Infernoble Knight Deck #769671 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles, Immortal Phoenix Gearfried, Ultimate Flame Swordsman) built through Fusion, Synchro and Link summons; Equip-based pressure with Noble Arms and Salamandra boosts on FIRE Warrior monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Noble Knight or Flame Swordsman starter with searchers (Heritage of the Chalice, Fighting Flame Swordsman, Renaud), reach a Synchro or Link boss, and protect the board with Ash Blossom and Gravity Collapse
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird and Evenly Matched to break the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects and the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recur Equip Spells and Flame Swordsman monsters from the GY via Noble Arms Museum, Fighting Flame Swordsman and Dark Flare Swordsman effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a connected system, not as an average of card scores. Its strongest feature is access: the archetype core (23 copies) gives about a 0.95 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 20 searcher cards add redundancy, both Inferred from the hypergeometric estimates. Interaction is dense, with 14 negation-text and 17 removal-text cards plus 9 hand traps, which supports a going-second plan (about 0.68 chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand, Inferred). Closing power comes from 3000-ATK Extra Deck bosses. The score is held down by a split engine (Flame Swordsman, Noble Knight, Mulcharmy and Salamandra), 11 tech slots, no recorded boards to measure combo floor or ceiling, and no Side Deck. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points. The list is Illegal (Ash Blossom over its copy limit, Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden), so the final score is capped as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo weights only; Stun recorded as secondary and not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-3); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*57 + 0.20*48 = 55, plus modifiers (-11) = 44; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only). Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Core engine access is high: about 0.95 chance of a core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Dense interaction: 14 negation-text and 17 removal-text cards, with 9 hand traps (Verified text, Inferred quality)
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers at 2800 to 3000 ATK (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom over its copy limit and Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden
• Split engine across Flame Swordsman, Noble Knight, Mulcharmy and Salamandra with 2.9% exact-archetype purity
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Hand-trap and removal chain depends on Ash Blossom, which is over its copy limit in this list
• Extra Deck boss access depends on Fusion, Synchro and Link material from a split engine
