Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Machine-tribe Xyz and Link boards (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Juggernaut Liebe, Machina Ruinforce, Flying Launcher) built from Train, Infinitrack and Machina searches; Level 10 Machine Xyz pressure via Night Train Blue Traveler and Heavy Freight Train Derricrane recursion
- Turn 1 (going first): Exceptional Schedule or Machina Redeployment to search Night Train or Heavy Forward, then Normal Summon into Infinitrack or Machina extenders toward a Level 10 Machine Xyz
- Turn 2 (going second): Forbidden Droplet and Machina Overdrive interaction on the opponent's board, then Heavy Armored Knight Babeldecker and Super Express Bullet Train to rebuild
- Recovery: Graveyard recursion: Night Train and Derricrane special summon from the GY, Infinitrack Tunneller and Trencher banish-recursion
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
The deck is Illegal: Called by the Grave is Forbidden in OCG and the list runs one copy, so under the rubric it is capped and labelled theoretical or structural-only. Its consistency is the strongest part of the list: four searchers or starters at 3 copies each give about a 0.98 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 cards, and the core Machine engines are mostly EARTH Machine, so they feed each other. Its ceiling comes from Level 10 Machine Xyz and Link boards with 4000 to 5000 ATK bosses and several negate or destroy effects, which is why offensive closing power scores well. The deck is a stack of three sub-archetypes (Train 17, Infinitrack 16, Machina 10) with exact-name Ancient Gear purity of 0%, so the engine cohesion is weaker than the archetype label suggests. It has no Side Deck, no combo boards, and no tournament or matchup data, so the score rests on the Structural read, and the Meta and matchup dimensions remain Provisional. Card scores were not averaged, and popularity did not add points.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 70 | P(>=1 searcher or starter in opening 5) = 0.98 across 21 searcher-text cards; Level 10 Machine enabler density is high (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 60 | Copy histogram 3/3/3/3 for the searchers, but many conditional Level 10 and EARTH Machine bricks; estimated full-brick risk is about 0.12 (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 55 | Ceiling is text-only: Gustav Rocket, Liebe and Ruinforce boards, with no recorded boards to confirm (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards, so the median is unknown; it is set to a text-based floor estimate (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Two Forbidden Droplets and Derricrane and Night Train recursion give some redundancy, but there is one main Machine route (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Graveyard recursion through Night Train, Derricrane, Tunneller and Trencher, with discard costs on Redeployment and Schedule (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 62 | Eight negation texts and 14 removal texts across the Main Deck, with Machina Citadel, Ballista and Overdrive as board breakers (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Gustav Rocket negation, Earth Slicer and Mountain Smasher reach a going-second board; Forbidden Droplet adds a second negate (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 70 | End-board ATK up to 5000 (Gustav Rocket), 4600 (Ruinforce), 4000 (Liebe) and 3800 (Flying Launcher) (Verified stats) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | 40 Main with 26 distinct cards, 17 Level 0 spells and traps, and three sub-archetypes with no exact-name core (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | 15 Extra: 3 Infinitrack Goliath plus 12 singletons, with Gustav Max Limited at 1 copy (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | Side Deck count is 0; no post-side plan is possible (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 45 | No tournament link and no dated meta sample; archetype share is unavailable, so the score is Provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-tribe engine with many conditional summon windows and Level-specific requirements; a tiered line is needed every turn (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weights applied. Structural ≈ 55.4, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*55.4 + 0.20*45 + modifiers(-12) = 41; Illegal rule caps the final at 30 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta provisional.
