Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters at 2700 to 2800 ATK (Goblin's Crazy Beast, Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) once a Goblin, Fiendsmith or Radiant Typhoon starter has put them in reach; Link and Xyz pressure from Fiendsmith's Agnumday, Fiendsmith's Lacrima and Goblin Biker Big Gabonga where the materials line up
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Radiant Typhoon Eldam, Fiendsmith Engraver, Terrortop or Goblin Biker Dugg Charger), pivot to a 2-card engine line, and keep Mystical Space Typhoon or Harpie's Feather Duster for the end-board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to find a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) against the opponent's first summon, then rebuild with a searcher
• Recovery: Searchers (22 copies) and GY-based revival (Goblin Biker Mean Merciless, Lacrima, Goblin Biker Clatter Sploder) rebuild a board after a single disruption
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel runs no sideboard, so the deck has no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher on the first turn: 22 searcher-text copies give about a 0.91 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the 19-copy archetype-core group about 0.86 (Inferred). Its real engines are spread over five sub-archetypes, so the deck converts through interaction and recovery more than through one repeatable combo. Six hand traps, Mystical Space Typhoon, Harpie's Feather Duster and Crossout Designator give it several answers at the end of the opponent's turn, which is where most of its structural score comes from. The Extra Deck ceiling is high, but no recorded boards exist, so combo output is scored only from card text and stays Inferred. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the score was built on the system's consistency, interaction and recovery rather than by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); off-archetype core deviation (-2); searcher and hand-trap density (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-5) = 0.80*58.5 + 0.20*55 - 5 ≈ 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Legal list: 60 main, 15 extra, and every Limited or Semi-Limited card is within its legal copy count (Verified)
• 22 searcher copies give about a 0.91 chance of a searcher in the opening 5 (Inferred)
• Six hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) give interaction on both turns (Verified card text, Inferred frequency)
• Broad end-board interaction: Mystical Space Typhoon, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator and Full-Armored Xyz (Verified card text)

Weaknesses

• Exact-name Goblin purity is 12%; the list spans Fiendsmith, Radiant Typhoon, Phantom Knights, Argostars, Roid, Mulcharmy and Forbidden (Verified composition)
• Engine conflicts: empty-field summon conditions and Mystical Space Typhoon dependence compete within one turn (Inferred)
• 11 of 25 usage-stat core cards are absent (Verified usage stat)
• No combo evidence, so the ceiling and floor cannot be measured (Verified data gap)

Critical choke points

• Single-copy answers and searchers (Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator, Radiant Typhoon Vision, Reinforcement of the Army) each run once, so losing the only copy removes that route (Inferred)
• Starter dependence: any single 3-copy starter is only ≈ 0.23 likely in the opening 5 (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all restricted cards within legal copy counts; Card text and banlist status for all 37 main and 15 extra distinct cards; Usage stat: 11 of 25 core cards absent; Archetype purity 12% exact Goblin
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities: searchers ≈ 0.91, archetype core ≈ 0.86, hand traps going second ≈ 0.48; Engine conflicts across five sub-archetypes; Interaction density and resilience from card text; Extra Deck ATK ceiling from card stats and text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) and tournament reliability inputs
• 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: going-first and going-second splits, matchup results and brick rates are unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Internal inconsistency: usage statistics marks Goblin Biker Big Gabonga, Goblin's Crazy Beast, Moon of the Closed Heaven, Necroquip Princess and others as in this deck false, but the cards list includes them in the Extra Deck; the cards list was used
