Legality
Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Ancient Gear Fusion into Chaos Ancient Gear Giant or Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, then attacks that negate Spell/Trap responses; Xyz/Link pressure (Infinitrack Earth Slicer, Super Dora, Knightmare Phoenix) once the Fusion line stalls
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Ancient Gear Box / Wyvern / Frame) into Ancient Gear Soldier or Hunting Hound, then Fusion into a 4400+ ATK Fusion monster
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Hunting Hound and Gold/Silver Gadget bodies to challenge the board, then Fusion or Xyz through the followed-up interaction
- Recovery: Ancient Gear Catapult and Ancient Gear Box rebuild from the Graveyard and Deck; Geartown revives an Ancient Gear monster when destroyed
- After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel side size is 0 in this list
Why it scores here
The list is illegal in Master Duel (Solemn Strike run 2 of a 1-copy limit, and Forbidden Apollousa sits in the Extra Deck), so it is capped at 20 and scored as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structurally it has a real engine: 14 searcher-text cards give about a 75% chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5, and Fusion lines into Chaos Ancient Gear Giant or Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem give a high ceiling. Those strengths are offset by a long list of tech and floodgate cards (Rivalry of Warlords, Gozen Match, There Can Be Only One) that clash with Machine and EARTH monsters, and by several dead-in-hand spells such as Limiter Removal and Trade-In. Consistency and median output are inferred from draw probabilities and card text, not from recorded boards, because no combos were supplied. Archetype popularity and the usage stats did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into this deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | Searcher-text group P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.75; per-starter 3-copy P ≈ 0.23; Golem Level 8 needs tributes (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 40 | Three floodgates, Limiter Removal, Trade-In, Metaverse and Feather Duster add dead or conflicting draws (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | Fusion ceiling via Chaos AG Giant (4500 ATK) and Ultimate AG Golem (4400 ATK) from card text; no recorded boards (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No combos supplied, so median output is text-only inference (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Four or more redundant Ancient Gear starters and recursion from Geartown and Catapult (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 45 | Trade-In and Overload Fusion give some resource flow, but several cards are dead without Fusion setup (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 50 | Solemn Strike, Infinite Impermanence and Draining Shield form interaction, with only one legal Solemn Strike copy (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Ancient Gear monsters that lock Spell/Trap responses on attack help a going-second push, but no going-second split data exists (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Several 3000+ ATK Fusion and Xyz bodies with piercing or repeat attacks (Verified stat, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | 27 distinct Main cards with many non-engine tech cards and a 13-card 3-copy core (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 45 | Extra Deck has 6 Fusion, 5 Xyz and 4 Link; Apollousa is Forbidden and must be removed (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 20 | No Side Deck in Master Duel format; no post-side data (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No dated metagame or tournament link; archetype share absent (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-step Fusion sequencing and several tech decisions (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Structural 47.9 blended 0.80/0.20 with TournamentReliability 42 gives ≈47; modifiers −12 give 35; Illegal cap applied, so final = 20 (theoretical/structural-only)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · 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
- Searcher density (14 cards) gives a high chance of at least one searcher in hand
- Ancient Gear Fusion line reaches 4400–4500 ATK Fusion monsters
- Ancient Gear monsters negate Spell/Trap responses on attack
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: Solemn Strike over limit, Apollousa Forbidden
- Floodgates clash with the Machine and EARTH engine
- Several spells are dead in most hands
Critical choke points
- Ancient Gear Golem cannot be Special Summoned, so Fusion and Tribute lines need a Level 8 Tribute setup
- Apollousa in the Extra Deck is illegal, so the Extra Deck is effectively 14 cards
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess (Extra Deck) | Legal Link or Fusion filler | Forbidden card makes the list illegal |
| 2 | 1 Solemn Strike | Ancient Gear monster or Searcher | Only one Limited copy is legal |
| 3 | Rivalry of Warlords or Gozen Match | Ancient Gear staple or hand trap | Floodgates conflict with Machine and EARTH engine monsters |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality status Illegal: Solemn Strike 2/1 and Apollousa 1/0 (Forbidden); Main 60 and Extra 15 counts match Master Duel size rules; Composition counts and archetype spread
- Inferred: Searcher P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.75; Fusion ceiling and brick rate from card text
- Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred usage core list (25 cards at 100%) is mostly generic staples and only 4% present; treat as a stat mismatch, not as an archetype core Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
