Dragunity Deck #792958 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 15 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dragunity Synchro and Link boards (Ascalon, Areadbhair, Arma Leyvaten, Gae Dearg, Trident) that push large ATK through a board the deck has already cleared; Equip-based ATK growth from Dragunity Divine Lance, Dragunity Phalanx and Dragunity Arma Mystletainn
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dragunity starter (Remus, Quirinus, Dragon Ravine), search a second Dragunity piece, then Synchro or Link into a Dragunity boss while holding Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C) to stop the opponent's starter, then rebuild a Dragunity board through Dragon Ravine and Dragunity Quirinus
• Recovery: Recur Dragunity monsters from the Graveyard through Dragunity Phalanx equips and Dragunity Arma Mystletainn, plus Dragunity Divine Wind to add a Dragon or Winged Beast back to hand
• After siding: Side list is loose (Forbidden Droplet, Gadarla, Return of the Dragon Lords, Enemy Controller); no post-side performance data exists to confirm a reliable swap plan

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a Dragunity starter: the 13 archetype-core copies give about an 82% chance of at least one in a five-card opening hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), and the Dragunity Knight Synchro and Link bosses in the Extra Deck give it a strong closing board when the engine lands. Interaction is the deck's real strength, with nine hand traps and several negation or removal spells keeping the engine alive through the opponent's first response (Inferred from card text). Offsetting that, 34 of the 47 Main Deck copies are off-archetype or generic, so the deck is less coherent than its name suggests, and the Side Deck is a loose collection with no clear post-side plan. No recorded boards exist for this deck, so combo ceiling and median output are text-only inferences and are scored low-confidence. The deck is illegal in OCG because three Forbidden Extra Deck cards are run, so its structural score is theoretical and the final score is capped low. Popularity was not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.3, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-12); Illegal cap (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(57.3) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(57) = 57.2, then banlist exposure modifier -12 = 45.2, then Illegal cap applied: final 40 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (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 present and reliably opened in five-card hands (Inferred)
• Nine hand traps and layered negation give strong interaction on both turns (Inferred)
• Extra Deck carries high-ATK Dragunity Synchro bosses that close games (Verified stats)
• Searcher density (12 cards) and Graveyard recursion help recover after disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden Extra Deck cards are run (Verified)
• Only 45% of Main Deck copies are exact Dragunity names; many generic tech and off-archetype cards dilute the engine (Verified)
• Missing four high-inclusion core Extra Deck cards (Luin, Romulus, Georgius, Areadbhair partly present) (Verified usage)
• Side Deck lacks a coherent post-side plan (Provisional)
• No recorded boards exist, so combo output cannot be measured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Dragunity Knight - Ascalon and Areadbhair depend on a Dragunity Tuner plus non-Tuner Dragon or Winged Beast; losing the Tuner to a hand trap or removal stalls the closing line (Inferred)
• Dragon Ravine is a single-copy-type searcher for the Dragunity line; without it the restart route is slower (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is illegal: three Forbidden Extra Deck cards are run (Borreload Savage Dragon, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur); Main 47, Extra 15, Side 15 are within OCG size rules; Archetype purity is 45.2% exact Dragunity names; Core Dragunity cards Luin, Romulus and Georgius are absent from this list despite high usage inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access about 82% in five-card hands (hypergeometric); Interaction density from hand traps and negation text; Going-second plan through hand traps and rebuild; Restart routes through Dragon Ravine, Divine Wind and Graveyard recursion
• Provisional: Meta and tournament reliability without a dated metagame sample; Post-side plan without performance data
• Data gaps: No recorded boards exist, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null, so the deck is identified by archetype and id only
