D/D/D Deck #771743 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-scale D/D board that Special Summons D/D/D Extra Deck monsters (Machinex, Abyss Ragnarok, Deus Machinex, Gilgamesh) into a large Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link board; Fusion or Synchro D/D/D monsters (Genghis, Siegfried, Bright Armageddon) closing through direct attack and large ATK
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (D/D Count Surveyor, D/D Savant Kepler, D/D Gryphon or Dark Contract with the Gate), set two Pendulum Scales, and Pendulum Summon into an Extra Deck line
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Dark Contract searches
• Recovery: Revive from the Graveyard with D/D Necro Slime, D/D Lance Soldier and Dark Contract with the Zero King, and search again with Dark Contract with the Gate
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: the 25-card D/D core is present in roughly 96 percent of opening hands (Inferred, hypergeometric), and three to four searchers give it a real chance to open a Pendulum engine. Interaction is the strongest part, with 10 hand traps and 17 negation effects spread over Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Impermanence, which gives it resilience on the opponent's turn. Conversion from starter to Extra Deck board is plausible but unverified, because no recorded boards exist and the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats confirm the core cards are commonly run, but they do not establish that this list is strong. The score is capped because the list is illegal (Extra Deck over 15, two Semi-Limited cards at 3 copies), so it reads as a theoretical, structural-only evaluation, and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with interaction-led secondary; the Midrange profile was used for the structural score. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: No dated meta: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51.65 + 0.20*42 - 6 = 43.7; Illegal cap applied: min(43.7, 30) = 30. Theoretical/structural-only; not a normal Final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Core D/D engine is present in about 96 percent of opening hands
• Dense interaction: 10 hand traps and 17 negation effects
• Multiple searchers and Graveyard revival for recovery
• Extra Deck closers reach 2800 to 4000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Extra Deck over 15 and two Semi-Limited cards at 3 copies
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Off-archetype dilution: 26 Mulcharmy and Dominus copies
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale setup: the first Pendulum Summon depends on two live Pendulum Scales
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle as the main answers to opposing engines
• Dark Contract searches as the only route to a second searcher

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Extra Deck 16 exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are run at 3 copies against a limit of 2; Card text and stats for all 54 Main and 16 Extra cards; Archetype usage: the D/D core cards show 59 to 68 percent inclusion
• Observed: No recorded boards exist (combo data total 0)
• Inferred: Starter opening probabilities (hypergeometric); Brick rate and interaction quality from text; Going-second hand-trap coverage
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link
• 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 for going first or second, matchups, or brick and starter rates Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck is run, so D12 cannot be measured
