Rose Dragon Deck #771297 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Control, Midrange
• 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: Synchro beaters (Red Dragon Archfiend 3000 ATK, Dark End Dragon, Colossal Fighter, Black Rose Dragon) backed by removal and negation traps; no single reliable finisher is evidenced.; Infernity and Archfiend card advantage (Infernity Archfiend draw trigger, Allure of Darkness, Jar of Greed) feeding Synchro material.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dark Grepher, Infernity Necromancer or Infernity Archfiend starter, search or draw toward a Level 5+ tuner or a Synchro line, and hold Mirror Force or Solemn Judgment for the first real threat.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand for Bottomless Trap Hole, Dimensional Prison and Mirror Force against the opponent's first summon, then Synchro over the surviving board. Illegal cards must be removed before this plan can be played in OCG.
• Recovery: Recover through the graveyard: Dark Grepher and Infernity Archfiend recursion, Destiny HERO - Malicious and Plaguespreader Zombie from the GY, and Call of the Haunted to reuse a monster from the GY.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. It has real interaction density (29 removal-text cards, 7 negation-text cards, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Dimensional Prison, Solemn Judgment) that earns the highest dimension, and it has a plausible Synchro finisher package (Red Dragon Archfiend, Dark End Dragon, Colossal Fighter). The engine is weak: only 1 of 69 main-deck cards carries the Rose Dragon name, none of the five usage-stat core cards (Roxrose Dragon, Black Rose Garden, Vengeful Witch, Red Rose Dragon, Ruddy Rose Dragon) is present, and the three starter families are unconnected. The list also runs two Forbidden cards (Giant Trunade, Return from the Different Dimension), so the rubric caps it as an illegal theoretical read. Popularity earned no points: the archetype is niche and the deck has no tournament link. Because the deck has no side deck and no recorded boards, consistency and conversion remain Inferred and Low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden cards run) (-8); archetype core absent (-2); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap applied. Unrounded: 0.80*42 + 0.20*30 = 39.6; context modifiers total -12 gives 27.6; capped at 25 because Forbidden cards are run. Meta is null (Provisional). Theoretical/structural-only read.

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

• Broad removal and negation coverage across both turns (Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Dimensional Prison, Solemn Judgment, Bottomless Trap Hole)
• Multiple Synchro finishers with real ATK (Red Dragon Archfiend 3000, Dark End Dragon 2600, Colossal Fighter 2800)
• Card advantage from Jar of Greed x3 and Infernity Archfiend draw trigger

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden cards in the Main Deck make the list illegal in OCG
• No side deck at all (0 of 15 slots)
• Engine families (Rose Dragon, Infernity/Archfiend, Grepher, Stardust) are not connected; almost no archetype core is present
• Trap-heavy Main Deck (28 traps) with no hand traps increases brick risk

Critical choke points

• Starter density: each 3-copy starter is about 25% to appear in the opening 5-card hand
• Forbidden cards must be removed before any real OCG play; the rating is capped until they are
• Tuner availability: only one Tuner Monster (Plaguespreader Zombie) in the Main Deck supports 14 Synchro cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG: Giant Trunade and Return from the Different Dimension are Forbidden and run at 1 copy each; Main Deck 55 cards, Extra Deck 15 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Only 1 of 69 off-archetype copies carries the exact Rose Dragon name (purity 1.4%); None of the five usage-stat core cards is present in the deck
• Inferred: Starter P(at least 1 in 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy card; searcher group ≈ 0.32; Brick rate is high because of the 28 traps and the absence of hand traps; Interaction quality is high from the removal/negation text read; Pilotability is low because of the number of archetypes and Synchro steps
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link is supplied
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied The deck has no side deck, so D12 has no performance data
