Raidraptor Deck #774345 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz chain through Rank-Up-Magic and Raidraptor/Phantom Knights Xyz monsters into a boss (Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon, Kali Yuga, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon).; Arsenal Falcon multi-attack and Break Sword / Malevolent Scythe board pressure once Xyz materials are established.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Level 4 Raidraptor searcher or Bloom Vulture, Normal Summon Tribute Lanius or Strangle Lanius, search a Rank-Up-Magic or a second Lanius, and build a Level 4 Xyz base; hold Ash Blossom for the opponent's first search or summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx "C", and the Dominus traps to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Raider's Wing and Simorgh recursion into a Rank-Up boss.
• Recovery: Raider's Wing and Mimicry/Noir Lanius recursion from the GY, plus Raidraptor Xyz materials that return to play, let the deck rebuild after a single interruption.
• After siding: No side deck is run (side_count 0); the deck has no post-side plan, so every game is played from the 44-card main.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into a Raidraptor/Phantom Knights engine: three 3-copy Lanius searchers, two 2-copy Bloom Vultures and Raider's Wings, and Ash Blossom x3 give a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand (Inferred from the hypergeometric table: 0.969 for the core group, 0.31 for any single 3-copy card). The score comes from consistency plus a strong closing ceiling (Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon, Kali Yuga) and interaction density on the system, not from the archetype's popularity or from averaging individual card scores. Median output is held back because the Rank-Up-Magic spells are singletons and the Rank-Up route is unreliable in going-first hands, and no recorded boards exist to confirm the typical output. Off-engine slots (Dominus x5, Mulcharmy x2, Simorgh x2) add some dead-draw risk, and the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan. Meta power is provisional because no dated metagame sample is supplied.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 67.6, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: off-engine dead slots (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*67.6 + 0.20*62 - 1 = 65.5, rounded to 65)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density (12 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of a live starter.
• Xyz boss ceiling is strong: Rising Rebellion Falcon, Ultimate Falcon, Kali Yuga.
• Hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Maxx "C") plus Dominus traps give interaction on both turns.
• Recursion (Raider's Wing, Lanius GY effects) supports rebuilding after disruption.

Weaknesses

• Rank-Up-Magic spells are singletons, so the Rank-Up route is unreliable in going-first hands.
• Five Dominus and two Mulcharmy slots are off-engine and can dead-draw.
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation.

Critical choke points

• A single Lanius starter in hand is often needed to start the Xyz base; if the opponent stops it, the line is slow.
• Rank-Up-Magic singletons are the main conversion point for the boss plays.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel; 44 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; no violations.; Three Limited cards (Maxx "C", Crossout Designator, Reinforcement of the Army) each run at 1 copy.; Card stats and text as listed in the evidence pack.; Hypergeometric draw table: 3-copy P(≥1 in 5) = 0.31, 2-copy = 0.2167, 1-copy = 0.1136.
• Inferred: Consistency: starter availability from searcher density and core-group probability.; Interaction density from negation and removal text counts.; Ceiling and median output from card text, since no recorded boards exist.; Brick and dead-draw risk from off-engine slots.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample).; Side deck and post-side plan (no side deck run).
• Data gaps: No parseable combos; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent. usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list for Force Strix, Arsenal Falcon, Wise Strix, and Kali Yuga (flagged absent but present in the list). The card list was treated as authoritative. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick rates) exists. Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
