@Ignister Deck #792837 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Link
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-ladder boards that Special Summon Cyberse monsters from the Extra Deck, ending in high-ATK Links such as Firewall Dragon Singularity, Gussari @Ignister and Cyberse Quantum Dragon; Maliss Link Monsters (White Binder, Chessy Cat support) that banish and revive themselves for repeated pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Cynet Mining, Backup @Ignister) plus a Cyberse starter such as Maliss March Hare, Wizard @Ignister or Mathmech Circular, then link up to convert into a Link 2-3 board and begin Link-ladder summons
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold one or more hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Maxx C) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Link ladder
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY and banished zone with Maliss banish-to-add effects, Cynet Ritual and the Cyberse searchers, since the Link monsters keep the deck supplied with monsters
• After siding: Not defined: the list runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as one connected Cyberse system: a searcher layer (14 searcher-text cards, roughly 90% chance of at least one in an opening hand) feeds Link monsters that ladder into Extra Deck summons, and the seven hand traps plus Maliss interaction give it a real plan on both going first and going second. Its ceiling comes from Link 4-6 boards with 2500-3500 ATK, but the recorded-board evidence is absent, so the median and floor are estimated from the card text alone and held well below the ceiling. The Ignister, Maliss and Mathmech subsets only partly overlap, and the many conditional starters (March Hare, Wizard, Backup and Circular all need a Cyberse already on the field) leave a meaningful brick rate, which pulls consistency down. The deck earns no points for archetype popularity or usage: the list shares only 3 of the 25 archetype-standard core cards, and the zero-card Side Deck caps adaptability. Scores are not averages of the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 46. Modifiers: Unrecoverable choke point (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Engine spread across sub-archetypes (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 negation package: seven hand traps and Maliss negation cards cover both going-first and going-second turns
• Searcher density (14 cards, ≈0.90 chance of one in an opening hand) keeps the engine finding its starters
• Link-ladder Extra Deck (12 Link monsters) gives a high ATK ceiling and multiple paths to pressure

Weaknesses

• Conditional starters: most Ignister and Mathmech starters require a Cyberse already in play, so openings without a first Extra Deck summon stall
• No Side Deck, so the list cannot adapt across best-of-3 matches
• Only 3 of the 25 archetype-standard core cards are present, so the list is off the usual build

Critical choke points

• The first Extra Deck Link Summon: nearly every line depends on one Link monster landing before the rest of the plan can start
• Maliss Link monsters: White Binder and Chessy Cat are the main protection and recursion, and both are single-copy Limited cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are legal Master Duel sizes; Limited copy limits are respected (single copies of the five Limited cards); Card text and stats match the resolved list; Extra Deck is 12 Link, 1 Xyz, 1 Synchro, 1 Fusion
• Inferred: Starter consistency from hypergeometric draw estimates; Brick rate from conditional starter text; Interaction quality from negation and hand-trap text; Ceiling from Link ATK values and card text
• Provisional: Median output, since no recorded boards exist; Matchup and format fit, since no tournament or dated meta sample exists; Meta Power is null
• Data gaps: no recorded boards — combo floor, median and ceiling are estimated from card text only no tournament link — meta share and pilot results absent no win-rate telemetry — going-first, going-second and matchup results are unknown Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied
