Infernoid Deck #774990 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Shaddoll boss monsters (El Shaddoll Shekhinaga, Meshahrail, Apkallone, Winda) from the Extra Deck and attack through a board cleared by Shaddoll flip removal; Shaddoll flip-effect monsters (Squamata, Dragon, Beast) grind the opponent's board and recurse Shaddoll cards from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Fusion spells (Lev Shaddoll Fusion, Shaddoll Fusion, El Shaddoll Fusion, Fusion Deployment) with Shaddoll monsters, Fusion Summon a boss, and protect the line with Ash Blossom and Solemn Judgment
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Tearlaments Havnis) and Shaddoll Squamata/Dragon removal to break the opponent's board, then Fusion Summon a boss from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Shaddoll GY effects (Hedgehog, Wendi, Naelshaddoll Ariel, Resh) special summon or add Shaddoll cards from the Deck and GY after removal, plus Void Unleashing as a searcher
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against an OCG limit of 2, so under the rubric it is scored as a theoretical/structural read only and capped low. The structure is a Shaddoll Fusion engine with about 25 Shaddoll-named copies, 5 Fusion spells and 12 Extra Deck Fusion Monsters, backed by Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment, Harpie's Feather Duster and Lightning Storm for interaction. Opening access is the weak point: each 3-copy starter has only about a 25% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and the 21 level-0 spells and off-archetype cards (Mulcharmy, Void, Tearlaments, Cyclone, Harpie) add brick risk and dilute the engine. There is no recorded combo data, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and the deck has no Side Deck. Archetype popularity and the Infernoid label earned no points: the deck runs none of the Infernoid core cards and only one Infernoid-named card, and the score was built from the system, not by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 45, then Illegal modifier -12 = 33 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Shaddoll engine has multiple Fusion spells and boss options, so the deck is not reliant on one Extra Deck card
• Layered interaction: hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Shaddoll flip removal
• Shaddoll GY recursion gives card economy after the opponent's removal or negation

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom is run 3 times against an OCG limit of 2
• Mixed build: 1.5% exact-archetype purity and 66 off-archetype copies from Mulcharmy, Void, Tearlaments, Cyclone and Harpie
• No Side Deck despite 15 side slots being allowed
• Low per-copy starter access with many level-0 and situational cards

Critical choke points

• The Shaddoll Fusion spells (Shaddoll Fusion, Lev Shaddoll Fusion, El Shaddoll Fusion) and Shaddoll monsters in hand: losing these to a hand trap or a single Solemn Judgment can leave the deck without a Fusion route
• Ash Blossom copy count: the list must drop to 2 copies to be legal
