Crimson Dragon Deck #773119 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes and Bystial boards converted by Blue-Eyes Ultimate/Jet/Tyrant and Bystial Dis Pater-style Extra Deck beaters (ceiling only, no recorded boards); Mulcharmy draw-and-hand-advantage grind into Extra Deck synchro or link beats
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Tuner (Sage with Eyes of Blue or Maiden of White) and search toward Blue-Eyes; Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia on empty field for draws, Droll & Lock Bird and Ash Blossom as protection (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open a six-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird) and spend one to interrupt the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Sage or Wishes (Inferred)
• Recovery: Blue-Eyes and Bystial banish-and-Special Summon effects plus Mulcharmy draws to refill hand after a disrupted turn (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a two-copy OCG limit, and The Bystial Lubellion is run three times against a one-copy limit, so the score is capped and the evaluation is structural and theoretical only. Structurally it is a loose three-archetype mashup (Blue-Eyes, Bystial, Mulcharmy with a Crimson Dragon/Synchro Extra Deck), with 70 of 55 main-deck copies outside the exact archetype name and 29 distinct cards, so engine coherence is weak. Its interaction density is high (Ash Blossom, two Solemn cards, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Nibiru), which earns the end-board interaction score, while the single-copy Bystial and Blue-Eyes engines stay thin and the core starters carry roughly 25% per-specific-card odds in a going-first opening hand. No combos, tournament context, or side deck were supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-based inference only, and no score was reached by averaging the individual card scores or by archetype popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; strategy unclear, no combo evidence). Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(41) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 40, then banlist modifier -8 → 32 (Meta provisional, unused)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 suite across hand traps, Solemn cards, and spell/trap removal
• Broad Blue-Eyes and Bystial closing options in the Extra Deck
• Mulcharmy draw engine gives card flow in long games

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and The Bystial Lubellion
• Three archetype cores with low exact-name purity, so engines compete for the same slots
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• High brick and conditional-card rate in the opening hand

Critical choke points

• Opening-hand Tuner: Sage, Maiden of White and Neo Kaiser Sea Horse are the only Level 1 or 4 Tuner routes; losing them stalls the Blue-Eyes plan
• Single-copy Bystial and Blue-Eyes Extra Deck targets (Druiswurm, Magnamhut, Tyrant, Ultimate Spirit) can be stranded by a single hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts from legality; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG limit 2; The Bystial Lubellion 3 copies vs OCG limit 1; Printed card stats and text for the listed cards
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw tables; Hand-trap interaction density and closing power from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and match record are absent No side deck registered, so post-side behaviour is unknown No win-rate or brick telemetry exists in YGOVN
