Infernity Deck #761169 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• 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: Link and Synchro boards led by Infernity Doom Archfiend and Hundred Eyes Dragon (boss monsters), with Firewall Dragon Singularity and Thunder Dragon Colossus as extra-deck finishers; Hand-emptied Infernity recursion (Infernity Launcher, Infernity Sage, Infernity Necromancer) reviving Infernity monsters from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Empty the hand through Infernity Sage or Launcher, then Special Summon Infernity Archfiend or Necromancer from hand/GY to build a Link or Synchro board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infernity Barrier and Dominus Impulse to stop the opponent's board, then pivot to Infernity recursion once the hand is empty
• Recovery: Recur Infernity monsters from the GY via Launcher, Necromancer and This Creepy Little Punk; Monster Reborn and Premature Burial as backup revivals
• After siding: Not evaluable: side count is 0, so there is no post-side plan in the list

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs Infernity Launcher at 3 copies against a limit of 1 and four Forbidden cards (Knightmare Goblin, Isolde, Number 60, Saryuja Skull Dread), so it gets a theoretical structural read capped at 30, not a normal final score. The engine is real but fragile: 10 archetype-core copies give about 78% to open at least one in a 5-card hand, but the hand-empty requirement of Launcher, Sage and Necromancer conflicts with holding hand traps, and only 21.8% of cards carry the exact Infernity name. Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with Ash Blossom, Infernity Barrier, Dominus Impulse and Doom Archfiend giving layered negation and removal, while the 15-card Extra Deck offers several boards but no recorded line proves a median output. There is no side deck and no tournament or matchup data, so the post-side and meta read are provisional. Popularity and card-level strength were not averaged into the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (structural blend on the Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 49.8, plus modifiers (-12) = 37.8, then capped at 30 as theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Infernity Barrier, Dominus Impulse and Doom Archfiend
• Recursion through GY Infernity monsters that regenerates resources after a hand-empty
• Strong Link and Synchro bosses (Firewall Dragon Singularity 3500 ATK, Hundred Eyes Dragon 3000 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Launcher over the copy limit and four Forbidden cards
• Low exact-name purity (21.8%) and many off-archetype staples dilute the engine
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Hand-empty requirement conflicts with holding hand traps

Critical choke points

• Hand-empty requirement for Infernity Launcher, Sage and Necromancer
• Single-copy Forbidden and Limited Extra Deck links (Isolde, Saryuja) that cannot be run legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Launcher over limit; four Forbidden cards run; Exact-name purity 21.8%; Extra Deck breakdown 8 Link, 4 Synchro, 2 Xyz, 1 Fusion; Core probability: P(≥1 of 10 core in hand 5) = 0.7834
• Inferred: Engine accessibility, brick rate and recursion value from card text and hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction quality from negation and removal text tags
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated sample or tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side performance cannot be assessed
