Earth Machine Deck #762178 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Train Xyz pressure: Night Train Blue Traveler and Revolving Switchyard reach a Level 10 Machine, which leads to a Rank 10 Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Xyz (Gustav Rocket, Gustav Max, Super Dora) or Liebe.; Crystron Synchro/Tuner pressure (Tristaros, Eleskeletus, Sulfador) and Cyber Dragon Infinity/Nova. Also Derricrane and Regulus as heavy-body threats.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Night Train or Exceptional/Urgent Schedule as a searcher to find the Level 10 bridge, then Switchyard or Derricrane into a Rank 10 Xyz. Hand traps are held to protect the first summon, not to act first.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Droll, Maxx C, Ghost Belle or Effect Veiler to break the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Night Train and the Schedule searchers.
• Recovery: Night Train and Exceptional Schedule recurse from the GY; Crystron Inclusion and Sulfefnir re-add Crystron pieces; Gustav Max can be re-entered from the Extra Deck.
• After siding: No side deck is registered in the export, so no post-side plan can be assessed. Best-of-3 play would use the Main Deck unchanged, which is a gap.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often. Thirteen searcher-text cards (P(at least one in a 5-card hand) = 0.88) and a three-copy Night Train (P = 0.34 going first) make the Train engine reachable by turn 2, though the Level 10 bridge is not guaranteed. Ten hand traps (P(at least one in a 6-card going-second hand) = 0.85) give it real interruption, and recursion from Night Train, Exceptional Schedule and Crystron Inclusion helps it recover. Conversion to pressure is credible on paper because Rank 10 Gustav Rocket and Gustav Max and Level 11 Liebe can carry a board. The score is not an average of card power: there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference, and the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction density and recovery. Popularity alone earned no points (the 'Earth Machine' archetype usage stats were used only for legality and coherence checks). The score is held back by an engine split across Train, Crystron and Cyber Dragon/Qli, a self-conflict in Spell Canceller against eight of its own Spell cards, and no side deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 95, since no meta sample). Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 dropped and Structural renormalised over 95): 0.80*60.0 + 0.20*55 = 59.0, minus 3 = 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Thirteen searchers and a high chance of a searcher in hand (P = 0.88)
• Ten hand traps and several Quick-Effect negates give broad interaction
• Extra Deck carries multiple Rank 10 to 12 Xyz and Synchro finishers
• Recursion from the GY across Night Train, Exceptional Schedule and Crystron Inclusion
• Legal in Master Duel with every Limited and Semi-Limited card at its legal copy count

Weaknesses

• Engine split across Train, Crystron and Cyber Dragon/Qli, with 0% exact archetype purity
• Spell Canceller conflicts with eight of the deck's own Spell cards
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are inferred only

Critical choke points

• Night Train or a Schedule searcher must reach a Level 10 bridge; without a Level 10 Machine, the Rank 10 Xyz line stalls
• Only one Rank 10 Xyz card is in hand at a time, so the bridge monsters are the single point of failure

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0, Master Duel size rules satisfied; Copy limits: Foolish Burial, Maxx C at Limited 1; Droll at Semi-Limited 2 (all compliant); Draw probabilities recomputed and confirmed (0.3376, 0.9691, 0.8453, 0.8773); Archetype spread counts (Train 18, Crystron 11) match the card list
• Observed: Usage stats: Train core and Crystron cards present with typical copies
• Inferred: Train-engine consistency and brick rate from searcher and Level 10 counts; Hand-trap interaction value and going-second strength; Recovery via GY recursion
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); D13 matchup fit (no tournament data)
• 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 in YGOVN; brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample usage statistics conflicts with the card list: Superdreadnought Flying Launcher, Juggernaut Liebe, Gustav Rocket, Gustav Max, Super Dora and Double Headed Anger Knuckle appear in the Extra Deck, but missing core cards marks them in this deck = false, so core-presence percentage (44%) is not reliable no side deck in export, so no post-side plan or D12 data
