Dominus Deck #774472 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss monsters from the Angelechy and Dominus families (Angelechy Shatranga, Angelechy Seneschal, Angelechy Bastion, Black-Winged Assault Dragon, Chaos Angel) that remove the opponent's board; Angelechy Endgame Problem and Angelechy Verdict banish or negate the opponent's cards on a wide board
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Angelechy Problem and Angelechy Opening to e4 on T1, then Synchro Summon an Angelechy boss through the Problem loop; hand traps hold up if the opponent answers
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Effect Veiler to stop the opponent's first search or summon, then convert the Extra Deck summon once the board is clear
• Recovery: Foolish Burial Goods and Terraforming recover a Field Spell or Spell/Trap, while Angelechy Brilliant Move and Angelechy Disturbance re-summon from the GY or banish
• After siding: Not assessable: the Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is a real Angelechy-Dominus Synchro shell, and the archetype core is almost always present (P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.998, Inferred). Its consistency is held back by 33 level-0 Spells and Traps, a Main Deck that is only about 11% exact-name Dominus, and 62 off-archetype copies that dilute the engine. Interaction is the real strength: 12 hand traps, 22 negation-text cards and 30 removal-text cards give strong going-second resistance (P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand) is about 0.79, Inferred). No recorded boards exist, so the combo floor and ceiling rest only on text reads. The score does not come from Dominus being a popular archetype, and it does not come from averaging card scores. The deck is Illegal (three cards over the TCG copy limit) and has no Side Deck, so the score is capped at 30 and is structural and theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun-style interaction emphasis, not a numerical blend. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); empty_side_deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 45.4, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always openable (about 0.998 for at least one core card in 5 cards)
• Dense interaction: 12 hand traps and 22 negation-text cards
• Synchro boss pool with 3000+ ATK options and banish effects
• Recursion and search through Angelechy Brilliant Move, Disturbance and Foolish Burial Goods

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three cards exceed the TCG copy limit
• No Side Deck (0 cards) so no post-side adaptability
• 33 level-0 Spells and Traps create dead-draw risk
• Low exact-name purity (11.4%) suggests a loose engine
• No combo data, so the output floor and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Angelechy Problem and Opening to e4 as the only T1 engine starters
• Extra Deck summon access for the boss monsters (15 Synchro cards spread across 11 names, with 2 copies each for most)
• Foolish Burial Goods and Terraforming as the only search for the Field Spell

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three cards exceed the TCG copy limit (Ash Blossom, Foolish Burial Goods, Dominus Impulse); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; Archetype core inclusion and per-card hand probabilities from usage statistics and probabilities
• Inferred: Engine consistency (D1) and brick risk (D2) from hypergeometric estimates and composition; Interaction density read from card text (D7, D8); Pilotability estimate (D14)
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
