Crimson Dragon Deck #772488 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters from the Azamina, Centur-Ion, Synchro and Fusion pools (Azamina Sol Erysichthon 2700 ATK, Azamina 4000 ATK, Centur-Ion Legatia 3500 ATK, Chaos Angel 3500 ATK) reached through several separate engines; Synchro and Fusion pressure through Diabellstar, White Forest and Fiendsmith monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Fiendsmith Engraver, Elzette, Silvy, Stand Up Centur-Ion!), search a Centur-Ion or White Forest engine piece, then Synchro or Fusion Summon a boss; Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence protect the first line
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to slow the opponent's starter, then rebuild through GY recursion (Lacrima, Astellar, Rucia, Silvera) and a Synchro boss
• Recovery: Recurse Synchro materials and Spell/Trap cost cards from the GY (Sinful Spoils, Centur-Ion Phalanx, Woes of the White Forest) to resummon into the next boss
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck carries no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher in the opening hand (P(at least one searcher in 5 cards) ≈ 0.92, Inferred), so its starter access is good, but the list spans five engines (White Forest, Centur-Ion, Fiendsmith, Azamina, Diabell) with 0% exact-archetype purity, which weakens consistency. Its interaction is dense (8 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards, 9 removal-text cards), and GY recursion gives it reasonable resilience after disruption. Its closing power comes from high-ATK Extra Deck bosses (up to 4000 ATK), but there are no recorded boards, so the conversion and median scores are text-only inferences. The score is not based on popularity: the Crimson Dragon archetype tag and usage statistics confirm the list is real but do not earn points, and the dimension scores were not averaged from individual card scores. The deck is Illegal (Extra Deck of 21 over the 15-card cap, a Forbidden card, and four copy-limit breaches), so the score is capped at 30 and is structural/theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 100%; Toolbox noted as secondary with no weight blend applied. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51.4; modifiers -12 → 39.4; Illegal-status cap applied → 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 and recursion density gives reliable starts and rebuilds
• Eight hand traps and multiple negation effects give layered interaction
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses provide closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 21 Extra Deck cards over the 15 cap, a Forbidden card and four copy-limit breaches
• Five engines with 0% exact-archetype purity cause conflicts and bricks
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation

Critical choke points

• Azamina Ilia Silvia is Forbidden and cannot be legally run in this format
• Multiple boss summons depend on single-copy Fiendsmith and Limited Extra Deck pieces

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 52 and Extra Deck 21 counts; Azamina Ilia Silvia is Forbidden; Fiendsmith Engraver, Droll & Lock Bird and Ash Blossom exceed their copy limits; Extra Deck size exceeds the OCG cap of 15; Side Deck is empty; 0% exact-archetype purity across five sub-archetypes
• Inferred: Searcher access ≈ 0.92 in the opening hand (hypergeometric); Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Recursion-based rebuild potential from card text; Boss ATK values as closing power
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated metagame or tournament data); Meta power (no metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has no title and no Side Deck
