Machina Deck #771502 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz beatdown: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Juggernaut Liebe, Flying Launcher and Number 81 Super Dora, reached through the Train and Infinitrack Machine chain; Ravenous Tarantula and River Stormer as board-control and attrition finishers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Train or Infinitrack searcher (Urgent Schedule, Exceptional Schedule, Night Train Blue Traveler, Infinitrack Harvester, Ancient Gear Box) to reach the EARTH Machine Level 10 and Level 5 bodies that feed Xyz Summons (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Sister) and Kaiju/Derricrane interaction to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Train searchers (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects, Infinitrack Tunneller GY recursion, and Heavy Freight Train Derricrane re-summons to rebuild card advantage after an interruption (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on its legal structure and card text, and the score is capped low because the list is illegal in OCG: 17 Extra Deck cards exceed the 15 maximum, Gustav Max is run 3 times against a limit of 1, and two Forbidden cards (Kashtira Arise-Heart and Varudras) are included. Engine access looks reasonable on paper: the Train searchers (18 searcher-text cards in total) give an archetype core probability of about 0.83 in an opening five, and the Level 10 and Level 5 EARTH Machine bodies feed a strong Xyz finishing range (Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK, Liebe 4000 ATK, Flying Launcher 3800 ATK). There is no recorded combo data, so floor, median and ceiling are text-based inferences only, and they are labelled as such. The empty Side Deck and the 17-card Extra Deck (two of which are Forbidden) both pull down the consistency, adaptability and pilotability scores. Usage statistics and archetype popularity did not earn points, and the card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 52, plus modifiers -12 = 40, then the Illegal cap sets the final score to 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.17 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) gives a high engine-access probability
• High-ATK Extra Deck finishers (Gustav Rocket 5000, Liebe 4000, Flying Launcher 3800)
• Multiple hand traps and negation-text cards give layered interaction

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Extra Deck over size, Gustav Max over copy limit, two Forbidden cards
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation for best-of-3
• No recorded combo data to confirm the floor or median output
• Usage statistics show several Extra Deck staples as missing even though the export lists them as present (data inconsistency)

Critical choke points

• Gustav Max is the copy-limited Xyz used by the Gustav Rocket route; with 3 copies it is not legal
• Train searchers are the only route to the Level 10 bodies; if they are not drawn the Extra Deck is dead

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Extra 17 > 15; Gustav Max 3 copies vs limit 1; Kashtira Arise-Heart and Varudras are Forbidden; Side Deck is 0 cards; Extra Deck ATK values from card data
• Inferred: Engine access 0.89 (searcher-text) and 0.83 (archetype core) from hypergeometric estimates; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction and resilience reads from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck Usage statistics mark Qliphort Genius, Super Dora, Gustav Rocket, Anger Knuckle and Ancient Gear Ballista as not in deck, but the card list includes them; the usage-stat matching for Extra Deck cards looks wrong Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
