Infernoble Knight Deck #769857 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Infernoble Knight / Noble Knight boards pushed by Emperor Charles, Captain Oliver, Chanbar and Rhynosaber, with equip-driven ATK gains; Flame Swordsman fusion and link pressure (Ultimate Flame Swordsman, Ferocious Flame Swordsman) once a Flame Swordsman monster is on the field
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Noble Knight or Infernoble Knight starters and search Noble Arms or Infernoble Arms equips, then Synchro or Link toward a 2000 to 3000 ATK boss. Theoretical only, because the list is illegal and no recorded boards exist.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence and Salamandra with Chain to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Ricciardetto and Turpin.
• Recovery: Recurring monsters from the GY (Ricciardetto, Turpin, Bradamante, Captain Roland, Ogier) and Heritage of the Chalice or Flame Swordsrealm to refill the hand.
• After siding: Not evaluable. The deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck's core is dense: 23 copies of the Noble Knight and Infernoble Knight core (P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.95), so the engine is usually reachable on turn 1 or 2. Its interaction package (2 Ash Blossom, 2 Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Salamandra with Chain, and Angelica's Angelic Ring) gives it several ways to answer a first engine. Median output is held back by 62 off-archetype copies (only 11.4% exact-name purity) and no recorded boards, so the floor is not established. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm that the list is real, but they add nothing to the score. The deck is also illegal: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a limit of 15, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read. No card scores were averaged into this deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 100% (Toolbox noted for secondary read; not blended). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list (Forbidden card and Extra Deck over limit) (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; illegal deck, theoretical only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Noble Knight and Infernoble Knight core with 3-copy starters, so it is usually live early
• Layered interaction: 2 Ash Blossom, 2 Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Salamandra with Chain and Angelica's Angelic Ring
• Several recursion routes that keep bodies coming back after a first answer

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and the Extra Deck has 17 cards against a limit of 15
• Low archetype purity (11.4% exact name) with 62 off-archetype copies, which dilutes engine coherence
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Unresolved passcode 45231177 counted as Main, which makes the list hard to verify

Critical choke points

• Equip Spell sequencing: many lines need a specific equip in the GY or on the field, and a single misplaced equip breaks the chain
• Forbidden and Limited cards (Triple Tactics Talent, S:P Little Knight, Reinforcement of the Army) must be removed for the list to be legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run 1 copy; Extra Deck is 17 against a limit of 15; Card stats and text from the evidence pack, and archetype core P(open at least one in 5) = 0.95; Usage stats: Infernoble Arms Almace 100%, Fighting Flame Dragon 100% (not in deck)
• Inferred: Consistency estimates (D1, D2) from hypergeometric draw odds and copy counts; Interaction density (D7) from role_hint_tags and text hints; Ceiling and closing read (D3, D9) from card text, since no boards exist
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent 1 passcode (45231177) could not be resolved and is counted as Main No win-rate telemetry (going first/second, matchup, starter or brick rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side plan cannot be assessed
