Aleister Deck #762348 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK Invoked Fusion Monster (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Invoked Elysium 3200 ATK, Invoked Oceanus 3000 ATK) through the Aleister/Invocation engine; Interaction-backed board control from hand traps and negation spells (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn cards, Crossout Designator, Called by the Grave)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Aleister the Invoker or Aleister the Reminiscent and set up a Fusion Summon with Invocation or Invocation - Sword, keeping Ash Blossom and Droll as responses (Inferred from card text; no combo recordings)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Nibiru, Evenly Matched) to disrupt the opponent first, then rebuild the fusion engine from the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY via Invocation, Gamma Summon and Aleister the Reminiscent once hand traps are spent (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is scored only as a structural system because its legality is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Semi-Limited Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization (limit 2) and 1 copy of Forbidden Dimension Shifter, so the score is capped low. Its engine is the Aleister/Invocation Fusion line: the archetype core is present in 35 copies, and Aleister the Invoker, Invocation and Invocation - Sword give a well-supported chance of a live starter, with about 0.25 probability per 3-copy card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 11 hand traps, 17 negation-text cards and 25 removal-text cards, which raises end-board and going-second strength (Inferred from card text). Floor and median output are unmeasured because the deck has no recorded boards, and the 0-card side deck and 22 tech cards lower consistency and flexibility. Popularity and archetype stats were not used to add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); no_side_deck (0). Final formula: Illegal: theoretical/structural-only. Uncapped 0.80*56 + 0.20*40 = 52.8, then banlist modifier -10 gives 42.8; capped at 30 per the Illegal rule.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Large Extra Deck coverage with 12 Fusion Monsters across the Invoked and Aleister lines
• Dense interaction: 11 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards
• Strong Extra Deck ceilings such as Hyperinvoked Aeon (3800 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: over copy limit on Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization, and Forbidden Dimension Shifter included
• Zero side deck cards, so no post-side plan
• Low exact-archetype purity (4.2%) with many off-archetype tech and hand traps
• No recorded boards, so floor and median output are unknown

Critical choke points

• Aleister the Invoker / Invocation access to the Fusion engine
• Dimension Shifter is Forbidden and must be removed before the list is playable

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 3 over-limit violations (Ash Blossom 3/2, Super Polymerization 3/2, Dimension Shifter 1/0 Forbidden); Main 56 and Extra 15 within TCG size rules; 0 side cards; Hypergeometric probabilities from the resolved list; Composition counts (11 hand traps, 22 tech, 17 searcher text, 4.2% exact purity)
• Inferred: Starter accessibility and brick estimate from probabilities and card text; Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Extra Deck ceiling from card text (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK etc.)
• Provisional: Median output and floor (no boards); Matchup and meta fit (no tournament context); Meta Power
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck; post-side performance cannot be assessed
