RaidRaptor Deck #772652 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Xyz-engine, Hand-trap stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Monster pressure (Time Thief Redoer, Raidraptor - Force Strix, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) built from the Extra Deck after a hand-trap or Special Summon opener; Link and Xyz recursion through Time Thief and Phantom Knights GY effects (Raider's Wing, Time Thief Adjuster, Time Thief Winder)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Raidraptor/Time Thief starter (Strangle Lanius, Quick Launch, Time Thief Startup) that leads to one Xyz; hold Infinite Impermanence and Ash Blossom for the first opposing response. Dead-hand risk is high because ~36% of 5-card hands have no core-group card (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a 6-card hand with one of 12 hand traps (about 82% chance of at least one) to break the opponent's first play, then convert through the Xyz Extra Deck options.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Raider's Wing, Time Thief Adjuster, Time Thief Winder and the Xyz material recursion effects (Inferred from text).
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan. Any best-of-3 play is unadapted.

Why it scores here

This list is structurally illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies against an OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it is capped and evaluated as a theoretical, structural-only read. Its engine is split across at least four sub-archetypes (RaidRaptor 10, Time Thief 16, Phantom Knights 8, Rokket 7 by copy count), with an exact archetype purity of only 15.2%, which costs main-deck efficiency and starter consistency. The interaction suite is the deck's strongest feature: 12 hand traps, 14 negation texts and 20 removal texts give a real stun-and-respond plan that rates well on end-board interaction and going-second board breaking. The score comes from consistency and interaction on the system, not from RaidRaptor's popularity and not from averaging card scores. No combo boards, tournament data or side deck are present, so floor, median and closing power are Inferred and the side-deck adaptability score is near zero.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 51 before modifiers; modifiers -12 gives 39; capped at 35 under the illegal-deck rule (theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.36 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense interaction suite: 12 hand traps, 14 negation texts and 20 removal texts give answers to both first plays and end-board
• Multiple Xyz finishers at 2400 to 3000 ATK (Time Thief Redoer, Arc Rebellion, Divine Arsenal) give closing power
• Recursion from the GY (Raider's Wing, Time Thief Adjuster/Winder/Startup) lets the deck recover after an answer

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: Ash Blossom is run 3 times against a limit of 2
• Low archetype purity (15.2%) means the engine is spread across four sub-archetypes, with weak starter density
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No combo, tournament or win-rate data, so the score rests on text and probability

Critical choke points

• The Raidraptor/Time Thief Xyz route depends on 3-copy starters that open only about 27% of the time in a 5-card hand
• The deck has no side deck and no fallback when the opponent's first answer shuts the Xyz route down

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 51, Extra 15, Side 0; size rules satisfied (legality Verified); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit 2 (Verified); Archetype purity 15.2% and spread (Verified count); Harpie's Feather Duster and PSY-Framegear Gamma each run 1 copy, within their Limited limit (Verified)
• Observed: Usage stats: Raidraptor - Strangle Lanius, Time Thief Redoer and Ash Blossom appear in the archetype core at 50%+ inclusion (Verified count, observed usage)
• Inferred: P(>=1 starter in 5 cards) 0.27 and core group 0.64 (hypergeometric); Brick proxy about 0.36 and going-second hand-trap coverage 0.82; Interaction layering from card text (negation 14, removal 20, hand-trap 12)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample; Median output (D4): no recorded boards
• Data gaps: Illegal list: the score is capped and is theoretical/structural-only No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent 1 passcode (10443957) in the Main Deck is unresolved and its legality is unverified No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred
