Legality
Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Infernoid board pressure: 2200-3400 ATK Infernoid monsters (Tierra, Devyaty, Attondel, Sjette) plus Link/Fusion finishers; Link finishers (Infernoid Flood, Salamangreat Raging Phoenix, Promethean Princess) and Sky Striker Ace recursion
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a 1-banish Infernoid starter (Antra, Harmadik, Pirmais or Patrulea) with a second Infernoid for the banish cost, then extend into Link or Fusion
- Turn 2 (going second): Clear the opponent's backrow with Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster or Forbidden Droplet, then rebuild from GY Infernoid summons
- Recovery: Rebuild from the GY: Infernoid monsters banished from GY as summon cost, and Void Reignition recursion from GY
- After siding: Master Duel has no sideboard (side count 0); no post-side plan exists, so adaptation is in-game sequencing only
Why it scores here
The deck's engine is a 1-banish Infernoid starter (10 copies across Antra, Harmadik, Pirmais and Patrulea) that needs a second Infernoid as banish cost; the hypergeometric estimate of at least one such starter in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.61, and a complete two-Infernoid bootstrap is about 0.40, so opening reliability is the main limit. Interaction is broad and layered (Lightning Storm x2, Harpie's Feather Duster, Forbidden Droplet, Infernoid Flood and Onuncu/Devyaty negation and destruction), and the Extra Deck carries strong closing bodies (Tierra 3400 ATK, Attondel 2800, Raging Phoenix 2800, TY-PHON 2900). The deck is heavy on conditional spells (9 Sky Striker copies require an empty Main Monster Zone, and 8 Void/Triple Tactics/excavation spells depend on board or opponent-activation states), so the 36-spell main deck produces bricks. Archetype purity is only 30.7% and the 52 off-archetype copies create engine conflict. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the system, not from Infernoid's popularity, the usage-statistic list, or averaging individual card scores; no recorded boards, meta share or matchup data were supplied.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(>=1 of 10 one-banish Infernoid starters in hand5) ≈ 0.61; complete two-Infernoid bootstrap ≈ 0.40 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 40 | 36 spells including 9 conditional Sky Striker cards and 8 single- or dual-copy situational cards; full-brick (no starter in hand5) ≈ 0.39 (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 62 | Infernoid summon chain to Tierra fusion and Link finishers gives a high ceiling; no parseable boards to confirm the best line (Inferred semantic read) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards, so median output is unmeasured; scored conservatively given bricks and conditional spells (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 58 | Multiple starters, GY-based Infernoid recursion and Void Reignition from GY give partial route redundancy against one disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | GY-banish summon costs consume resources, offset by 6 searcher-text cards and Sky Striker recovery; no resource data (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 70 | Negation text on 9 cards, Lightning Storm x2, Harpie's Feather Duster and Infernoid Flood negate-summon give layered interaction (Inferred from card text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 62 | Lightning Storm x2, Harpie's Feather Duster and Forbidden Droplet challenge a board when going second; Tierra and Onuncu follow up (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 74 | Multiple 2800-3400 ATK Infernoids and Link 3-4 finishers close the game in a single turn (Verified card stats, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | 60 main cards over 30 distinct names with 36 spells and 30.7% exact-archetype purity; many single-copy situational spells (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 58 | All 15 Extra cards are present and most have a role, but Sky Striker Ace cards depend on the Sky Striker package (Verified composition, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 40 | Master Duel has no sideboard, so there is no post-side plan; scored low as an unavailable adaptation axis (Verified side count 0, Inferred) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link, archetype meta-share or dated metagame sample supplied; neutral placeholder excluded from Structural (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 48 | Multi-step Infernoid summons, GY banish costs and several conditional spells add decision points; the deck is not trivial to pilot (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55.5, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: engine conflict (-4); conditional_spell_burden (-2); interaction_breadth (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(meta-neutral, D13 dropped and re-normalized) + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.61 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.4 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.39 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Layered interaction: negation and destruction across spells and Infernoid monsters
- Strong Extra Deck closing power (Tierra, Attondel, Raging Phoenix, TY-PHON)
- Multiple 1-banish starters give more than one entry point
Weaknesses
- Low exact-archetype purity (30.7%) with competing sub-engines
- Heavy conditional spell count creates bricks
- No sideboard and no recorded boards or matchup data
Critical choke points
- Needing a second Infernoid for the banish cost after the starter is drawn
- Sky Striker spells that require an empty Main Monster Zone
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage! | One additional 1-banish Infernoid starter or a second Infernoid support card | Lowers the brick rate and strengthens the 2-card bootstrap (Inferred) |
| 2 | Lava Golem | A flexible on-archetype monster that does not need opponent tributes | Removes a card that depends on the opponent's board state (Inferred) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: Master Duel 60/15/0, all restricted cards at legal copy limits; Card text and stats from the evidence pack; Banlist statuses: 4 Limited cards at 1 copy each
- Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and bootstrap probabilities; Brick-rate and conditional-spell estimates; Interaction and closing reads from card text; Dimension scores D1-D14 and modifiers
- Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit
- Data gaps: No recorded combos; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent usage statistics core list is dominated by Fiendsmith, Azamina and Stardust names outside this family, so core_present 2/25 is suspect and not used for scoring No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Master Duel has no sideboard, so D12 has no post-side evidence
