Machina Deck #767936 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 48 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Train/Machina/Infinitrack Xyz and Link beatdown through Machine-type recursion (Night Train Blue Traveler, Exceptional Schedule, Machina Redeployment, Heavy Armored Knight Babeldecker) into Rank 10 Xyz such as Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Flying Launcher and Gustav Rocket; Machina Citadel and Machina Ruinforce board-clear and Special Summon pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Heavy Forward, Exceptional Schedule, Machina Redeployment, Infinitrack Harvester) to reach a Train or Machina starter, Special Summon via Night Train or Babeldecker, and build an Xyz or Link into Gustav or Flying Launcher
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the Machine-type engine from the GY and Deck
• Recovery: Machine-type recursion from the GY: Scrap Recycler, Infinitrack Trencher, Infinitrack Tunneller and Clockwork Knight rebuild Machine monsters and Level 4 EARTH bodies after the first board is cleared
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The list is structurally coherent around Machine-type recursion: the 18 core Train/Machina copies have a P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.92, and 23 searcher-text cards give a P of about 0.97 of at least one searcher, so the engine usually becomes live by turn 2 (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 7 hand traps, 11 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards, which carries the Stun-like layer (D7 66, Inferred). Recovery through GY Machine recursion and multiple Level 4 EARTH bodies keeps resilience and grind moderate (D5 58, D6 60). The score is capped sharply because the list is Illegal: Ash Blossom is over its Semi-Limited limit by one copy and Gustav Max is over its Limited limit by one copy, and the deck has no Side Deck, so adaptability and format fit are scored low or provisional. Popularity and archetype share did not earn points, and the card scores were not averaged; the system was scored on consistency, median output and interaction, with no combo or meta data to lift the ceiling.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (over-limit Semi-Limited and Limited cards) (-6); engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 53.6, then modifiers -9 = 44.6; Illegal-list cap applied to 35 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher text (23 cards) gives a high chance of a live engine on turn 1 or 2
• Layered interaction from 7 hand traps and 26 negation or removal cards
• Machine-type GY recursion gives route redundancy and grind

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards over their copy limits
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name purity (17.5%) with four related archetypes competing for slots
• No combo or meta evidence to confirm the ceiling

Critical choke points

• Night Train Blue Traveler and the Machine-type starters in the opening hand
• Single-copy Rank 10 Xyz access (Flying Launcher, Gustav Rocket) relies on Machine-type materials

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy limit violations: Ash Blossom 3 vs 2; Gustav Max 2 vs 1; Main 48 and Extra 15 sizes are within OCG rules; No Side Deck (side_count 0); Card text and banlist status for every listed card
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Night Train and Revolving Switchyard at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities: P(≥1 core) ≈ 0.92; searcher P ≈ 0.97; Interaction quality from text roles; Going-second hand-trap probability ≈ 0.63
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck registered
