Legality
Main 20 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel gains ATK and pressures the board, backed by Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord as a 3000 ATK finisher when its summon condition is met; Removal and negation (Dark Hole, Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon, Cubic Causality) clear the opponent's board so Duza can attack
- Turn 1 (going first): Open with Cubic Dharma or a Cubic Karma to search and set up Duza, then use Dark Hole or Mystical Space Typhoon on the opponent's key card
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Cubic Causality or a removal spell for the opponent's first threat, then establish Duza as the only real board presence
- Recovery: Cubic Dharma can recycle a Cubic card from the hand to draw and can be banished from the Graveyard to target a Cubic monster, so one card in the Graveyard keeps a second line available
- After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate
Why it scores here
The deck is 20 cards with 10 distinct names and no Extra Deck, which is legal for Duel Links, and it is scored as a system rather than by averaging card power. Its real engine is thin: Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel (3 copies) and Cubic Dharma (2 copies) are the only reliable starters, and the probability of at least one Duza in a 5-card opening hand is about 60%. Three Cubic Ascension and three Cubic Karma both refer to 'Vijam the Cubic Seed', which is not in the list, so those six cards are likely dead draws and drag down consistency and the brick score. Its strongest part is interaction: Dark Hole, Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon and two Cubic Causality give it many removal and negation options, which supports a Control reading. No recorded boards, archetype usage data or tournament results exist, so the ceiling and floor scores are text-based inferences and the confidence is low. Popularity of the Cubic archetype was not used as a reason for points.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 35 | P(at least one Duza in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.60; Cubic Dharma and the Karma/Ascension pair depend on a missing Vijam, so the reliable engine is small (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 25 | Six copies of Cubic Ascension and Cubic Karma likely dead without Vijam the Cubic Seed in the list; brick rate is high (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 30 | No recorded boards exist; the ceiling is a text-based read of Duza gaining ATK plus a possible Crimson Nova summon (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 25 | No recorded boards exist, so the median output is unknown and is scored conservatively (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 30 | Interruption recovery relies on Cubic Dharma recycling from the Graveyard and a second Duza route; the routes are few (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 35 | Cubic Dharma draws and card recycling provide some grind, but Karma's Graveyard costs have no payoff without Vijam (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 50 | Two Cubic Causality, Dark Hole, Storm and Mystical Space Typhoon give layered removal and negation; text reads only (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 45 | Dark Hole and Storm can clear a board on the second turn, and Causality can negate, but no going-second combo data exists (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 30 | Duza reaches 1600 ATK and Crimson Nova has 3000 ATK, but summoning Crimson Nova needs three different Cubic cards in hand, which is hard to assemble (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | Twenty cards with 10 distinct names and clear copy counts, but six dead cards lower efficiency (Verified count, Inferred effect) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 50 | No Extra Deck cards are present, which is legal for Duel Links; scored neutral (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No Side Deck is registered, so post-side adaptability is absent (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample exists, so format fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 60 | The deck is simple to pilot with short turns, but the dead-card lines add decision noise (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 37, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Missing engine target (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural = 36.6, TR = 30, pre-modifier 35.3
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.6 · 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
- Three copies of Duza and two of Cubic Dharma give a repeatable core
- Layered removal and negation: Dark Hole, Storm, Mystical Space Typhoon and Cubic Causality
- No Extra Deck required, so it is cheap and simple to build in Duel Links
Weaknesses
- Six Cubic Ascension and Cubic Karma cards depend on Vijam the Cubic Seed, which is not in the deck
- Few starters and no recorded boards, so consistency is unproven
- No Side Deck and no tournament record
Critical choke points
- Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel: at most three copies, and the main engine depends on it
- Cubic Dharma: the only searcher and recursion piece
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cubic Ascension x3 | Vijam the Cubic Seed x2-3 | Cubic Ascension and Cubic Karma both refer to Vijam the Cubic Seed, which is absent; adding it gives those cards a functional target |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal status with 20 main cards inside the 20-30 range and no Extra or Side cards; Copy counts and the Limited status of Storm (1 copy, legal); Vijam the Cubic Seed is absent from the card list while six cards refer to it
- Inferred: Duza starter probability about 0.60 in a 5-card opening hand; Brick rate high because of the Vijam dependency; Control primary strategy and Toolbox secondary strategy
- Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
- Data gaps: No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-based inferences No archetype usage statistics to compare the list with standard Cubic builds No tournament link, so matchup and meta-share context are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN No Side Deck registered, so post-side behaviour cannot be scored
