Dracoslayer Deck #774863 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-to-Link/Xyz/Synchro pressure: Pendulum summons from the Pendulum Zones build board, then Extra Deck Link and Synchro monsters (Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon as the top finisher) convert it into damage.; Dracoslayer/Majespecter Extra Deck extenders (Majester Paladin, Dinoster Power, Ignister Prominence) that recur Pendulum monsters for repeated board presence.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Majespecter or Dracoslayer Pendulum starters, search a second Pendulum into the other Pendulum Zone, Pendulum Summon, then Link Summon into the Extra Deck finishers.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand for Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Infinite Impermanence to slow the opponent's first combo, then rebuild the Pendulum board with the Majespecter engine.
• Recovery: Majespecter Crow, Raccoon and Fox search Majespecter Spells, Traps and Monsters from the Deck, and Majesty's Pegasus and Majespecter Wind restart the board from the GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the Side Deck is empty and the list is not tuned for best-of-3.

Why it scores here

The deck's Pendulum engine is consistent on paper: the Dracoslayer and Majespecter core (27 copies) gives roughly a 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 23 searcher-text cards add a second layer of access (Inferred, hypergeometric). Conversion is the weak point: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and floor cannot be measured and are inferred from card text only, with the Extra Deck's Link and Synchro finishers carrying the top end. Interaction is real but thin (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Majespecter Tornado and Tempest), and going-second hand-trap coverage is about 46% (Inferred). The score is capped because the list is illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards are run, and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15. The score was not built by averaging card scores, and the popularity of the Dracoslayer archetype did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 - 9 = 45.8, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only score, Meta provisional)

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

• Core archetype cards have high access (about 97% in a 5-card hand, Inferred)
• Searcher and recursion text gives redundant starters
• Pendulum Zone plus Link and Synchro Extra Deck provides a wide late-game finisher pool

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards are run and the Extra Deck has 17 cards against a 15-card limit
• Split engine: Dracoslayer exact-name purity is only 22.5%
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 plan
• No recorded combos, so the floor and ceiling are inferred from text only

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone setup: a single Pendulum Zone disruption can leave the Dracoslayer engine without its second scale
• Extra Deck legality: the list cannot be played as built until the overflow and Forbidden cards are removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 2 Forbidden cards run, Extra Deck 17 > 15; Main Deck 54 cards within 40–60; Side Deck 0; Archetype core probability and searcher counts from the evidence
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency about 97% for the archetype core; Going-second hand-trap access about 46%; Board conversion and interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta-share and format fit (no tournament data); Post-side plan (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck registered
