Legality
Main 41 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Machine-type Xyz and Link monsters (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe, Infinitrack Earth Slicer) built on EARTH Machine Tribute summons and graveyard recursion; Direct damage from Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max and piercing damage from Train Connection
- Turn 1 (going first): Search an Infinitrack monster or Outrigger Extension with the searcher effects, then Tribute-summon a Machine to bring out a Link or Xyz monster
- Turn 2 (going second): Little reliable plan: the deck has no hand traps or floodgates, so a going-second opponent is answered only by sequential Tribute summons and removal from the Main Deck
- Recovery: Banish Machine monsters from the graveyard to revive Infinitrack Trencher, Infinitrack Tunneller, and Infinitrack Crab Crane, and use Road Roller to rebuild the board
- After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens its engine because 14 searcher effects and 11 three-copy monsters give a strong chance of a starter in hand, and the Tribute-summon Machines keep the board moving. Its conversion comes from Link and Xyz monsters that depend on EARTH Machine Tributes, and from graveyard recursion that lets it rebuild after a lost board. It survives disruption only partially: it has no hand traps, no floodgates, and no side deck, so a going-second opponent gets little resistance. The score was not earned by Train or Infinitrack popularity, and the individual card scores were not averaged; it reflects how the system holds together. Because the Extra Deck is over the Master Duel limit, the deck is capped low and is judged only as a structural read, with no normal final score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 65 | P(at least one of the 3-copy starters in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.33 each, with 14 searcher effects giving ≈ 0.89 to find a search card (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | Many EARTH-Machine Tribute-summon monsters and 3-copy Infinitrack bricks give a moderate chance of dead cards in hand (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | Ceiling read from card text: Liebe and Earth Slicer can convert a single Machine board, but no recorded combo boards exist to confirm it (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded boards, so the median output is unmeasured and rests on text alone (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 45 | Recursion via graveyard banish gives some route redundancy, but there is no hand trap or independent backup line (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Graveyard recursion through Trencher, Tunneller, Crab Crane and Road Roller gives good resource regeneration (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 45 | Removal text on 12 cards and negation text on 7 cards, with no hand traps and no floodgates (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 35 | No hand traps or floodgates, so going-second board-breaking depends on Main Deck removal only (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Liebe at 4000 ATK and Gustav Max's 2000 direct damage give real closing power (Verified card text) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | Compact 41-card Main Deck with 17 distinct cards, but only 36% exact-name Train purity across two related sub-archetypes (Verified) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 35 | Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a 15-card limit, which makes the Extra Deck illegal (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No side deck is registered (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 30 | No tournament or meta-share link is supplied; only 1 of 25 usage-core cards is present in this list (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 50 | Several multi-step Tribute and Xyz lines, but the sequencing is standard for this archetype (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (-8); No side deck (-2); No recorded combos (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46, then modifiers -12 = 34 (theoretical/structural read only; Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.33 · 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 searcher effects make the engine easy to find
- Graveyard recursion gives strong resource regeneration
- Liebe and Gustav Max provide high closing power from a compact Main Deck
Weaknesses
- Extra Deck exceeds the Master Duel limit, so the deck is illegal as built
- No hand traps, no floodgates, and no side deck
- Going-second interaction is limited to Main Deck removal and Tribute summons
Critical choke points
- Tribute summons depend on EARTH Machine monsters being present, so a board wipe or a single removal can leave the engine without fuel
- The Xyz and Link lines depend on specific Machine materials
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One Extra Deck monster (for example one copy of Infinitrack Mountain Smasher or Number 27) | None needed | Reducing the Extra Deck to 15 cards makes the deck legal; no other change is required to fix the size violation |
| 2 | One 3-copy Infinitrack monster | A hand trap or floodgate for going-second interaction, if the format allows it | The deck has zero interaction for going second, which is its largest structural gap |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Extra Deck holds 17 cards, above the Master Duel limit of 15; Main Deck holds 41 cards with the copy counts shown; Card text for Liebe and Gustav Max confirms their ATK and direct-damage effects; No hand traps or floodgates in the list; No side deck registered
- Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities from the hypergeometric estimate; Removal and negation density from card text; Recursion-based resource regeneration
- Provisional: Meta and format-fit reads, since no dated metagame sample or tournament link is supplied
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first and going-second splits are inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
