D/D/D Deck #772389 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck D/D/D summons (Deus Machinex, Arc Crisis, Gilgamesh, Kali-type Xyz/Fusion boards) built from Pendulum and Dark Contract recursion; Dark Contract Pendulum chains and D/D Savant pressure that stalls the opponent while the Extra Deck comes online
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Summon a D/D pair from Extra (Savant/Gryphon/Count Surveyor), use Dark Contract with the Gate to search a D/D monster, then fuse or Link into a D/D/D boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Belle to break the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Dark Contract and Pendulum recursion
• Recovery: Recycle Dark Contract, D/D Necro Slime and D/D Lance Soldier from the GY and banishment, then rebuild through Pendulum Summons
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not an average of its card scores. Its D/D core (25 copies, about 96% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) gives it a reliable starter, and nine hand traps plus Dark Contract recursion add interruption resilience and resource recovery. Its Extra Deck of D/D/D bosses gives it real closing power, but no combo data was supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Popularity did not add points: the archetype share is unknown and the usage statistics only confirm the core list. The deck is Illegal (Allure of Darkness at 3 copies against a limit of 1, Ash Blossom at 3 against a limit of 2, and a 16-card Extra Deck), so the final score is capped low and the evaluation is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, with Toolbox secondary at 0 weight (no secondary weighting applied). Structural ≈ 58.7, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-10); No side deck (-2); Illegal cap (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*58.7 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 44, capped at 40 because the list is Illegal (structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is dense (25 D/D copies) so a starter is very likely in hand
• Nine hand traps and multi-layer negations provide strong interaction
• Dark Contract recursion and Pendulum routes recover resources

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Allure of Darkness and Ash Blossom
• Extra Deck is one card over the limit
• No side deck
• Large number of level-0 Spell/Trap slots and pendulum-scale conflicts reduce coherence

Critical choke points

• The Extra Deck overflow must be fixed before the list is playable
• Single Dark Contract and D/D Savant bridge lines depend on a few pendulum cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Allure of Darkness 3 vs 1 and Ash Blossom 3 vs 2 copies; Extra Deck of 16 cards exceeds the 15 limit; Main Deck 54 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Archetype core 25 copies in deck
• Inferred: P(>=1 archetype-core card in 5-card hand) ~0.96; Going-second hand-trap availability ~0.68; Dimension scores D1 through D14 from card text and composition
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards or combos, so combo ceiling and median are text-only No tournament link or dated meta sample No side deck registered No win-rate telemetry for this deck
