Legality
Main 20 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Pendulum-to-Link engine: Pendulum Resonance Counters enable Link Summons of Zebufera, Duralume, and Varar for large ATK boards; Xyz pressure from Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Number 60 and Gallant Granite (Xyz cards in list)
- Turn 1 (going first): Place Angello/Dimonno in the Pendulum Zone, search a Vaalmonica engine piece with Vaalmonica Scelta or Selettrice, then Link Summon through the Resonance Counter gate (Inferred from text)
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Dark Hole, Vaalmonica Ereditare and Nibiru for disruption, then rebuild through Versare and Disarmonia searches (Inferred from text)
- Recovery: Recursion and search through Vaalmonica Versare, Vaalmonica Disarmonia and Vaalmonica Invitare after a Dark Hole or board wipe (Inferred from text)
- After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links decks run no Side Deck (0 side cards), so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system: its Pendulum-to-Link engine is consistent on paper, since the archetype core (15 copies) has a near-certain chance of at least one copy in the opening hand and six searchers give recovery options. Its ceiling comes from Link Summons of 2500-3000 ATK monsters and Xyz pressure, but no recorded boards exist, so combo conversion and median output are text-only inferences. Interaction is layered (Dark Hole, Ereditare, Followed Rhythm, Creation, Nibiru), yet the deck has no Side Deck and no matchup or tournament data, so those dimensions stay low or provisional. Popularity of the archetype and the average strength of its cards did not earn points. The list is Illegal because Dimensional Fissure runs 2 copies against a Limited limit of 1, so the score is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical and structural-only.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least one archetype core card in opening hand) ~ 0.9999 across 15 copies; Pendulum scale and six searchers support starter access (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | Only 14 distinct main cards with 10 singletons; Pendulum scale pairs and Dark Hole add dead-card risk (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 55 | No parseable boards, so ceiling is a text read of Link Summon and Xyz routes; Varar and Zebufera give large boards (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards, so median output cannot be measured; scored conservatively (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Two independent routes exist (Pendulum/Link and Xyz), but no redundant starters are verified (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Searchers and recovery spells (Versare, Disarmonia, Invitare) regenerate resources; LP swings are coin-like (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 60 | Dark Hole, Ereditare, Followed Rhythm, Creation and Nibiru give layered interaction; 10 removal-text cards (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Dark Hole and Nibiru challenge established boards; going-second split unavailable (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Varar at 3000 ATK and Zebufera/Duralume at 2500 ATK close games; Link Summon routes are text-only (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 58 | 20 main cards with 10 spells, 5 Pendulum monsters and 3 Trap cards; compact and size-legal at the Duel Links minimum (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | 9 Extra Deck cards (6 Link, 3 Xyz) match the 9-card cap; Duralume, Zebufera and Varar carry the engine, Masquerena and Xyz cards add flex (Verified structure) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 20 | No Side Deck exists in Duel Links; scored as the absence of adaptability (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype usage stats only (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Pendulum scale timing, Link Summon material choices and Resonance Counter tracking create many decision points (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54.3, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); illegal_cap (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap: min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers, 35); 0.80*54.3 + 0.20*48 = 53.0, modifiers -10 gives 43.0, capped to 35 (Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.6 · 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
- Archetype core is dense enough for near-certain access to an engine piece
- Six searchers plus recovery spells give resource regeneration
- Layered interaction across Dark Hole, Ereditare, Followed Rhythm and Nibiru
- Two independent routes (Link and Xyz) for resilience
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: Dimensional Fissure over copy limit
- No Side Deck and no post-side plan
- No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are text-only
- Pendulum scale and Resonance Counter tracking add decision load
Critical choke points
- Pendulum Zone scale pairing gates the Link Summon route
- Resonance Counter threshold (3 or 6) gates Zebufera, Duralume and Varar
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Dimensional Fissure (second copy) | 1 legal card that fits the Vaalmonica engine and is not already at its limit | Restores legality so the deck can receive a normal Final Contextual score |
| 2 | None | Record boards for this deck so combo ceiling and median can be measured | Combos are absent, leaving D3/D4 as inference only and confidence Low |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 20, Extra 9, Side 0 within Duel Links size rules; Dimensional Fissure 2 copies vs Limited limit of 1; Extra Deck breakdown: 6 Link, 3 Xyz
- Observed: Usage stats: 12 of 22 archetype core cards present (54.5%)
- Inferred: Opening-hand access probabilities (hypergeometric); Engine, interaction and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability
- 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 Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Illegal list: score capped and theoretical only
