Infernity Deck #755892 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Fiend boards (Luce the Dusk's Dark, Fiendsmith's Desirae, Underworld Goddess) once the opponent's board is negated or removed; no recorded combo line supports a specific sequence (Inferred from card text); Infernity recursion from the GY and Mulcharmy hand disruption over a long game (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fiend starter (Infernity Archfiend, Infernity Necromancer, Fabled Lurrie, This Creepy Little Punk) and hold Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first answer (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a 6-card hand with Solemn or Droll interaction to stop the opponent's Extra Deck summons, then rebuild through Infernity and Fiendsmith searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Infernity Launcher and Infernity Necromancer from the GY, plus Archfiend Heiress and Muckraker recursion, to rebuild a Fiend board (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on its system, not by averaging its cards. Its 11 main-deck core copies (Infernity Archfiend x2, Mulcharmy Fuwalos x3, Necromancer, Foolish Burial, Solemn Judgment, Lacrima, Lurrie, This Creepy Little Punk) give a 0.68 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), so the engine opens often but the starters belong to several different engines. Interaction is the strongest area: 11 negation-text cards and 17 removal-text cards, with Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike, Droll and Evenly Matched. Consistency is weakened by a 9.7% exact-archetype purity (65 off-archetype copies across Fiendsmith, Archfiend, Mulcharmy, Unchained, Greed and Void), by engines that conflict (Infernity needs an empty hand while Mulcharmy and Pot of Sloth reward having cards), and by Lava Golem and Void Apocalypse, which are likely dead without specific support. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype is in use but the list is not coherent. The deck is also Illegal, so the score is capped and is structural and theoretical only. It has no recorded combos, no side deck and no tournament data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Base 0.80*45 + 0.20*35 = 43, plus modifiers -11 = 32, capped to 30 for Illegal status. Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.68 · 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

• Strong negation and removal density (11 negation-text, 17 removal-text cards)
• Real Extra Deck threats (Luce 3500 ATK, Desirae 2800 ATK)
• Multiple GY recursion routes for Infernity

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 5 Forbidden and 3 over-limit Limited copies, Extra Deck 16 > 15
• Low archetype purity (9.7%) and 65 off-archetype copies
• Conflicting engines (empty-hand Infernity vs hand-reliant Mulcharmy and Pot of Sloth)
• No side deck
• No recorded combos to validate any line

Critical choke points

• Starters are split across Infernity and Fiendsmith, so the opening hand must contain the right engine
• Lava Golem needs opponent monsters to tribute, so it is dead when the opponent has none (Inferred from text)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal; 5 Forbidden copies; 3 Limited copies over the limit; Extra Deck 16 > 15; Exact-name archetype purity 9.7%; Hypergeometric draw probabilities recomputed and confirmed (0.2487 and 0.2929 for 3 copies); Side Deck count 0
• Inferred: Starter reliability (0.68 for the 11-copy main-deck core group); Negation and removal density read from card text; Going-first and going-second plans; Engine conflicts between Infernity and Mulcharmy or Pot of Sloth
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no tournament link or dated sample); Combo ceiling and median (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Data inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Fiendsmith's Requiem, Fiendsmith's Sequence and S:P Little Knight as not in the deck (in_this_deck false, core_present_pct 72.7), but all three are present in the Extra Deck with 1 copy each, so core presence is 11/11 (100%). The usage check appears to read the Main Deck only. Full-brick and key-combo rates were not computed
