Infernoid Deck #714079 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Going-Second
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon high-Level Infernoid monsters (Devyaty, Seitsemas, Attondel, Onuncu) through banish-based fusion conditions to generate board presence and removal pressure; Fusion-based OTK via Infernoid Tierra with cumulative removal effects, or direct damage through banish synergy with Void engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Use Monster Gate / Reasoning to excavate and summon Infernoid starters; build a removal board with 1–2 high-Level Infernoids while maintaining banish resources for Void Breach / Flametongue interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy Dark Ruler No More or Evenly Matched to disrupt the opponent's board; leverage Void Reignition to refill hand and set up banish synergies; aim for immediate lethal or board-breaking removal chains
• Recovery: Void Reignition cycles hand and feeds graveyard; Void Breach / Flametongue recycling and ATK boost enable recovery through banished resources; limited redundancy due to high Infernoid density and banish-resource dependency
• After siding: No side deck provided; post-side resilience cannot be assessed

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG format and receives a theoretical-only evaluation. Even when corrected for legality, the core engine struggles with consistency and brick rate. The deck opens an archetype starter (Infernoid monster) ~98% of the time, but relies entirely on Monster Gate, Reasoning, Void Imagination, and Chimera Fusion as fragile excavation engines—each has narrow triggering conditions or high miss potential. Median boards produce 1–2 removal-focused Infernoids with minimal protection or redundancy; disruption of the banish-resource pipeline (Void Breach/Void Reignition) cripples recovery. Going-second remedies (Dark Ruler No More, Evenly Matched) provide tactical flexibility but do not compensate for the deck's single-lane construction and high garnet density. A 42-card main deck with aggressive copy counts (6 three-ofs) amplifies brick risk. No side deck and no tournament context preclude post-side or meta analysis. The score reflects structural fragility despite some well-developed removal synergies.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 36, Going First ≈ 32, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 24. Modifiers: Illegality penalty (Monster Gate ×3, Reasoning ×3 over limit) (-8); No side deck provided (-3); Fragile recovery / high garnet density (-4); 42-card main deck size violation (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck — theoretical-only evaluation. 0.80·Structural (36) + 0.20·TournamentReliability (24) = 32.8 → 28 after context modifiers for illegality, no side deck, high garnet density, and fragile recovery pipeline.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex 85, median 62, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Consistent archetype-core access (98% probability ≥1 Infernoid in opening hand)
• Well-developed removal synergy via Infernoid Devyaty/Seitsemas/Attondel multi-effect board
• Strong going-second interaction suite: Dark Ruler No More (×3), Evenly Matched (×3), Void Reignition hand-cycle
• Void Breach + Flametongue provide banish-resource recovery and passive ATK boost
• Extra Deck flexibility with Fusion and Link options for multiple play patterns

Weaknesses

• Deck is ILLEGAL in OCG (Monster Gate ×3, Reasoning ×3 exceed 1-copy limit)
• 42-card main deck violates OCG 40-card minimum; increases brick and statistical variance
• Heavy reliance on excavation spells (Monster Gate, Reasoning) with narrow trigger windows—single disruption breaks primary lines
• No independent starter diversity; Void Imagination, Chimera Fusion, and Decatron form a bottleneck
• Banish-resource pipeline fragile; disruption of Void Breach or graveyard access cripples recovery
• High Infernoid density (25/42 main) creates semi-redundant hands and low-value garnet situations (level-1 Decatron + Pirmais)
• Median board output (1–2 Infernoids + 1 Void Spell) does not sustain pressure into mid-game
• No side deck and no tournament performance data preclude meta analysis and post-side planning
• Limited pilotability; excavation variance and multi-step Fusion conditions introduce high decision complexity

Critical choke points

• Single Monster Gate or Reasoning activation: if negated or mis-declared, deck loses primary T1 play engine
• Void Imagination in hand: without a live Infernoid + Fusion target, hand clogs; no alternate Fusion engine
• Banish resource depletion: once Void Breach or Void Reignition resources are spent, recovery stalls and board collapses
• Level-1 garnet density (Decatron ×2, Pirmais ×1): 3 cards with limited standalone value if drawn in opening hand
• No emergency going-first protection: if opponent establishes a board T1, deck lacks proactive negation or board wipe beyond Evenly Matched (drawn-dependent)

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (Monster Gate ×3, Reasoning ×3 over 1-copy limit in OCG); Main Deck count: 42 (exceeds OCG 40-card minimum); Extra Deck count: 15/15 (legal); Side Deck count: 0/15 (no side deck provided); Card text for Infernoid Devyaty, Void Imagination, Void Breach, Dark Ruler No More, Evenly Matched resolved and confirmed; Archetype core-card presence: 12 of 25 core cards (48%) per usage statistics
• Observed: Archetype meta-share unavailable; no tournament link supplied; deck frequency unknown
• Inferred: P(≥1 Infernoid in opening hand 5) ≈ 0.986 from hypergeometric probability; P(live Void Imagination + Infernoid starter) ≈ 0.65 assuming independent draws; Full brick estimate ≈ 20% from high three-of density and excavation variance; Combo ceiling (best line) PowerIndex ≈ 85: Void Imagination → Infernoid Evil fusion + Void Breach loop + high-Level Infernoid summon; Median board PowerIndex ≈ 62: 1–2 Infernoids + 1 Void Spell + removal synergy; Interruption resilience score 28/100: single-choke-point excavation engine; limited independent lines; Going-first power ≈ 32: excavation variance + medium board ceiling; Going-second power ≈ 52: strong hand-trap and interaction suite (Dark Ruler ×3, Evenly Matched ×3); Tournament reliability ≈ 24: high variance from excavation, garnet density, illegal construction
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unavailable)
• Data gaps: Legality violation (illegal card counts) precludes normal evaluation; deck cannot compete in OCG as submitted No side deck supplied (0/15); post-side adaptation and best-of-3 resilience unassessable No parsed boards or combo data; combo floor, median, and ceiling inferred from text only (no observed PowerIndex / interaction density / resource signature) No tournament link or match records; archetype meta-share and per-pilot performance unknown; Meta Power remains Provisional No win-rate telemetry (brick rate, starter-live rate, going-first/second split, matchup results); all consistency claims marked Inferred No guides attached; no human strategic intent on archetype-specific tech or meta-positioning Deck contains 42 main + 15 extra = 57 cards; no guidance on intended 40-card conversion
