Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tenpai Dragon and Sangen Dragion Synchro/Fusion boards (Transcendent Dragion 3000 ATK, Trident Dragion 3000 ATK, Secreterion Dragon 3000 ATK) built from Mulcharmy draw-fuel and Tenpai/Sangen searches; Sky Striker Ace - Zero and Kagari link pressure with Sky Striker spell recursion; Starving Venom and Baronne de Fleur as backup closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mulcharmy or Tenpai starter, use Pot of Sloth or Mulcharmy draws for card advantage, and hold Forbidden Droplet, Red Reboot or Maxx C for the opponent's first play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet, Red Reboot, Maxx C and Heavy Storm or Dark Hole to clear the opponent's first board, then Synchro into a 3000-ATK boss from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recover Tenpai monsters from the GY with Tenpai Dragon Fadra and Genroku, rebuild Sangen searches through Paidra and Sangen Summoning, and reuse Mulcharmy draws
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot change its interaction suite between games

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its strongest reads are interaction density (Forbidden Droplet, Red Reboot, Maxx C, Heavy Storm, Dark Hole, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Book of Eclipse) and card-advantage engines (Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia, Pot of Sloth), which together give a usable plan on both turn orders. Its closers are real: three 3000-ATK Dragion and Dragon Synchro/Fusion monsters plus Starving Venom and Baronne de Fleur, reachable through Tenpai and Sangen searches. Engine cohesion is weak: only 6 of 40 main cards carry the exact Tenpai Dragon name (10.9% exact-name purity), and several of the interaction spells (Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, Lightning Storm) destroy the deck's own monsters, so the Tenpai engine and the staple suite conflict. The deck has no side deck, which zeroes post-side adaptability and lowers tournament reliability. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; no card scores were averaged, and the ceiling was not reported as the median because no recorded boards exist.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, D13 dropped and renormalised over 95 (meta-neutral structural score). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: engine_conflicts (-2); banlist_exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional). 0.80*57.3 + 0.20*45 = 54.8; modifiers -3 => 51.8 rounded to 52

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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

• Layered interaction: hand traps, negation and board wipes cover both turn orders
• Mulcharmy draw engine gives card advantage and resilience to one disruption
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers (3000-ATK Dragion and Dragon bosses) convert a board into a win

Weaknesses

• Low archetype cohesion: 10.9% exact-name purity and a staple-heavy main deck
• Own-board destruction spells conflict with the Tenpai engine
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia (6 copies) are the main card-advantage source; losing them to a hand trap or board wipe leaves few draws
• Single-copy Sangen Summoning and Sangen Kaimen are the only Sangen searchers; if unavailable, Paidra carries the Sangen search alone
• Chundra (one copy) is the Tenpai tuner for Synchro lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under master-duel rules with 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; All Limited and Semi-Limited cards run within legal copies; Exact-name archetype purity 10.9% from composition data; Side deck is empty
• Observed: Usage stats show 14 of 21 core cards in the main-deck list (see data gap on extra-deck flags)
• Inferred: Midrange primary strategy from interaction density plus draw engines; Hypergeometric Mulcharmy access of about 0.58 in a 5-card hand; Interaction layering and board-breaking claims from card text; Closing power from listed 3000-ATK bosses
• Provisional: Matchup fit (D13), excluded from the structural score; Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates usage_statistics flags Sangenpai Bident Dragion, Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion, Trident Dragion, Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon, Baronne de Fleur and Hiita as not in the deck (in_this_deck false) although the cards array lists them in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct 66.7% likely undercounts. Only Kuibelt the Blade Dragon is truly absent, which would give about 20 of 21 core cards present No side deck, so there is no post-side evidence Deck title is null in the source record
