Tenpai Dragon Deck #772370 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tenpai Dragon board (Paidra/Genroku/Fadra/Chundra) that Special Summons FIRE Dragons and converts into Extra Deck beaters such as Dis Pater, Chaos Angel and Transcendent Dragion; Bystial and Fiendsmith Extra Deck beaters (Lubellion, Magnamhut, Desirae, Ty-Phon) that take over the board after the opponent's interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Paidra or Genroku, search or Set a Sangen spell/trap, Special Summon FIRE Dragons and build toward a Synchro or Link board with interaction held back
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Strike, Solemn Judgment) and Raigeki or Feather Duster to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Bystial and Dragon searches
• Recovery: Recur from the GY with Fadra, Genroku, Fiendsmith Requiem or the Bystial banish-summon effects, and draw with Mulcharmy Fuwalos
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a Midrange system, not as an average of its cards. Its Tenpai core is reasonably reliable: the archetype core has P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.86 (Inferred), and Paidra, Genroku and Fadra provide several ways to start a board. Its interaction density is high, with 4 hand traps, Solemn Strike and Solemn Judgment, Infinite Impermanence, Raigeki, Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Super Polymerization, so it can answer a board on either turn. Its Extra Deck has real closing power, with several 2500 to 3500 ATK beaters. However, the list mixes Tenpai, Fiendsmith, Bystial, Sangen and Mulcharmy at only 11.4% exact-name purity, the main deck holds 28 non-monster cards and no side deck, and there is no combo or tournament data, so the median and matchup scores stay provisional. The deck is Illegal (three copy-limit violations), so its score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, about 0.8 to 0.2 by judgment. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-5); engine_conflicts (-4). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-9) = 45.6; Illegal cap applied: score = 30 (structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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 interaction package: 4 hand traps, Solemn Strike, Solemn Judgment, Infinite Impermanence, Raigeki and Feather Duster
• High-ceiling Extra Deck with several 2500 to 3500 ATK beaters
• Recursion and search density: 12 searcher-text cards plus GY revival from Fadra, Genroku and Fiendsmith Requiem

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three copy-limit violations (Super Polymerization x3, Fiendsmith Engraver x2, Fiendsmith's Tract x2)
• No side deck: 0 cards, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (11.4%) across Tenpai, Fiendsmith, Bystial, Sangen, Solemn and Mulcharmy, with engine conflicts
• Heavy on conditional non-monster slots (28 in the main deck)

Critical choke points

• Tenpai starters Paidra and Genroku (3 copies each): losing them removes the primary engine
• Extra Deck Synchro and Fusion summons depend on a Dragon or LIGHT/DARK Fiend monster on field or in the GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and the three copy-limit violations (legality block); Banlist statuses of the restricted cards; Card text and ATK/DEF values for the listed cards; Archetype usage stat: archetype-core inclusion of 95% for Chundra and Sangen Summoning
• Inferred: Archetype core P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.856; Interaction density and negation read from card text; Going-first and going-second assessments; Consistency and brick estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit (D13); Post-side plan (D12)
• 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: going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
