Dominus Deck #772254 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual Summon LIGHT Dragon/Warrior monsters (Saffira, Sauravis, Skull Guardian) through the Voiceless Voice Ritual engine and convert into 2500+ ATK boards with Extra Deck Synchro and Fusion beaters; Fusion and Synchro beatdown (Albion, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Elder Entity N'tss, Chaos Angel) when the Ritual line is stopped, and Herald-based Synchro Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Diviner of the Herald, Lo, Barrier of the Voiceless Voice or Blessing into a Ritual Summon of Saffira or Skull Guardian, protected by Infinite Impermanence and Dominus Purge; the Extra Deck Synchro/Fusion plan is available only if the illegal Albion is removed
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ash Blossom and Fallen and Virtuous to slow the opponent, then rebuild a Ritual board the next turn; hand traps carry the second-turn plan
• Recovery: Blessing of the Voiceless Voice and Radiance of the Voiceless Voice return Ritual monsters and spells from the GY or banish, then Lo and Prayers re-enable the Ritual Summon route
• After siding: Not evaluable: the Side Deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists in the submitted list

Why it scores here

Scored as a system, not as an average of card scores. The Voiceless Voice Ritual engine (Lo, Barrier, Blessing, Radiance, Prayers, with Saffira and Skull Guardian as payoffs) gives the deck a plausible T1-T2 plan, and the hypergeometric numbers (about 0.34 for at least one copy of a 3-copy card in a 5-card opening hand) support a moderately consistent starter density (Inferred). Interaction is real but thin on the board: Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Purge, Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C cover the common cases. The deck cannot be scored normally because it is Illegal: it runs Borreload Savage Dragon and Albion the Branded Dragon, both Forbidden in the OCG list, which caps it into a structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points: Maxx C and Infinite Impermanence are core cards, but the archetype share and usage stats do not make the list strong or legal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: structural-only read. Structural 48 with 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 46.4, then -12 banlist-exposure modifier = 34 (Meta provisional)

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

• Ritual engine with 3-copy Voiceless Voice support and LIGHT Ritual beaters (Saffira, Sauravis, Skull Guardian)
• Strong hand-trap and negation density: 7 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards
• Compact Main Deck with 21 distinct cards and consistent 3-copy starters
• Good Extra Deck coverage across Synchro, Fusion, Link and Xyz with 15 slots used

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards (Borreload, Albion) each run at 1 copy
• Empty Side Deck with no post-side plan
• Low exact archetype purity (7.3%), so the Dominus and Voiceless Voice lines compete for space
• No combo boards or guides, so the deck's real output is unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Lo, the Prayers of the Voiceless Voice is required for most Ritual payoff lines; losing it to a single removal or negation breaks the engine
• Albion the Branded Dragon is an illegal Fusion beater, so the Branded line is unavailable until it is removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Borreload Savage Dragon and Albion the Branded Dragon are Forbidden in OCG and run at 1 copy each; Main Deck 40 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within size rules; Side Deck is empty; Copy histogram 9 singles, 5 pairs, 7 triples; exact archetype purity 7.3%
• Inferred: Ritual engine gives a plausible T1-T2 plan from text; Hypergeometric starter access of about 0.34 for 3-copy cards (5-card hand); Interaction density from 7 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance is unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated sample
