Invoked Deck #765356 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large Invoked Fusion Monsters from the Extra Deck (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Invoked Elysium 3200, Invoked Oceanus 3000) using Aleister monsters as the fusion bridge.; Invoked Mechaba, Invoked Sorath, Invoked Baybarron and Invoked Augoeides as additional Fusion pressure and board control once an Aleister monster is live.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Aleister the Reminiscent or Aleister the Invoker; Normal Summon triggers and Invocation / Grail / Magical Meltdown searches build the next Aleister-conditioned Fusion Summon, while Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence protect the first line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 6-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Aleister recursion from the GY and banished zones.
• Recovery: Aleister monsters and Invocation are recoverable from the GY and banishment, and Mulcharmy Fuwalos / Purulia draw cards when the hand is empty.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is single-game with no Side Deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency comes from a system, not from its cards averaged: six Aleister monsters (3 Reminiscent, 3 Invoker) plus Magical Meltdown, Invocation, Grail and Aiwass give roughly 93% of openings a searcher or engine-entry card (searcher_text_group, Inferred), and Aleister the Invoker's Normal Summon trigger keeps the first turn live. Its ceiling is high because eleven Fusion Monsters, including 3800-ATK Hyperinvoked Aeon, 3200-ATK Elysium and 3000-ATK Oceanus, convert a live Aleister into a board the opponent must answer. Eleven hand traps and several on-board negates (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Virakam, Crossout Designator) carry the interaction and resilience scores, which is where most of the points came from. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype is 100% core-included in usage stats, but that only confirms the list is standard. The score is not an average of individual card scores; no combo boards exist, so floor and median rest on text-based reasoning and are lowered for it. The deck's heavy Extra Deck use (11 Fusion, 15 Extra slots) and the Aleister dependency cost points on Extra efficiency and pilotability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: Extra Deck burden (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Aleister choke point (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*66.3 + 0.20*62 - 4 = 61

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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 Aleister starters (6 monsters plus Meltdown, Grail, Aiwass, Invocation) give high engine access.
• Eleven hand traps and multiple on-board negates cover both going-first and going-second disruption.
• High-ATK Fusion finishers (Aeon 3800, Elysium 3200, Oceanus 3000) convert engine plays into closing pressure.

Weaknesses

• Heavy Extra Deck dependence: 11 Fusion Monsters and 15 saturated Extra slots.
• Aleister monsters are a single conditional bridge; the engine stalls when they are removed before the Fusion.
• Sorcerer of the Swamp and Mulcharmy cards are off-plan slots that dilute the engine.

Critical choke points

• Losing the Aleister monsters on the first turn before Grail, Meltdown or Invocation resolves.
• Mass negation or removal that clears the field before Fusion Summons resolve.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all restricted copies within limits (Maxx C 1, Crossout Designator 1, Droll & Lock Bird 2).; Hypergeometric hand-5 probabilities for 1, 2 and 3 copies (0.125, 0.237, 0.338) and hand-6 values (0.150, 0.281, 0.394).
• Observed: Archetype usage shows Invoked core cards at 100% inclusion (usage_statistics).
• Inferred: Consistency: P(>=1 Aleister monster in 5) ~0.58; searcher group 0.935; hand-trap group 0.876 in 6 cards.; Combo ceiling and interaction quality are read from card text, not from recorded boards.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample.; Matchup fit (D13) and side-deck score (D12) are provisional.
• 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. usage_statistics flags Invoked Mechaba, Invoked Sorath, Invoked Oceanus, Invoked Baybarron, Invoked Raidjin, Hyperinvoked Aeon and others as in_this_deck=false although the cards list runs them in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct (48) is therefore unreliable for Extra Deck cards. No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional.
