Crystron Deck #698366 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 67/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Crystron Synchro boss (e.g., Quariongandrax) + Crystron Inclusion protection; Bystial / Cyber Dragon Infinity board control
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Crystron Inclusion, fetch a Crystron Tuner (Smiger/Tristaros), launch a Synchro (Eleskeletus/Quariongandrax) for early board control
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler) to disrupt, then use Crystron Inclusion or K9 engines to summon a tuner and Synchro on opponent's turn
• Recovery: Use Crystron Inclusion revival, Scrap Recycler draw, and extra‑deck recursion (Infinity, Number monsters) to rebuild after board wipes
• After siding: Rely on flexible extra‑deck choices; no side deck, so adapt by swapping main‑deck tech cards between matches

Why it scores here

The Crystron list reliably opens a core engine because the probability of drawing at least one Crystron starter in the opening hand exceeds 94%, giving a solid early plan. Hand traps and Crystron Inclusion give strong disruption and protect the board, allowing the deck to survive typical interruptions and keep pressure. Though the deck lacks a focused side deck and contains many off‑archetype cards, its multiple Synchro/XYZ options and recursion mechanisms provide decent recovery and mid‑range closing power. Scores reflect the system’s consistency and interaction rather than archetype popularity, and the absence of concrete combo logs reduces confidence in ceiling claims.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 69, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 68. Modifiers: Side deck absence (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Very high chance to open a Crystron starter
• Strong hand‑trap suite for disruption
• Multiple Synchro/XYZ bosses for flexible pressure
• Crystron Inclusion protects key monsters and adds recursion

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity; many off‑archetype cards increase variance
• No side deck limits post‑side adaptability
• Extra‑deck saturated with situational options, some may be dead

Critical choke points

• Reliance on Crystron Inclusion or a tuner to launch Synchro
• Limited fallback if both hand traps and tuner are denied

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status is Legal per banlist; Limited cards (Bystial Magnamhut, Crossout Designator, Foolish Burial) have correct copy counts
• Inferred: Core starter probability 0.9489 from archetype core; Brick proxy 0.0511 from same group; Engine flexibility inferred from multiple Crystron tuners and extra‑deck options; Interaction density inferred from role counts of negation and removal text
• Provisional: Matchup coverage inferred without tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
