Dominus Deck #772590 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual-summoned Reptile boss monsters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi, Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi) backed by Extra Deck Fusion, Link and Xyz pressure; Ruler of the End of the World and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord as late-game closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Mitsurugi monsters and Mitsurugi Ritual or Pre-Preparation of Rites, then ritual-summon a Reptile boss; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Droll & Lock Bird slow the opponent's draws. Going first is weaker here because the over-limit copies cannot be run legally.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird) and Dominus Impulse or Solemn Judgment to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild the Reptile engine from the Graveyard with Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi.
• Recovery: Recover with Mitsurugi searchers (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi, Wousu), Ragged Records of Rites from the Graveyard, and Mitsurugi Great Purification to re-establish a Reptile board.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck cannot be evaluated for best-of-3 adaptation.

Why it scores here

This is an illegal list, so the score is a structural, theoretical read capped low. The main deck is 55 cards with 14 Extra Deck cards and no Side Deck. Five cards exceed their OCG copy limits, and that is the main reason for the low score. The searcher density (about 20 searcher-text cards, roughly 91% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and a real hand-trap and negation suite (5 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards) support the engine and interaction dimensions. The deck is diluted: only 3 cards are named Dominus and about 4% of the main deck carries the exact archetype name, so the Dominus theme is largely a label rather than an engine. No combo boards were supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used to raise any score, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile used for Structural; interaction read noted as secondary. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (sum -12) = 39, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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 suite (about 91% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand)
• Strong interaction layer: 5 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Dominus Impulse, Mitsurugi Great Purification
• High end-board ceiling from Ame no Murakumo, Ruler, Galaxy-Eyes and Predaplant Triphyoverutum

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: five cards over copy limit
• Very low exact archetype purity (4.3%); engine split across Mitsurugi, Mulcharmy and Greed
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• High count of level-0 spells and traps and many one-of tech cards

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Ritual and Pre-Preparation of Rites: both needed to reach the Reptile boss line
• Single Reptile boss summon route depends on Mitsurugi searchers and tribute fodder

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 5 cards exceed OCG copy limits and Limited/Semi-Limited restrictions apply; Main 55 and Extra 14 are inside OCG size rules; Side is 0; Archetype exact-name purity is 4.3%; Searcher-text count is 20; hand-trap count is 5; negation-text count is 13
• Observed: Archetype usage shows Droll & Lock Bird and Mulcharmy Fuwalos as core cards, both present
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.91; Interaction density is high and supports the interaction dimensions; Engine split across sub-archetypes limits consistency
• Provisional: Matchup fit and tournament reliability are not supported by tournament or meta data; Meta Power is null
• 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, going-first/second or matchup telemetry exists No side deck registered Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
