Predaplant Deck #772755 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon DARK Predaplant / Starving Venom boss monsters (Dragostapelia, Triphyoverutum, Starving Venom Predapower, Greedy Venom) through Polymerization-based summons and Predator Counter lines; Synchro and Fusion beatdown with Black Rose and Bramble Rose Dragon-style boards, plus Exodia Incarnate as a late-game finisher
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter (Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio, Princess Dracaena, Predaprimitive, or Longinephila) that searches a Polymerization line, then Fusion Summon a DARK boss; hand traps are held for the opponent's first board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Droll to interrupt the opponent's first search or summon, then convert the surviving starter into a Fusion boss to contest the board
• Recovery: Recur Byblisp from the GY, use Fusion Substitute to re-Fusion from the Extra Deck, and rebuild Predator Counters with Predaplanning or Darlingtonia Cobra
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; this is a structural read only

Why it scores here

This list is structurally strong on paper: the archetype core is almost always reachable (about 97% at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) and the Predaplant and Polymerization lines convert into several 3000+ ATK DARK Fusion bosses. Interaction density is high, with about ten hand traps and multiple negate effects (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Infinite Impermanence), which keeps the engine alive through a going-second hand. Median output and combo ceiling are scored from card text only because no recorded boards exist, so both are Inferred and held near the middle. Side deck is empty, so the post-side dimension is scored at the floor. The score is capped at 35 because the list is illegal in OCG: two cards exceed their Semi-Limited limit and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15. The 80-point figure this structure would otherwise reach is not awarded, and popularity (archetype core stats) only confirmed the list is real, not that it is strong. No card scores were averaged or summed into this deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-13); No side deck (0); Dependence on Extra Deck breadth (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*62 + 0.20*52 - 12 = 48, then capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always reachable in opening hands (about 97%, Inferred)
• Layered negates and hand traps (about ten) cover both turns of the opponent's first board
• Fusion bosses at 3000 to 3600 ATK provide a real closing threat

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two cards over the Semi-Limited limit and an Extra Deck of 17 against a 15 maximum
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Heavy hand-trap and starter overlap raises brick and conflict risk

Critical choke points

• Polymerization access (6 cards total) is the single bridge to most boss summons
• Predator Counter placement is required by several negates and Fusion conditions; losing the field counters removes them

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 45 Main, 17 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Core-card inclusion and typical copies from usage statistics (60% core present); Hand-trap and searcher counts from role tags
• Observed: No boards observed; combo output is unmeasured
• Inferred: 97% core access and 80% going-second hand-trap probability from hypergeometric draws; Interaction quality and resilience from card text; Ceiling and median output from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no tournament link or dated metagame sample
• 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 in YGOVN: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied: post-side plan cannot be evaluated
