Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Maliss, Ignister, Ars Magna and Power Patron link boards built from the Extra Deck, with no single dominant route; Bystial and Firewall Dragon beatdown once a Link board is established
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open on Backup @Ignister, Ars Magna and Mulcharmy draw effects, then hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre) for the first opposing interaction; the link line is unreliable on T1 (about 25% for any single 3-copy starter in a 5-card hand)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to interrupt the opponent's first summon or search with hand traps (about 82% to hold at least one), then pivot into a Maliss or Ignister link summon
  • Recovery: Recursion through Maliss GY/banish effects, Ghost Belle GY recovery and Ars Magna banish-from-hand searches; depends on the Maliss banish pool not being exhausted
  • After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck can usually open an interaction-first hand: 13 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards give it a strong going-second answer density, and that is the main reason the system earns points on dimensions D7 and D8. Its engine access is thin, though: each 3-copy starter has only about a 25% chance of appearing in a going-first 5-card hand, and the 10-card archetype core is open at least once in about 65% of hands. The deck is spread across five archetype families (Maliss, Ignister, Ars Magna, Mulcharmy, Bystial) with a 1.4% exact-name purity, so the score reflects a toolbox of separate engines rather than one coherent combo, and the points are not an average of individual card strength. No recorded boards, tournament link, or win-rate data exist, so the combo ceiling and floor are text-only inferences and the meta fit is provisional. The deck is also illegal in OCG (Maliss in Underground over its copy limit and a Forbidden Link Decoder), so its score is capped at 30 and is structural-only.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 45 P(at least one 3-copy starter in a 5-card going-first hand) about 0.25; archetype core open in about 0.65 of hands (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 40 22 singleton and 12 multi-copy main-deck slots; many hand traps and conditional Maliss traps dead without a Maliss monster on board (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 45 Ceiling from Ars Magna banish-searches into Power Patron Mediclius and Maliss Link boards; no recorded boards to confirm (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 40 No recorded combos, so median and floor cannot be measured; text-only estimate (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Multiple independent interaction and recursion routes (Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Belle GY recovery) (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 45 Maliss banish costs and Gold Sarcophagus card flow are heavy; Ars Magna banish-from-hand searches recover resources (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 70 13 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards and 30 removal-text cards in the main deck; several Limited and Semi-Limited answers (Verified flags, Inferred semantics)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 65 Going-second hand-trap group holds at least one of 13 hand traps in about 0.82 of 6-card hands (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Link ATK values up to 3000 (Mediclius) and 2500 (Firewall Dragon, Bystial, Maliss Hearts Crypter) show closing potential, with no end-board sample (Verified stats, Inferred use)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 55 main-deck cards across 34 distinct cards and 17 archetype sub-names; compactness is low (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 15 Extra Deck slots, 14 Link and 1 Fusion, spread across at least 5 Link engines with no shared shell (Verified composition, Inferred use)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 5 Side deck is empty (0 of 15 slots used), so no post-side adaptability exists (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No dated metagame or tournament data; format fit is neutral and provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 30 Multi-archetype engine choices and Link material decisions on every turn; high decision load (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Midrange secondary (no dated meta; D13 kept, weights as listed). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4); hard-garnet burden (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*47 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 32.6; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only score)

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

  • Dense interaction: 13 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards, 30 removal-text cards
  • Multiple independent answers to the opponent's first summon or search
  • Several Link threats at 2500 to 3000 ATK in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

  • Starter access is low: about 25% per 3-copy starter in a going-first hand
  • Five archetype families with 1.4% exact-name purity, so engines conflict
  • No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
  • Illegal in OCG: Maliss in Underground over copy limit and Forbidden Link Decoder

Critical choke points

  • Backup @Ignister and Ars Magna (the only 3-copy starters) gate most going-first lines
  • Maliss banished-card pool for every Maliss Link summon
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Link Decoder (Forbidden, 1 copy) one OCG-legal card that continues an existing Link engine in the deck Removing a Forbidden card is required to make the list legal; the replacement should support the Maliss or Ignister line, not add a new engine
2 one copy of Maliss in Underground (3 to 2) one card from the same Maliss or Ignister engine that is not Semi-Limited Copy limit fix; keeps the Maliss package intact while removing the second violation
3 one off-archetype tech card one additional side-deck card The side deck is empty; a 5 to 10 card side would give post-side adaptability (D12)

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal status: Maliss in Underground 3 vs 2 legal copies; Link Decoder 1 vs 0 (Forbidden); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules; Hand-trap, negation and removal text counts from composition
  • Inferred: Starter hand odds from hypergeometric draw table; Hand-trap interaction density and its effect on D7 and D8; Strategy classification as Toolbox with Midrange secondary
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
  • Data gaps: no combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample deck is Illegal, so the score is structural-only and capped
