Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Special Summon high‑ATK Machina monsters and use Citadel to destroy opponent's monsters; Generate card advantage with draw loops and grind out wins
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Machina with Gearframe, discard to summon Air Raider or Irradiator, boost with Limiter Removal, and aim for a strong board
• Turn 2 (going second): With a 6‑card hand use Redeployment or Overdrive to pull extra Machinas, then field Citadel for board‑breaking
• Recovery: Use Scrap Recycler draw and Machina Overdrive recycling to replenish resources after disruption
• After siding: No side deck; rely on remaining hand resources and engine recursion

Why it scores here

Despite being legal, the deck relies on a multi‑step Machina engine that can open with Gearframe or a discarded Machina to launch a chain of special summons. The best‑case board can field several 3000‑ATK monsters and clear the opponent with Citadel, giving a high ceiling, but the typical hand only yields one or two summons, making the median output modest. Consistency is limited by a low probability of drawing a starter (≈34 %) and the deck lacks side‑deck tools, which reduces resilience to disruption. Resource loops from Scrap Recycler and Overdrive help recovery, yet the overall engine is moderately fragile and complex, leading to a mid‑range structural score. Consequently the final contextual power settles around the high‑forties.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54.1, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Low meta relevance (-2); No side deck (-2); Engine complexity (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.66 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High ceiling board with multiple 3000‑ATK monsters
• Multiple draw and recycle loops (Scrap Recycler, Overdrive)
• Redundant special‑summon paths

Weaknesses

• Low starter consistency (≈34 % chance)
• No side deck for adaptation
• Engine complexity and high brick risk

Critical choke points

• Need a Machina monster in hand to discard for Air Raider/Irradiator/Citadel
• Reliance on Gearframe or Redeployment to fetch Machinas

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status Legal; all card banlist statuses Unlimited
• Inferred: core starter probability 0.34; searcher probability 0.58; engine brick risk from level spread; potential ceiling board from text combos; median floor from typical hand; redundant discard engines; resource loops from draw/recycle cards; interaction from Solemn Strike and Cosmic Cyclone; going‑second advantage from extra hand size; offensive power from Citadel and other high‑ATK monsters; deck efficiency from composition; extra deck absence impact; side deck absence impact; engine complexity assessment
• Provisional: meta relevance 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
