Invoked Deck #773266 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion-summon Dracotail/Magistus boss monsters (Arthalion 3000, Secreterion Dragon 3000, Zoroa Conflagrant Calamity 2900) from the Extra Deck off Dracotail starters.; Hand-trap and negation exchanges (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Maxx C) that trade for the opponent's board or combo, leaving the Fusion boss as the closer.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter (Faimena discard, Lukias or Urgula) searches or Fusion-summons a Dracotail boss; Ketu or Rahu convert the extra-deck slot into a second threat.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Nibiru and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first combo activation, then rebuild through Dracotail recursion from the GY.
• Recovery: Dracotail monsters return to the Deck or GY through Urgula, Phryxul and Horn/Sting draw effects; Mululu and Gulamel re-fuel the board once the Fusion summon is disrupted.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be verified; the list cannot be sided as submitted.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system and not as an average of its cards: it reliably opens a Dracotail starter about a third of the time on the play (P(≥1 three-copy starter in 5) ≈ 0.34), with searchers (85% P(≥1) for the searcher-text group) carrying the engine. Conversion is strong at the boss end, since Arthalion, Secreterion Dragon and Zoroa Conflagrant Calamity each reach 2900–3000 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Interaction is dense (8 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, 12 removal-text cards), and the going-second hand-trap probability is about 0.76, which is the deck's most credible going-second plan. It is capped to a structural-only 30 because the list is illegal: two over-limit three-copy Semi-Limited cards and two Forbidden cards. Popularity did not earn points; the archetype core is only 9.1% present in the list.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57.4, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-7); copy_limit_exposure (-3); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57.4 + 0.20*50 - 12 = 43.9; ILLEGAL cap applied (legality rule): final score capped at 30, structural-only evaluation.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 interaction package: 8 hand traps plus negation and removal text on 9 and 12 cards.
• Boss-level Fusion, Synchro and Link threats at 2800–3000 ATK.
• Dracotail recursion gives redundancy after a single disruption.

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and two over-limit Semi-Limited cards.
• Mixed archetype spread (54 off-archetype main copies) weakens engine coherence.
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan.

Critical choke points

• The Dracotail Fusion starter (Faimena, Lukias, Urgula, Ketu, Rahu) is required to access most of the Extra-Deck bosses.
• Ketu and Rahu are both Limited (1 legal copy each) and are single-copy access points.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 over-limit cards and 2 Forbidden cards in an OCG list (40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side).; Card stats and banlist status from the evidence pack.; Hypergeometric probabilities (0.3376 starter, 0.7639 hand trap).
• Inferred: Consistency, brick and interaction reads from card text and composition.; Going-second hand-trap plan.; Dimension scores D1–D11 and D14.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated meta sample).; D13 matchup and format fit.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent. No Side Deck registered, so post-side plan is unverifiable. No win-rate telemetry for OCG; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred. Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample.
