Dragon Link Deck #775133 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• 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: Link Summon into large Link boards (Borrelend Dragon, Borrelshroud Dragon, Borreload Liberator Dragon) off the Rokket and Borrel Dragon engine (Inferred from card text); Synchro, XYZ and Fusion extra-deck boards (Borreload Fatalflare Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Exosister Karmael) as follow-up (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Quick Launch, Rokket Loader or Rokket Tracer, chain Rokket searches and Special Summons into a first Link, backed by Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse and Infinite Impermanence held as interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) against the opponent's first Special Summon, then rebuild the Rokket engine from the GY (Inferred)
• Recovery: Rokket and Borrel GY recursion through Absorouter Dragon, Borrel Reboot, Triple Borrel Launch and Rokket Caliber's Tribute effect (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (Verified: Side Deck size 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Rokket engine: the core group of 23 copies gives P(at least one in a 5-card hand) of about 0.99 (Inferred, a proxy calculation), and Quick Launch, Rokket Loader and Rokket Tracer each sit at 3 copies. Its interaction package (Ash Blossom x2, Dominus Impulse x2, Infinite Impermanence x2, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Rokket Detonator and Borrelend's negation text) drives the strongest scores, and the going-second hand-trap odds of about 0.65 support D8. The extra deck carries several 3000+ ATK Link and Xyz boards, which lift the closing score. The score is not an average of card scores and does not rely on archetype popularity; no recorded combos, guides or tournament data exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based. The list is Illegal (Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon, Striker Dragon at 2 copies against a limit of 1), so the score is capped and reported as theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); no side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: normal 0.80*Structural(63) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-8) = 52, capped to 30 per Step 2 (theoretical and structural-only). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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, redundant Rokket starters with near-certain engine access in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: hand traps, traps and Link negations covering both turns (Inferred)
• High-ATK Link and Xyz closers available in the Extra Deck (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon and Striker Dragon over the copy limit (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation or post-side plan (Verified)
• Mixed Rokket, Borrel, Dominus and Mulcharmy sub-archetypes make the engine less coherent than a pure build (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Opening-hand starter access depends on Rokket Launch-family cards at 3 copies each, with the first Link needing Link material (Inferred)
• Forbidden card in the Extra Deck removes a Borrel Synchro line entirely (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; Borreload Savage Dragon Forbidden with 1 copy; Striker Dragon 2 copies against a limit of 1; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 against OCG size rules; Card texts and copy counts as listed in the evidence cards array; Archetype spread Rokket 18 / Borrel 11 / Dominus 5 counts
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.99 across core group (proxy); Going-second hand-trap access ≈ 0.65; Structural dimension scores from text and composition; Engine lines and recovery plans read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); D13 matchup and format fit; Median output D4 with no recorded boards
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (0 parseable boards); 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 (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) usage statistics in this deck flags contradict the cards list for several Extra Deck cards (Borrelend, Borrelshroud, Trisborrel, Fatalflare, Breachborrel, Striker Dragon, S:P Little Knight, Guardragon Pisty), so core_present 56% is unreliable Deck title is null Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
