Infernoid Deck #771089 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 27/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Special Summoned Infernoid boards (Infernoid Tierra, Infernoid Evil, Infernoid Flood and the Fiend/Infernoid Link line) overwhelm the opponent's field once the Infernoid starter chain resolves.; Void recursion (Void Reignition, Void Vanishment, Void Breach) rebuilds the Infernoid engine after an interruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Infernoid starter (Onuncu, Devyaty, Sjette, Antra) and use Void Imagination or Dark Fusion to reach a Fusion or Link board; no combo corpus exists, so the line is Inferred from card text only.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Void Vanishment or Void Feast to answer the opponent's board and then rebuild with Infernoid Fusion or Link monsters; this depends on the same starter density as going first.
• Recovery: Banish Infernoid Antra or Patrulea from the hand or GY to restart the Infernoid summon chain; Void Reignition then rebuilds the hand.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

The deck opens its engine reliably: 17 archetype-core copies give an Inferred P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.82, and the Infernoid summon chain can start from hand or GY. Conversion is less certain because the combo evidence is empty, so the ceiling and median are both text-only inferences. Interaction is broad on paper (12 negation-text cards, 30 removal-text cards), but there are no hand traps and no floodgates. The score is held down by legality: three copies each of Monster Gate and Reasoning exceed their Limited limit of 1, and Reprodocus is Forbidden, so the deck is capped at 27 and its evaluation is theoretical and structural only. The score does not come from Infernoid's popularity (no meta-share data exists) and was not obtained by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(50.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 47.4; context modifiers -8 gives 39.4; Illegal status caps the final at 27 (theoretical/structural only, no normal Final Contextual score). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Large archetype-core density (17 copies, 36 exact-archetype copies) makes the Infernoid starter reliably reachable on turn 1 (Inferred)
• Broad removal and negation text across Infernoid starters and Void spells (Inferred)
• Infernoid Fusion and Link Extra Deck options provide multiple boss routes (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three copy-limit violations and a Forbidden card
• No side deck, so no adaptation between games
• No combo corpus, so conversion and median output are unverified
• Off-archetype cards (39 copies) and generic staples dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Monster Gate, Reasoning and Reprodocus must be removed before the list is playable; without that the deck cannot be legally evaluated for play
• Infernoid starters must banish from hand or GY, so a hand-disruption or GY-exile interaction could shut down the first turn (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Monster Gate x3 (limit 1), Reasoning x3 (limit 1), Reprodocus x1 (Forbidden); Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Archetype purity 48% exact-name; Hypergeometric estimates from the resolved list
• Observed: Usage: Infernoid Decatron and Void Breach appear in 67% of recorded decks in the usage statistics
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick rate from hypergeometric estimates and card text; Going-first and going-second strength from card text and archetype density; Interaction quality from negation and removal text counts
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: 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 No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are unknown Meta power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered; post-side adaptability cannot be assessed
