True Draco Deck #771051 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute-Summon True Draco monsters (Master Peace 2950 ATK, Dinomight 2500, Ignis 2400) behind Continuous Spell/Trap backrow, then close with direct and board-based attacks.; Sphere Mode steal via 3-Tribute Normal Summon, then End Phase control shift.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Draco Awakening or Pot of Duality for a True Draco monster, Tribute a Continuous Spell/Trap to Tribute Summon it, and keep a negation or Monarchs Erupt up.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Monarchs Erupt, Apophis and Light/Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror as interaction, then rebuild through True Draco Heritage and Disciples recursion.
• Recovery: Disciples of the True Dracophoenix and True King's Return recur True Draco cards from the GY; Draco Awakening and Upstart Goblin refill the hand.
• After siding: No Side Deck exists, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a True Draco monster in its starting hand: 25 archetype-core copies give a hypergeometric P(at least one core card in a 5-card opener) of about 0.96, though the estimate is Inferred. Its engine converts through Tribute Summon chains and Continuous backrow, with 16 monsters and 16 negation/removal texts providing real interaction. Recursion (Disciples, King's Return, Heritage) and draw (Awakening, Pot, Upstart Goblin) keep it going through disruption. The score is built on the system's consistency, interaction and recovery, not on True Draco being a popular archetype and not on averaging card scores. It is held down by 33 off-archetype copies, dead or narrow cards (Non-Fusion Area, Shadow- and Light-Imprisoning Mirror), zero Extra Deck use and no Side Deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary Toolbox; Control contributes interaction weighting only, not separately blended. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-2); Dead or narrow backrow (-3); Generic trap density (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense True Draco core (25 copies) with high opening-hand access
• Multiple recursion routes for True Draco cards
• Broad negation and removal coverage from Monarchs Erupt, Apocalypse, King's Return and Skill Drain
• Legal list with no banlist exposure beyond single-copy Limited cards

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck and no Extra Deck, so no adaptation or Extra-Deck coverage
• Several narrow or dead cards: Non-Fusion Area, Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror, Light-Imprisoning Mirror, Lose 1 Turn
• 33 off-archetype copies and 21 traps dilute the engine
• Tribute-heavy lines with 3-Tribute Sphere Mode demand precise sequencing

Critical choke points

• Continuous Spell/Trap Tribute fodder: several Tribute Summons need a Continuous backrow card on the field
• Skill Drain costs 1000 LP, a real cost in a long game

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck legality: 55 cards, 0 Extra, 0 Side, Legal with Limited copies at 1; Composition: 16 monsters, 18 spells, 21 traps; attribute and archetype counts; Hypergeometric probabilities from the Main Deck
• Observed: Archetype usage: 10 core cards present, 100% of tracked core
• Inferred: Opening-hand functionality and brick estimate; Strategy classification (Toolbox primary, Control secondary); Interaction quality from card text; Combo-ceiling and median reads from text, since no boards were recorded
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
