Legality
Main 40 / Extra 1 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Board of Machine beaters (Metalzoa 3000 ATK via Zoa + Metalmorph; Zoa, Barrel Dragon, Gatling Dragon at 2600 ATK) that are supported by repeatable coin-flip removal (Barrel Dragon, Blowback Dragon, BM-4 Blast Spider).; Gatling Dragon (Fusion via Polymerization from Barrel Dragon + Blowback Dragon) as a one-card board sweeper that destroys up to the number of coin heads.
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Monster Reborn or Card Destruction, Fissure or Dark Hole to clear, then deploy a Normal Monster body (Blocker, Bugroth, Mechanicalchaser) backed by Waboku.
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Dark Hole or Fissure to reset the opponent's board, then rebuild with Time Machine-recovered monsters and coin-flip effect monsters.
- Recovery: Time Machine and Monster Reborn return battle-destroyed monsters; Card Destruction and Soul Exchange refill hand; Malevolent Nuzzler adds pressure.
- After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-three.
Why it scores here
The deck is a generic Dark/Machine toolbox rather than a true engine: its archetype purity is 2.4% and 40 of 40 main-deck cards are generic, so the 'Hole' label contributes no engine. Consistency comes from 3-of Normal Monster bodies and Waboku, but the 1-copy and 2-copy key cards (Polymerization, Metalmorph, Zoa) give low opening-hand odds (P(>=1 copy in a 5-card hand) of 0.125 to 0.34). Interaction is the deck's strongest area: coin-flip removal from Barrel Dragon, Blowback Dragon and BM-4 Blast Spider, plus Fissure and Dark Hole, gives broad board control, while Dark Hole also destroys the deck's own monsters. Offense rests on several 2600-3000 ATK bodies that are reachable but not reliably assembled, and the lone Gatling Dragon in the Extra Deck is a single-card dependency. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction evaluated on the system; popularity and card-level strength were not credited, and card scores were not averaged.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 45 | P(>=1 Polymerization in 5) = 0.125 and P(>=1 Zoa or Metalmorph in 5) = 0.125 to 0.237; no real starter engine; generic card pool (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | Three-copy Normal Monsters and Waboku give functional hands, but Fissure and Dark Hole are dead in some boards; estimated brick risk moderate (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | Ceiling via Gatling Dragon sweep and Metalzoa (3000 ATK) is real, judged from card text; no recorded boards (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | combos_evidence is empty ('no parseable boards'), so median output is estimated from card text only (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Time Machine and Monster Reborn recover monsters, and several effect monsters create repeated board presence; no independent-line data (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 50 | Card Destruction, Soul Exchange and Malevolent Nuzzler offer some card flow, but no net advantage data exists (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 60 | Ten removal-text cards (Barrel Dragon, Blowback Dragon, BM-4, Blast Spider, Fissure, Dark Hole) give breadth; no interaction-density measurement (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Dark Hole and Fissure reset a board on going second, and coin-flip removal can challenge boards; no going-second split recorded (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 50 | Four bodies at 2600 to 3000 ATK provide closing power, but no end-board or win-rate data (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 60 | 40 cards with 21 distinct entries and 3-of density give good compactness for a toolbox list (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 35 | Only one Extra Deck card (Gatling Dragon, Fusion) that depends on Polymerization and two specific Dragons; a choke point (Verified composition, Inferred consequence) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side adaptability exists (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 45 | Tournament context is unavailable and no dated meta sample is supplied; scored as provisional and dropped from structural weights (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 55 | Lines are short but require sequencing (Polymerization, Zoa + Metalmorph, Time Machine recovery); decision points are moderate (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Toolbox profile with D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalized to 95 (meta-neutral structural score). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Dependence on one Extra-Deck card (-3); Empty side deck (-2); Engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, D13 dropped): 0.80*49 + 0.20*42 - 7 = 40.6, rounded to 41
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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
- Broad removal coverage across coin-flip effect monsters and spells
- Three-copy Normal Monsters and Waboku give playable hands
- Compact 40-card list with few dead slots
Weaknesses
- No real engine; the Hole archetype label is nominal (2.4% purity)
- Key 1-copy cards (Polymerization, Metalmorph, Zoa) are unreliable to open
- No side deck
- Single-card Extra Deck dependency on Gatling Dragon
Critical choke points
- Polymerization is the only route to Gatling Dragon
- Zoa plus Metalmorph is the only route to Metalzoa
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dark Hole | Side deck of 15 (e.g. a second-tier removal or a counter for the opponent's likely boards) | Dark Hole conflicts with the Machine beatdown plan and the deck has no side deck; a side deck adds adaptability |
| 2 | Fissure (1 copy) | A second Polymerization-independent Extra or backup Fusion route, if the deck can support one | Reduces the single-card Gatling dependency; any change must stay within the 40-60 main size rule |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 40, Extra 1, Side 0; legal under master-duel size rules; Card Destruction and Monster Reborn each run 1 copy, within Limited status; Archetype purity 2.4%; 40 of 40 main cards are generic; Extra Deck is one Fusion monster (Gatling Dragon)
- Inferred: Opening-hand odds for key cards from the hypergeometric table; Removal breadth and Dark Hole self-conflict from card text; Ceiling via Gatling Dragon sweep and Metalzoa from card text
- Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated meta sample); Matchup fit (no tournament context)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent usage_statistics show 100% inclusion on all 22 rows, which looks self-referential rather than a population sample; weak evidence no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup rates unknown Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
