Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Kaiju and Gizmek Machine boards (Radian, Jizukiru, Gadarla, Dogoran, Gizmek Kaku) plus Link beaters; no recorded combo lines to confirm which is the real finisher; Link Summon beatdown via Topologic Zeroboros, Underworld Goddess and Accesscode Talker
  • Turn 1 (going first): Opening Gizmek Arakami / Orochi / Uka and Naganaki-style searches, backed by Forbidden Droplet and Lightning Storm for board clearing; no combo evidence to confirm the exact T1 line (Inferred)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Effect Veiler as hand traps (P(≥1 hand trap in 6) ≈ 0.48), then a Kaiju Special Summon through the opponent's board (Inferred)
  • Recovery: Gizmek Makami and Taniguku recursion from GY plus Foolish Burial and Small World for re-access (Inferred from card text)
  • After siding: Not assessable: the list runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system, not from averaging card scores. The deck reliably has interaction: 6 hand traps and about 14 negation-text and 33 removal-text cards give it an end-board and going-second answer (D7, D8), and the Kaiju and Gizmek bosses supply closing power (D9). The core engine is the weak part: the Gizmek archetype core (7 copies) is in the opening 5 only about 47% of the time, so the engine is not reliably live on T1-T2 (D1). The list is also spread across at least 17 archetype names (exact-name purity 18.7%) and includes 20 tech cards, which lowers consistency, efficiency and pilotability. There is no combo, side-deck, tournament or win-rate evidence, so the ceiling and median stay low-confidence. Popularity did not earn points, and the legality failure caps the result: the list runs 2 copies each of Forbidden Called by the Grave and Agido, and extra copies of Limited cards.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 40 Gizmek core (7 copies) P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.47; no combo confirmation of a T1 starter (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 42 Copy histogram 13/13/7 is reasonable, but 20 tech and 24 spells create dead-hand risk; P(≥1 hand trap in 6 going second) ≈ 0.48 (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 35 No parseable boards, so ceiling is text-only inference from Kaiju and Link bosses (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 30 No combo evidence supplied, so median output is unmeasured (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 45 Six hand traps and recursion via Makami and Taniguku, but no independent second line confirmed (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 40 Recursion from GY and search text (Small World, Foolish Burial, Naganaki) is present; no resource signature data (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 62 14 negation-text and 33 removal-text cards plus 6 hand traps; interaction density not measured (Inferred semantic)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Going-second hand-trap access ≈ 0.48 and Kaiju bosses that can be Special Summoned onto the opponent's side (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Boss ATK up to 3300 (Jizukiru) and 2800 (Radian), plus Link beaters at 1850–3000 (Verified stats, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 60 main with 33 distinct cards; 20 tech and 18.7% exact-name purity lower compactness (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 15 Link Extra Deck slots spread across Charmer, Endymion, Knightmare, Code Talker, Magistus, Qli and others (Verified composition)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 Zero side-deck cards, so no post-side adaptability (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 35 No tournament link or dated metagame sample; Provisional only
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 40 Multiple sub-archetype engines and quick-effect timing need careful sequencing (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-4); Illegal list cap (-13). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*42 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 28.6, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power provisional

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.47 · 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

  • Six hand traps plus about 14 negation-text cards give going-second interaction (Verified flags, Inferred semantics)
  • Kaiju and Gizmek bosses reach ATK 2400-3300, giving real closing pressure (Verified stats)
  • Searcher and recursion text (Small World, Makami, Taniguku, Naganaki) supports card flow (Inferred)

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: copy-limit violations on Forbidden and Limited cards mean it cannot be played as built
  • Core engine is not reliably live on T1-T2: P(≥1 Gizmek core in opening 5) ≈ 0.47
  • Low archetype coherence (18.7% exact-name purity) and 20 tech cards dilute consistency
  • No side deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

  • Gizmek core starters (7 copies) are the only route to the main engine, and they are missing from about half of opening hands
  • Forbidden Agido and Called by the Grave cannot be legally run, so their roles must be removed before the list is playable
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Agido the Ancient Sentinel (2) and Called by the Grave (2) Legal Gizmek or Kaiju replacements at Unlimited or Semi-Limited status Forbidden cards cannot be in a legal Master Duel list; this removes the legality failure
2 Extra copies of Limited cards (That Grass Looks Greener, Fairy Tail - Snow, Mudora the Sword Oracle) One copy each, or Unlimited alternatives Brings copy counts to the Limited cap of 1
3 Some of the 20 tech cards and off-archetype staples More Gizmek core starters Raises P(starter live) and archetype purity, which feeds D1 and D10

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Deck is Illegal: 5 over-limit cards, including Forbidden Agido and Called by the Grave (legality block); Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 satisfies the Master Duel size rules; Exact-name archetype purity 18.7%; 14 Gizmek copies out of 75; Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap odds from the Main Deck
  • Inferred: Engine consistency and brick rate from hypergeometric odds and card text; Interaction and going-second strength from hand-trap and negation-text flags; Pilotability from the number of sub-archetype engines
  • Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied title is null; deck is identified only by archetype Gizmek and id 66023
