Predaplant Deck #773244 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Predaplant and Starving Venom boss monsters (Triphyoverutum, Dragostapelia, Predapower Fusion Dragon) off Polymerization-based lines, then close through Predator Counter negations and ATK pressure.; Synchro and Fusion boards via Bal Teah and Black Rose or Bramble Rose Dragon, with Mulcharmy Fuwalos as a draw-based follow-up.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio or Longinephila, search a Predap card or Polymerization, then Fusion Summon a boss with Predaprimitive or Predaplanning support.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Dominus Impulse to disrupt the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Byblisp or Lilizard recursion into a Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Banish Predaplant Byblisp or Longinephila from the GY to Special Summon or search again, using Princess Dracaena and Predaplant Chlamydosundew to bridge the Fusion material.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck carries no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system, not from averaging card power: the Predaplant archetype core (21 copies) reaches at least one opening-hand starter in about 96 percent of 5-card hands, and the 12 searcher effects and 6 hand traps give the engine some redundancy. The Fusion finishers (3000 to 3600 ATK bosses with negation text) give a strong ceiling, but no recorded boards exist, so median output is inferred, not measured. The deck is capped low because it is illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are over the Semi-Limited limit, and the Extra Deck holds 18 cards against a maximum of 15. The deck also has no Side Deck and no tournament link, so post-side and meta reads are absent. Popularity in usage statistics confirms the list is a real, accessible build, but it did not earn points by itself.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Extra Deck over size (-4); Illegal cap (-5). Final formula: Illegal cap: computed 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 52, minus 12 for banlist and Extra Deck exposure, then capped to 35. Meta provisional. Theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Archetype core is dense (21 copies), so most hands contain a Predaplant starter
• Redundant searchers (12) and recursion effects give independent restart routes
• Six hand traps plus broad negation and removal text give strong interaction on the field
• Fusion bosses with negation text give a high ceiling when the line completes

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse exceed the Semi-Limited limit by one copy each
• Extra Deck holds 18 cards against a maximum of 15
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Off-archetype copies (Mulcharmy, Dominus, Polymerization variants) reduce engine coherence (26 percent exact-name purity)

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck over the size limit must be fixed before the list can be played
• Fusion material availability depends on Predator Counter placement, so a single negation can stall the line
• Going-second plans depend on the six-card hand containing a hand trap (P = 0.581)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 47 cards and Extra Deck 18 cards; Extra exceeds the OCG maximum of 15; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Side Deck count is 0
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Predaplant core cards are common across the archetype (inclusion 50 to 72 percent)
• Inferred: Starter access probability of 0.957 for the archetype core group; Interaction density from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions
• Provisional: Median output and floor (no recorded boards); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or dated metagame); Meta power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
