Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Fusion/Link board built from Infernoid starters banished from hand or GY, finished by Infernoid Evil, Infernoid Tierra, Infernoid Flood and link/synchro beaters; Salamangreat and Black Rose Dragon bodies on a Link/Synchro board
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Infernoid starter (Antra, Pirmais, Devyaty, Harmadik, Patrulea or Piaty) banishing another Infernoid, then extend into a Fusion or Link Summon from the Extra Deck
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Monster Gate or Reasoning to Special Summon a monster, then rebuild through the Infernoid GY/hand banish costs; negation and removal are only Inferred from card text
  • Recovery: Void Reignition, Void Imagination and Infernoid Evil's searcher text recover cards from the Deck and GY
  • After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck and side count is 0

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal as submitted because Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess is Forbidden in Master Duel and is run once, so the Final Contextual score is capped low and the evaluation is structural only. Its archetype core is well represented: 34 Infernoid-core copies give an Inferred P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.988, and roughly ten distinct Infernoid starters give several independent routes into the Fusion and Link Extra Deck. The engine converts reliably into a board of Fusion and Link monsters, but there is no recorded combo data, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Interaction comes from Infernoid text (Devyaty, Onuncu, Pirmais, Flood) plus several situational tech spells that rarely earn their slots. The score was built from the system (consistency, redundancy, conversion, interaction) and not from averaging card scores, and popularity from the archetype's usage stats did not add points.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 60 P(at least one core Infernoid in a 5-card hand) is about 0.988 across 34 core copies, with a 2-card banish bootstrap (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 50 Most hands are functional, but 8 tech and situational spells (Triple Tactics, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Pot of Desires) add dead-card risk (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 Ceiling is inferred from text: Fusion Summon of Infernoid Tierra or Evil into a large board, with no recorded board to measure it against (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 Median output is unknown because no combos were supplied; starter diversity suggests a mid-level floor (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 60 Ten distinct Infernoid starters and two recovery spells provide several independent routes after one interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Void Reignition, Void Imagination and Infernoid Evil's searcher text recover cards, but banish costs drain the GY (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 55 Negation and destruction text on Devyaty, Onuncu, Pirmais and Flood, plus Lightning Storm and Feather Duster, gives layered but non-hand-trap interaction (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 40 No hand traps and no going-second data; board-breaking depends on Infernoid negation text and single-copy spells (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 50 Closing power comes from 2400-2800 ATK Infernoids and Link-4 beaters, but Infernoid Tierra and Flood counts conflict across evidence sections (Verified card data, Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 45 60 main cards across 25 distinct cards, with 33 removal-text cards and 27 Level-0 spells; compact core, but 5 singletons are dead-ish (Verified counts, Inferred)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 15 Extra slots: 2 Infernoid Evil, 3 Fusion, 11 Link and 1 Synchro, with Apollousa adding illegal space (Verified composition, Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 30 No side deck in Master Duel; scored low as a neutral gap rather than a measured weakness (Provisional)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype share is unavailable (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 40 Multi-step banish chains with several Special Summon restrictions make pilotability moderate (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Dead-card burden (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Illegal deck capped low, structural-only

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
  • Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
  • Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

  • Dense Infernoid core (34 copies) with a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand
  • Many distinct starters (about ten) give redundant routes after disruption
  • Void recovery spells and an Infernoid Evil searcher

Weaknesses

  • Illegal as built: Apollousa is Forbidden
  • Several tech spells are dead or situational in this engine
  • No recorded combo or matchup data to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

  • Apollousa is an illegal Extra-Deck slot that must be removed before the deck is playable
  • Infernoid banish costs can exhaust the Hand and GY quickly, so one early interruption can strand the chain
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess a legal Link or Fusion route from the Extra Deck, or a second copy of a core Infernoid Forbidden in Master Duel; the deck is illegal until it is removed
2 One or two of Triple Tactics Thrust, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster additional Infernoid starters or recovery Cuts dead-card risk without changing the engine core

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Apollousa is Forbidden in master-duel with 0 legal copies and 1 run; Extra Deck is 15 cards: 2 Infernoid Evil, 3 Fusion, 11 Link, 1 Synchro; Main Deck is 60 cards with a copy histogram of 5/5/15 at 1/2/3 copies
  • Inferred: P(at least one core Infernoid in hand5) of about 0.988 from hypergeometric estimate; Dead-card burden of tech and situational spells; Combo ceiling and floor described only from card text
  • Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample is supplied
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for Master Duel decks Evidence conflict: usage statistics marks Infernoid Tierra and Infernoid Flood as not in deck, but the cards list runs both in the Extra Deck; scoring follows the cards list No guides attached to the archetype
