Invoked Deck #764826 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion beatdown: Aleister engine (Normal Summon, Invocation or Aiwass) into Hyperinvoked Aeon x2 (3800 ATK) and other Invoked Fusion bosses, with banish and negate control on the board.; Negation and removal from Invoked Mechaba, Magistus Chorozo, Invoked Sorath, Baronne de Fleur and Invoked Magistus Omega, backed by the 14 hand traps.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Aleister the Invoker or Aleister the Reminiscent, search or banish-add Invocation or Aiwass, then Fusion Summon an Invoked boss from the Extra Deck using Aleister plus one fusion material.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) to answer the opponent's first activation, then run the Aleister engine through the open board.
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Invocation, Aleister the Invoker and Invocation - Sword searches, Gamma Summon, Virakam, and Mulcharmy draw effects.
• After siding: No post-side plan: the Master Duel format has no side deck (side_count 0). Adaptation relies on hand traps and the Crossout Designator slot.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an engine: 15 Normal-Summonable or hand-activated starters (Aleister x6, Aiwass x3, Nightmare Apprentice x3, Sacred Spirit Sword x3) give a hypergeometric P(at least one in the opening 5) of about 0.91, though a live Fusion also needs a material. It converts that into Invoked Fusion bosses, with two Hyperinvoked Aeon at 3800 ATK and several negate or banish bosses. It survives disruption through 14 hand traps and independent starter routes, and it closes with boss ATK. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the whole system, not from Invoked being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores. The four off-theme Extra Deck slots and the Mulcharmy draw package cost coherence, and the absence of recorded boards keeps the ceiling and median Inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo, meta-neutral: D13 dropped and the remaining weights renormalized to 97. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Engine conflicts and Extra Deck dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 dropped from Structural and weights renormalized): 0.80*65 + 0.20*56 - 2 = 61.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Redundant starter package: 15 starter-group cards with independent entry points (Aleister x6, Aiwass x3, Apprentice x3, Sword Aiwass x3).
• Fourteen hand traps give strong going-second interaction (P >= 0.93 of at least one in 6 cards).
• Boss density: two Hyperinvoked Aeon at 3800 ATK plus Fleur, Mechaba and Omega.

Weaknesses

• Four off-core Extra Deck slots and Mulcharmy draw cards dilute the Invoked engine.
• Hand-trap-heavy list has a dead-card cost when the opponent does not act.
• No side deck in Master Duel, so no post-side adaptation.
• Five core Invoked Fusions in the usage data (Oceanus, Mechaba, Baybarron, Sorath, Raidjin) are not run.

Critical choke points

• Aleister Normal Summon plus a Fusion material is required before any boss appears.
• Opponent going-first stun before the Aleister engine resolves.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 41 Main (40-60), 15 Extra (max 15), 0 Side; restricted copies within limits (Maxx C 1/1, Crossout Designator 1/1, Droll and Lock Bird 2/2).; Card stats and text from the evidence pack (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800/3200, Baronne de Fleur 3000/2400, Invoked Mechaba 2500/2100).; Usage statistics: Invoked Oceanus, Mechaba, Baybarron, Sorath and Raidjin at 100% inclusion are not in the deck; Almiraj at 82.6% is in the deck.
• Observed: Guide snippets (Vietnamese) state that the pure Extra Deck build is stronger than mixed builds, and that the Extra Deck is heavily used.
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric draw odds (0.91 searcher group, 0.93 going-second hand trap).; Engine ceiling and median from card text only (no recorded boards).; Interaction layering from text flags (14 hand traps, negate and removal text).; Going-first and going-second power blends.
• Provisional: D13 matchup and format fit: no tournament or meta-share data.; Meta Power: null, no dated metagame sample.
• 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: going-first and going-second splits, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Master Duel has no side deck, so D12 is a structural gap rather than measured adaptability
