Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 66/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Invoked boss monsters (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Zoroa, De Anima, Mechaba, Oceanus) through Aleister and Invocation searches, then protect the board with negations and removal.; Link-based pressure (Endymion, Artemis, Almiraj, Little Knight, Aleister the Invoker of Madness) when the Extra Deck slots allow it.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Aleister or Aiwass plus Invocation or Magical Meltdown, search and Fusion Summon an Invoked boss; hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Ghost Ogre for the first disruption.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's 9 hand traps (Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre x2, Maxx C) to stop the opponent's first board, then convert the GY and banished Invoked monsters into a Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Invocation and Aleister Invoker recur from the GY and banishment to rebuild the Fusion chain; Mulcharmy hand effects refill the hand.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck opens a live engine reliably: about 58% of openings contain an Aleister monster and about 92% contain at least one of the 15 Aleister, Aiwass or Magical Meltdown entry cards (hypergeometric, Inferred). Once live, it converts into strong Invoked Fusion bosses with negation, banish and lock effects, which is why conversion and endboard interaction score high. Nine hand traps and Maxx C give it a strong going-second plan, and recursion from the GY keeps resources flowing. The score is held down by the absence of recorded combos, so floor and median are text-only inference, by Extra Deck crowding from the five Link monsters, and by a provisional matchup read. Popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from the system as a whole.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 70.4, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 74, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 64. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*70.4 + 0.20*64 - 3 = 66.1

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Consistent 3-copy starters with 16 searcher-text cards
• Nine hand traps and Maxx C give strong going-second interaction
• High-ceiling Invoked Fusion bosses with negation and removal
• Recursion from the GY keeps resources renewing

Weaknesses

• No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only
• Extra Deck crowding from the five Link monsters
• Hand traps and Fusion starters compete for hand space, risking dead or conflicting hands
• High pilot complexity

Critical choke points

• Aleister monsters or Aiwass as the engine entry; losing them to hand traps or a board breaker stalls the Fusion route
• Invocation as the single Fusion Summon enabler in the Main Phase

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Maxx C Limited at 1 copy; Super Polymerization Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Composition: 10 Fusion and 5 Link extra; 9 hand traps; 16 searcher-text cards
• Observed: Usage stats: the core Invoked Fusion monsters have 94 to 100% inclusion
• Inferred: P(at least 1 Aleister monster in opening 5) about 0.58; P(at least 1 of 15 entry cards in opening 5) about 0.92; Going-second P(at least 1 hand trap in 6) about 0.81; Engine access, brick, floor and median, interaction and closing estimates from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability: no per-pilot or win-rate data
• Data gaps: No combos_evidence (0 parseable boards), so D3 and D4 are text-only inference No tournament link or meta-share, so D13 and Meta Power are provisional usage_statistics.in_this_deck flags conflict with the cards array: Mechaba, Sorath, Oceanus, Baybarron, Aeon, Raidjin, Little Knight, Almiraj, Aleister Madness and Artemis show in_this_deck false but are present as extra-zone cards. The 44% core_present_pct is therefore unreliable and was not used. archetype_core_group (27 copies, 0.998) conflicts with the exact-name purity of 19 copies; not used No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or OTK rates) Deck title is null
