Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon Artmage Non-Finito, Artmage Diactorus, or Nerva the Power Patron of Creation (3300 ATK) off Artmage starters, then convert the board into a boss monster; Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis and Favorite HERO Shining Flare Wingman as Extra Deck pressure once the field is set
- Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter (Artmage Power Patron, Artmage Finmel, Artmage Graflare, or Artmage Academic Arcane Arts Acropolis) to search or Special Summon Medius the Pure, then Fusion Summon a boss using Artmage monsters
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Dominus Purge, or Forbidden Crown to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Artmage Pact -Awakening- or Super Polymerization into a boss
- Recovery: Artmage Litera and Artmage Graflare revive from the GY through Artmage Varnish -Alteration- and Artmage Movement -Pedigree-, which supplies follow-up searches
- After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0)
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens its engine: 17 Artmage-core copies give about a 95 percent chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand, and 16 searcher-text cards add redundancy, so the first Fusion line is accessible on most turns (Inferred). Conversion is strong on paper because the Extra Deck carries several 2800 to 3300 ATK bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based estimates only and the floor is uncertain. Interaction is layered across four hand traps, Dominus Purge, Forbidden Crown, and Artmage Impasto -Recapture- (17 negation and removal text hits), which supports resilience on the opponent's turn. The score comes from consistency, the boss ceiling, and interaction on the system, not from Artmage being a popular archetype and not from averaging individual card scores. The deck is illegal as submitted (3 copies of The Fallen & The Virtuous against a limit of 2), so the final score is capped at 30 and the result is structural-only.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 72 | P(at least 1 Artmage core in opening 5) = 0.949 across 17 copies; 2-card starter bootstrap via Power Patron and Finmel (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 58 | Hypergeometric brick proxy about 5 percent for the core group, but 28 off-archetype copies and 6 tech slots raise dead-hand risk (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | Boss ceiling from Extra Deck ATK (Nerva 3300, Non-Finito 2400, Diactorus 2800); no recorded boards so combo output is text-only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 48 | No recorded boards, so median output cannot be measured; estimated from Fusion-material requirements that depend on a second Artmage piece (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 62 | Four hand traps, Infinite Impermanence and Maxx C plus GY recursion from Litera and Graflare give at least two independent recovery routes (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Recursion from Litera, Graflare, and Varnish -Alteration- offsets Fusion material costs, but the Fusion cost per turn is high (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 68 | Layered negation: Impasto, Pact, Impermanence, Dominus Purge, Forbidden Crown, Diactorus, and Predaplant Dragostapelia text, with flag counts from the evidence (Verified text, Inferred quality) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Going-second handled by Dominus Purge and Forbidden Crown plus hand traps; no going-second split data exists (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 70 | Multiple 2800 to 3300 ATK Extra Deck bosses and Artmage monsters that cannot be targeted by card effects give closing power (Verified stats, Inferred conversion) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 60 | 40 main with 27 exact-archetype copies (49.1 percent purity), 19 Spells, and 6 tech slots; compact but off-archetype cards dilute the engine (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 62 | 12 Fusion, 1 Synchro, 1 Link, and 1 Xyz with limited dead slots; Garura 1500 ATK is a weak flex choice (Verified composition, Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 35 | Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0), so adaptability is provisional and scored low (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link and no dated meta sample; archetype share is absent, so matchup fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-step Fusion chains with material and once-per-turn restrictions and many decision points raise pilot error risk (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Fusion/Extra Deck dependence (-3); Limited/Semi-Limited exposure (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) = 60; Illegal cap applied: 30 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power provisional.
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
- Core archetype density gives near-certain access to an Artmage monster in the opening hand
- Layered negation and hand traps cover both turns
- High-ATK Extra Deck bosses with negation or battle protection on the field
Weaknesses
- Illegal copy count on The Fallen & The Virtuous (3 vs 2)
- No recorded boards; combo floor and median are unknown
- Only 49.1 percent exact-archetype purity leaves off-archetype bricks
Critical choke points
- Single Artmage starter in hand
- Fusion material chain requiring a second Artmage monster
- Maxx C and Super Polymerization as Limited/Semi-Limited single-point dependencies
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 copy of The Fallen & The Virtuous | Nothing; keep the list at the legal limit of 2 | Brings the deck within the Master Duel copy limit so it can receive a normal score |
| 2 | Garura, Wings of Resonant Life | Artmage Diactorus or a second Artmage starter, if in the list pool | Garura adds little pressure at 1500 ATK compared with the boss options |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal copy-limit violation: The Fallen & The Virtuous 3 copies vs limit 2; Maxx C is Limited (1 copy); Super Polymerization is Semi-Limited (2 copies); Extra Deck bosses and ATK values from card data
- Inferred: Starter access and brick risk from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Pilotability from Fusion chain complexity
- Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side adaptability (Master Duel has no side deck)
- Data gaps: No recorded boards, so combo ceiling, median, and floor are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going first, going second, or matchups Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
