Dragunity Deck #772244 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Chaos Angel, Ignister Prominence) reached through Pendulum and Link/Synchro plays, with Dragon-themed pressure on the board.; Hand-trap-backed disruption (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird) that stalls the opponent until the board is ahead.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with searcher and Pendulum Summon lines (Performapal and Odd-Eyes sets) to place scales and reach a Link or Synchro boss, keeping one hand trap as protection; the core Dragunity line is largely absent (2 exact copies), so the opener depends on generic Pendulum starters.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2 to 3 hand traps and negate the opponent's first engine (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird), then convert the remaining resources into a Pendulum or Link board.
• Recovery: Rebuild through searchers and the Extra Deck Pendulum monsters that return from the GY (Odd-Eyes Arc, Odd-Eyes Persona, Performapal Gentrude), as text suggests but no recorded boards confirm.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence; OCG does not support a side here.

Why it scores here

The deck's strength is its interaction suite: 12 hand traps and about 22 negation-text and 23 removal-text cards give it a credible going-second plan (P of at least one hand trap in 6 cards is about 0.79, Inferred). Its engine access is weaker than the name suggests: only 2 of 55 main cards are exact Dragunity, the Dragunity core (Georgius) is absent, and the list spreads across Odd-Eyes, Performapal, Magician, Mulcharmy and Pendulum sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 2.9%), so consistency is Inferred and moderate. No recorded combos, guides or tournament results exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates and were not averaged from card scores. The list is also illegal in OCG: 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2, which caps the final score low and makes this a structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; no single strategy dominates). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-20); No combo or guide evidence (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + Modifiers, capped low because the deck is Illegal (structural-only read): 0.80*53.1 + 0.20*40 - 22 = 28.5, rounded to 28

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• 12 hand traps with P about 0.79 of at least one in a going-second 6-card hand
• Dense negation and removal text across the Main Deck (22 and 23 cards)
• Multiple Extra Deck bosses at 2500 to 3000+ ATK (Odd-Eyes Absolute, Vortex, Chaos Angel)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a limit of 2
• Exact-archetype purity of 2.9%, so the Dragunity name does not carry the engine
• No side deck and no recorded combos, guides or results to validate the plan

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale setup for the Odd-Eyes and Performapal starters (most openers need a specific scale pair)
• Link and Synchro enablers for the Extra Deck bosses, with few redundant routes
• Hand-trap timing on the going-second turn, where one blank hand removes the plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2 (OCG); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 against OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15); 12 hand-trap cards, 22 negation-text cards, 23 removal-text cards (role-tag counts); Exact-name archetype purity 2.9%; archetype core of 7 copies
• Observed: Usage stats: Ash Blossom 70%, Droll & Lock Bird 70%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 60% core inclusion
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opener) about 0.92 and P(at least one hand trap in going-second 6) about 0.79 (hypergeometric); Going-second interaction strength and Pendulum-driven openers
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample or 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 record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates no side deck registered, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
