Machina Deck #445311 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Control the board with removal and floodgates while setting up Machina Force as a late-game beatstick
• Turn 1 (going first): Play hand traps (Dimensional Prison, Bottomless Trap Hole), establish early removal (Trap Stun, Dust Tornado), and set up a searcher like Machina Gearframe
• Turn 2 (going second): Utilize six‑card hand to bring in Cyber Dragon or Machina Force, then use Chimeratech Fortress Dragon or other synchro options to break the opponent’s board
• Recovery: Use draw engines (Cyber Valley, Card Trooper, Pot of Avarice) and repeat removal to regain resources after a disruption
• After siding: No side deck present; the plan relies on the main deck alone, which is a major weakness

Why it scores here

The deck tries to control the game with a heavy suite of removal, hand traps, and floodgates, then finish with a high‑ATK Machina Force. However, it lacks a cohesive engine, contains many off‑archetype cards, and includes two forbidden cards, making it illegal and fragile. Consistency is modest (≈45 % chance to draw a core starter) and resource recovery is only average, so the system never reliably reaches a strong board. The absence of a side deck and the high brick risk further limit reliability, resulting in a low overall power rating.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 39.2, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal deck penalty (-15). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.45 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.3 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong removal suite (Dimensional Prison, Bottomless Trap Hole, Trap Stun, Dust Tornado)
• Hand‑trap density helps going second
• Draw engines (Cyber Valley, Card Trooper, Pot of Avarice) give some grind
• Machina Force provides a potential high‑ATK finisher

Weaknesses

• Illegal (Forbidden) cards make deck unplayable
• Very low archetype cohesion (12.9 % exact‑name purity)
• No clear combo engine; high reliance on disparate tech cards
• No side deck for post‑side adaptation
• High brick risk due to many overlapping effects

Critical choke points

• Machina Force requires specific material (Commander Covington) which is not in the deck
• Core engine cards (e.g., Machina Soldier, Machina Sniper) are missing, leaving the plan fragile
• Forbidden cards must be removed before the deck can be legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status = Illegal; Side count = 0; Card copies and banlist status from cards list
• Inferred: Engine accessibility based on core starter probability; Brick estimate from copy histogram; Combo ceiling/floor inferred from lack of combo evidence; Resource economy from draw cards; Interaction quality from trap and floodgate counts; Going‑second power from hand‑trap probability; Offensive closing power from Machina Force presence
• Provisional: Matchup coverage and format fit (no tournament data); Meta power (no dated meta 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
