Infernity Deck #761670 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 27 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Hand-empty swarm of Infernity monsters that generates negates and removal, then closes through Extra-Deck boss links and synchros (Underworld Goddess 3000 ATK, Unchained Abomination 3000 ATK, Adamancipator Risen - Dragite 3000 ATK).; Trishula and Chimera as additional Extra-Deck boards once the Main Deck has been cycled to an empty hand.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 with an empty hand: Infernity Launcher / Necromancer / Archfiend / This Creepy Little Punk open the Infernity engine; Launcher and Sage feed the GY for revival, then Extra-Deck summons build a board protected by Barrier/Suppression negates.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand must be converted into an empty hand before the engine goes live; Hey, Trunade! and Forbidden Droplet are the only non-engine answers. The plan is fragile against a going-first board (guide snippets describe turn 2 as easy to break).
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY: Infernity Launcher, Necromancer, Patriarch (banish-for-protection) and Conjurer (GY special summon) rebuild the board once the hand is empty again.
• After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side adaptation exists in this format.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on how it operates as a system. Four Infernity starters at 3 copies each give a hypergeometric estimate of roughly 0.96 for at least one starter in a going-first opening hand (Inferred, computed from the four starter cards, not from the single-card table). Negation and removal text is concentrated in Infernity Suppression, Infernity Barrier, Forbidden Droplet, Dragite and Underworld Goddess, which lifts interaction quality (D7). Offensive closing comes from 3000-ATK Extra-Deck links and synchros, but the deck has no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based only and the floor is unknown. The main weakness is the hand-empty activation condition: the engine and most of its negates depend on an empty hand, which lowers brick management and turn-2 reliability, and going-second play is weak according to the guide evidence. Popularity and usage-statistic presence did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Hand-empty activation choke point (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-3)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Four-starter engine with 3 copies each gives high going-first access
• Negate and removal text spread across Suppression, Barrier, Droplet, Break and Patriarch
• Extra-Deck boss ATK 3000 and link/synchro access for closing
• GY revival from Launcher, Necromancer, Patriarch and Conjurer for recovery

Weaknesses

• Hand-empty activation requirement makes bricks and mis-sequenced hands costly
• Going-second plan is weak according to guide evidence
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unverified
• No side deck in Duel Links; no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Clearing the hand to zero before the engine can go live
• Opponent interaction on the single Infernity monster that anchors the board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in duel-links: 27 Main (20-30), 9 Extra (0-9), 0 Side; Hey, Trunade! 2 of 2 Semi-Limited; Card text and stats for all 27 Main and 9 Extra cards; Infernity usage stats: 14 of 23 core cards present (60.9%)
• Observed: Three Vietnamese guides attached for the Infernity archetype
• Inferred: Starter access ~0.96 going-first (hypergeometric); Hand-empty dependency lowers consistency and turn-2 reliability; Ceiling and interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta-share and matchup fit (no tournament_context or dated sample)
• 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, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
