Invoked Deck #777549 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion boss (Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Caliga, Invoked Mechaba, Invoked Magistus Omega) Fusion Summoned through Aleister-based material chains, closing with 2800-3800 ATK monsters.; Recursion of Invocation and Aleister monsters from the GY and banish into repeat Fusion Summons.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Aleister monsters with Aiwass / Aleister the Reminiscent and Invocation, fuse into an Invoked boss while holding hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler) for the opponent's first response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Maxx "C") to break the opponent's board, then rebuild with Fusion Summons from the Extra Deck.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Invocation's GY effect and Ghost Belle's GY recovery, then re-Fusion using Aleister monsters banished or sent earlier.
• After siding: No side deck is run (side_count 0); no post-side plan exists in this format setup.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan through its searchers (16 searcher-text copies, P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) about 0.94), but the Aleister monster bootstrap is less certain: the 6 Aleister Reminiscent / Invoker copies give roughly 0.58 for at least one in the opening 5 (hypergeometric, Inferred), so the engine is live on turn one in only a bit more than half of hands. Its strongest feature is interaction on the system: 10 hand-trap copies plus Forbidden Crown, Virakam, Mechaba and Baronne de Fleur give layered negation that protects the Fusion line, which is why D7 scores highest. Conversion is credible on paper (Aeon at 3800 ATK, Caliga and Mechaba), but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and the median are both text-only inference and are scored separately, with the median held well below the ceiling. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage statistics only confirm the core list is real and accessible, and the Invoked archetype's reputation was not used as evidence. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the deck itself, not from averaging its card scores, and the lack of a side deck and a heavy Extra Deck burden hold it back.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63.9, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Engine dependence on Extra Deck and Aleister monsters (-1); No side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 63.9, TR 58, modifiers -2 => 60.7, rounded to 61

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and negation suite (10 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards) protects the Fusion line.
• Dense searcher count (16 copies) gives a high chance of a searcher in the opening hand.
• Extra Deck carries multiple high-ATK boss options (Aeon 3800, Caliga, Mechaba, Magistus Omega) for closing.

Weaknesses

• Aleister monster bootstrap is below two-in-three in the opening hand, so the engine is not reliably live on turn one.
• No side deck and no post-side plan.
• Heavy Extra Deck usage (15 slots, 10 Fusion) lowers flexibility after disruption.

Critical choke points

• Aleister the Reminiscent / Invoker in hand or field: nearly every Fusion route passes through an Aleister monster.
• Extra Deck access: the boss Fusion Monsters need specific material chains.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in BanMasterDuel: Maxx "C" and Crossout Designator at 1 copy (Limited), Droll & Lock Bird and Super Polymerization at 2 copies (Semi-Limited).; Card text and ATK/DEF values for every listed card.; Deck composition: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; 10 Fusion, 4 Link, 1 Synchro in Extra.
• Observed: Usage statistics: 28 archetype rows, core present 12 of 25 (48%).
• Inferred: Aleister bootstrap about 0.58 in the opening 5 (hypergeometric).; Hand-trap coverage: P(>=1 hand trap in 6 going second) 0.85.; Engine conflicts and brick risk from card text and composition.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample.; Tournament reliability relies on no tournament data.
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured
