Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Grind through interaction with layered trap negation and monster control; close with evasion and recursion.; Attrition via Meluseek direct damage and searcher loops; Extra Deck monsters for situational removal and resource gain.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Protocol, Manifestation, or Haunted Rock; establish Altergeist monsters and Trap denial; pass with layered negation and recursion lines intact.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Infinite Impermanence from hand; pivot hand-trap Altergeist effects (Kunquery, Silquitous); break boards with Kaiju Gameciel or removal Traps (Typhoon, Lost Wind).
• Recovery: Trigger Meluseek or Manifestation effects to rebuild; use Personal Spoofing loops and Marionetter recursion to recover board; Altergeist Protocol denies opponent momentum.
• After siding: Side in additional removal (Typhoon, Dogmatika Punishment); adjust to meta threats; maintain core Trap density for grind matchups.

Why it scores here

This Altergeist deck opens its core engine (Meluseek, Multifaker, Marionetter, Protocol) with ~89% frequency in the opening hand, delivering consistent access to trap-setting and monster recursion. The median board involves layered Trap negation (Protocol, Manifestation, Haunted Rock) and defensive monsters rather than combo glass cannons, making it moderately resilient to one interruption. Going-second has real answers via Kaiju removal and hand Traps, though the reliance on Trap activation and lack of key staples (Ash, Maxx C, One for One) creates variance. Resource economy is solid—Meluseek loops, Marionetter recovery, and Personal Spoofing search sustain grind. The 55-card main (above the 40-card minimum) introduces subtle brick risk, and the Extra Deck is spread thin across six Fusion/Synchro/Xyz lines without a clear priority. Popularity and archetype meta-share did not influence this score; the assessment reflects system coherence, consistency, interaction density, and grind capacity on their own merits.
