D/D/D Deck #771949 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-3 Extra Deck boards (S-Force Mystify 2700 ATK, S-Force Justify 2600 ATK) backed by S-Force column control and Lapcewell destruction; conditional on the Forbidden cards not being in the list.; Column floodgate pressure: S-Force Dog Tag, Edge Razor and Pla-Tina restrict opposing monsters in the same column, so the opponent's board cannot easily answer the Link line.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search an S-Force monster with S-Force Signify, Bridgehead or Gravitino, then Link Summon through the S-Force Nightchaser and Nightcatcher pair toward Mystify or Justify. Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle protect the line on the opponent's turn (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C") to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Link Summons and S-Force column effects. Hand-trap density gives an Inferred going-second edge.
• Recovery: Recursion through S-Force Rappa Chiyomaru and S-Force Retroactive (return to hand and Special Summon), plus Pla-Tina revival of banished S-Force monsters. Redundant searchers (14 searcher-text cards) rebuild the hand.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan. Side adaptability is scored as a gap.

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in OCG: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden and each occupies an Extra Deck slot, so the normal Final score is capped and this result is theoretical/structural only. Structurally the deck is an S-Force Link midrange build, not a D/D/D deck: 25 of its 55 off-archetype copies are S-Force, and none are exact D/D/D names, so the archetype label is misleading. Its consistency reads as fair (about 0.90 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 cards, Inferred), and its hand-trap density (9 cards) and recursion (Rappa, Retroactive, Pla-Tina) support resilience and going-second play. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage statistics describe D/D/D, of which only 13% of core cards are present. The deck was scored as a connected system, not from an average of its card scores; no combos or win data exist, so the combo and matchup dimensions rest on text reads labeled Inferred or Provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*59 + 0.20*48 = 56.8; banlist modifier -12 gives 44.8; Illegal cap applied: score set to 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Redundant S-Force searchers (14 searcher-text cards) give a reliable opening
• Nine hand traps and several recursion routes support resilience and going-second play
• Link-3 finishers (Mystify 2700, Justify 2600) with column-based interaction

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden Extra Deck cards occupy slots and cannot be played
• Archetype label D/D/D does not match the list (0 exact copies; S-Force-centric)
• No side deck registered, so no post-side plan
• Off-plan tech and staples (Reinforcement of the Army, Crossout Designator, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Fiendsmith Engraver, Timaeus Gaze) dilute the plan

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck legality: a Forbidden card in the Extra Deck must be removed before the list is playable
• Link-3 summons depend on S-Force Nightchaser and Nightcatcher staying in the same column

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden (1 copy each, 0 legal); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Archetype composition: 0 exact D/D/D copies; 25 S-Force copies; Searcher-text group P(>=1 in 5) = 0.90; hand-trap group P(>=1 in 6) = 0.81
• Inferred: Midrange primary strategy with Stun secondary, from card text and column effects; Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric probabilities and text roles; Going-second edge from hand-trap density; Recovery routes from recursion text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit and side adaptability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck (going first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Usage statistics describe the D/D/D archetype, not this S-Force-centric list (13% of core cards present) No side deck registered Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
