Dragonmaid Deck #772964 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dragonmaid Level 8+ beatsticks (Tinkhec, Sheou, Lorpar, Ernus, Blaster) and Fusion Summons (House Dragonmaid, Lady's Dragonmaid, Filia Regis) closing through a board the deck has already disrupted; Link and Synchro pressure from Striker Dragon, S:P Little Knight and Chaos Angel; Xyz from Super Starslayer TY-PHON (coverage thin)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Dragonmaid searchers and Chamber/Kitchen/Parlor Dragonmaid, convert into a Fusion (Changeover or House Dragonmaid) or a Level 8 beatstick, keep Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Droll for the opponent's first big play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (11 in deck) to break the opponent's first Summon, then recover through Dragonmaid Welcome, Tidying and Changeover from the GY to rebuild a Fusion board
• Recovery: Return Dragonmaid monsters to hand with Downtime, Tidying and Welcome, then re-Summon them through Hospitality and Send-Off; GY Changeover adds a Fusion back
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards) and no post-side data exists

Why it scores here

The structural read is 54 (Midrange profile) and it is capped at 25 because the list is illegal: Chamber Dragonmaid runs 6 copies against an OCG limit of 3, and Ash Blossom runs 3 against a Semi-Limited limit of 2. The 22-copy Dragonmaid core gives high odds that some core card is in the opening five (about 0.93, Inferred), so the engine is reliably found, but 26 level-0 Spells/Traps and 24 singletons mean many hands are partly dead. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: 11 hand traps, Droll, Effect Veiler, Skill Drain, Solemn Judgment and Infinite Impermanence give layered answers to the opponent's first play, and Level 8+ Dragons and 3000-ATK Fusions give real closing power. Recursion through Welcome, Tidying, Changeover and Downtime supports interruption resilience. Popularity (Dragonmaid is the archetype, with the core present in 9 of 13 usage-stat cards) confirms the list is real and was not added to the score. No combo boards, tournament link, or side deck were supplied, so floor, median, ceiling, and side-deck quality are text-based inferences, and Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (disclosed; the Toolbox profile was not blended into the weights). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12); Banlist exposure (Limited / Semi-Limited) (-3); Empty side deck (-2). Final formula: Structural 54 gives 0.80*54 + 0.20*45 ≈ 52 (no metagame sample, Meta provisional); the Illegal status caps the Final Contextual score at 25. Theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 layered interaction: 11 hand traps plus Droll, Veiler, Skill Drain, Solemn and Impermanence
• Reliable archetype-core access (about 0.93 in the opening five)
• Recursion from the GY gives repeatable resources and a second route after disruption
• High-ATK Level 8+ and Fusion closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts (Chamber 6/3, Ash 3/2)
• 26 level-0 Spells/Traps and 24 singletons create dead-card and brick risk
• Zero side deck, so no post-side plan
• Low exact-archetype purity (46.5%) and many off-theme tech cards

Critical choke points

• Single-card dependence on the Fusion enablers (Changeover, House Dragonmaid) for Fusion pressure
• Going-second hands with no hand trap or Droll
• Droll, Ash and Veiler are all needed for the Fusion route to survive turn 1 interruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (within OCG size rules); Chamber Dragonmaid 6 copies vs legal 3; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs Semi-Limited legal 2; Banlist statuses for the 8 restricted cards; Dragonmaid core usage: Parlor 87.5%, Lorpar and Tinkhec 87.5%, Changeover 62.5%
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency ≈ 0.93 for the core (hypergeometric); Brick and dead-card risk from the 24 singletons and 26 level-0 Spells/Traps; Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.75 for a six-card hand; Interaction-layer ratings from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup/format fit (no tournament link or matchup data)
• Data gaps: Illegal copy counts: score capped; the legal list may differ No combos supplied, so floor, median, and ceiling are text-based inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent Empty side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, or brick rate Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
