Infinitrack Deck #792394 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 15 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards led by high-ATK Train and Machina monsters (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket at 5000 ATK, Juggernaut Liebe at 4000, Flying Launcher at 3800, Machina Citadel at 3000) that take over the field after the Infinitrack and Train engine resolves.; Direct damage and board-wipe effects from Gustav Max and Machina Citadel once the engine is online.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Exceptional Schedule, Heavy Forward or Night Train Blue Traveler to search the next engine piece, then build toward a Train or Infinitrack Level 10 board that feeds an Xyz or Link extra-deck monster.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Dominus Purge) to stop the opponent's search or summon, then rebuild a board through Infinitrack Harvester and Night Train.
• Recovery: Recover from the graveyard with Night Train Blue Traveler, Ruffian Railcar and Infinitrack Tunneller, which return Level 10 Machines and Infinitrack monsters to the field.
• After siding: Bring in Jizukiru, Forbidden Crown and Spell Shattering Sword against control or spell-heavy opponents (Inferred; no post-side results supplied).

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searchers (21 copies, about 96% to find at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) make the engine reliably reachable on the first turns, and the 17 copies of the core archetype cards give a 92% chance of at least one core card in the opening hand (Inferred). It has real interaction depth: seven hand traps and ten negation effects in the text let it answer the opponent's first plays. Its closing power is high, with several 3000 to 5000 ATK extra-deck boards and Gustav Max's direct damage. Popularity and archetype share did not add points, and no recorded boards exist to confirm any median or ceiling output. The score is capped low because the list runs three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring where only two are legal, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 61, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers (-12), capped at 40 because the list is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Searcher density gives the engine a high chance to start on turn 1
• Seven hand traps and ten negation effects provide interaction on both turns
• Extra-deck boards reach 3000 to 5000 ATK with direct-damage follow-up

Weaknesses

• Three copies of Ash Blossom exceed the OCG limit, so the list is illegal as built
• Only 21.7% of main and extra copies share the exact archetype name, so the engines compete for space
• Dominus Purge has no Dominus support beyond its own copies

Critical choke points

• Turn-1 search depends on a small set of searchers (Exceptional Schedule, Heavy Forward, Night Train), so disrupting them stalls the engine
• Machina and Train pieces need their own Level 10 monsters, and a few one-copy cards are critical

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the OCG copy limit (3 run, 2 legal); Main 45, Extra 15, Side 15 are within the format size rules; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype spread counts and the 21.7% exact-name purity
• Inferred: Searcher and core-archetype opening-hand probabilities; Ceiling and floor read from card text only; Interaction depth from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data); Post-side plan quality (no post-side results)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards supplied, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage data marks Gustav Rocket, River Stormer and Qliphort Genius as not in this deck, but the card list includes them; the inconsistency is unresolved and affects the archetype-standard comparison
