Infernity Deck #759018 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 27/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fiendsmith and Infernity link and fusion boards built from the Extra Deck (Fiendsmith's Desirae, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Agnumday, Fiendsmith's Sequence), with Archfiend and Infernity recursion as the engine behind them; Xyz pressure and ATK swings from Evilswarm Exciton Knight and Unchained Soul Lord of Yama, plus a Forbidden-card boss line that cannot be played legally in this format
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Infernity Necromancer, Infernity Archfiend, or Fiendsmith Engraver to reach a Link or Fusion board, protected by Infernity Barrier and Infinite Impermanence where the hand allows; the plan depends on the Engraver copy limit, which this list breaks
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Infinite Impermanence, Forbidden Droplet, and Infernity Barrier as hand traps and interaction while the Archfiend and Infernity monsters rebuild the board; no side deck exists to adjust the matchup
• Recovery: Recover through Infernity Launcher, This Creepy Little Punk, Infernity Necromancer, and the Archfiend Heiress and Unchained Soul searches, with Fiendsmith's Tract and Lacrima as the Fiendsmith reload; the Forbidden extras are not recoverable in this format
• After siding: None. The side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence; this is a best-of-3 weakness

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in the OCG format: four Forbidden cards and three excess copies of Fiendsmith Engraver (Limited, 1 allowed) are in the list, so it receives a capped, structural-only score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Scored as a system, its starter access is moderate: the 7-copy archetype core has about a 64 percent chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the 10-card searcher group about 78 percent (Inferred hypergeometric estimates). Its real conversion is hard to read because no combo boards are recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are kept low. Interaction (Infernity Barrier, Infinite Impermanence, Forbidden Droplet) is a genuine strength but is spread across three hand-trap and trap slots with no side deck to adjust. Popularity was not credited: the archetype-core usage stats only confirm the list is a real build, and the score was not derived from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit_cap (-20); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(48.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.7, then -20 illegal-legality modifier, rounded to 27 (Meta provisional, null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.36 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong interaction cluster: Infernity Barrier, Infinite Impermanence, Forbidden Droplet and Buio give layered negation
• Deep Extra Deck with Link, Fusion and Xyz options that can convert resources into a board
• Recovery text is broad (Launcher, Necromancer, Heiress, Unchained Soul, Creepy Little Punk)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards and 3 copies of Fiendsmith Engraver (Limited 1)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unverified
• Low archetype purity (14.5 percent exact name); the list is a mix of Fiendsmith, Archfiend, Void, Mulcharmy and generic cards

Critical choke points

• Fiendsmith Engraver is the opening starter in several lines; the 3-copy build means it is over the Limited limit, so the deck cannot be played legally as built
• Infernity Launcher and Fiendsmith's Lacrima are single-copy engine pieces with no redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and the 5 listed copy-limit violations (legality block); Banlist status of the 4 Forbidden and 7 Limited cards (banlist_status); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 counts and copy histogram; Probability figures are computed from the Main Deck (hypergeometric)
• Inferred: Starter access 0.64 for the 7-copy core and 0.78 for the searcher group; Brick and interaction reads from card text; Midrange primary strategy from the Link and Fusion composition and the lack of recorded combos
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format standing (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample supplied No side deck (side_count 0): no post-side evidence Deck title is null, so the name field is taken from archetype
