Invoked Deck #765377 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large Invoked Fusion Monsters (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Invoked Elysium 3200 ATK, Invoked De Anima 2900 ATK) off an Aleister monster plus a second monster, enabled by the Invocation spells; Link beats (Endymion, Aleister the Invoker of Madness, Artemis) and disruption from hand traps that keep the Fusion line alive
• Turn 1 (going first): Search an Aleister monster (Aleister the Invoker or the Reminiscent) with Magical Meltdown, Aiwass or Invocation, then build a Fusion line with Invocation or Invocation - Sword; hand traps are held back for the opponent's turn (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild with the Aleister engine through the Fusion Summon (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the graveyard: Invocation and Invocation - Sword can be used from the GY, Aleister monsters have GY and banish effects, and Triple Tactics Talent can draw cards (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how its systems work together, not from averaging its cards. Going first, the Aleister monsters (7 copies including Crowley) and the searchers (16 copies with search text) give a roughly 64% chance of an Aleister monster in an opening 5 and about 93% for at least one searcher, so the engine usually comes online by turn 2 (Inferred). Thirteen hand traps and a set of negations give the deck a strong answer to an opponent's first board, especially going second, where the chance of at least one hand trap in 6 cards is about 92% (Inferred). The Fusion ceiling is high because Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Elysium and Invoked De Anima are powerful once summoned, but no recorded boards exist, so the median output is a text-only estimate and is scored lower. Brick risk, a heavy Extra Deck load, and a deck that cannot side are the main drags. Popularity (the Invoked archetype being widely played) did not earn points; the score comes from consistency, interaction and ceiling on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Extra Deck burden (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Structural recomputed with D13 dropped and weights re-normalised over 97

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · 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

• Aleister engine with 7 monsters and 16 searcher-text cards makes a starter likely by turn 2 (Inferred)
• 13 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards give strong interaction going second (Inferred)
• High-ATK Fusion finishers (Aeon, Elysium, De Anima) give closing power (Verified text)

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Brick risk from many hand traps and tech cards that need the engine on board (Inferred)
• Heavy Extra Deck usage limits flexibility (Verified composition)

Critical choke points

• Aleister monster access: a hand without an Aleister monster or searcher leaves the Fusion line dead (Inferred)
• Extra Deck dependence: the Fusion monsters need specific Aleister and Invocation materials (Inferred)

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal deck: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Maxx C Limited 1 copy and Droll and Lock Bird Semi-Limited 2 copies, both within limits; Hypergeometric draw odds: 3 copies gives 0.3376 going first; Card text for hand traps, searchers and Fusion finishers
• Inferred: Aleister starter access ≈ 0.64 going first, ≈ 0.71 going second; Hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.92 going second; Interaction density and Fusion ceiling from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13 excluded from structural score)
• 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/second, matchup, and brick/starter rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics flags Invoked Mechaba, Sorath, Oceanus, Baybarron, Raidjin and Hyperinvoked Aeon as not in deck although the card list includes them (data conflict)
