D/D/D Deck #773213 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Tempo
• 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: Extra Deck D/D/D boss summons (Kali Yuga, Super Doom King Dark Armageddon, Deus Machinex) enabled by Pendulum and Dark Contract searches (text-derived, Inferred); Link and Xyz pressure from D/D/D Gilgamesh, Zeus Ragnarok and Marksman King Tell (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum-set the D/D pair, search with Dark Contract with the Gate or D/D Count Surveyor, then reach a D/D/D boss through Pendulum or Xyz summons (Inferred from card text, untested)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through D/D Necro Slime and Dark Contract recursion (Inferred, no recorded boards)
• Recovery: Dark Contract recursion and Swirl Slime or Necro Slime GY summons refill the field from a broken board (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: Side Deck size is 0, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is a D/D/D Pendulum and Dark Contract structure with 26 archetype-core copies, which gives an Inferred 96.6% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand. Its interaction layer is broad (8 hand-trap-tagged cards and 16 negation-text cards), but the list runs 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse against an OCG limit of 2, so it is illegal as built. No recorded boards, combo steps, tournament results or side deck exist, so the ceiling, median and post-side scores are text-only inference. Popularity was not used as evidence of strength, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score. The score is capped at 25 because the list is illegal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo secondary (about 85:15, mainly for D3/D4). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Semi-Limited over-limit) (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: uncapped 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) - 12 banlist modifier ≈ 34, capped to 25 as theoretical/structural-only. Meta Power null (Provisional). Not a normal Final Contextual score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core archetype access is high (≈97% of openings contain a core card, Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards
• Extra Deck flexibility: 15 slots across four summon types

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse against an OCG limit of 2
• Low archetype purity (0% exact-name copies); 14 tech cards dilute the engine
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Dark Contract and Pendulum zone setup: losing the D/D pair in the Pendulum Zone stops most boss routes (Inferred)
• Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse over the limit: a legal event would remove one copy each (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules [40,60]/[0,15]/[0,15]; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse each at 3 copies against OCG limit 2; Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster are Limited and run at 1 copy (legal); Usage stats: 25 rows; 13 of 23 core cards present (56.5%)
• Inferred: Core-group hypergeometric odds: ≈0.97 for one card in a 5-card hand; Interaction density from text flags (8 hand traps, 16 negation, 26 removal); Going-second hand-trap estimate: 0.63 of 6-card hands contain one; Midrange primary and Combo secondary from card text and the Extra Deck mix
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit (no tournament link; archetype meta-share absent)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No side deck: post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
