Dominus Deck #772449 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 44/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board-presence beats from Extra Deck Xyz/Link/Fusion monsters (Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer, Divine Serpent Apophis, Topologic Bomber Dragon), supported by Argostars trap-monster chains; Argostars Adventurous Arion and Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer as Xyz pressure; Apophis trap monsters as repeatable attackers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a searcher (Speedroid Terrortop, Phantom Knights of Doomed Soleret, Argostars Giantslaying, Dominusteer Rosepamela) and build toward an Argostars Continuous Trap engine with Home Stadium; hold Solemn Judgment or Maxx C for the first summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Dominus Purge, Songs of the Dominators) to break the opponent's first board, then follow with Destructive Daruma or Dimensional Fissure to reset the board and convert
• Recovery: Argostars and Dominus searchers (Argostars - Giantslaying, Dominusteer Rosepamela, Armored Xyz recursion from GY) rebuild hand; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is cleared
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3

Why it scores here

The deck reliably finds a searcher and a live trap-based starter: twelve searcher-text cards give about a 72% chance of at least one in an opening hand of five, and the Argostars Continuous Trap chain gives a repeatable engine. Its interaction suite is the strongest part of the system, with six hand traps, two Ash-style negations, Solemn Judgment, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Destructive Daruma and Dimensional Fissure, which is why it scores well on end-board interaction and going-second board breaking. Conversion is weaker: 55 main-deck slots spread across at least seven sub-archetypes (only 4.3% of cards are exact Dominus names) and 19 trap cards produce brick-prone hands and conflicting plans, such as Mulcharmy's empty-hand condition against Argostars' full-hand needs. No recorded boards, guides or tournament results exist, so the combo floor and median are text-only inference and popularity was not used as evidence. The score is computed from the system as a whole (consistency, interaction, median output and resources), not from averaging the card scores, and no side deck caps the post-game plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: no_side_deck (-3); limited_key_cards (-2); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*53.3 + 0.20*45 - 8 = 43.7 → 44)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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 searcher text (12 cards) with P≥1 ≈ 0.72 in a five-card opener
• Six hand traps and two negations give going-second interaction
• Layered end-board interaction: Solemn Judgment, Destructive Daruma, Dimensional Fissure and 19 removal-text cards
• Extra Deck covers Xyz, Link and Fusion ATK 2500–3000 closers

Weaknesses

• Only 4.3% of cards match the exact Dominus archetype; the list spreads across at least six sub-archetypes
• 55 main-deck slots with 19 traps and 12 singletons raise brick risk
• No side deck (side_count 0) means no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, combos or guides, so the combo floor and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Argostars Continuous Trap chain requires a Continuous Trap in the Spell & Trap Zone; without one, Argostars searches and summons stall
• Searchers are the entry point to every plan; hands without one rely on draw effects alone
• Limited cards (Solemn Judgment, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) are single copies and cannot be replaced

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal with 55 Main, 15 Extra and 0 Side cards; Restricted cards: Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, S:P Little Knight, Solemn Judgment (Limited); Ash Blossom (Semi-Limited); Exact-name archetype purity 4.3% (3 of 70 archetype copies); Core usage cards Droll & Lock Bird, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Maxx C and Infinite Impermanence all present (100% core presence)
• Inferred: Searcher-text P(≥1 in opener) ≈ 0.72 and hand-trap P(≥1 going second) ≈ 0.52 from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density (15 negation-text and 19 removal-text cards) supports D7 and D8; Argostars trap-engine conflicts with Mulcharmy empty-hand draws; Brick risk from 19 traps and conditional starters
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup and format fit (D13) lacks a tournament link and 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 guides for the archetype: zero guide mentions No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no title (title null); archetype label is a usage-stat label, not a verified build
