Dinomorphia Deck #772057 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Dinomorphia Kentregina or Rexterm (4000 and 3000 ATK) and close through the board after trap-based interaction; Supreme King Z-ARC, Evolzar Laggia and Crystal Clear Wing as flex boss monsters from the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dinomorphia Therizia or Fossil Dig/Pot of Duality line, set Dinomorphia traps, and hold Solemn-family negates for the opponent's first Summon or Spell/Trap activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Artifact Lancea, Droll & Lock Bird) and Solemn Judgment/Strike to stop the opponent's first board, then fuse a boss from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Dinomorphia Diplos and Therizia recover monsters from the GY through trap banishes, while Trap Holic and Dinomorphia Domain recycle Normal Traps
• After siding: Not supported: the deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system and not as an average of its cards. Its core engine is reliably accessible: Dinomorphia archetype cards make up 28 copies, giving about a 97% chance of at least one in an opening hand of 5, and Dinomorphia Therizia alone has about a 24% chance of appearing in a going-first hand (Inferred). Its interaction density is high, with 20 negation-text cards and 37 removal-text cards, mostly Solemn-family negates and Dinomorphia traps. Conversion is the weak point: 37 of 57 main-deck cards are Trap Cards, many of which need a Dinomorphia monster or half-LP payment to do anything, so brick risk is high and the realistic board output is unmeasured (no combos supplied). Popularity and archetype usage (Therizia in 100% of archetype decks) confirm the list is real, but did not add points on their own. The deck is capped low because it is Illegal: Dominus Impulse runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2, so this score is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Control, with Toolbox as the secondary; Control weights used for the Structural score. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no Side Deck (-3); no_combo_evidence (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(47.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + ContextModifiers(-12) ≈ 45 before cap; capped to 33 as theoretical/structural-only. Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Archetype core is consistent: P(at least 1 core card in opening 5) ≈ 0.97
• Dense negation and removal layers, including 4 Solemn-family negates, Iron Thunder, Gravedigger's Trap Hole and Dinomorphia Intact/Sonic
• Extra Deck offers several 4000-ATK or boss options with some flex

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Dominus Impulse exceeds its copy limit
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• 37 of 57 main-deck cards are Trap Cards, with high brick risk on hands lacking a Dinomorphia monster
• Heavy LP-payment dependence; many effects only work at 2000 LP or less
• Low archetype purity (32.4%) with many generic and off-archetype staples

Critical choke points

• Dominus Impulse over the copy limit makes the list illegal until one copy is removed
• Dinomorphia Therizia and Fossil Dig are the only consistent early searches; without them the going-first hand depends on luck
• Kentregina and Rexterm are the closing threats, but only 3 copies of Kentregina are run and Rexterm is missing from the core

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Dominus Impulse runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Illegal); Main deck 57 and Extra 14 are within the OCG size rules; Side is 0 (no side deck); Composition: 37 Trap Cards, 15 Effect Monsters, 8 Fusion, 3 Xyz, 1 Link, 1 Synchro; Usage: Dinomorphia Therizia 100% inclusion, Frenzy 87.5%, Ferret Flames 87.5%
• Inferred: Consistency: P(>=1 archetype core in opening 5) ≈ 0.97 (hypergeometric); Brick risk is high because Dinomorphia traps are dead without a Dinomorphia monster; Primary Control strategy from 37 Trap Cards and 20 negation-text cards; Going-first and going-second estimates from card text and probability only
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format-fit scores have no tournament or meta 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 absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
