Identity & game plan

Win condition: Machine boss beatdown: Five-Headed Dragon (5000 ATK), Machina Ruinforce (4600 ATK, Special Summoned from the GY), Jizukiru, Super B.E.S. Metal Slave (3100 ATK).; Xyz/Synchro/Fusion bosses from the Extra Deck (Mereologic Aggregator x2, Elder Entity N'tss x2, Golden Cloud Beast - Malong x2, Gimmick Puppet Gigantes Doll, Borrelend Dragon).
Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Machina Redeployment, Machina Gearframe, B.E.S. Derringer Core, Gimmick Puppet Fiendish Knight) and convert it into a Machine boss; use Forbidden Droplet to clear interaction when the line is live.
Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps and cheap negations (Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet, Kiteroid, Centur-Ion True Awakening) to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Extra Deck bosses.
Recovery: Machine recursion from the GY (Machina Ruinforce banish cost, Gizmek Orochi GY/hand effects, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Trade-In for card flow); the four engines give partial alternatives when one is stopped.
After siding: No Side Deck is built and Duel Links is a single-game format, so there is no post-side plan to score (Inferred; not applicable).

Why it scores here

The deck is a multi-engine Machine list rather than one coherent archetype: exact-name purity is 0%, and its 39 off-name copies span Machina, B.E.S., Gimmick Puppet, Dogmatika, Centur-Ion, Kaiju and Roid, so engine accessibility is split across several one-of starters. Each engine has roughly a one-in-six chance to appear in an opening hand of five (P(≥1 Fiendish Knight/Derringer/Redeployment-class starter) ≈ 0.17 each), while the searcher text group reaches about 0.70, which keeps the deck from being fragile but not reliably live on turn one. Interaction is the strongest system feature: eight negation-text cards, two hand traps, and several board-breaking destroy effects give layered answers on both turns, and the Extra Deck bosses (Five-Headed Dragon 5000, Ruinforce 4600) supply the closing pressure. Score is driven by consistency, interaction, and boss closing power on the system; popularity (the Machines archetype usage stats) did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. No combos, tournament record, guides, or side plan exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only Inferred estimates and the score carries a wide ±8 band.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	50	Searcher-text group P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.70; four separate one-copy starter lines each ≈ 0.17 in hand (Inferred)
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	45	Many conditional summon requirements (GY-banish for Ruinforce, 5 GY monsters for Hydralander, Machine-only GY for Gearspring) and 25 single copies make hands uneven (Inferred)
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	50	No recorded boards; ceiling read from card text only (Ruinforce, Five-Headed, Metal Slave, Jizukiru bosses) (Inferred)
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	40	No combos_evidence (total_combos 0); median output cannot be measured (Provisional)
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	55	Hand traps, Forbidden Droplet x3, Kiteroid and Centur-Ion provide answers, and four engines give partial route redundancy (Inferred)
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	58	Trade-In, Machina Redeployment, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Desperado Barrel Dragon draw or search; GY recursion is text-only (Inferred)
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	68	Eight negation-text cards and destroy effects (Orochi, Metal Slave, Desperado, Hydralander) with multiple layers, though Droplet and Ruinforce have GY/LP costs (Inferred semantic)
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	60	Two hand traps (≈0.37 in a six-card going-second hand) plus Droplet and Kiteroid; several boards-breakers are on-field destroyers (Inferred)
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	72	Boss ATKs of 5000, 4600, 3300, 3100 and 2800 (Desperado) give strong closing power, with no direct-attack or piercing enablers verified (Verified stats, Inferred plan)
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	42	30/30 Main slots used with 27 distinct cards and 39 off-archetype copies; spread across unrelated sub-archetypes lowers coherence (Verified composition, Inferred)
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	62	9/9 Extra slots used with four Xyz/Fusion/Synchro/Link bosses in flexible numbers; Malong and N'tss run two copies each (Verified composition)
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	30	No Side Deck built and Duel Links is single-game, so no post-side plan can be scored (Provisional)
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	50	No tournament_context or dated meta sample; archetype meta-share absent (Provisional)
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	40	Multiple engines with GY- and board-conditional summons and a 25-card single-copy spread make the list demanding for a new pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52.7, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 46. Modifiers: Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-4); No side or post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)
