Machina Deck #767853 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-based board pressure from R.B. and Sky Striker Link monsters, with Regulus and Tetherwolf as large-body finishers (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Mulcharmy and Mecha Phantom Beast Normal Summon value into Link extension (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Mecha Phantom Beast or Mulcharmy engine piece, then Link Summon through R.B. or Sky Striker Ace monsters (Inferred; no recorded boards to confirm)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 6-card hand with Ash/Droll/Droplet/Infinite Impermanence style interaction and use hand traps to break the opponent's first Link or Normal Summon (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers (Sky Striker Mobilize, Clockwork Night, Lambda Cannon, Funk Dock) and the R.B. graveyard recursion effects (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against an OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so under the rubric it receives a capped, structural-only score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally it is a multi-engine Link deck (R.B., Sky Striker, Mecha Phantom Beast, Mulcharmy, Therion) whose strength is on-paper interaction density: 15 negation-text cards, 15 removal-text cards and 7 hand traps give it a reasonable answer suite for both turns. Its weaknesses are coherence and consistency: 0 copies of cards named Machina despite the Machina archetype label, 55 off-archetype copies across five sub-archetypes, 15 singleton-heavy slots, and a 0-card Side Deck that leaves no post-side plan. No recorded combos exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences, and no tournament or win-rate data supports any meta claim. Popularity did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); no_side_deck (-3); engine_conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*47 + 0.20*35 - 11 = 34 uncapped; Illegal deck capped to 30 and labelled theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Broad on-paper interaction: 15 negation-text, 15 removal-text and 7 hand-trap cards
• Multiple independent Link engines (R.B., Sky Striker) give some route redundancy
• Going-second hand-trap coverage is high (about 0.71 for at least one in hand 6)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom over copy limit
• Archetype label does not match the list: 0 Machina cards, 55 off-archetype copies across 5 sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no adaptability for best-of-3
• No recorded combos, so the power of the engine is unverified

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Link enablers and 1-copy engine pieces (R.B. Ga10 Driller, R.B. Ga10 Cutter, R.B. Operation Test) make a specific opening hard to reach
• Searcher reliance: 7 searcher-text cards are needed to find the right engine piece

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG limit 2 (Illegal); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 (within OCG size rules); Off-archetype copy spread: 55 of 55 copies; 0 exact Machina copies; Side Deck has 0 cards
• Observed: No recorded boards exist (total_combos 0)
• Inferred: Probability estimates from the hypergeometric table (for example 0.34 for a 3-copy card in hand 5); Engine lines and recovery plans from card text; Interaction density read from text roles; Going-second hand-trap coverage (about 0.71)
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13); no tournament link or dated sample
• Data gaps: Deck title is null, so the deck can only be identified by archetype and id 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, starter or brick rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side scores are not measurable
