Identity & game plan

Win condition: Snake-Eye Flamberge Dragon and the link-monster Extra Deck (Zealantis, Underworld Goddess, Promethean Princess, Amblowhale) converting Level 1 FIRE starters into a large board.; Repeated Sinful Spoils and Diabellstar recursion that grinds back the board after interaction.
Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Level 1 FIRE starter (Poplar, Oak, Ash or Birch) whose text adds or summons another Snake-Eye, then reach Flamberge and a link summon.
Turn 2 (going second): Use the 7 hand traps (Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Infinite Impermanence) to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through the Snake-Eye starters.
Recovery: Recycle from the GY with Snake-Eye Oak, Snake-Eye Ash and the Sinful Spoils Spell/Trap effects, then re-launch the engine.
After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck, so the post-side plan is structurally absent.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Level 1 FIRE starter: 7 such monsters are in the list, and the group has an estimated 0.76 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, computed from the hypergeometric draw). Its strength is the system, not the average card: starters, Sinful Spoils recursion, and 7 hand traps chain into a Flamberge and link-summon board with several independent routes. The ceiling is credited from card text and the 9-slot Extra Deck, but no recorded boards exist, so floor and median are inferred and kept modest. Popularity (Tier 1 guide mention, 100% inclusion of several core cards) confirms the list is real and accessible but did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. Points are deducted for low archetype purity (28%, with 17 generic copies), the lack of a side deck, and an extra-deck dependence on specific link materials.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	72	P(>=1 Level 1 FIRE starter in 5) ~0.76, computed from 7 starters; Poplar P(>=1) 0.43 at 3 copies (Inferred)
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	60	7 hand traps and 3 Cosmic Cyclone plus Diabellstar/Seeker copies can be dead or conflicting in some hands; copy histogram 7x1, 4x2, 5x3 (Inferred)
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	66	Ceiling from card text: Flamberge 3000 ATK, Underworld Goddess 3000, Zealantis 2500 linked to a FIRE engine; no parseable boards (Inferred semantic read)
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	55	No recorded boards, so median/floor cannot be measured; only starter diversity is evidenced (Inferred, data gap)
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	70	Several independent starters (Poplar, Oak, Ash, Birch), plus Droll and Ghost Ogre, give more than one line through disruption (Inferred)
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	68	Sinful Spoils and Diabellstar recursion from GY/banish plus Oak/Ash recovery; resource_signature not supplied (Inferred from text)
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	74	11 removal-text and 3 negation-text cards, 7 hand traps and 3 Cosmic Cyclone; layering is good (Inferred from text flags)
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	70	7 hand traps plus Droll and Ghost Ogre give strong going-second interaction; no going-second split measured (Inferred)
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	68	Several 2500-3000 ATK link and Flamberge bosses; piercing and direct text not evaluated in depth (Inferred)
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	55	16 distinct main cards in 30 slots, but archetype purity is only 28.2% (Verified count, Inferred efficiency)
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	65	9 of 9 Extra slots used: 8 link + 1 Xyz; usage shows Knightmare Phoenix, I:P Masquerena and Underworld Goddess at 100% but not run (Verified usage stat)
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	40	Duel Links has no side deck, so there is no post-side evidence; scored as structurally absent (Provisional)
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	65	Archetype usage context only; no dated metagame sample; guide calls Snake-Eye Tier 1 (Provisional)
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	55	Chains of optional triggers and multi-step starter-to-Flamberge sequencing raise the decision load; step count from examples not available (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: No side deck (Duel Links) (-2); Low archetype purity / engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*65.1 + 0.20*62 - 4 = 60.5 -> 60

Probability & combo summary

Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

Seven Level 1 FIRE starters with redundant summon and search text
Seven hand traps plus Cosmic Cyclone and Ghost Ogre give layered interaction
Full 9-slot Extra Deck with several 2500-3000 ATK link bosses
Archetype core pieces (Flamberge, Oak, Ash, Birch) are on the usage core list

Weaknesses

Low exact-name archetype purity (28.2%) with 17 generic copies
Missing usage-core cards: Forbidden Droplet (75%) and Startling Stare (55%)
Snake-Eye Birch run at 1 copy against a typical 2
No side deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

Opening a Level 1 FIRE starter: P(>=1) about 0.76 in 5 cards, so about a quarter of openers depend on a turn-2 recovery
Single-copy Snake-Eye Ash and Birch decide whether the second starter exists

Recommended changes

Priority	Remove	Add	Reason
1	one Infinite Impermanence	second Snake-Eye Birch	Usage statistics show Snake-Eye Birch typically runs 2 copies and this list runs 1; the swap adds a starter without new generic copies.
2	one Cosmic Cyclone	Forbidden Droplet	Forbidden Droplet is a 75% usage-core card absent from this list (usage statistics only; its card text is not in the evidence pack).

Evidence & confidence

Verified: Legality: 30 main, 9 extra, 0 side; Legal; Lyrilusc at Limited 1 copy run 1; Exact-name purity 28.2% and 17 generic copies; Usage statistics: Flamberge core 100%, Birch typical 2 copies, Forbidden Droplet 75% not run; Level 1 FIRE starter count 7 from the copy histogram
Inferred: P(>=1 Level 1 FIRE starter in 5) ~0.76 (computed group estimate); Hand-trap and brick estimates, going-second interaction strength; Ceiling from card text; floor and median inferred
Provisional: Meta Power null; format-fit score without a dated metagame sample; Post-side score (no side deck)
