D/D/D Deck #773171 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• 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: Pendulum/Xyz/Synchro/Fusion 'D/D/D' boss monsters (Deus Machinex 3000 ATK, Bright Armageddon 3500 ATK, Arc Crisis 4000 ATK) built from the Dark Contract engine; Dark Contract damage and Standby-phase pressure while stacking Pendulum and Dark Contract resources
• Turn 1 (going first): Dark Contract with the Gate (3 copies) or Pendulum set to find a D/D Pendulum monster, then build toward a D/D/D boss; hand traps held for the opponent's first Special Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C") to break the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Dark Contract searches
• Recovery: D/D Necro Slime and Dark Contract with the Zero King recursion from the GY; D/D Savant Copernicus and Kepler re-buy Pendulum scale
• After siding: Not evaluable: no Side Deck is supplied (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG as built: Dimension Shifter (Main) and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar (Extra) are Forbidden and each is run once, so the list is capped to a low, theoretical, structural-only score and does not receive a normal Final Contextual score. Within that structural read, the Dark Contract engine is accessible (3 copies of Dark Contract with the Gate give about 25% per opening hand, and the 24-card D/D core has about 95% chance of at least one card in a 5-card hand), and the hand-trap suite (10 cards, about 72% of going-second hands hold one) gives real interaction. The score is held back by the absence of recorded combos (combo output is text-only inference), an absent Side Deck, and a 55-card Main Deck with 70 off-archetype copies that dilutes engine coherence. Popularity is not credited: archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, not that it is strong, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-28); Banlist exposure (-5). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: structural 55 (theoretical only); normal 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability would be ~53 but is replaced by the illegal-list cap (25). Meta Power null (provisional).

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

• Dark Contract engine with 3-copy searcher redundancy
• Broad hand-trap and negation interaction (10 hand traps)
• Strong Extra Deck boss options at Rank/Level 8–12

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Dimension Shifter and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden
• No Side Deck (side_count 0)
• 70 off-archetype Main Deck copies dilute the engine
• No recorded boards to confirm a combo ceiling or median

Critical choke points

• Dark Contract with the Gate / Pendulum set as the single T1 engine starter
• The two Forbidden cards must be removed before any rated score can apply

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Dimension Shifter and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden and run at 1 copy each; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side 0 is within 0–15; Usage stats: 25 archetype stat rows; 13 of 23 core cards present (56.5%)
• Inferred: Dark Contract engine starter probability ≈ 0.25 per opening hand (3 copies); Hand-trap interaction density estimated from text roles; Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.72 per 6-card hand
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied (side_count 0)
