Armed Dragon Deck #772279 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Union board of ABC and Armed Dragon monsters (A-to-Z-Dragon Buster Cannon, Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon, ABC-Dragon Buster) built from LIGHT Machines and Dragons; Ojama Delta Hurricane!! wipe backed by the Ojama Trio, with Knightmare links as board breaking
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or draw toward a LIGHT Machine base (V-Tiger Jet, X-Head Cannon, B-Buster Drake, C-Crush Wyvern) and Union-equip it to build toward a Fusion summon; Ojamagic, Ojamatch and Ojama Blue are the main searchers
• Turn 2 (going second): Ojama Duo for tokens and Pot of Sloth or Upstart Goblin for card flow, then Ojama Delta Hurricane!! once the Trio is face-up; no hand traps, so interaction depends on board presence
• Recovery: Ojamagic and Ojama Blue recover the Trio from Deck and GY, and Ojama Pajama can banish Ojama cards from hand, field or GY to protect Armed Dragon and Fusion monsters
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; any adaptation in best-of-3 is unavailable

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably into searchers: about 90% of opening hands hold at least one of the 14 searcher-text cards, so it can start a line. Engine access is weak beyond that. Most of the Armed Dragon and ABC pieces are single copies, so the specific Thunder LV ladder or Union base a line needs is present in only about 12.5% of opening hands. Converting into a Fusion or Union board is plausible but depends on several separate pieces, and recorded combo data is absent, so the ceiling is text-only inference. The Ojama Trio and Delta Hurricane give a real defensive wipe, but the deck has no hand traps and no side deck, so it is weak going second and cannot adapt across games. Popularity did not earn points: the usage statistics show this is an off-core Armed Dragon build (1 of 12 core cards present), and the score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the system, not from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Off-core archetype / engine conflict (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

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

• Dense searcher density (14 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to a first action
• Ojama Trio plus Delta Hurricane is a real board wipe that can stabilise a going-first board
• Fusion and Link endpoints such as A-to-Z-Dragon Buster Cannon and Armed Dragon Catapult Cannon give high closing power
• Legal and complete list with no copy-limit violations

Weaknesses

• Three engines (Ojama, ABC, Armed Dragon) with 18.2% exact-name purity, so pieces rarely line up
• Most engine pieces are single copies, so specific needs are often missing
• No hand traps and no side deck, which weakens going-second play and best-of-3 adaptation
• Off-core for the Armed Dragon archetype (1 of 12 core cards present)

Critical choke points

• Armed Dragon Thunder LV ladder: one copy each, so the LV3→LV5→LV7→LV10 chain depends on a single card
• LIGHT Machine Union base: several Fusions and Unions need one specific LIGHT Machine on board
• Ojama Delta Hurricane!! needs Ojama Green, Yellow and Black face-up, so it needs the Trio on field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in the OCG format with 40 Main, 15 Extra and 0 Side cards; S:P Little Knight is Limited with 1 copy run and 1 legal copy; Archetype exact-name purity is 18.2%; Only 1 of 12 usage-stat core cards is present (Pile Armed Dragon)
• Inferred: Searcher access P ≈ 0.90 in hand5; Single-copy engine pieces at P ≈ 0.125 each; Interaction and combo ceiling reads from card text; Consistency and resilience scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup/format fit (D13)
• 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 registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
