Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Fiendsmith Fusion/Link end-board (Fiendsmith's Desirae, Chaos Angel, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) converted after hand-trap and disruption exchanges; Bystial and Kashtira Level 6/7 beatsticks (Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Baldrake, Kashtira Fenrir) as board follow-up
  • Turn 1 (going first): Opening Fiendsmith's Tract and Fiendsmith Engraver to reach Lacrima/Requiem-style Link or Fusion pressure, with Maxx "C" and Droll & Lock Bird protecting the draw and search lines
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Engraver and Tract
  • Recovery: Recursion via Fiendsmith Engraver and Lacrima the Crimson Tears from the GY, plus Branded Regained and Mulcharmy Fuwalos for card flow
  • After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's starter access is reasonable: Fiendsmith's Tract (x3), Fiendsmith Engraver (x2) and the searcher text across 13 cards give an archetype-core probability of about 0.88 of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Its interaction density is high for a control shell, with Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx "C" as hand traps, backed by negation and removal on Extra Deck monsters such as Fiendsmith's Desirae, W:P Fancy Ball and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar. Offensive closing comes from high-ATK Extra Deck bosses (Chaos Angel 3500, Super Starslayer TY-PHON 2900, Desirae 2800). No combo boards were supplied, so combo ceiling and floor are text-only inferences and were scored conservatively. The score is not a card-by-card average, and the Illegal status caps the result: Called by the Grave is Forbidden and is run at one copy, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Archetype popularity and the guide's description of the list as a Fiendsmith Control build were not treated as evidence of strength.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 72 P(>=1 archetype-core card in 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.88; Fiendsmith's Tract x3 and Engraver x2 give a multi-route bootstrap (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 58 15 hand traps and 16 tech cards, plus conditional cards such as Maxx "C" and Nibiru, add dead-draw risk on some hands; copy histogram is 11 singletons (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 No parseable boards in combo data; ceiling inferred from card text on Extra Deck bosses and Engraver recursion (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No combo supplied; median output is unknown and scored conservatively from text only (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 62 Multiple hand traps and recursive Fiendsmith monsters in the GY give alternative lines after one disruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 58 Draw cards (Maxx "C", Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Branded Regained) and GY recursion support grind; no resource signature supplied (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 70 Negation and removal text on Desirae, W:P Fancy Ball, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar and Baronne-free hand traps; no combo data to confirm layering (Inferred semantic)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 66 Going-second split not available; hand-trap density (P ≥1 hand trap in 6 cards ≈ 0.95) suggests strength when going second (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 62 End-board ATK includes Chaos Angel 3500, Super Starslayer TY-PHON 2900, Desirae 2800; Caesar 2800 (Verified stats)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 52 40 main-deck cards with 22 distinct names; exact-archetype purity is 21.8% and 43 off-archetype copies lower coherence (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 60 Extra Deck is 15 cards across Link, Fusion, Synchro and XYZ with several Fiendsmith bosses; some routes need specific materials (Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No Side Deck at all (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side adaptation exists (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 45 No tournament link or meta-share data; format fit is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 40 Three archetypes and several link/fusion routes raise decision points and sequencing load (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control primary, Midrange secondary (structural only; the deck is not evaluated on a combo basis). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical only. Normal formula would give 0.80*57 + 0.20*48 - 10 (banlist modifier) = 45; capped at 30 because the list contains a Forbidden card (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
  • Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
  • Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

  • High starter access from the Tract/Engraver/searcher package
  • Dense hand-trap and negation coverage for both going-first and going-second turns
  • High-ATK Extra Deck bosses give closing power

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: Called by the Grave (Forbidden) is run at one copy
  • No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
  • Low exact-archetype purity (21.8%) and many off-archetype staples dilute the engine
  • No combo or matchup data to confirm floor or median output

Critical choke points

  • Fiendsmith Engraver and Tract as the main search/starter route
  • Extra Deck summon materials for Fiendsmith bosses (Requiem, Lacrima, Desirae)
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Called by the Grave (1 copy, Forbidden) A legal Main Deck tech or removal slot Clears the only violation so the list is legal and can receive a normal Final Contextual score; the specific replacement card is not verified against this evidence
2 Off-archetype filler cards with conditional use (e.g. Nibiru, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) A Side Deck of at least 1 card Gives a post-side plan (D12 is 10 with no Side Deck); the specific side cards are not verified against this evidence

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0; within the master-duel size rules; Called by the Grave: 1 copy run, 0 legal copies (Forbidden) → illegal; Stats and types of Chaos Angel, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Desirae and Caesar from the evidence pack; Exact-archetype purity 21.8%
  • Inferred: Archetype-core starter access ≈ 0.88 from the hypergeometric estimate; Hand-trap density gives ≈ 0.95 for at least one hand trap in 6 cards; Control profile and the interaction and resilience reads
  • Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament link)
  • 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 for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate no Side Deck: no post-side evidence Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
