Invoked Deck #762267 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a 2800+ ATK Invoked Fusion Monster (Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Elysium, Oceanus, De Anima) off Aleister-based Fusion chains, then use the boss to close; Aleister the Invoker and Aleister the Reminiscent chaining into Invocation / Invocation - Sword searches for repeated Fusion Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon an Aleister monster, search Invocation or Sword, then Fusion Summon through Invocation / Super Polymerization into a boss while Ash Blossom and Droll stand by for their own turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and Ghost Ogre as hand traps against the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with Aleister searchers and Invocation
• Recovery: Aleister monsters, Invocation-named searchers and Aleister the Invoker's GY effect recover from a single disruption, but the measured combo data shows no board or banish resource recovery
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so the list cannot adapt between games; post-side plan is absent

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an Aleister monster in hand about 58% of the time going first (6 Aleister monsters across 5 cards, Inferred), and a searcher is present in the opening hand about 95% of the time, so the engine usually becomes live by turn 2. The conversion of that engine is the weak link: the recorded combo ceiling is only a power index of 21 and the median is 13, with zero recorded board, boss or interaction density, so the deck's output rests on text reads rather than measured boards. Interaction is respectable on paper (7 hand traps, including Ash Blossom and Droll, plus negation text on several Fusion monsters), giving a going-second hand-trap coverage of about 71%. Closing power is high because the Extra Deck carries multiple 2900 to 3800 ATK Fusion monsters, but the deck has no side deck, so it cannot adapt across a best-of-three. The score comes from engine consistency, interaction and closing power evaluated on the system; Invoked's popularity and guide enthusiasm did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine compactness (2); no side deck (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex 21, median 13, board-per-starter 0
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Aleister monsters are 6 copies (3 Invoker, 3 Reminiscent) plus Crowley as a name-changer, giving redundant engine starts
• Searcher density (17 texts) makes an opening hand very likely to find an engine piece
• Seven hand traps (Ash x3, Droll x2, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, plus Mourner-style negations) cover going second
• Extra Deck carries high-ATK Fusion bosses (Hyperinvoked Aeon x2 at 3800 ATK)
• Legal under Master Duel rules with no violations; restricted cards run at their legal copy counts

Weaknesses

• Measured combo ceiling is low (best PI 21, median 13) and every combo has unknown gameplay
• No side deck, so post-side adaptation is zero
• Zero recorded board or interaction density, so resilience is judged from card text only
• Heavy Extra Deck dependence: 15 Extra cards with 10 Fusion, and the guide warns the deck eats Extra slots fast
• Several off-theme generic cards (Pot of Desires, Ghost Ogre) dilute consistency

Critical choke points

• Aleister monster access: a hand without any of the 6 Aleister monsters or the Invocation searchers stalls the Fusion route
• Super Polymerization and Invocation chains: losing these to a hand trap leaves the Extra Deck boss unreachable
• Ash Blossom and Droll as the main going-second answer: a single unanswered summon ends the turn-two plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within Master Duel size rules; Maxx C 1 of 1 Limited; Droll & Lock Bird 2 of 2 and Super Polymerization 2 of 2 Semi-Limited, all legal; Extra Deck composition: 10 Fusion, 4 Link, 1 Synchro
• Observed: Best line power index 21, median 13, 6 recorded combos (gameplay unknown); Average end hand 1.33 and zero GY/banish resource recorded
• Inferred: P(>=1 Aleister monster in opening hand 5) ~0.58 (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap coverage ~71% from the evidence probability; Textual negation and removal breadth on Fusion monsters and hand traps; Guide note that the deck eats Extra slots and is stronger played pure
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no tournament link, archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied all six recorded combos have gameplay unknown, so per-gameplay combo reads are not possible no side deck registered, so D12 cannot be measured from data
