Arcana Force Deck #752255 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Arcana Force XIX The Sun, Arcana Force XXI The World, Skull Dread, Geo Kraken, Zealantis, Gimmick Puppet) converting board presence into attacks or a counter win; Fusion and Link pressure via Nova Master, Absolute Zero, Berfomet, Selene and Horned Saurus, reached through searchers and Fusion Gate
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon through Zexal Construction, Earthbound Prisoner, Man with the Mark and Cyber Petit Angel, then reach a Link or Fusion boss; no reliable coin-engine line because only one Light Barrier is run
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ascended Sage, Neo Space Connector and Phantom Knights pieces to rebuild the board after a single Extra Deck boss, with Absolute Zero and Zealantis as the main board-breaking follow-ups
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Phantom Knights of Ancient Cloak, Bone Archfiend, Blackwing Zephyros and Berfomet effects, and redraw through Magical Mallet
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; best-of-3 adaptation is not possible in this list

Why it scores here

The deck opens a playable line often because 18 searchers give about an 84 percent chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but that access does not build a single engine: only 3 of 60 Main cards carry the exact Arcana Force name (4 percent purity), so most of the list is a toolbox of unrelated staples. Its conversion is carried by Extra Deck bosses such as The Sun, The World, Skull Dread and Geo Kraken, which score on closing power, not on a measured combo ceiling, since no combo boards were supplied. Interaction is limited to 11 removal-text cards and 2 negation-text cards with no hand traps or floodgates, so the deck is thin against a stable board. The score reflects consistency, median output and interaction on the system as a whole; popularity was not credited, and no individual card scores were averaged. The deck has no side deck, which caps adaptability and tournament reliability and accounts for a further modest deduction.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 45.3, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); weak_post_side_plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*45.3 + 0.20*40 - 6 = 38.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• Searcher density (18) gives high opening access to some live line
• Strong Extra Deck closing options with several 2800-3100 ATK bosses
• Full Extra Deck with three summon routes (Link, Fusion, Xyz)

Weaknesses

• Very low archetype purity (4 percent) means the Arcana Force engine is largely absent
• No hand traps or floodgates for going second
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adjustment

Critical choke points

• Single Light Barrier as the only engine-enabling field card
• Reliance on Extra Deck bosses that require specific Fusion, Link or Xyz materials

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 60 Main and 15 Extra counts, Limited card Reinforcement of the Army at 1 copy; Card texts and composition counts (copy histogram, archetype purity 4 percent, Extra Deck breakdown); Usage stats: 3 core cards all present; Hypergeometric draw odds from the resolved list
• Inferred: Searcher access and engine accessibility (P >= 1 searcher ~0.84); Brick risk from off-archetype and dead cards; Interaction quality from removal and negation text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck is registered
