Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion or Link summon a large Ancient Gear monster (Chaos Ancient Gear Giant, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, Megaton Golem, or Ballista) and attack through a board the opponent cannot easily rebuild; Ancient Gear Golem and Dark Golem on-field attacks that block the opponent's attack step through Spell/Trap activation restrictions
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Ancient Gear Advance, Wyvern, or Statue (each ~34% to be in a 5-card hand), search the core, then Normal Summon Commander or Tanker into a Fusion or Link line
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Statue or Wyvern to interact with the opponent's summons, then go to Fusion/Link on the next turn with Ultimate Slayer, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm or Urgent Schedule as the reactive layer
- Recovery: Ancient Gear Advance and Dark Golem draw or search, and Geartown or Catapult can Special Summon from the Graveyard or Deck after a board wipe
- After siding: No Side Deck: no post-side plan exists in the export. Best-of-3 play would repeat the same main deck
Why it scores here
The deck is scored on the system, not by averaging its cards: it opens a functional Ancient Gear starter (Advance, Wyvern, Statue, or Dark Golem) in roughly 34% of 5-card hands per copy, and the 17-copy archetype core gives about a 95% chance of at least one archetype card in the opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Conversion is limited to a Fusion/Link board: Chaos Giant and Ultimate Golem are the ceiling, but no recorded boards exist, so the floor and median are text-only estimates. Interaction is the deck's strongest layer, with three Ultimate Slayer, three Forbidden Droplet, three Lightning Storm, three Urgent Schedule and one Raigeki covering both boards. The score is held back by a large off-archetype component (Mulcharmy, Train, Forbidden, Cyclone, and Time Thief cards), by Extra Deck slots that are likely dead (two Synchro monsters with no tuner source in the Main Deck, and Mereologic, which needs two Level 9 materials), and by the lack of a Side Deck. Popularity and meta-share did not earn points, and no meta or tournament data was supplied, so Meta Power is null.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(≥1 of 3-copy starter in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.34 each; P(≥1 archetype core in 5) ≈ 0.95; searcher text 11 cards, P≈0.82 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | 17 monsters and 23 spells/traps; six Mulcharmy monsters need an empty field to activate, and reactive cards dead without targets (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 62 | Ceiling via Fusion/Link to Chaos Giant 4500 ATK or Ultimate Golem 4400 ATK, but no recorded boards (Inferred semantic read) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 48 | No parseable recorded boards, so median output is text-only and conservative (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 58 | Four independent starters (Advance, Wyvern, Statue, Dark Golem) plus Geartown and Catapult recursion; off-archetype reactive cards add redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 62 | Advance and Dark Golem draw or search; Mulcharmy draws on summon; recovery depends on Geartown and Catapult (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 72 | Removal and negation text on 7 and 6 cards; 3-copy Slayer, Droplet, Storm and Schedule plus Raigeki (Inferred semantic + verified flags) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 66 | Going-second 6-card hand P(≥1 3-copy) ≈ 0.39; Raigeki, Storm, and 4400–4500 ATK fusions with spell-lock text (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 70 | Chaos Giant attacks all monsters once each; Ultimate Golem and Megaton have piercing or spell-lock text; end-board ATK high (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 50 | 21 of 40 Main cards are Ancient Gear; 19 off-archetype cards dilute coherence; 7 tech roles (Verified composition, Inferred judgement) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 52 | 15 Extra slots: 3 Ballista, 2 Ultimate, 2 Chaos and 1 Megaton are functional; 2 Synchro and Mereologic have no tuner or Level 9 source (Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | Side deck is empty (0 cards); no post-side plan is supported by evidence (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link or dated metagame sample; archetype share unavailable, so fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 50 | Fusion/Link summon chains and multiple reactive windows; moderate decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary is reflected in D10/D11 and D5 weighting. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-2); Dead Extra Deck slots (-2); Off-archetype dilution (-1); Unrecoverable choke point (Advance-based starter access) (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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
- Ancient Gear core with multiple independent starters (Advance, Wyvern, Statue, Dark Golem)
- Strong Fusion and Link ceiling: Chaos Giant, Ultimate Golem, Megaton, Ballista
- Dense interaction across Slayer, Droplet, Storm, Schedule and Raigeki
Weaknesses
- Two Synchro monsters have no tuner source and Mereologic has no second Level 9 material, leaving about three Extra slots dead
- Large off-archetype block (Mulcharmy, Train, Forbidden, Cyclone) dilutes the engine
- No Side Deck: no post-side plan or matchup adjustment
Critical choke points
- Starter access: any single Advance, Wyvern or Statue has about a 34% chance to be in the opening 5 cards
- Fusion requires Ancient Gear Golem or Dark Golem on the field, which depends on Statue or Commander to Normal Summon them
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mereologic Aggregator | Ancient Gear Box or a third Ancient Gear Golem-compatible Extra option | Mereologic needs two Level 9 monsters and the deck has only Megaton at Level 9, so it is likely dead (Inferred) |
| 2 | One Synchro Tuner (Martial Metal Marcher or Golden Cloud Beast - Malong) | A Main Deck Tuner or a Link/Xyz option | Neither Synchro can be summoned without a Tuner on the field (Inferred) |
| 3 | One Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia | A second Ancient Gear Golem-compatible starter or a Side Deck | Mulcharmy draws only work with an empty field, and a Side Deck would restore post-side adaptability (Inferred) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within format size rules; No banlist exposure; all cards Unlimited; Composition counts: 21 Ancient Gear Main cards, 19 off-archetype, 0 Side cards; Interaction text: 7 removal and 6 negation cards
- Inferred: Starter hypergeometric odds (3-copy 0.34, core 0.95); Synchro and Mereologic dead-slot read from summon requirements; Going-second interaction estimate and Fusion/Link ceiling read from card text
- Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit; no dated metagame or tournament data
- Data gaps: No recorded combos: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
