Predaplant Deck #771442 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large Fusion monsters (Chimera, Eyes Restrict, Albaz Dragon lines) from Polymerization-family spells and Fusion-enabling monsters; Recurring Fusion access through searcher monsters (Gazelle, Nightmare Apprentice, Berfomet, Cornfield Coatl) that add Chimera Fusion or Illusion monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a searcher monster, add Chimera Fusion or a Polymerization-family spell, then Fusion Summon a Chimera or Eyes Restrict Fusion (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle and Haunted Mansion, Nibiru, Maxx C) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild the Fusion chain (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers and GY-based recursion (Chimera Fusion and Mirror Swordknight effects) rebuild the starter after a hand-trap or negate (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on its system: a Fusion-based engine built from 18 searcher-text cards, Polymerization-family access (Polymerization, Super Polymerization, Instant Fusion, Branded Fusion), and six hand traps. Going first, the searchers give a high chance of at least one searcher in the opening five (about 0.89 by the evidence pack), but Fusion access depends on only a few spell copies, so the opener is only moderately reliable (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part: Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Maxx C and Nibiru give layered disruption on the opponent's turn. The deck cannot earn a normal final score because it is Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and it runs 17 Extra Deck cards against a limit of 15. Popularity is not counted as power. The Predaplant archetype usage stats only confirm that the core Predaplant cards are mostly absent (about 1.4 percent exact-name purity), so no points were earned from them, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51.2, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal legality cap (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51.2 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 36, then capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power provisional and excluded

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• 18 searcher-text cards give high odds of a searcher in the opening hand (about 0.89)
• Six hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle and Haunted Mansion, Nibiru, Maxx C) give layered interruption
• Several Fusion access routes (Polymerization, Super Polymerization, Instant Fusion, Branded Fusion) reduce single-card dependence

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run once
• Illegal: Extra Deck is 17 cards against a limit of 15
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No combo boards, guides or tournament data to confirm any line
• Heavy Fusion dependence on spell-based access with thin copy counts

Critical choke points

• Polymerization-family spell access (Polymerization, Super Polymerization, Instant Fusion, Branded Fusion) is needed for most Fusion lines
• Albion is Forbidden, so the Branded line that depends on it cannot be run legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run once (legal copies 0); Extra Deck is 17 cards against a limit of 15; Main Deck is 52 cards, within the 40-60 range; Super Polymerization and Ash Blossom are at their Semi-Limited copy limit of 2; Instant Fusion and Branded Fusion are Limited and run at 1 copy; Instant Fusion is in 65.6 percent of the Predaplant usage sample
• Inferred: Searcher and Polymerization-family consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction quality from hand-trap and removal card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied The deck is Illegal (Forbidden Albion and over-limit Extra Deck), so the score is theoretical/structural-only No Side Deck is present, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured Deck title is null
