Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 52 |
| Going First | 55 |
| Going Second | 50 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 40 |
- Primary strategy: Control
- Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
- Format: master-duel
Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Board pressure from Fiendsmith and Magical Musket Fusion/Link monsters (Rextremende, Desirae, Chaos Angel, Bystial bodies) built up through spell/trap control; Link and Fusion follow-up from the Extra Deck once the Musket column is established
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Fiendsmith's Tract or Magical Musketeer searchers, set and activate Musket Spell/Trap cards through the Musket column, and build a Link or Fusion board; text-only read, no recorded boards
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet, Maxx C, and Nibiru as hand interaction, then reactivate Musket Spell/Trap cards to negate or destroy the opposing setup
- Recovery: Searchers (Caspar, Doc, Engraver, Tract) and Musket recursion from GY refill hand after an interruption; no recorded evidence of how often this works
- After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
The list is illegal in Master Duel: Super Polymerization is run 3 times against a limit of 2, and Maxx C is run 2 times against a limit of 1. Under the rubric that caps it as a theoretical, structural-only read, so the score of 30 is a cap, not a normal Final Contextual result. The structural read (about 52) comes from a Control profile: a 14-searcher-text base gives about 90% odds of at least one searcher in an opening 5-card hand (Inferred), and 8 negation and 12 removal-text cards carry the end-board interaction. The deck does not earn points for Magical Musket being an established archetype (21.8% exact-name purity, with 43 off-archetype copies) or for the Fiendsmith and Musket names on the list. No combo boards were recorded, so the floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference and carry little weight. The score is not an average of card scores.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least 1 searcher-text card in opening 5) ≈ 0.90; the Musket and Fiendsmith engine is live on the 2-3 card bootstrap (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | Eleven tech cards and three hand traps with narrow starter use create redundant and dead hands; the copy histogram is 13 singletons and 7 triples (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 45 | No recorded boards exist; the Link and Fusion ceiling is read from card text only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded boards exist; the median output is unknown and is set low for lack of data (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Three hand traps and recursion from GY give several independent routes after one disruption; no recorded evidence (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 58 | Fourteen searcher-text cards and GY recursion refill the hand, but several cards cost resources to set up (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 66 | Eight negation-text and twelve removal-text cards give broad interaction; the Musket column adds layering (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 52 | Hand traps (Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet, Nibiru) and Musket negations can challenge a going-second board; no recorded evidence (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Rextremende at 3000 ATK, Chaos Angel at 3500, and Bystial bodies at 2500 give real closing bodies, but no recorded win data (Verified card stats; Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 50 | A 40-card main has 23 distinct cards, 11 of them tech, with 19 level-0 spells; compactness is average (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 58 | The full 15-card Extra Deck mixes Fiendsmith and Musket Fusion and Link cards with a Chaos Angel and a Caesar; the Extra access is reasonable (Verified composition; Inferred access) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so post-side adaptability is effectively absent (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link and no dated meta sample; matchup fit is Provisional and is held at a neutral 40 (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | The deck runs several engines (Fiendsmith, Musket, Link, Fusion) with many decision points per turn, so pilotability is moderate to low (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: copy-limit violations (banlist exposure) (-12). Final formula: Unscored normal formula: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6; minus 12 banlist/copy-limit modifier = 37.6; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 searcher-text cards) gives high odds of finding a starter
- Layered Spell/Trap interaction through the Musket column (negations and removal)
- Extra Deck carries strong closing bodies (Rextremende, Chaos Angel, Caesar, Bystial)
Weaknesses
- Illegal copy counts (Super Polymerization 3/2, Maxx C 2/1)
- No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
- Many engines (Fiendsmith, Musket, Link, Fusion) with thin shared support
- Eleven tech cards dilute the consistency of each hand
Critical choke points
- Musket column requirement: most Musket Spell/Trap effects need a Musket monster on the field
- Fiendsmith Extra Deck lines depend on a LIGHT Fiend monster
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | one copy of Super Polymerization | one Fusion or Musket-support card that is legal at 1 copy or more | Brings the list back under the Semi-Limited copy limit, which is required before any normal score can apply |
| 2 | one copy of Maxx C | one copy of a legal hand trap or Musket searcher | Maxx C is Limited to 1 copy in this format, so the list is illegal until one copy is removed |
| 3 | one tech card with the lowest starter role | one side deck card (for example a Musket or Fiendsmith answer) | A side deck is required for any post-side read and is currently empty |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality status Illegal: Super Polymerization 3 vs 2 legal copies and Maxx C 2 vs 1 legal copies; Main 40 and Extra 15 counts are within the Master Duel size rules; Searcher-text count 14, negation 8, removal 12, hand trap 3, tech 11; Exact-name archetype purity 21.8% for Magical Musket
- Inferred: P(at least 1 searcher in an opening 5) ≈ 0.90; Control profile as the primary strategy from the card text and guides; Structural score ≈ 52 from the Control weights
- Provisional: Meta Power is null (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) held at 40 with no tournament link
- 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 exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered (Side Deck size 0) deck title is null
