Legality

Main 40 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Unclear from evidence: True Draco boss monsters (Dinomight Knight, Master Peace, Majesty Maiden, Ignis Heat) convert board presence into attacks and removal; Monarch/Domain-enabled Tribute Summon pressure, with Draco Awakening and Disciples recursion as backup
  • Turn 1 (going first): Search (17 searcher-text cards) into a True Draco Tribute Summon backed by a Continuous Spell/Trap, then use removal traps (True Draco Apocalypse, True King's Return) to clear blockers
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hand-to-board through the searchers and Tribute Summons; the negation text (The Great Gallant Bandit, Skill Drain, Monarchs Erupt) is the only answer to a set-up board
  • Recovery: Draco Awakening and Disciples of the True Dracophoenix shuffle or recycle True Draco cards from the GY; the deck has no hand traps to recover with
  • After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: three copies of Card of Demise against a limit of one, so it gets a capped structural-only score, not a normal final score. Its consistency comes from 17 searcher-text cards (about 95% chance of at least one in an opening 5 by hypergeometric estimate), which is the main reason D1 and D2 score in the low 60s. Conversion and floor scores stay low because there are no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. Interaction is mostly negation and removal text from roughly five negation cards and twenty removal-text cards, with no hand traps and one floodgate (Skill Drain, which costs 1000 LP). The score does not come from Monarch being a known archetype or from averaging card scores; it reflects the system as a whole, with the copy-limit violation applied as a -12 modifier.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(>=1 searcher in 5) ~0.95 and P(>=1 of any 3-copy engine card in 5) ~0.34; no usage-stat core to compare against (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 55 Hand quality is inferred from 40 cards with 19 distinct, and the 3-copy spread on engine cards is likely acceptable; no real brick data (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 35 No parseable boards in combos_evidence, so the ceiling is a text-only read of True Draco Tribute Summon plus removal chains (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 30 No median or power distribution available; floor is estimated from searcher density and summon-dependent lines, which is weak without combos (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 40 Recursion exists (Draco Awakening, Disciples of the True Dracophoenix) but there is no second independent line for when the main starter is stopped (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 45 Recovery depends on GY recycling and draw text (Heritage, Disciples, Time-Tearing Morganite); no resource data exists (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 42 Interaction is 20 removal-text and about 5 negation-text cards with 0 hand traps and 1 floodgate (Skill Drain); quality is text-based only (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 35 Going-second board breaking depends on negation (Gallant Bandit, Monarchs Erupt) and removal traps; there are no going-second boards to measure (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 38 Closing power relies on True Draco boss monsters at 2300-2950 ATK plus Heritage-type draw; no end-board data (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 55 40 main cards with 19 distinct, and 7 cards at 3 copies, so the list is reasonably compact but spread across several engines (Verified count, Inferred quality)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 30 Extra Deck is empty (0 cards), which is intentional for the Monarch Erupt/Domain enablers, so extra-deck coverage is zero by design (Verified)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No Side Deck is present (0 cards), so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 30 No tournament link and no archetype usage stats, so matchup and format fit cannot be measured (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 50 Multi-step Tribute Summons, chain-dependent removal, and a 3-archetype engine mix make the deck demanding to pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 41.6, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-12); Illegal, so reported as theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

  • 17 searcher-text cards give high opening-hand access to the engine
  • Three True Draco boss monsters (2300-2950 ATK) with Tribute Summon routes
  • Two removal-trap engines (True Draco Apocalypse, True King's Return) that clear blockers
  • Compact 40-card main with no Extra Deck and no dead Extra slots

Weaknesses

  • Illegal: Card of Demise run 3 copies against a limit of 1
  • Archetype coherence is low: exact-name purity 10%, split across True Draco, Monarch, Greed and Morganite
  • No hand traps, one floodgate, and no side deck
  • No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are unknown

Critical choke points

  • Card of Demise is over the copy limit, so the list cannot be played as built
  • Monarch enablers require an empty Extra Deck and Tribute Summoned monsters, so a single lost Tribute Summon shuts down the Monarch lines
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 2 copies of Card of Demise A legal card that fills the same role (a non-limited draw or search card) Brings the list back to legal copy limits; without this the deck cannot get a normal score
2 Off-archetype Greed/Morganite cards (Pot of Duality, Succumbing-Song and Time-Tearing Morganite) More True Draco or Monarch cards Raises archetype purity and engine coherence; off-archetype cards are the main coherence drag (Inferred)

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal: Card of Demise 3 copies vs OCG limit 1 (Limited); Main 40, Extra 0, Side 0, all within size rules; Card text for all 19 distinct cards; Searcher count 17 and 5 negation cards from role-hint tags
  • Inferred: Opening-hand access to the searchers (about 0.95 for at least one in 5); Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second estimates
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No archetype usage statistics: core and meta-standard comparison unavailable No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates): these signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck present, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
