Machina Deck #768270 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Link boards (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Super Dora, Flying Launcher, Juggernaut Liebe) closed through Train and Infinitrack searches; Machina Ruinforce and Machina Citadel as high-ATK boss monsters from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Train or Infinitrack monster (Exceptional Schedule, Urgent Schedule, Night Train Blue Traveler, Infinitrack Harvester) into a Level 10 or Xyz line; hold Ash Blossom and Dominus Purge for opposing searches.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, or Dominus Purge to blank the opponent's first search, then rebuild through Heavy Forward and Heavy Armored Knight Babeldecker.
• Recovery: Recover through Scrap Recycler, Infinitrack Tunneller and Machina Overdrive, which pull Machine monsters back from the GY, and through Clockwork Night.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher: P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.86, and Train and Infinitrack searchers give it several routes into a Level 10 or Xyz line (Inferred). Interaction is its real strength. Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Dominus Purge, Forbidden Droplet and Lightning Storm, together with 16 negation-text and 16 removal-text cards, give layered answers at both ends of a turn (Inferred from card text). The Extra Deck closes strongly, with several 3800 to 5000 ATK Xyz and Link bosses in the list. The score is held down by the deck's structure rather than by any single card: the three Mulcharmy monsters need an empty field, which conflicts with a Train and Infinitrack board, the deck runs only 4.4% exact-name Machina, and it has no Side Deck. Usage and archetype popularity did not earn points. Card scores were not averaged. Because the list is Illegal (three copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of two), the score is capped at 30 and is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-4); illegal_list_cap (-14). Final formula: Illegal cap: min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers, 30); no normal Final score. Uncapped value = 0.80*55 + 0.20*50 - 10 = 44, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Searcher density (17 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of a live opening (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps plus negation and removal text across Ash, Droll, Dominus Purge, Forbidden Droplet and Lightning Storm (Inferred)
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers, including Gustav Rocket at 5000 ATK (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2 (Verified)
• Three sub-archetypes with 4.4% exact-name purity weaken engine coherence (Verified composition)
• Mulcharmy draw bodies need an empty field, which conflicts with the Train and Infinitrack board (Inferred)
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Droll & Lock Bird and Gustav Max are both Limited, so any further additions to those roles cannot be made
• Going-second openings depend on the 6-card hand containing a hand trap (P ≈ 0.52) (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited); size 55/13/0 within OCG rules; Extra Deck is 8 Xyz and 5 Link; all ATK values from card data; Side count is 0
• Inferred: Searcher access probability ≈ 0.86 in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap coverage and interaction density from card text flags; Going-second hand-trap probability ≈ 0.52; Dimension scores D1 to D9 and D14 from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup fit is provisional with no archetype share or match record
• 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) no Side Deck supplied, so D12 has no list to evaluate Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
