Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Azamina Sol Erysichthon, Goblin's Crazy Beast, Dragonlark Pairen, Number 70, Sword Breaker) overwhelming a board that Torrential Tribute and trap interaction have cleared or slowed; Graveyard recursion of Paleozoic and Sinful Spoils cards to keep trading interaction for board time
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a monster starter plus one or two traps; use Morrian or Snake-Eye on the opponent's best Special Summon, then build toward an Extra Deck boss while holding Mirage Mirror Force or Lost Wind
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Emissary from the House of Wax (special summonable when the opponent attacks), Mirage Mirror Force and Torrential Tribute to punish the opponent's first board, then convert with a boss monster
• Recovery: Paleozoic Dinomischus and Paleozoic Marrella revive from the Graveyard when a Trap is activated, and Dark Factory of More Production turns spare cards into draws
• After siding: None: no side deck is registered, so the deck has no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its trap-heavy main deck (20 of 40 cards) gives it several interaction options, while its Extra Deck supplies a wide set of 2500-2700 ATK boss monsters, so it can usually reach a board that outclasses the opponent once an interaction card lands. Its weakest point is starter access. Only about one in three opening 5-card hands contains any of the three-copy starters, and the Azamina engine cards (two copies each) are thin, so many hands will be reactive rather than functional. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype is well known, but the deck runs only one of the archetype's standard core cards, so the usage statistics confirm the list is real without making it strong. The score does not come from averaging card strengths. Recursion from the Graveyard and Torrential Tribute add resilience and board-clearing power, but the Extra Deck spans several unrelated engines (Azamina, Tenyi, Goblin, Dragonlark), which lowers coherence and pulls the score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 46. Modifiers: Fragmented Extra Deck engines (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Layered interaction across both turns: Mirage Mirror Force, Lost Wind, Torrential Tribute, Morrian, Snake-Eye and Triple Burst Dragon
• High-ATK boss monsters in the Extra Deck give closing power once a board is established
• Graveyard recursion through Paleozoic and Sinful Spoils cards keeps interaction available after disruption
• No banlist exposure: every card in the list is Unlimited

Weaknesses

• Low monster count in the main deck (15) means many hands are reactive traps
• Engine cards are only two copies each, so the core starters are often missing from the opening hand
• Extra Deck mixes unrelated Xyz, Link and Fusion lines, reducing coherence
• No side deck, so the deck cannot adapt between games

Critical choke points

• Opening-hand access to a monster that can start the line (about one in three hands with a three-copy starter)
• Dependence on Torrential Tribute and Mirage Mirror Force timing to stop the opponent's first board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within size rules, no copy-limit violations, no banned cards; Composition: 20 Trap, 15 monsters, 5 Spells in the main deck; 6 Link, 7 Xyz, 2 Fusion in the Extra Deck; Archetype exact-name purity 10.9%; 25 archetype core cards with 1 present
• Observed: One archetype guide exists and describes the archetype as flexible across several play patterns
• Inferred: Starter access (0.34 for a three-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand); Interaction density and board-breaking value from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta position and format fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament placement supplied; Side deck adaptability: no side deck registered
• Data gaps: No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling, median and floor are text-only inferences No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot results are unavailable No win-rate or matchup telemetry in the platform for this deck The archetype's usage statistics list 25 core cards at full inclusion, but this deck runs only one of them, so the stat is a weak guide to this build Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
