Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz boss pressure from the DoomZ and Power Patron Extra Deck (Jupiter, Varudras, Graflareio, Drastrius, TY-PHON), with Vidolium (5000 ATK) and Drastea (2400 ATK) as additional threats; Equip-based Xyz chains (DoomZ Command, DoomZ Break, Power Patron DoomZ) that convert a single equipped monster into a board-breaking Xyz
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Power Patron Portal, DoomZ Change, Medius, Mulcharmy draw engine) to reach the DoomZ Xyz line on turn 1-2; no combo boards were supplied, so the exact line is Inferred from card text
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Maxx C as hand traps (about 65 percent chance of at least one in a 6-card hand) to interrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through the searchers
• Recovery: Recursion through DoomZ Raiders, Drastea special summon from hand after a destruction, and Medius returning from the GY; Inferred from text
• After siding: No side deck is registered in this list (side count 0); no post-side plan can be scored

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher (about 95 percent chance of at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate) and has enough DoomZ and Power Patron starters to reach its Xyz line by turn 2. Its strongest point is the system itself: a dense chain of searchers and draw engines feeds the Xyz boss pool, and multiple hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C) give it real interaction on the second player's turn. The closing power (Jupiter 3500, Varudras 3000, Vidolium 5000 ATK) is high, but no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-inferred and carry a wider band. The score does not come from DoomZ being a popular archetype, and it does not come from averaging card scores. Off-archetype splash (Branded, Ecclesia, Springans, Number) and the absence of any side deck pull the score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 68.5, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); engine conflicts and splash (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*68.5 + 0.20*62 - 3 = 64.2, rounded to 64

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Searcher density (17 copies) gives a very high chance of a searcher in opening 5
• Six hand traps plus four negation texts give layered second-turn interaction
• High-ATK Xyz closers (Jupiter, Varudras, Vidolium, TY-PHON) give strong end-board power
• Multiple independent starters and recursion (Raiders, Drastea, Medius) keep lines alive after disruption

Weaknesses

• Only about 38 percent of the main deck is exact DoomZ; splash cards compete for the same slots
• Mulcharmy bodies are conditional on controlling no cards, which creates dead draws in the opening hand
• No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No combo boards or tournament data, so the floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Xyz summon of the boss monsters depends on having two matching-level DoomZ or Power Patron monsters on the field
• Hand traps are dead without an opponent activation; a turn-1 opponent that does nothing leaves 2 to 3 dead cards

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Maxx C Limited at 1 copy; The Fallen and The Virtuous Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Composition: 21 distinct main cards, 13 Xyz, 1 Synchro, 1 Fusion, 38.2 percent exact-name purity; Role counts: 6 hand traps, 17 searcher texts, 22 removal texts, 4 negation texts
• Inferred: Consistency: P at least one searcher in opening 5 = 0.9489; hand trap in 6-card going-second hand = 0.6496; Combo ceiling and closing power from Xyz boss stats and card text, not from recorded boards; Interruption resilience and recovery from card text (Raiders, Drastea, Medius)
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); no dated meta sample or tournament link; Post-side plan (D12); no side deck registered
• 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 absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown usage_statistics marks Drastrius, Graflareio, Jupiter, Sargas, Varudras, DoomZ Break and Springans Merrymaker as not in this deck, but the resolved card list includes them; this evaluation trusts the resolved card list (zone extra) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; no side deck is registered
