Exosister Deck #773904 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon Exosister Magnifica, Karmael, Mikailis or Tiras from the Extra Deck and convert the board with 2800/2600/2500 ATK bosses plus Magnifica's second attack.; Exosister Gibrine and Asophiel as end-boards that protect the engine and keep pressure through GY-targeting effects.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elis, Martha, Stella, Sophia, Irene or Pax) and Normal/Special Summon into a Level 4 Exosister Xyz base; keep one hand trap (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre) for the opponent's first interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to hold 1-2 hand traps against the opponent's first Special Summon or GY-moving play, then rebuild the Exosister Xyz board through Betrayal or Pax.
• Recovery: Recover through Exosister Betrayal and Irene (hand/deck searches and Exosister recycling), with Elis and Stella re-summoning from hand; Xyz materials recycled from the GY via Exosister effects.
• After siding: No Side Deck in this format (side count 0); no post-side plan exists, so this dimension is scored on structure only.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Exosister engine reliably: eight Exosister starters at 3 copies (Elis, Martha, Pax, Betrayal) plus Stella, Sophia and Irene give a combined P(at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand) well above 0.9 (Inferred, from the archetype-core hypergeometric figure of 0.9993 for 29 core copies). It converts into pressure through a 13-Xyz Extra Deck whose end-boards (Magnifica 2800, Tiras 2600, Karmael 2600, Mikailis 2500) close games, and it survives disruption through 11 hand traps and multiple independent Xyz routes. Score is driven by consistency, redundancy of starters, and end-board interaction on the system; it is not an average of individual card scores, and the Exosister archetype's popularity and usage-statistic presence did not earn points by themselves. Lowered by an off-archetype splash that depends on Fallen of Albaz, which is absent from the list, and by the lack of any measured combo or win-rate data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weighting applied (Stun profile held as context only). Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Off-archetype splash dilution (-2); Fallen of Albaz absent (-1); No post-side plan (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*62 + 0.20*60 = 61.6, then context modifiers -4 gives 57.6, rounded to 58

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Eight Exosister starters at 3 copies each, giving very high opening access (Inferred)
• Multiple Xyz end-boards (Magnifica, Karmael, Tiras, Mikailis) with strong ATK (Verified stats)
• 11 hand traps providing layered interaction on both turns (Verified text flags, Inferred use)

Weaknesses

• Fallen of Albaz is absent, so Albion the Branded Dragon is unsummonable and Ecclesia and Fallen & The Virtuous are partly dead (Verified text, Inferred impact)
• TY-PHON - Sky Crisis needs two Level 12 monsters, none of which are in the deck (Verified text, Inferred usability)
• High Lp-cost (Pax 800 LP) and Irene/Sophia/Stella LP gains require careful LP management (Verified text)

Critical choke points

• Exosister starter in hand on turn 1 or 2 (Elis, Martha, Stella, Sophia, Irene or Pax)
• Xyz material from the Level 4 Exosister base for Magnifica, Karmael and Mikailis

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side within master-duel size rules; Maxx C (1 copy, Limited) and Fallen & The Virtuous (2 copies, Semi-Limited) within legal copy limits; Card stats and text for all 35 distinct cards listed in the evidence; Hand-trap count 11 and searcher/negation text counts from role flags
• Observed: Archetype core inclusion rates for Elis, Martha, Pax, Ash Blossom and Betrayal at 100% (usage stats)
• Inferred: P(>=1 starter in a 5-card opening hand) very high from archetype-core hypergeometric 0.9993; Going-second hand-trap coverage ~0.88 for 6-card hand; Dead/partial status of Albion, Ecclesia and Fallen & The Virtuous due to absent Fallen of Albaz; Dimensions D3-D7 and D9 derived from text rather than recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) and tournament reliability (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck in format)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo ceiling, median and floor are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics mark Karmael, Gibrine, Asophiel and TY-PHON as in_this_deck:false, but the card list includes them (Karmael 2, Gibrine 1, Asophiel 1, TY-PHON 1); the card list was treated as authoritative Fallen of Albaz is referenced by Albion, Ecclesia and Fallen & The Virtuous but is absent from the list Deck title is null in the export
