@Ignister Deck #678261 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Link-4 and higher monsters (Firewall Dragon, Allied Code Talker, Accesscode Talker) to build a board and push damage through the Extra Deck Link line; Maliss Link monsters recurring from the banished zone and GY to repeat board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Cyberse starter (Backup @Ignister, Wizard @Ignister) or a Radiant Typhoon searcher, pivot into a Link-3/4 monster, then hold up hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C) for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws and Radiant Typhoon searches
• Recovery: Recover Maliss Link monsters and Cyberse Link monsters from the GY and banished zone, with Backup @Ignister and Wizard @Ignister re-summoning from hand or GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in Master Duel: three Radiant Typhoon copies exceed their Semi-Limited cap and Called by the Grave is Forbidden, so the score is a capped, theoretical structural read and not a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally the deck is a three-way mix of Cyberse and @Ignister starters, Maliss Link recursion and Radiant Typhoon searchers, which gives it a real engine and nine hand traps, but the sub-archetypes overlap in purpose and the exact archetype name covers only about 9 percent of the main deck. Starter access is plausible on paper (about 32 percent for any single three-copy starter in a five-card opener, Inferred), but no recorded boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling cannot be measured and are Inferred from text only. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used as points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The empty side deck and absent tournament data leave the post-side and matchup dimensions provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 43, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-8); Engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 46 base then illegal cap applied, total modifiers -12

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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 interaction: nine hand traps plus negation and removal text cards
• Engine redundancy: three copies of several starters and a draw engine in Mulcharmy Fuwalos
• Full Extra Deck of Link monsters gives many follow-up routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts and a Forbidden card
• Three overlapping sub-archetypes with 8.6 percent exact purity
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Backup @Ignister and Wizard @Ignister are the only Cyberse starters that re-summon Link material
• Maliss recursion depends on a populated GY or banished zone that early hand traps can prevent

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal from copy-limit violations and Forbidden Called by the Grave; Extra Deck is 15 Link monsters; Main deck 43 cards within the 40-60 Master Duel range; No side deck registered
• Inferred: Starter opening probability estimates; Interaction density from card text; Floor and ceiling estimates from text since no boards exist; Engine conflict from sub-archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit, since no dated meta or tournament link exists
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
