Drytron Deck #774763 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Meteonis Drytron ritual into Drytron Meteonis DA Draconids (5000 ATK, text-based payoff, Inferred); Xyz/Link board pressure from Drytron Mu Beta Fafnir, Sylvan Princessprite, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS and Utopia (Inferred; only Utopia and Sylvan are in the list)
• Turn 1 (going first): Drytron starter (Nu II, Alpha Thuban, Delta Altais, Gamma Eltanin or Zeta Aldhibah) chaining into Drytron Meteonis via Drytron Nova and Drytron Fafnir (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps and negation: Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Red Reboot, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, plus Heavy Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster on the Spell/Trap board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Drytron GY banish and summon loops from Alpha Thuban, Delta Altais and Meteonis DA Draconids; Fuwalos draw on opponent summons (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens Drytron starters: its archetype-core group has about 99% chance of at least one piece in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric), though each 3-copy starter alone is only about 25% per opening hand. Its ceiling is text-based, with Meteonis Drytron leading to Drytron Meteonis DA Draconids at 5000 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so combo conversion and median output are Inferred from card text only. Interaction is dense (Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator, Red Reboot, Infinite Impermanence, several hand traps), which lifts the score for disrupting an established board and for going second. The score is capped because the list runs two Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent and one Forbidden F.A. Dawn Dragster, and it has no Side Deck, so it cannot adapt. Popularity (archetype usage stats) confirmed the core is real but did not add points, and the system was scored as a whole rather than by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in deck) (-12); No Side Deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural only. Uncapped 0.80*57 + 0.20*45 = 55 (Meta provisional); capped to 20 because the list contains Forbidden cards.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation package (16 hand-trap/negation cards)
• Strong Spell/Trap and card-level interaction (Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator, Red Reboot)
• High ritual ceiling through Meteonis Drytron to 5000 ATK Draconids (Inferred from text)
• Archetype core is well represented (99% at least one core card in a 5-card hand)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent and one Forbidden F.A. Dawn Dragster
• Empty Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low archetype purity (34.3%) with many off-archetype techs
• Extra Deck spent on 15 cards of mixed archetypes
• No combo recordings, so the score rests on text inference

Critical choke points

• Meteonis Drytron (single copy) as the ritual gateway to the top-end payoff
• Drytron starter density (3-copy starters at about 25% per hand)
• Forbidden copies must be removed before the list can be scored normally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Forbidden cards Triple Tactics Talent (2 copies) and F.A. Dawn Dragster (1 copy); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Side Deck is empty (0 cards); Archetype usage stats: 17 of 23 core cards present (73.9%)
• Inferred: Consistency from hypergeometric draw odds (0.99 archetype-core, 0.25 per 3-copy starter); Interaction density and going-second read from card text; Ritual ceiling from Meteonis Drytron to 5000 ATK payoff
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup fit set at a neutral 50 without a tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the export
