Earth Machine Deck #736581 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 73/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank 10 XYZ/Link OTK via Train and Infinitrack engine; Midrange value via searcher-stock and Extra-Deck summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Set 2-3 turn 1, develop with Heavy Forward/Infinitrack Harvester, pop key cards, turn 2-3 assemble rank 10 for burst
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand into turn 1 set, answer while developing, pivot to rank 10 or board control by turn 3
• Recovery: Hand-trap disruption (Maxx "C", Droll), backrow from Heavy Armored Knight/Babeldecker, rank 10 from GY via reanimation or Extra
• After siding: Side into targeted removal and floodgate-like tech; keep rank 10 access and searcher density

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan via strong searcher density and the Train/Infinitrack engine, converting to high-end burst with multiple rank 10 paths (ceiling 85). Floor is constrained by brick risk from conflicting normals and disruption susceptibility (D5/D2). It produces consistent midrange pressure and above-average closing power, but suffers from moderate brick rate and limited post-side adaptability, yielding a solid 73 overall.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (primary Combo, secondary Midrange). Structural ≈ 73, Going First ≈ 75, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: archetype_popularity (0); brick rate (-5); extra_deck_coverage (5); post_side_plan (-3); format_uncertainty (-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: — going-first lines vs — going-second lines

Strengths

• High archetype purity with 24 Train and strong Infinitrack support
• Excellent Extra-Deck coverage with multiple rank 10 and link threats
• Strong opening searcher density (29 searchers) and high P(≥1 core ≈ 0.93)
• Powerful end-board ATK and multiple bypass paths via rank 10
• Redundant engine routes through Train, Infinitrack, and Machina

Weaknesses

• Brick risk from 38 off-archetype cards and conflicting Normal Monsters
• Limited hand-trap coverage (3 cards) and light recursion
• Vulnerable to targeted disruption before rank 10 resolves
• Sparse side deck and no confirmed post-side win-rate data
• Dependence on specific Extra-Deck cards for consistent rank 10 access

Critical choke points

• Turn 1-2 consistency: missing key engine pieces leads to brick
• Rank 10 assembly delay if multiple tribute fodder required
• Reliance on specific Extra-Deck targets (e.g., Superdreadnoughts)
• Disruption timing: failure to protect early sets risks falling behind

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status and card counts; composition spread and archetype purity numbers; probabilities derived from deck structure
• Observed: combo evidence notes 'no parseable boards' (combo floor/median/ceiling inferred)
• Inferred: D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, D8, D9, D10, D11, D12, D13, D14 scores and probabilities; combo floor/median/ceiling and matchup assessments; full 'why_scores' narrative and pillar ratings
• Provisional: Meta Power and tournament reliability (no dated metagame sample)
• 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
