Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in Master Duel and cannot receive a normal evaluation. Four card-copy violations prevent legality: Droll & Lock Bird (3 run, max 2), Maxx "C" (2 run, max 1), Called by the Grave (2 run, max 1), and the Forbidden card Number 41: Bagooska the Terribly Tired Tapir (1 run, max 0). Without legality, no meaningful deck-power score can be assigned. The evaluation is structural/theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: None applied—deck illegal. Structural ≈ 0, Going First ≈ 0, Going Second ≈ 0, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 0. Modifiers: Legality violation (-100). Final formula: Illegal deck—no formula applied. Legality check mandates evaluation halt.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Composition includes 14 searchers and 17 removal effects, suggesting coherent engine intent
• Extra Deck (15 slots) includes diverse Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, and Link monsters for potential flexibility
• Hand-trap density (10 cards) provides disruption coverage if made legal

Weaknesses

• Illegal in Master Duel: four copy violations render the deck non-compliant
• No tournament context or archetype usage statistics; meta fit unknown
• No combo evidence provided; cannot measure consistency, ceiling, or floor
• Archetype purity only 10.5% (A-to-Z core); deck is heavy splash with unclear engine cohesion

Critical choke points

• Legality violations: Droll & Lock Bird (−1 copy), Maxx "C" (−1 copy), Called by the Grave (−1 copy), Bagooska (remove entirely)
• No card-text evidence of primary combo line; engine bridge unclear
• Dual-engine tension: Union/A-to-Z core + Horus/Kashtira splashes without clear synergy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in Master Duel (legality.status confirmed); Droll & Lock Bird: 3 copies run, Semi-Limited = max 2 (over by 1); Maxx "C": 2 copies run, Limited = max 1 (over by 1); Called by the Grave: 2 copies run, Limited = max 1 (over by 1); Number 41: Bagooska: 1 copy run, Forbidden = max 0 (1 illegal copy); Main Deck 42 cards: within legal range 40–60; Extra Deck 15 cards: within legal max 15; Side Deck 0 cards: within legal range 0–15; Card text excerpts resolved for all 38 distinct cards
• Observed: Composition: 24 distinct Main-Deck cards, 14 distinct Extra-Deck cards; Hand-trap density: 10 copies across Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C"; Searcher-text count: 14 cards carry searcher effects in their text; Removal-text count: 17 cards carry removal/destruction effects
• Inferred: Primary strategy indeterminate without combo evidence or text-role analysis; Archetype purity 10.5% suggests multi-engine hybrid (A-to-Z core + ABC Union + Horus + Kashtira splashes); Hypergeometric P(≥1 starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.82 (searcher group), but meaningless given illegality; Going-second hand-trap draw probability P(≥1 in hand 6) ≈ 0.83 (hand-trap group), but meaningless given illegality
• Provisional: Meta Power: no dated metagame sample; A-to-Z archetype meta-share unknown; Matchup fit: archetype presence in Master Duel meta unknown; Post-side plan: no side deck present (0 cards); adaptability indeterminate
• Data gaps: Legality violations prevent normal evaluation—deck cannot be assessed for competitive power No combos supplied (combo data.total combos = 0)—no floor/median/ceiling, no starter diversity, no board summary No archetype usage statistics (usage statistics.available = false)—core vs meta-standard unknown No tournament link (tournament data.available = false)—no archetype meta-share, no per-pilot match record No guide snippets (guide data.total guides = 0)—deck strategy intent, rotation, and post-side plan unknown No win-rate telemetry—brick rate, starter live rate, OTK rate, matchup results all unknown Side deck empty (0 cards)—no post-side adaptability or best-of-3 plan No dated metagame sample supplied—Meta Power cannot be computed
