Machina Deck #770846 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Train/Machine Xyz finishers (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK, Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer, Flying Launcher) and the Machina Citadel boss; Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max burn of 2000 per detached material
• Turn 1 (going first): Machina Redeployment or Urgent Schedule into Level 4 EARTH Machine bodies, hand-summon Unclaspare, Air Raider or Irradiator, then Night Train Blue Traveler or Super Express Bullet Train toward Level 10 Xyz
• Turn 2 (going second): Infinite Impermanence or Nibiru on the opponent's first summon, then recover with Machina Ruinforce from the GY
• Recovery: Night Train Blue Traveler and Redeployment return Machine cards from the GY; Revolving Switchyard blocks battle damage for a turn
• After siding: Not defined: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its opening reliability is driven by dense searcher text (16 cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) about 0.92) and several hand-summon starters, so it reliably reaches a Level 4 body. Conversion to pressure is strong because of Level 10 Train and Machine Xyz finishers with 4000 to 5000 ATK and Gustav Max's burn. Interaction is layered (three hand traps, six negation-text cards, Harpie's Feather Duster, Galaxy Destroyer). Two engines (Train 22 copies, Machina 21) with 35.6 percent exact-name purity reduce coherence, and the deck has no side deck and a 17-card Extra Deck over the OCG limit of 15, which caps the score. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and no combo boards were available, so the median and floor are Inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (-10); Engine conflict (Train vs Machina) (-2); No side deck (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*59 + 0.20*50 + modifiers (-8) = 49. Illegal cap applied (Extra Deck 17 > 15): final 35, theoretical/structural-only. Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• 16 searcher-text cards give very high opening access (P about 0.92)
• Several hand-summon starters (Air Raider, Irradiator, Unclaspare, Bullet Train) allow independent openings
• Level 10 Xyz finishers with 4000 to 5000 ATK and burn give strong closing power
• Layered interaction: 3 hand traps, 6 negation texts, Harpie's Feather Duster

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 17 Extra Deck cards against an OCG maximum of 15
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Two sub-archetype engines (Train 22, Machina 21) with 35.6 percent exact-name purity
• Only 5 of 19 usage-core cards present (26.3 percent); Ash Blossom and Ancient Gear Box absent

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck over the limit; two Extra cards must go before the list is legal
• Level 10 Machine requirement for Rank 10 Xyz and Ruinforce GY summons (12 levels of banished Machines)
• Archetype core is open in only 0.67 of 5-card hands (Inferred), so about a third of openings lack a core piece

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 42 is within the 40-60 range; Extra 17 exceeds the OCG max of 15; Restricted cards Foolish Burial, Harpie's Feather Duster and Gustav Max all run at the legal copy limit of 1; 16 searcher-text cards, 6 negation-text cards, 14 removal-text cards, 3 hand traps; Usage stats: 5 of 19 core cards present (26.3 percent)
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) about 0.92 and core group 0.67 from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density and resilience read from card text; Going-first and going-second scores from starter reliability, hand traps and board breakers; Pilotability from sequencing complexity of Train/Machina routes
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup fit (no tournament or archetype-share data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no side deck, so D12 is a structural read only Deck title is null
