Scrap Deck #392372 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon powerful Extra Deck boss monsters (Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Accesscode Talker) via mixed engines; Beatdown with assembled multi-archetype boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Attempt to set up Orcust/Scrap/Phantom Knights links with limited disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Danger! draws and board-breaker links to break opponent and summon
• Recovery: Recursion via Scrap Golem, Orcust GY effects, World Legacy Succession
• After siding: None – side deck contains 0 cards

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal for Master Duel because it runs a Forbidden Apollousa and an over-limit Called by the Grave, so its practical power is nullified and the evaluation is theoretical only. The list is a scattered pile of Scrap, Orcust, Danger!, Phantom Knights, and Red-Eyes pieces with only 19% exact Scrap purity and 20% of the meta core present, leading to low consistency and high brick risk from 43 cards and dead normal monsters. Its ceiling theoretically includes Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Accesscode Talker, but the median output is weak due to missing key engine cards and no recorded combos. Popularity or archetype stats did not earn points; the score reflects system cohesion and legality penalty, not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary Combo 100% (illegal cap overrides). Structural ≈ 35, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 30, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 20. Modifiers: Illegal deck violation (-13). Final formula: Illegal deck: normal formula not applied; capped low per rubric (structural ~35 reduced by illegality modifier to 22)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.25 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Multiple engine pieces (Scrap, Orcust, Danger!) provide theoretical toolbox options
• Some recursion and extra deck coverage with varied link monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal: contains Forbidden Apollousa and over-limit Called by the Grave
• Extremely low archetype purity (19% Scrap exact) and missing 80% of meta core cards
• 43-card main deck with many singletons and dead normal monsters (Dark Magician, Red-Eyes Black Dragon) increases bricks
• No side deck (0 cards) limits best-of-3 adaptability

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Apollousa prevents legal play
• Missing key Orcust core (Brass Bombard, Crescendo, Galatea x2) breaks engine coherence

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal (banlist tokens); Card text for all listed cards; Usage stats show core missing; Main/extra/side counts
• Observed: No parsed combos (0 boards recorded)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric probabilities from main deck size; Brick rate estimated from normal monsters and singleton density; Engine cohesion from archetype purity and missing core
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
