Primite Deck #674875 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fiendsmith/Bystial/Primite board development into Extra Deck link, xyz and fusion boss monsters (theoretical; no recorded boards); Bystial Saronir / Baldrake / Magnamhut 2500-ATK beatsticks once a Level 6 DARK Dragon is in place
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Primite or Fiendsmith starter (Primite Lordly Lode, Fiendsmith's Tract, Fiendsmith Engraver) and build a Link or Fusion boss; hand traps and Maxx C held for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's first board, then pivot into a Bystial Dragon or Fiendsmith boss
• Recovery: Searchers (15 text hits) and Fiendsmith's Tract / Primite Lordly Lode recover a playable hand; Fiendsmith Engraver and Lacrima recycle from the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck (Side Deck size 0): no post-side plan exists in the submitted list

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not by averaging its cards. It mixes four archetype families (Primite 8 copies, Fiendsmith 13 counted by archetype spread, Bystial 9, Mulcharmy 6) with a 14.3% exact-name purity, so an engine is only partly coherent: a 3-copy starter gives about 33% odds of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and the 8-copy archetype core gives about 68% (Inferred). Hand traps and searcher text (6 hand traps, 15 searcher hits) give reasonable interaction and recovery, which lifts the interaction and grind dimensions. Costs were heavy: the list contains Called by the Grave, a Forbidden card run at one copy, so the deck is Illegal and capped to a theoretical, structural-only score. No combo data, tournament link, or Side Deck exists, so combo ceiling, median output and post-side scores are text-based inference, and popularity or archetype share earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (structural only; D13 kept at a provisional 40). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(47.55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + ContextModifiers(-8) = 38.44 -> 38; Meta provisional; Illegal list so theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.33 · 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

• Layered hand traps and negation text (6 hand traps, 6 negation-text cards) give interaction on both turns
• Searcher density (15 text hits) makes recovering a playable hand likely
• Extra Deck covers link, xyz, fusion and synchro summon routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal in the format because Called by the Grave is Forbidden and run at one copy
• Four archetype families with 14.3% exact-name purity; the engine is only partly coherent
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Heavy reliance on a few link/xyz/fusion bosses and on Primite/Fiendsmith starters that each appear only about a third of the time

Critical choke points

• A single 3-copy starter gives about 33% odds in the opening 5-card hand
• Extra Deck boss summons depend on specific Fiendsmith or Bystial material

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Called by the Grave is Forbidden in Master Duel and run at one copy (Illegal); Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Bystial Magnamhut and Crossout Designator are Semi-Limited or Limited and within their caps; Main 41 and Extra 15 are within the master-duel size rules; Side Deck is empty
• Inferred: Starter odds from hypergeometric draws (33% for a 3-copy starter, 68% for the archetype core); Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14 derived from card text and composition; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit, since no dated meta sample or tournament link is supplied
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied, so D12 and post-side plans are unscored Deck is Illegal (Called by the Grave), so the result is theoretical/structural-only
