Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: rush-duel-sevens

Legality

Main 36 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Gradius Machine LIGHT monsters chained through repeated Special Summons and name changes to Gradius or Gradius' Option (guide text, Inferred); the exact payoff cannot be confirmed because card names did not resolve; Unknown; no resolved payoff or finisher is available in the evidence
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with the archetype core (9 cards at 3 copies, 92% of the usage-stat core present) and start the summon chain; exact T1 sequence cannot be verified without resolved card text
• Turn 2 (going second): Not established by the evidence; no hand traps, negations or removal were flagged in the list
• Recovery: Not established by the evidence; no recursion or search text was detected
• After siding: None; the deck runs no Side Deck

Why it scores here

The deck is legal in size (36 Main Deck cards, Rush Duel allows 30-60) and its list matches the archetype core closely, with 12 of 13 usage-stat core cards present. Its consistency reads as moderate: 9 core-like cards run 3 copies, which gives a 37% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, but without resolved card text the starter and brick rates stay Inferred. No combos were recorded, so conversion and median output are scored from the Gradius guide's description of a summon-and-rename chain, not from observed boards. Interaction, going-second strength and side-deck adaptability are weak or unevidenced, and the 15 unresolved passcodes lower confidence. Popularity did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Unresolved card identities (-3); No side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 45.2, TR 40, modifiers -4, final 40.2 rounded to 40

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

• Legal size and a compact 15-entry list
• Strong archetype core: 12 of 13 usage-stat core cards present
• Consistent identity across guide and usage data

Weaknesses

• Card identities unresolved, so every functional claim is Inferred
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and floor are unmeasured
• No visible interaction, recovery or side-deck plan

Critical choke points

• Single summon-chain engine with no verified backup starter
• Unresolved passcodes could hide a restricted or illegal card

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck size 36 within 30-60; Copy histogram 3x9, 2x3, 1x3; No restricted cards run; Guide describes Gradius as a Light Machine summon-and-rename deck; Usage stat shows 12 of 13 core cards present
• Inferred: 3-copy starter probability 0.37 in a 5-card hand; Summon-chain engine as the primary plan; Absence of interaction and recovery; Brick and consistency estimates
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample); Going-second strength
• Data gaps: 15 passcodes did not resolve to card records; names, types, text and banlist status are unknown No combos recorded, so no board-based floor, median or ceiling No tournament link; archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second or matchups Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
