Infernity Deck #751689 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 24 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Hand-empty Infernity swarm: Launcher and Necromancer recycle Infernity monsters from the Graveyard, then Extra Deck Synchro/Link bosses (Black Rose Dragon, Void Ogre Dragon, Draco Berserker, Underworld Goddess, Unchained Abomination) close the game at 2700-3000 ATK; Negate-and-destroy control: Infernity Suppression, Infernity Barrier, Infernity General, Infernity Doom Archfiend and Void Ogre Dragon remove the opponent's interaction and threats while the hand stays empty
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 dump the hand into Infernity monsters (Wildcat, Archfiend, Sage) and go to zero cards in hand, then Launcher or Necromancer to bring back Level 3 or lower Infernity monsters from the Graveyard and keep Suppression or Barrier up behind the board
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand must be converted into a handless board with Dark Hole or Infernity Break as the reset; the deck has no hand traps, so the going-second plan is a slower Infernity board that relies on Barrier and Suppression to hold the first turn
• Recovery: Launcher (3 copies) and Necromancer (3 copies) return Infernity monsters from the Graveyard, and Mirage and General can revive from Graveyard, so a cleared board can rebuild from the Graveyard without cards in hand
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so the plan is the same in every game

Why it scores here

The deck scores as a connected Infernity system, not as an average of its cards. Its three-copy starters (Launcher and Necromancer) are live in about 52 percent of going-first five-card hands, and two-copy starters in about 38 percent, which gives a moderate but real opening rate (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from the handless loop that turns Graveyard Infernity monsters back into the board, followed by Extra Deck bosses at 2700 to 3000 ATK; the guides describe this as the strongest turn-one line. Its interaction is dense for a 24-card main (Suppression x2, Barrier, General, Doom Archfiend, Void Ogre, Break), which earns its end-board score. The deck is weak in the going-second hand: it has no hand traps and needs an empty hand to function, so its going-second plan is slower. Popularity and the archetype's Duel Links presence did not earn points, and no combo boards or win-rate data exist, so the median and matchup scores are Inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine_conflict (-3); weak_going_second (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(62.2) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) + ContextModifiers(-5) = 55.8, rounded to 56; Meta Power provisional, excluded

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.52 · 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

• Three-copy starters give the most reliable opening access
• Dense negation and removal (Suppression, Barrier, General, Doom Archfiend, Void Ogre, Break) at the end of the board
• Extra bosses at 2700-3000 ATK with multiple summon routes
• Compact 24-card Main Deck with 13 distinct cards

Weaknesses

• Handless requirement conflicts with hand-based starters
• No hand traps and a weak going-second hand
• Median output and matchup fit cannot be measured from current data
• Turn-two fragility noted in guides

Critical choke points

• Emptying the hand: many engine effects require zero cards in hand, so holding a card can stall the whole line
• Launcher and Necromancer together: the recursion depends on these 6 copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal 24 Main / 9 Extra / 0 Side under Duel Links size rules; All 24 Main cards are Unlimited with no banlist exposure; Card text roles are taken from the excerpts provided
• Observed: Usage stats show the archetype core is Infernity with Launcher and Necromancer at 3 copies
• Inferred: Opening access probabilities and brick estimates from the hypergeometric model; Engine and resilience scores from card text; Interaction quality from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Median output, Side Deck adaptability and matchup fit are Provisional with no combo or tournament data; Meta Power is null because no dated meta sample exists
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred usage stats appear to be Main-Deck only and list Extra cards (Trishula, Unchained Abomination, Underworld Goddess) as missing core, which conflicts with the card list Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
