Ragnaraika Deck #772317 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-based board (Ragnaraika Chain Coils, Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign, Traptrix Rafflesia/Pinguicula) built from Insect, Plant and Reptile monsters, with Traptrix Hole traps clearing the opponent's backrow; Traptrix Xyz and Link beatsticks after a Hole-trap removal chain
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Traptrix Mantis or Myrmeleo to search a Hole trap or Traptrix, set Trap Hole traps, and hold hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler) for the opponent's first Link or Xyz
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first summon, then Hole traps and Terrifying Trap Hole Nightmare to clear the board and build a Link 4 or 5
• Recovery: Recycle Traptrix and Ragnaraika monsters from the GY via Traptrix Dionaea, Traptrix Sera, Ragnaraika Skeletal Soldier and Ragnaraika Wisteria of Woe
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its interaction: 14 hand traps and 28 removal-text cards give it a dense interaction layer, and 3-copy starters appear in about 24% of going-first hands (hypergeometric, Inferred). Its ceiling depends on Link 4 and Link 5 Ragnaraika monsters and Traptrix Xyz threats, which are text-supported but have no recorded boards, so the conversion scores are Inferred. The Traptrix core shares Insect and Plant types with the Ragnaraika Link engine, which lets the two halves interact, but only 12 of 73 archetype-tagged copies are exact-name Ragnaraika, so the engine is less coherent than the deck name suggests. The score is also held down by three things: the deck is illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2), it has no side deck, and no combo, tournament or win-rate data exists. Popularity and meta-share played no part, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun primary; D13 dropped and weights renormalised over the remaining 86 points (no dated meta). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (Ash Blossom 3 vs 2) (-8); No side deck (-4); Illegal-deck score cap (-19). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53.8; context modifiers -12 gives 41.8; Illegal deck capped at 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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 hand-trap and Trap Hole interaction (14 hand traps, 28 removal-text cards)
• Traptrix Insect/Plant types feed the Ragnaraika Link engine
• Link 4 and Link 5 closing threats with recursion from the GY
• Compact main deck inside the OCG size window

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• No side deck
• Low exact-name Ragnaraika purity (16.4%)
• Lots of 1-copy engine pieces, which raises the risk of a dead draw
• No combo or tournament evidence to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom at 3 copies is illegal and must be cut to 2 before the list can be played
• Single 1-copy Ragnaraika Link pieces (Chain Coils, Stag Sovereign) gate the Link 4 and 5 finishers
• Going-first hands with no hand trap or starter face a slow line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck size 58 and Extra deck size 15 are both within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against an OCG limit of 2, making the list Illegal; Harpie's Feather Duster is run once, within its Limited status; Archetype purity: 12 exact-name Ragnaraika copies out of 73 archetype-tagged copies (16.4%)
• Inferred: P(at least one 3-copy starter in a going-first 5-card hand) = 0.24; P(at least one searcher text card in 5 cards) = 0.67; Interaction density is high from hand-trap and removal-text counts; Link 4/5 and Xyz finishers are reachable, but the route is unconfirmed
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability and matchup fit (no win-rate or match telemetry)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics show only 1 of 25 core cards present in this list
