Dominus Deck #772565 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 26/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 48 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Fusion boss monsters from the Extra Deck (Red Dragon Archfiend 3000 ATK, Chaos Angel 3500 ATK, Psychic End Punisher 3500 ATK, Titaniklad the Ash Dragon 2500 ATK), with no single engine to build them reliably (Inferred from card text and Extra Deck composition); Trap-based interaction (hand traps and Normal Trap negations) that buys time for the Extra Deck bosses to land (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Labrynth or Dominus searcher and hope to reach a Synchro or Fusion boss; the probability of a searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.81, but the cards it fetches belong to different sub-archetypes (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Maxx "C", Infinite Impermanence, Mind Mirror Force, Solemn Accusation) to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert with an Extra Deck boss (Inferred; P(at least one hand-trap in 6 cards) about 0.42)
• Recovery: Recursion sits mostly in the Graveyard via Labrynth and Fallen-named cards, but no recursion engine is shown to chain these lines together (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This list is structurally illegal in OCG: it runs one Forbidden copy of Albion the Branded Dragon and 16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card cap, so the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only read. Its main deck is a mix of at least five archetype lines (Labrynth, Dominus, Ashtra, Branded, Dogmatika, plus Ecclesia and Fallen-named cards), with only 5 of 48 main cards carrying the exact Dominus name, which is an engine-conflict problem rather than a single engine. The deck does have real interaction density: four hand traps, 13 negation-text cards, and 14 singleton slots that spread the answers across many turns, so it can slow an opponent down. Its Extra Deck offers high-ATK closers (3000 to 3500 ATK synchros), but nothing recorded shows how reliably they are reached, and there is no combo or win-rate data to confirm the floor or median. The score was built from the 14 system dimensions and weighted with the Toolbox profile, not from averaging the card scores, and popularity of the Dominus archetype earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 39.1, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-7); engine conflicts (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-12); Meta provisional; illegal-deck cap applied: theoretical/structural read only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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

• Hand-trap and negation density (4 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards) gives interaction across turns
• Extra Deck has several high-ATK synchro bosses that can close a board
• Usage data shows the archetype core is partly present (Maxx "C" and Infinite Impermanence)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden Albion and a 16-card Extra Deck over the 15-card cap
• Engine conflicts across five or more archetype lines, with only 5 of 48 main cards carrying the exact Dominus name
• High brick risk: 22 Trap Cards and 14 singletons, many needing a specific board
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo, guide, or tournament evidence to check consistency

Critical choke points

• Reaching any Extra Deck boss depends on a single searcher or Synchro path with no recorded backup
• The Forbidden Albion slot removes a Fusion route and makes the list illegal until it is cut

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden in OCG (1 copy run, 0 legal); Main Deck 48 cards, Extra Deck 16 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Dimensional Barrier and Maxx "C" are Limited at 1 copy each; Dominus Impulse and The Fallen & The Virtuous are Semi-Limited at 2 copies each; Exact-name archetype purity 7.8%; 22 Trap Cards in the main deck
• Observed: Extra Deck composition: 11 Synchro, 3 Fusion, 2 Link; Archetype usage: Maxx "C" 59.8% and Infinite Impermanence 51.2% inclusion; Droll & Lock Bird and Mulcharmy Fuwalos absent
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from the hypergeometric draw table; Going-first and going-second plans from the card text and role tags; Interaction density read from the negation and hand-trap tags
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format fit (no tournament or archetype meta-share data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, brick or OTK rates Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored Deck title is null; identity is taken from the archetype and card list
