Invoked Deck #516232 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Control
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck fusion pressure: Invoked Mechaba, Invoked Purgatrio, El Shaddoll Construct and Winda, plus Dogmatika Maximus, converting Aleister or Shaddoll starters into 2500+ ATK boards; Hand-trap-protected going-second conversion through Ecclesia, Ghost Ogre and Fuwalos interruptions
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Aleister the Invoker or Invocation, Normal Summon Ecclesia or Beast, and fuse a 2500+ ATK Invoked or Shaddoll monster while holding Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence to protect the line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (12 copies, about 90% to hold at least one) to break the opponent's first activation, then rebuild a fusion board through the Aleister search
• Recovery: Recycle banished Aleister and Shaddoll monsters through Naelshaddoll Ariel and the Invocation GY effect, then resummon from the Extra Deck
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system and not as an average of its card scores. Its engine reliably reaches a starter (about 34% for any one Aleister copy in a going-first five-card hand, about 85% for at least one searcher, all Inferred from hypergeometric estimates), and its Extra Deck offers 2500+ ATK closers such as Invoked Mechaba, Purgatrio, Construct and Dogmatika Maximus. Interaction is dense (16 negation-text cards and 12 hand traps), which gives it strong going-second resilience. Three archetype engines (Invoked, Shaddoll, Dogmatika) share one Main Deck, with 21.8% exact-name purity and 43 off-archetype copies, which weakens engine cohesion and raises brick risk. No recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median output are text-only inferences. Archetype popularity was not credited, and the deck receives a low score because it is Illegal: it runs 2 copies of the Forbidden Called by the Grave, so the score is a theoretical cap rather than a normal Final Contextual score (the uncapped contextual value would be about 39).

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); engine_conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 51.4 uncapped; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (Called by the Grave ×2, Forbidden)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Dense negation and hand-trap package (12 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards)
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers (Mechaba, Purgatrio, Construct, Maximus)
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (about 90% to hold one in six cards)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 2 copies of Forbidden Called by the Grave
• Three archetype engines share one Main Deck (21.8% exact-name purity)
• Heavy Extra Deck dependence (15 slots, 13 Fusion) and multi-step fusion sequences
• No recorded boards, so combo output is unverified

Critical choke points

• Aleister the Invoker (3 copies) as the shared Invoked starter; missing it stalls most fusion lines
• Extra Deck access as the requirement for most of the engine and for Dogmatika Ecclesia

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Called by the Grave is Forbidden with 2 copies run (illegal); Card stats and text for all 40 main and 15 extra cards; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within master-duel size rules
• Observed: Usage: Invoked core cards present (Aleister, Invocation, Mechaba) at 60–100% inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and searcher probabilities; Going-second hand-trap coverage; Interaction density from card text; Engine cohesion and brick estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Side-deck adaptability (no side in Master Duel)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the deck is identified only by its archetype and id
