Predaplant Deck #772306 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Fusion/Synchro/Pendulum, Graveyard-centric
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon DARK boss monsters (Starving Venom Predapower, Starving Venom Wing, Greedy Venom, Triphyoverutum) through the Polymerization-family spells and Predap searchers, with Predator Counter negates protecting the board.; Synchro and Level-based beats through Predaplant Bal Teah and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, plus Predaplant Chimerafflesia banishing and attack-step ATK reduction.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Predaplant starter (Lilizard, Ophrys Scorpio, Longinephila, or Byblisp), use Predapractice or Predaprimitive to search a Polymerization-family spell or Predap card, then Fusion Summon a boss using monsters from the field.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Predaplast or Predapruning to place Predator Counters on the opponent's monsters, then Fusion Summon a boss to pressure, keeping a Predator-Counter negate (Starving Venom Predapower) available for their response.
• Recovery: Recycle Predaplant monsters from the GY (Byblisp, Longinephila, Drosophyllum Hydra) and reuse the searchers to rebuild the Fusion line.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no documented post-side plan; the deck relies on the main-deck engine only.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: the archetype core (15 copies) gives about 0.92 odds of at least one core card in a going-first 5-card hand, and 17 searcher-text cards add redundancy so a starter can be found through Predapractice, Predaprimitive, and the Predap monsters. Conversion is driven by a system of six Polymerization-family spells and Predaprime Fusion feeding a Fusion Extra Deck of 12 bosses, which gives strong closing power (ATK up to 3600) and a repeatable Predator-Counter negate package. The score reflects those system-level strengths and the weaknesses that cap it: 20 spells with 21 singletons raise brick and conflict risk, there is no side deck, and the combo-line data is absent, so floor and median output are inferred rather than measured. Popularity (archetype usage) confirms the list is real and accessible but did not earn points on its own, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 67.5, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Extra-Deck dependence on Polymerization family (-2); Off-engine splash (-1); Engine compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 dropped and Combo weights renormalized over 97 for a meta-neutral Structural score; 0.80*67.5 + 0.20*56 - 4 ≈ 61)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Predap searcher package (17 searcher-text cards) with a 0.92 core-group opening rate.
• Six Polymerization-family enablers feed 12 Fusion bosses with high ATK and negate effects.
• Predator-Counter disruption package provides multiple once-per-turn answers on the field.

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability.
• 20 spells with 21 singletons raise brick and conflict risk.
• Several Limited and Semi-Limited enablers (Foolish Burial, Instant Fusion, One for One, Super Polymerization) add dead-draw cost in some hands.

Critical choke points

• Polymerization-family spells (Polymerization, Super Polymerization x2, Ultra Polymerization, Heavy Polymerization, Super Duper Polymerization) are the main path to the Fusion boss suite.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 sizes within the OCG size rules, and copy limits for Limited and Semi-Limited cards respected.; Card text for the 41-card list resolved from the server.; Archetype usage: Predaplant core group inclusion rates are present in usage statistics.
• Observed: No boards observed; combo data records 0 combos.
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (0.92 core rate, 0.08 proxy brick rate) from the hypergeometric table.; Going-first and going-second estimates from text plus composition.; Interaction and closing strength from the card text (negate and boss ATK).
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) because no dated metagame sample exists.; Going-second split and side-deck adaptability.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference. Usage statistics mark Dragostapelia, Daredevil, Starving Venom Predapower, Bal Teah, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, and Triphyoverutum as not in deck, but the cards list shows them in the Extra Deck with 1-2 copies; the core_present figure (46.7%) is therefore unreliable. No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first, going-second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. No side deck registered.
