Dragon Link Deck #772376 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon DARK Dragon Link monsters (Borrel/Rokket support) and grind the board with negates and boss monsters; Bystial Dis Pater and Bystial Magnamhut/Druiswurm beatdown after Extra Deck access
• Turn 1 (going first): Rokket Loader or Quick Launch into a Rokket-based Link line (Silverrokket, Absorouter, Autorokket) using Boot Sector Launch and Double Interlock; sample size too small to call the line reliable (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn Judgment to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Rokket recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Tracer recycle Rokket monsters from the GY, and Borrel Regenerator and Mulcharmy draw-engines add card flow (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; this is a structural gap, not a tuned answer

Why it scores here

The evaluation is structural only because the list is illegal: it runs Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse three copies each against an OCG limit of two. The deck reliably reaches its Rokket and Dragon engine through the archetype core (about 91.5% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening, Inferred), and it keeps a dense negate and hand-trap suite (14 negation-text cards, 8 hand traps) that holds up on the second turn. Its ceiling and median cannot be measured, because the export contains no parseable boards, so the offensive and combo dimensions rest on card text alone. The main-deck structure is spread across 15 sub-archetypes with 0% exact-name purity, which weakens engine coherence, and it runs no side deck at all. Popularity was not credited, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50.4, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: copy-limit violation (Illegal status) (-8); engine fragmentation / archetype conflicts (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*50.4 + 0.20*45 - 11 = 38.3; Illegal list, so reported as a capped structural-only score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 negate and hand-trap suite (14 negation-text cards, 8 hand traps)
• Strong Rokket recursion and Link-summon engine with multiple Dragon-type routes
• Core archetype density gives high P(at least one core card in opening hand) = 0.915 (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations on two Semi-Limited cards (3 copies each vs 2 legal)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• 71 off-archetype copies across 15 sub-archetypes with 0% exact-name purity
• Core Borrel Extra Deck cards are absent from the list, so the usage-core is only partially represented

Critical choke points

• Rokket Loader or Quick Launch as the only reliable starter for going-first lines (P(>=1) = 0.249 per 3-copy card)
• Extra Deck access depends on Link Monsters, with no fallback Extra-Deck engine
• Illegal copy count would be enforced at a tournament and invalidates the list until corrected

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main count 56 and Extra count 15 are within OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2; Side count is 0; Archetype purity is 0% exact-name with 71 off-archetype copies
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Rokket core present in 100% of rows (archetype-level, not this deck's results)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (0.249 per 3-copy card; 0.915 for the core group); Hand-trap going-second chance of 0.622; Negation density and interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) (no tournament link or meta share)
• 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 and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered, so post-side behaviour is unscored in practice Deck title is null, so the name is taken from the archetype only
