D1–D14 from text and composition.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample or tournament link exists.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates. No Side Deck is recorded, so D12 has no post-side data. Meta Power is Provisional.
