Generaider Deck #565705 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Boss-monster beatdown: Harr, Generaider Boss of Storms (3000 ATK) and Xyz bosses Laevatein and Jormungandr; Laevatein's text makes opponent monsters lose 1000 ATK/DEF.; Interaction-led grind: Nidhogg and Harr negation effects, Dyson Sphere negation, Book of Eclipse, Magic Deflector and removal text to strip the opponent's answers before the boss attacks.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Mardel, Vala or Loptr (Level 9 or 4 Generaider starters), use Generaider Boss Stage and the Mardel/Vala search and summon text to reach a Level 9 Xyz boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird to lock the opponent's searches from the Main Deck, then answer the summon with Nidhogg or Harr negations and rebuild the boss board.
• Recovery: Vala can be Special Summoned from hand or GY by sending another Generaider card, and Mardel searches Generaider or Plant cards, so the engine can refill after a disruption; the deck has no non-engine recovery beyond these.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links is a single-game format and the deck runs 0 side cards.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live Generaider engine: nine Level 9/4 starter copies (Mardel, Vala, Loptr) give an estimated 86% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its interaction package (Book of Eclipse, Magic Deflector, Droll & Lock Bird, Nidhogg and Harr negations, Dyson Sphere negation) is dense enough to answer several disruption types, which carries the endboard score. Conversion is credible on the boss side (Harr at 3000 ATK, Laevatein's ATK/DEF debuff) but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only reads and are kept close together. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the score was not built by averaging card scores; exact-name purity of 51% (Rose Paladin, Book of, Knightmare Phoenix) costs a small engine-dilution modifier. Meta power is provisional and no dated meta sample exists, so the score rests on structure alone.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 85 / Control 15 (applied via Midrange profile; Control interaction weight noted in D7). Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: Engine dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Nine Level 9/4 starters give high access to a live engine.
• Dense negation and removal text across Main and Extra.
• Strong boss-level ATK on both Harr and the Xyz line.
• Compact 30-card main with 7 three-copy slots.

Weaknesses

• No recorded combo boards; ceiling and median are text-only.
• Exact-name purity 51%; off-archetype cards dilute the engine.
• No side deck, so no post-game adaptation in Duel Links.
• Usage-stat deviations (Boss Stage 3 vs typical 1; Droll 3 vs typical 2) suggest the list is not the archetype standard.

Critical choke points

• Mardel, Vala and Loptr are the only engine starters; without one in hand the deck relies on Boss Stage and search text.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 30 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side within Duel Links limits (20-30 / 0-9).; Abyss Dweller and Reinforcement of the Army are Limited at 1 copy, within legal count.; Copy histogram and Extra-Deck breakdown match the card list.
• Inferred: At least one of 9 starters in 5-card hand approx 0.86 (hypergeometric).; Interaction density from negation and removal text.; Engine coherence reduced by 51% exact-name purity.
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup/format fit (no dated meta sample).; D12 side adaptability (single-game format).
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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/second, matchup, brick, starter rates). Usage-stat inconsistency: Jormungandr (ref 2665273) and Laevatein (ref 74615388) are listed with in_this_deck=false and copies_in_deck=0 although the deck runs 3 copies of each; core_cards_present (6) and missing_core are therefore unreliable. Guide has 0 sections and only a short snippet; strategic intent is thin. Meta Power is provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied.
