Earth Machine Deck #422196 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 45/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Build a high‑ATK Machine board and finish with Rank‑10 XYZ or Link monsters; Control opponent via hand traps and board‑clear effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon a starter Machine, set hand traps, aim for a Rank‑10 XYZ on turn 2
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, etc.) to disrupt, then flood the field with Machine monsters and Xyz/Link summons
• Recovery: Recursion through Infinitrack Harvester, Machina Redeployment and other searchers to refill resources
• After siding: No side deck; relies on in‑deck tech and hand‑trap versatility

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with at least one Earth Machine core card (≈95% chance) and has a dense hand‑trap/web of disruption, giving it solid consistency and resilience. Its search engine can quickly assemble mid‑range boards and the extra deck is fully stocked with high‑ATK XYZ/Link finishers, providing decent offensive pressure. However the list exceeds the limited copy of Called by the Grave, lacks a side deck, and has no recorded combo data, which lowers overall reliability and caps the final score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-20); No side deck (-5). Final formula: Score capped due to Illegal status; Structural 65 – 20 penalty = 45 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high chance of drawing a core starter
• Extensive hand‑trap and negation suite
• Strong search engine and recursion
• Full extra‑deck with high‑ATK finishers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy of Called by the Grave makes deck unplayable as listed
• No side deck limits adaptability
• No recorded combo data; floor performance uncertain
• Complex decision‑tree lowers pilotability

Critical choke points

• Reliance on Called by the Grave (illegal) for grave‑yard control
• Need for Rank‑10 XYZ summons to achieve win‑condition

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status and copy limits from legality section; Card texts and role hint tags from cards array
• Inferred: Core starter probability 0.9511 from probabilities; Brick probability 0.0489 from probabilities; Hand‑trap group coverage 0.8095 from probabilities; Interaction and resource assessments from role counts
• Provisional: Matchup fit due to missing tournament data
• 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
