Dragonmaid Deck #773974 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sheou/House Dragonmaid board with recurring Dragonmaid bodies and hand-trap/board-breaker support.; Grind out with tag-outs and GY recursion, then close with 3000-3500 ATK Dragons.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Parlor or Chamber to access Dragonmaid spells/traps, build Sheou/House, set Tidying, and hold hand traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droplet, MST, Nibiru, and hand traps to clear or thin the board, then convert the Dragonmaid engine into Sheou/House pressure.
• Recovery: Tag out small maids, recur with Tidying/Sheou/House, and rebuild the board across turns.
• After siding: No Side Deck is present; no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

This Dragonmaid list is a midrange/control system: its strongest opening lines use Parlor or Chamber to access the Dragonmaid engine, then convert into Sheou/House with Tidying and hand-trap cover rather than a huge multi-negate combo. The floor is modest because only about five clean one-card engine starters are present, while a large non-engine package can produce hands with interaction but no engine; the median plan is still a recurring Dragonmaid board with one Sheou negate and grind tools. It survives disruption better than a pure combo deck thanks to tag-outs, GY recursion, Tidying, and Sheou's return-summon loop, and it can close with 3000-3500 ATK Dragons after Droplet/board-breaker clears. The score is earned from consistency, median output, interaction, and recovery on the system, not from Dragonmaid's usage/popularity, and it is not an average of individual card scores. No dated metagame sample or recorded combo boards were supplied, so meta and ceiling claims remain provisional/inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: engine compactness (2); non-engine and conditional starter density (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.63 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dragonmaid core has strong GY/recursion grind through tag-outs, Tidying, House, and Sheou.
• Sheou provides an omni-negate with 3500 ATK and a return-summon loop.
• High non-engine interaction density: Droplet x3, Droll x3, Nibiru x2, Veiler x2, Crow, and Fuwalos.
• Extra Deck has broad Fusion/Synchro/Link coverage with House x2, Sheou, Lady's, Filia, Khaos, Chaos Angel, Hieratic, and Gravity.
• Bystial Magnamhut adds Dragon search and GY interaction within the legal Semi-Limited count.

Weaknesses

• Only about five clean one-card engine starters in a 30-card deck, so low-engine hands are possible.
• Hospitality and Changeover are conditional and can be awkward without the right Dragonmaid targets/materials.
• No recorded combo boards means ceiling, median, and real conversion are text-only inferences.
• No Side Deck is present, so post-side adaptation is absent.
• No dated metagame or tournament data exists, leaving matchup claims provisional.
• Usage-stat flags conflict with the resolved card list for several Extra Deck core cards.

Critical choke points

• Stopping the first Normal Summon of Parlor or Chamber can leave the engine stranded.
• Hospitality without a Dragonmaid target in hand or GY is a dead conditional card.
• Changeover needs correct Fusion materials and does not start the engine alone.
• Sheou's negate can be baited; losing Sheou removes the main omni-interaction piece.
• GY hate or banish effects can disrupt the Dragonmaid recursion loop.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal for duel-links at 30 Main Deck, 9 Extra Deck, and 0 Side Deck.; Bystial Magnamhut is Semi-Limited and the deck runs 2 legal copies.; Card texts for Dragonmaid Sheou, Tidying, Hospitality, Parlor, Chamber, and related cards are present.; Usage statistics show Dragonmaid core cards are typically included in the archetype's lists.
• Observed: Composition: 17 exact-name Dragonmaid copies and 22 off-archetype copies across Main/Extra.; Role tags: 8 hand traps, 11 tech cards, 5 searcher-text cards, 5 negation-text cards, and 8 removal-text cards.; The deck has 0 recorded combo boards in the evidence pack.; Extra Deck is 6 Fusion, 1 Synchro, and 2 Link monsters.
• Inferred: P(>=1 Parlor/Chamber in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.627.; Estimated full-brick/low-engine rate is roughly 15-20%.; Sheou negate plus House/Tidying recursion is the realistic text-based ceiling.; Median board is closer to one Sheou negate or a modest Dragonmaid field than a large multi-negate board.; Dragonmaid recursion gives better-than-average grind but not strong first-turn resilience to a stopped Normal Summon.; Droplet/MST/Nibiru/hand-trap density gives real going-second board-breaking.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null/provisional because no dated metagame sample was supplied.; Matchup coverage and format fit are provisional without tournament context.; Side Deck adaptability is provisional because the side count is 0 and no post-side data exists.; Tournament Reliability is estimated from consistency and error tolerance, not measured event results.
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) - those signals are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Usage statistics mark several Extra Deck core cards as not in this deck even though the resolved card list includes them; the resolved list is treated as authoritative.
