Dracoslayer Deck #772362 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Pendulum, Link
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-zone chains into Link/Synchro/Xyz/Fusion boards that build Dracoslayer and Majespecter attackers (Ignister Prominence, Dinoster Power, Majespecter Draco, Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon); Vaylantz field-spell chains and Majespecter Tempest/Tornado as interaction-backed pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum-set a Dracoslayer or Majespecter Pendulum, Pendulum Summon into a searcher chain (Raccoon, Crow, Fox, Ignis Phoenix, Majesty Pegasus) and reach a Link or Synchro extender
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Nibiru to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Pendulum searchers and Majespecter Wind
• Recovery: Pendulum Monsters and Majespecter searchers recur from the Deck and GY; Draco Awakening and Majesty's Pegasus refill the Pendulum Zone
• After siding: Side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core (16 Dracoslayer/Majespecter copies) has about an 84% chance of at least one piece in the opening five, and the 23 searcher-text cards add redundancy, so the engine is usually reachable on turns 1 and 2 (Inferred). Interaction is real but thin: five hand traps and seven negation-text cards give a 46% chance of at least one going second, which helps against an established board (Inferred). Floor and median output are weak because the list has no recorded boards, so combo conversion is an unverified text read. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the deck is capped low because it is illegal: two Forbidden cards are in the Main/Extra and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a 15-card maximum. Its score is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra-deck size violation (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: raw 0.80*Structural(49.35) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 48.5, plus modifiers (-12) = 36.5; Illegal-deck cap (rubric Step 2) applies, so reported score 25 is theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• Core archetype cards are reachable on turns 1-2 (about 84% for at least one core card in five)
• Five hand traps plus negation-text cards give interaction going second
• Searcher density (23 cards) makes the engine redundant

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and 17 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card maximum
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (22.5%) with mixed Majespecter, Dracoslayer and generic pieces

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone setup: most starters need a second Pendulum Monster in the other zone
• Borreload and Baronne would be the main board-breakers, and they are Forbidden

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 54 Main, 17 Extra, 0 Side; Extra Deck over the 15-card OCG maximum; Borreload Savage Dragon and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden; copies run 1 each; Astrograph Sorcerer and other Limited cards are at legal copy limits (1); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 2 copies at its Semi-Limited limit
• Inferred: P(>=1 archetype-core card in opening 5) ≈ 0.84; P(>=1 hand trap in opening 6, going second) ≈ 0.46; Engine accessibility and brick risk from composition and text; Structural scores for D1-D14 from text and composition, with no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
