Invoked Deck #460487 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Extra Deck boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon) reached through Synchro, Fusion and Link summons; Invoked Mechaba (Fusion) with its quick-effect negation, supported by Aleister the Invoker and Invocation
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Tuner (Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, Effect Veiler) to search or set up, then build a Synchro or Link into a Blue-Eyes boss while holding hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) for protection; the plan depends on drawing a Tuner and a Blue-Eyes starter in the opening 5
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (21 hand-trap tags) to negate the opponent's first engine, then rebuild with Wishes for Eyes of Blue or Bingo Machine, Go!!! and a Blue-Eyes Extra Deck monster
• Recovery: Recover through Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm and Magical Meltdown for board interaction, then re-search Aleister the Invoker or Blue-Eyes White Dragon to restart; recovery is text-based and not measured
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck has real interaction density: 21 hand-trap tags and 17 negation-text cards, plus Extra Deck bosses such as Neo Blue-Eyes and Blue-Eyes Tyrant that can end a game from the Extra Deck. Those are the reasons it earns its mid-range structural score. Its consistency is weak: only 9 of 55 Main Deck cards carry the exact Invoked name (12.9% purity), 61 cards are off-archetype, and the Blue-Eyes, Invoked and Solemn lines do not share a single engine. No recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and score low. The list is illegal in the TCG format: three cards exceed their copy limits, which caps the final score and makes this a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points, since the Invoked archetype's usage data confirms the real list but not its strength, and the score is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 39.8, then context modifiers -12 → 28; Illegal list, theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and negation suite (21 hand-trap tags)
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses such as Neo Blue-Eyes and Blue-Eyes Tyrant
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Fusion and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three cards
• Low archetype purity (12.9%) with 61 off-archetype copies
• No side deck
• No recorded combo boards to validate the engine

Critical choke points

• Opening hand needs a Tuner plus a Blue-Eyes starter; hypergeometric odds for any single 3-copy card in 5 cards are about 25%
• Extra Deck bosses depend on Synchro or Fusion materials that are not reliably in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom 3/2, Solemn Judgment 3/1, Droll & Lock Bird 3/1); Composition: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; 21 hand-trap tags; 12.9% exact archetype purity; Card text and stats for Neo Blue-Eyes (4500 ATK) and Blue-Eyes Tyrant (3400 ATK)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (P ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy starter in 5 cards); Interaction density and hand-trap resilience from card text; Going-second hand quality from the hand-trap count
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (archetype meta-share unavailable)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no title and no side deck
