Rose Dragon Deck #772177 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from Black Rose Dragon, Ruddy Rose Dragon and Bramble Rose Dragon, with Plant recursion from the GY; Plant-based Synchro and Link boards that recur monsters through Rose Dragon effects and Black Rose Garden
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Rose Dragon or Vengeful Witch starter, search with Rose Princess, Red Rose Dragon or Roxrose Dragon, and build toward a Black Rose Dragon or Bramble Synchro
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Effect Veiler on the opponent's first lines, then Synchro through the board with the recursion engine
• Recovery: Recycle Plant monsters from the GY through Rose Lover, Rose Girl, Dark Verger, Basal Rose Shoot and Blooming of the Darkest Rose
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck has a real and redundant starter set: 6 copies of 3-of White Rose Dragon and Vengeful Witch, 12 searcher-text cards, and roughly 79% odds of at least one searcher in the opening 5 cards, so it usually gets a functional T1 (Inferred). Its interaction is layered, with 6 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards and Infinite Impermanence, which gives it a reasonable answer to a first opposing line when going second. The Synchro and Link Extra Deck (13 Synchro, 2 Link) and Rose Dragon recursion help it keep pressure after disruption, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates and are scored conservatively. The score comes from consistency, recursion and interaction on the system, not from Rose Dragon being a popular archetype, and not from averaging the card scores. The empty side deck caps the adaptability score and costs a few points in the final formula.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 80 / Combo 20 (approximated by the Midrange profile with combo emphasis on D3 and D4). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: No side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*55 + 0.20*55 - 3 = 52

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.51 · 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 starters and searchers give a high chance of a functional opening hand
• Layered interaction from hand traps and negation text
• Plant recursion gives several routes to continue after disruption
• Legal list with no violations; copy counts match the banlist

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates
• Many single-copy utility slots add brick risk
• Usage stats mark Ruddy Rose Dragon as missing even though the card list runs 2 copies in the Extra Deck, so the core-card read is unreliable

Critical choke points

• Black Rose Dragon and the Plant Synchro chain depend on a few Tuners and the GY recursion monsters
• Going first, the White Rose Dragon and Vengeful Witch starter lines depend on drawing one of 6 copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status with 47 main and 15 extra cards, no violations; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within the legal limit; Synchro and Link breakdown of 13 and 2 in the Extra Deck
• Inferred: Starter and searcher access probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Recursion as a continuation route after disruption
• Provisional: Archetype placement and meta fit, since no tournament link or dated sample exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied The usage statistic for Ruddy Rose Dragon reads 0 copies in deck, but the card list shows 2 in the Extra Deck; the pipeline appears to skip Extra Deck cards
