Dragunity Deck #773049 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sacred Beast / Phantasm Extra Deck boss (Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts 5000, Infinity of the Sacred Beasts 4000, Calamity of the Sacred Beasts 4000) reached through Sacred Beast Level 10 summon effects; Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket (5000 ATK Xyz) and Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair (3300 ATK Synchro) as field-breaking closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Mulcharmy draw engine on an empty field, Sacred Beasts Released or Thunderclap to search Level 10 Sacred Beasts, then Summon an Extra Deck boss; the hand-trap suite is held back because going first gives no hand-trap window
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with 13 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Evenly Matched) to slow the opponent's combo, then rebuild through Martyr of the Sacred Beasts and Sacred Beast Level 10 summons
• Recovery: Card of the Soul and Sacred Beasts Released re-search Sacred Beast monsters from the Deck; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia redraw cards once the field is empty; Martyr and Fallen Paradise recur from the GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck's structure is a Sacred Beast / Phantasm engine that reliably opens a searcher line (21 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.92) and converts it into a Level 10 Extra Deck boss, which is the source of the ceiling and closing power. Interaction is dense (13 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, 24 removal-text cards), so the deck is strongest going second, where P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand) ≈ 0.82. The score comes from consistency, redundancy and interaction measured on the whole 55-card system, not from averaging the individual card scores, and it is held down by the 55-card main deck, the empty Side Deck, and the lack of combo or matchup data. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core shows only 50% of a 7-copy group in an opening hand, and there is no tournament or meta share. Because the list runs Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2, the deck is illegal and receives a capped, structural-only score rather than a normal Final Contextual score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: the normal 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (= 59 before modifiers) is replaced by a low structural-only score of 35 because the deck exceeds a copy limit; Meta is provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 text (21 cards) makes a Level 10 Sacred Beast starter likely to be found early
• 13 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards give layered interaction, strongest going second
• Extra Deck bosses at 4000–5000 ATK give high closing power on a board that survives interaction
• Multiple recursion routes (Martyr, Fallen Paradise, Released from GY) support interruption recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited copy limit
• 55-card main deck is far above standard size, diluting starters and raising brick risk
• Mulcharmy cards are dead while the player controls cards, which conflicts with the Sacred Beast field-based engine
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies is an illegal choke point and must be cut to 2 before any normal score applies
• Sacred Beast Level 10 summons depend on finding a Level 10 monster with a searcher, so a missed searcher stalls the whole line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules (40–60 / 0–15 / 0–15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies with a legal limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Six Limited cards are each run at 1 copy, which is legal; Archetype exact-name purity is 5.7%; Phantasm family is 26 copies
• Observed: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring has 70% usage inclusion across the archetype sample; Droll & Lock Bird has 70% usage inclusion across the archetype sample
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in a 5-card opener) ≈ 0.92 and P(≥1 hand trap in a 6-card hand, going second) ≈ 0.82, from hypergeometric draws; The deck's primary engine is a Sacred Beast Level 10 summon chain, read from card text; Brick risk is moderate because Mulcharmy cards conflict with the field-based engine; The 55-card main reduces starter density
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup fit and tournament reliability are set without tournament or matchup data; Side Deck adaptability is unevaluable because no side deck exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null and the archetype field reads Dragunity although the engine is Phantasm/Sacred Beasts No Side Deck is present, so post-side plans cannot be evaluated
