Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Chimera Fusion chains into Fusion Summons (Chimera the Illusion Beast, Berfomet the Mythical King of Phantom Beasts, Dark Magician of Destruction, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon) for multi-attack or high-ATK boards; Radian, the Multidimensional Kaiju (2800 ATK) and Imsety, Glory of Horus (3000 ATK) as board-presence beaters once the engine is live
- Turn 1 (going first): Opening hand with Gazelle, Big-Winged Berfomet, Nightmare Apprentice or Vision Resonator searches Chimera Fusion, then Fusion Summon a Chimera monster from the Extra Deck
- Turn 2 (going second): Use D.D. Crow or Effect Veiler to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Chimera Fusion recursion and Cornfield Coatl searches
- Recovery: Chimera Fusion returns from the GY under its own condition, and Gazelle, Cornfield Coatl and Berfomet each add a Chimera Fusion or Illusion/Beast/Fiend monster from the Deck
- After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck in this export (0 side cards)
Why it scores here
The deck reliably reaches a live engine: Chimera Fusion (3 copies) is the centre, and the searcher text group (15 cards) gives a 0.98 chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5-card hand, so the engine is accessible on most starts (Inferred). Conversion is strong on paper, with several Extra Deck Fusion monsters that have high ATK or multi-attack text, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based estimates and the median is scored conservatively. Interaction is layered (3 hand traps, negation and removal text, Nightmare Magician, Fiendish Golem), which supports the going-second case without any post-side plan. Score deductions come from dead or conflicting cards (Farfa conflicts with a board of non-Burning-Abyss monsters; Crimson Gaia and Vision Resonator target Red Dragon Archfiend cards that are not in the list) and from the absence of a tournament link or meta sample. Popularity and archetype usage were not rewarded, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 72 | Chimera Fusion x3 gives P(at least 1 in opening 5) 0.43; searcher-text group P(at least 1) 0.98 via Gazelle, Berfomet, Cornfield Coatl and Nightmare Apprentice (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 60 | Copy histogram 9 singles, 6 pairs, 3 triples; conditional or dead cards: Farfa (destroys itself while you control a non-Burning-Abyss monster), Crimson Gaia and Vision Resonator (Red Dragon Archfiend targets absent) (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 62 | No parseable boards; ceiling read from Chimera Fusion chains into Chimera the Illusion Beast, Berfomet MKoPB and Dark Magician of Destruction, with Radian and Gazelle as starters (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 48 | median_power_index unavailable and no recorded boards to build a distribution; scored conservatively (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 62 | Chimera Fusion GY recursion plus multiple searchers give independent restart lines; no measured interruption data (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 66 | 15 searcher-text cards and GY-based recursion (Chimera Fusion, Cornfield Coatl) support rebuilds; no resource signature data (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 66 | 3 hand traps (D.D. Crow x2, Effect Veiler x1), 6 negation-text and 14 removal-text cards, Nightmare Magician control and removal text (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Hand traps give P(at least 1 in going-second 6-card hand) 0.50; no going-first/second win-rate split exists (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 70 | Extra Deck closers: Chimera the Illusion Beast 3100 ATK x2 with multi-attack text, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon 3000 ATK, DMoD 2800 ATK, Berfomet MKoPB 2400 ATK (Verified stats, Inferred pressure) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 62 | 30 Main, 18 distinct, 9 singles, 15.4 percent exact-name archetype purity with 19 generic copies; compact but with several off-plan tech cards (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 66 | All 9 Extra slots used: 7 Fusion and 2 Link; Chimera Fusions need Beast, Fiend or Illusion materials that the Main Deck supplies (Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 50 | No side deck (0 cards) and Duel Links has no post-game sideboard, so no post-side plan is scored; neutral score (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 55 | No tournament link; the attached guide says Chimera has cooled from an earlier meta peak; archetype meta share unavailable (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 58 | Multi-step fusion sequencing with conditional summons (Vision Resonator, Mirror Swordknight, Chimera Fusion) and several target-dependent effects; moderate decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Single-copy Extra Deck engine (Chimera the King of Phantom Beasts) (-1). Final formula: No reliable metagame: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*62.6 + 0.20*60 - 1 = 61.1, rounded to 61
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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
- Engine accessibility is high because of 15 searcher-text cards and 3 copies of Chimera Fusion
- Layered interaction: 3 hand traps, negation and removal text, and Nightmare Magician
- Extra Deck closers have high ATK or multi-attack text
Weaknesses
- Farfa conflicts with the deck's own non-Burning-Abyss monsters and can destroy itself
- Crimson Gaia and Vision Resonator target Red Dragon Archfiend cards that are not in the list
- No recorded combos, so the floor and median are unmeasured
- Usage-stat core-present count (17/24) disagrees with the card list (22/24 by name); see data gaps
Critical choke points
- Chimera Fusion (3 copies) is the single engine card; without it the Fusion chain does not start
- Chimera the King of Phantom Beasts is a single copy in the Extra Deck
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss | Third copy of Gazelle the King of Mythical Claws | Farfa's text destroys it while you control a non-Burning-Abyss monster, which most of this list is; Gazelle is a Chimera-compatible searcher for Chimera Fusion and is below its 3-copy limit |
| 2 | Crimson Gaia | Chimera-compatible Spell or searcher, or a second Cornfield Coatl | Crimson Gaia searches Red Dragon Archfiend cards, and the list runs none of them, so it is a dead card in most hands |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal in duel-links: 30 Main (range 20-30), 9 Extra (range 0-9), 0 Side; all cards Unlimited; Card stats and text excerpts as supplied in evidence; Usage statistics: Chimera core cards at 100 percent and 67-83 percent inclusion
- Observed: No observed combo boards are present in the evidence; nothing is observed beyond card and usage data
- Inferred: Engine accessibility from hypergeometric draw odds and searcher counts; Interaction density from role tags and text; Ceiling from fusion text and Extra Deck stats; Dead-card read for Farfa, Crimson Gaia and Vision Resonator from card text
- Provisional: Median and floor scores (no combos); Format fit and meta share (no tournament link); Side-deck score (no side deck in Duel Links)
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second split and matchup data unavailable Usage-statistics inconsistency: missing_core lists Chimera the Illusion Beast, Berfomet MKoPB, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Dark Magician of Destruction and Chimera the King of Phantom Beasts as in_this_deck false, yet the card list runs them in the Extra Deck; core_cards_present (17/24) is therefore undercounted (22/24 by name) Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample supplied
