Machina Deck #775091 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon R.B. and Sky Striker link monsters (R.B. The Brute Blues, R.B. Shepherd's Crook, Sky Striker Ace links) to build a board that attacks through the opponent's interaction (Inferred from card text); Hand-trap and negate interaction (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Forbidden Droplet) converting the opponent's turn into a board advantage (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Triple Tactics Thrust, Sky Striker Mobilize, Clockwork Night) and Stage Landing or Funk Dock to reach a first Link Summon; hold Ash Blossom and Impermanence for the opponent's response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Impermanence against the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a link board from the GY via R.B. Operation Test (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from GY through R.B. Operation Test, Lambda Cannon and Stage Landing; Sky Striker Ace links re-summon from the GY (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reaches a functional plan through its R.B. and Sky Striker link lines, supported by searchers (Triple Tactics Thrust, Sky Striker Mobilize, Clockwork Night) and a 0.64 probability of at least one archetype-core card in the opening five. Its conversion is credited on the system: the Link Summon engine and its recursion (R.B. Operation Test, Lambda Cannon) carry the board, while the three-copy Ash Blossom, Impermanence and Forbidden Droplet supply layered interaction. The score is not an average of card scores, and popularity or archetype usage did not earn points: the archetype-standard core is largely absent (3 of 16 core cards present) and the Machina archetype name has no exact-name cards. No combos, tournament data or side deck exist, so median output and matchup fit stay low-confidence. The list is over the copy limit on Ash Blossom, so the Final Contextual score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Combo profile; no secondary blend applied to weights. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no Side Deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-10) = about 42; reported as 30 because the deck is over the copy limit (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.36 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered negate suite: Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Forbidden Droplet, R.B. Next Phase, R.B. Last Stand
• Link-heavy Extra Deck with 15 Link monsters across R.B. and Sky Striker lines
• Recursion routes from the GY (R.B. Operation Test, R.B. Lambda Cannon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom is run at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck at all
• Archetype label Machina does not match the cards; few core Machina cards are present
• Multiple Limited and Semi-Limited staples (Droll & Lock Bird, Hornet Drones, Mobilize) need careful copy control

Critical choke points

• Searcher density: at least one searcher is needed to reach a first Link Summon
• Hand-trap dependence on Ash Blossom (3 copies, 2 legal)
• Link Summon sequencing across the Extra Monster Zone

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Illegal); Droll & Lock Bird, Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones (Limited, 1 copy) and Sky Striker Mobilize (Semi-Limited, 2 copies) are within limits; Extra Deck is 15 Link monsters; 0 exact-name Machina cards
• Inferred: At least one archetype-core card in opening hand: 0.64; Negate and hand-trap coverage across 7 hand traps and 15 negate-text cards; Going-first and going-second power estimates from text and probability; Recursion routes from the GY
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated sample or tournament link); Median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
