Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 11 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters reached by Synchro Summon, e.g. Psychic End Punisher (ATK 3500), Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles (ATK 3000), Baronne de Fleur (ATK 3000); the starter-to-boss line is not in the evidence (no parseable boards).; Fusion/Link/XYZ bosses (Thunder Dragon Colossus, The Zombie Vampire) present one copy each; no recorded line uses them.
  • Turn 1 (going first): Not evidenced: the list has no recorded turn-1 starter; archetype core P(at least one of 7 copies in opening 5) = 0.59 (Inferred).
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap-led: 8 hand-trap copies give P(at least one in opening 6) = 0.71 (Inferred), then Synchro into bosses; no recorded board supports the sequence.
  • Recovery: Graveyard recursion via card text: Mezuki, Changshi the Spiridao, Shinobi Necro, and Beast of the Pharaoh special-summon from GY (text-only, Inferred).
  • After siding: Not applicable: the deck has 0 Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in the list.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in Master Duel: seven Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards are run, so it receives only a structural read capped to 28. Its engine is fragmented across P.U.N.K., Exchange of the Spirit, PSY-Frame and generic Zombie cards (0% exact-archetype purity), which holds consistency back even though the archetype core appears in about 59% of opening 5-card hands. Interaction is the strongest system trait: 8 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards and 18 removal-text cards give answers on both turns, and the Extra Deck carries high-ATK bosses. No combo boards exist, so ceiling and median output rest on text only, and popularity or archetype usage did not add points. The structural score is a weighted sum of the 14 dimensions on the Toolbox profile, not an average of card scores; the legality failure and banned-card exposure then pull the final score down.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 45 Archetype core (7 copies) P(at least one in hand of 5) = 0.59; engine split across four sub-archetypes (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 40 8 hand traps and 14 tech cards in 45 main slots add dead-card risk on many hands; searcher count is only 4 (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 40 No parseable boards, so ceiling is a text-only read of Synchro bosses and recursion (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 35 No recorded boards; median output cannot be estimated beyond the structural read (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 45 Multiple hand traps and negations give alternate responses, but several are over-limit or banned and would be removed (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 40 Four searcher-text cards and GY recursion sustain resources, but no float or grind evidence exists (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 50 18 removal-text and 10 negation-text cards; interaction density from text only; banned copies excluded from the legal build (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 45 8 hand-trap copies support going-second interaction; board-breaking relies on Extra bosses (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Bosses at ATK 3000 to 3500 (Psychic End Punisher, Emperor Charles, Baronne) give closing power, but Chaos Ruler and Apollousa are Forbidden (Verified stats, Inferred use)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 45 45 main slots with 26 distinct cards and five triple-copy cards; over-limit copies make it non-compliant (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 Extra Deck is 12 Synchro plus one each Link, Fusion and XYZ; three Extra cards are Forbidden (Verified composition)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 Side Deck is empty (0 of 15 allowed), so no post-side adaptability exists (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 35 No tournament link and no dated meta sample; format fit is Provisional
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 50 Several decision points involving hand-trap timing and Synchro sequencing; no combo steps exist to score complexity (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 37, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Illegal: structural-only, capped low; Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.59 · 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

  • Eight hand-trap copies and ten negation-text cards give interruption on both turns
  • Extra Deck bosses reach ATK 3000 to 3500 (Psychic End Punisher, Emperor Charles, Baronne de Fleur)
  • Recursion from GY (Mezuki, Changshi, Shinobi Necro) gives some rebuild after disruption

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: seven Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards
  • Engine fragmented across four sub-archetypes with 0% exact-archetype purity
  • No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
  • No recorded boards, so no combo evidence to verify conversion

Critical choke points

  • Removing the banned and over-limit cards drops the Main Deck to about 33 cards, below the 40-card minimum for Master Duel; replacements are required before the list is playable
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Agido the Ancient Sentinel x2, Kelbek the Ancient Vanguard x2, Called by the Grave x2, Smoke Grenade of the Thief x1 (all Forbidden) Legal replacements to reach at least 40 Main Deck cards (at least 7 slots) Forbidden cards make the list Illegal; the Main Deck falls below minimum without replacements
2 Chaos Ruler, Apollousa, PSY-Framelord Omega (Forbidden, Extra Deck) Legal Extra Deck replacements from the Synchro pool Forbidden Extra Deck cards are illegal in Master Duel
3 Maxx "C" (2 extra copies), Keldo the Sacred Protector (1 extra), Mudora the Sword Oracle (1 extra), PSY-Framegear Gamma (1 extra) Legal replacements, or keep one copy of each Limited cards are restricted to one copy in Master Duel
4 None A Side Deck of up to 15 cards Currently zero side cards, so no post-side adaptability exists

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: Illegal, seven Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards (Master Duel ban field); Copy histogram, zone counts and archetype purity (0% exact-name); Extra Deck breakdown: 12 Synchro, 1 Link, 1 Fusion, 1 XYZ; Side Deck count is 0
  • Inferred: Archetype core P(at least one in opening 5) = 0.59 and hand-trap P(at least one in opening 6) = 0.71; Strategy classification (Toolbox primary, Midrange secondary) from card text and composition; Floor, median and ceiling read from card text only (no combos)
  • Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
  • 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 for going-first, going-second, matchups, brick or OTK rates Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Guide snippets (guide 1466, Pumpking Zombies; guide 411) do not describe this exact list
