Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boards built from the Aleister and Invoked engine (Invoked Elysium, Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Augoeides) with Magistus Link support; Hand-trap and disruption-led board control into Fusion pressure, with Endymion and Artemis as Link extenders
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Aleister the Reminiscent, Aiwass, Triple Tactics Thrust, Mulcharmy draw) to reach an Aleister monster, then Fusion Summon an Invoked monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird) to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through Invocation and Gamma Summon
• Recovery: Recycle Aleister and Invocation from the GY and banish via Gamma Summon and Crowley; continuation depends on Aleister being in GY or banished
• After siding: None. The deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest systemic traits are a dense searcher and hand-trap layer (16 searcher-text cards, 16 hand-trap cards) that gives a 0.83 chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5 and a 0.89 chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6, which supports accessibility and interruption resilience. The Fusion and Link Extra Deck (15 cards, 13 distinct) gives real end-board pressure, but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's core usage is only 20% present in this list (5 of 25 core cards), and the list runs 68 off-archetype copies. The score is capped at 25 because the list is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, and the deck has no side deck. The structural figure of about 55 is shown for reference only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: the deck is over the Ash Blossom copy limit, so the score is capped at 25 (rubric Step 2) and no normal Final score applies. Reference only: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53 before modifiers, Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Dense searcher layer (16 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of finding an engine piece
• Strong interaction density from 16 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards
• Extra Deck of 15 with 11 Fusion and 4 Link cards gives end-board options and coverage

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Only 5 of 25 archetype core cards are present; 68 off-archetype copies weaken engine coherence
• No recorded boards, so combo conversion and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Aleister monster access: many Invoked Fusion and Link lines need an Aleister monster on field or in GY
• Single-copy Extra Deck staples (Invoked Oceanus, Endymion) are missing from the core build, so line variety depends on the present Fusion set

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 within size rules; Side 0; Banlist statuses of Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and S:P Little Knight (all Limited, 1 copy each, legal); Core archetype usage: 5 of 25 core cards present (20%)
• Observed: Card-level stats and text for the Fusion and Link Extra Deck
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (0.83 searcher, 0.69 core group, 0.89 hand trap going second); Interaction density and brick risk from text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and Matchup Coverage: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• 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 absent 1 passcode (86120751) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main No side deck supplied No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
