Infernity Deck #670010 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Recursive Infernity and Fiend boards (Archfiend searchers, Necromancer, Lacrima, Lurrie) backed by Link and Fusion finishers such as Underworld Goddess and Luce; Mulcharmy card-draw pressure and Fiendsmith link recursion (Fiendsmith's Requiem and Sequence are not in the list)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon an Infernity or Archfiend starter on T1, then use Infernity Launcher or Necromancer to rebuild from the GY (the Forbidden Cross-Sheep and Reprodocus slots are not usable as written)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold up hand traps (Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Infernity Barrier, Buio) and Mulcharmy draws before committing to a board
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Infernity Launcher, Necromancer, This Creepy Little Punk, and Archfiend Heiress searches
• After siding: Not evaluable: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list does not earn a normal score: it runs 9 copy-limit violations and 6 Forbidden cards in the OCG format, so the score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only. Structural strength comes from the system: the Infernity and Archfiend searchers give the deck a probable opening starter (about 68% for the 11-copy core group, Inferred), and the recursion chain (Launcher, Necromancer, Creepy Punk) plus the search cards let it rebuild after a single interruption. Interaction is dense (15 negation-text and 14 removal-text cards, 6 hand traps), which gives it strong end-board and going-second value. The weaknesses are the empty Side Deck, the 8.5% exact-archetype purity (the list is mostly generic and Fiendsmith/Mulcharmy/Archfiend cards), and the lack of any recorded boards to confirm a combo floor or median. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity; it is the system read, with the legality cap applied afterwards.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); empty_side_deck (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + Modifiers(-10) = 38, capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional, excluded.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.68 · 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 interaction: 15 negation-text and 14 removal-text cards, 6 hand traps
• Searchers and recursion (16 searcher-text cards) give a reliable opening starter (about 68% core-group access, Inferred)
• Multiple Link and Fusion finishers (Underworld Goddess 3000 ATK, Luce 3500 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 9 copy-limit violations and 6 Forbidden cards
• Empty Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (8.5%) with many generic and tech cards
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards removed means the Extra Deck loses 4 slots and the list must be rebuilt before it can be played
• Fiendsmith Engraver (3 copies, limit 1) and Fiendsmith's Tract (2 copies, limit 1) cannot all be run

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 9 copy-limit violations, 6 Forbidden cards in the OCG list; Main 56 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0 is within the 0–15 range; Archetype purity 8.5% and the copy histogram; Hypergeometric starter odds from the evidence file
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Interaction quality read from card text; Going-first and going-second scores, dimension scores and the structural weighting; Turn-order and pilotability assessments
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit scores (no tournament context)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards (combo data has 0 combos), so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has no title (deck_name null); identity is from the archetype only
