Predaplant Deck #775102 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Predaplant Extra Deck Fusion/Synchro bosses (Starving Venom Predapower Fusion Dragon, Predaplant Dragostapelia, Starving Venom Wing Dragon) reached through Polymerization-based summons and Predator Counter board control; Hand-trap-protected Predaplant board pressure, with Clear Wing and Black Rose Dragon as backup bosses
• Turn 1 (going first): Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio or Longinephila searches a Predap/Predaplant card; Predaprimitive or Super Polymerization turns the board into Extra Deck bosses (Inferred from card text, no combo data)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C" and Infinite Impermanence to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Predaplant searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Predaplant Byblisp and Darlingtonia Cobra recur from the GY via search and Special Summon text; Predaplanning and Predapruning add recursion (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon are Forbidden in OCG and each runs one copy, so the score is capped and reported as theoretical, structural-only. Structurally the deck opens its Predaplant engine reliably, with a 97% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), and its searchers give several independent routes into the Extra Deck bosses. Interaction is dense for an OCG list: six hand traps, Dominus Spark, Predaplanning and Dominus Impulse give it layered answers to the opponent's first plays. The score comes from consistency, interaction and boss access on the system, not from Predaplant being a popular archetype and not from averaging the card scores. Combo output is unscored because the export holds no parseable boards, and the empty side deck leaves post-side adaptability at its floor.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in-format) (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap (theoretical structural-only). Legal-form formula 0.80*58.5 + 0.20*55 = 57.8, with banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 45.8; capped to 35 because the list is Illegal. Meta Provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 dense (19 copies), so most opening hands contain an engine piece
• Six hand traps plus Dominus Spark and Predaplanning give layered first-turn interaction
• Extra Deck bosses reach 3300 to 3600 ATK when the Polymerization line connects

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden Extra Deck cards (Albion, Crystal Wing) must be removed before any play
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Only 20% exact-name Predaplant purity; the deck splits across Predap, Dominus and Branded sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Polymerization access: Super Polymerization, Instant Fusion and Ultra Polymerization are the only routes to several Extra Deck bosses
• Predator Counter placement: many Extra Deck effects depend on a monster carrying the counter

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Albion the Branded Dragon and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon are Forbidden and each runs 1 copy; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Copy histogram 10x1, 6x2, 6x3 sums to 40 main cards; Card stats and text for all 40 main and 15 extra cards are present in the evidence
• Observed: Archetype usage: Predaplant Dragostapelia 69%, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon 67%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 64%; No recorded combo boards exist for this deck (combos_evidence total 0)
• Inferred: 97% chance of at least one archetype-core card in 5-card opening hand; Hand-trap coverage: 65% chance of at least one hand trap in 6-card going-second hand; Turn-1 and turn-2 plans, going-first and going-second plans, and recovery plan are read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null): no dated metagame sample; archetype share absent; Dimension 13 (matchup and format fit)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: Albion and Crystal Wing are Forbidden in OCG; the score is theoretical and structural-only 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 exists in YGOVN; going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
