Rose Dragon Deck #771614 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz/Synchro boss from the Extra Deck (Bystial Dis Pater 3500, Ruddy Rose Dragon 3200, Chasma 3000, Swordsoul 3000, Divine Arsenal 3000) reached through Dragon Ruler discard-to-summon chains; Disaster, Dragon Ruler of All Apocalypses mass-banish of the opponent's field and GY, and Black Rose Dragon field destruction
• Turn 1 (going first): Discard Burner, Reactan, Stream or Lightning (each with a second Dragon or matching-attribute monster) to Special Summon Blaster, Redox, Tidal or Tempest, or search with Spectral, then Xyz or Synchro into a 3000+ boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the Extra Deck quick effects (Eclipse, Arms of Genex Return Zero, Bystial Dis Pater, Ruddy Rose Dragon) as negations when materials and GY/banish costs are available, and use Here There Be Dragons from the GY or banishment for removal
• Recovery: Re-summon Dragon Rulers from hand or GY (Blaster, Redox, Tidal, Tempest are GY/hand-summonable), rebuild with Sacred Sword of Seven Stars and Sandwich Day draws, and recycle Here There Be Dragons from the GY
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency comes from a Dragon Ruler discard-to-summon network rather than from any single card: 11 chain starters (Burner, Reactan, Stream and Lightning at 2 copies each, plus 3 Spectral) give roughly a 0.77 chance of at least one in an opening 5 (Inferred), and each starter leads into a higher-level Dragon Ruler that can be summoned again from the hand or GY. Resilience and resource recovery are the strongest parts of the system, since Blaster, Tidal, Tempest and Redox return from GY or hand, Here There Be Dragons recurs from the GY, and Sacred Sword and Sandwich Day draw. The closing power is real, with several 3000+ ATK Extra Deck bosses and Disaster as a mass-banish finisher. The score is held back by a self-conflict: Testudo erat Numen stops both players from Special Summoning monsters with 1800+ ATK, which blocks most of this deck's own Dragon Ruler and Extra Deck bosses, and by the empty side deck. Popularity and archetype share were not scored, and card scores were not averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60.4, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Engine conflict (Testudo erat Numen) (-3); No side deck (-2); Redundant Dragon Ruler chain (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-3) = 0.80*60.4 + 0.20*55 - 3 ≈ 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.77 · 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

• Dragon Ruler chain gives multiple starters and redundant summon routes
• GY and hand recursion of several Dragon Rulers and Here There Be Dragons
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses with mass-banish and negation options
• Full Extra Deck with no wasted slots

Weaknesses

• Testudo erat Numen blocks the deck's own 1800+ ATK summons
• No hand traps or main-deck interaction
• No side deck
• Low exact-name Rose purity and missing core cards (Black Rose Garden, Vengeful Witch)

Critical choke points

• Dragon-type monster needed as the second card for most chain starters
• Testudo can freeze the deck's own summon line
• Single Extra Deck boss routes once the Xyz materials are spent

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 45 and Extra 15 are within OCG size limits; Side 0 is legal; Every card runs at or below its legal copy limit; all are Unlimited; Extra Deck is 10 Xyz and 5 Synchro; Copy histogram 9 singles, 6 doubles, 8 triples; Testudo erat Numen text restricts Special Summons of 1800+ ATK
• Inferred: Chain-starter opening-hand estimate ≈ 0.77; Testudo blocks the deck's own Xyz and Synchro summons; Consistency and brick-rate reads; Closing and recursion reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second and matchup rates unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Inconsistency: Ruddy Rose Dragon (40139997) is in the Extra Deck list at 1 copy, but usage statistics reports it as not in this deck; this evaluation uses the card list
