Infernoid Deck #767337 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox, Fusion/Link
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Infernoid boss monsters (Infernoid Tierra 3400 ATK, Infernoid Onuncu 3000, Infernoid Devyaty 2900) reached through Infernoid Special Summons that banish or send Infernoid monsters from hand and Graveyard; Fusion and Link extra-deck monsters (Infernoid Evil, Infernoid Flood, Promethean Princess) and Fusion Summons via Void spells and Dark Fusion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Infernoid monster and Infernoid Decatron (Tuner) or a Void spell, then Special Summon Infernoid bodies by banishing Infernoids from hand or GY and convert into a 2900-3400 ATK boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Void Feast or Void Imagination to make a Special Summon/Fusion chain through the opponent's board, with Infernoid Onuncu/Devyaty for board-breaking, but no hand traps and no side deck to answer disruption
• Recovery: Return Infernoid monsters from the GY through their own Special Summon procedures, Void Reignition and Void Breach to recycle hand and banished monsters
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the main deck must carry every adjustment

Why it scores here

The deck opens a live engine in most hands: the archetype core of 18 copies gives about an 84% chance of at least one Infernoid in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), and three Infernoid Decatron give a Tuner starter that can begin the summon chain. Its ceiling comes from the Infernoid boss line (Tierra, Onuncu, Devyaty, 2900-3400 ATK) and the Fusion/Link extra-deck coverage, which are real but unmeasured because no recorded boards exist, so the median is scored lower than the ceiling. Interaction is mostly Void spells and Void Seer-style protection with no hand traps and no side deck, which keeps the going-second score modest. Popularity was not rewarded: the archetype usage stats confirm the list is real but do not add strength, and the score comes from consistency, boss output and recovery on the system, not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Engine conflicts from foreign archetypes (-2); Limited-card exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 59.85 -> 60, TR 52, base 58.4, modifiers -2 -> 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.16 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Infernoid engine is dense (18 copies, about 84% to have one in a 5-card hand)
• Boss ATK ceiling is high (Tierra 3400, Onuncu 3000, Devyaty 2900)
• Recursion through GY and banished Infernoids plus Void Reignition and Void Breach
• Full 15-slot Extra Deck with both Fusion and Link coverage

Weaknesses

• Zero side deck slots, so no post-side plan and no answer to format shifts
• Zero hand traps and little going-second interaction
• Foreign engines (Chimera, Charmer, Crusadia, Salamangreat, Kuriboh) dilute the core
• Level-sum and banish summon conditions make the deck demanding to pilot

Critical choke points

• Decatron and the first Infernoid monster must both be live on T1; a dead opening hand has no recovery before the boss
• A single Void spell failing to resolve breaks the Void recursion line
• Summon conditions depend on the Level total of effect monsters staying at 8 or lower

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 60 main / 15 extra / 0 side, all restricted cards at 1 copy each (Limited); Boss ATK/DEF values from card data; Archetype core presence 18 copies (usage stat context)
• Observed: Composition counts: 36 Spells, 16 singletons, 9 Link and 6 Fusion Extra Deck monsters; Archetype purity 49.3% exact name
• Inferred: P(at least one core Infernoid in 5-card hand) 0.844 from hypergeometric; Consistency and brick estimates; Going-first/second balance from text and interaction density; Combo ceiling and interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13) and Tournament Reliability; Median output (D4) with no recorded boards
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference No side deck supplied, so post-side plan is unknown No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample removal_text count of 36 includes regex noise from generic destroy/banish text and is not a reliable interaction count
