Code Talker Deck #792860 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link, Fusion and Xyz beaters at 2800 ATK (Saryuja Skull Dread, Naturia Exterio, Cyber Twin Dragon) and Accesscode Talker pressure, when their materials happen to be present; Accesscode Talker boosted by a linked Link Monster, with the Extra Deck negation pieces protecting the board
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Sky Striker Mobilize, Toon Table of Contents or Reasoning toward a Link or Fusion board, using Card Scanner and Upstart Goblin to find the missing piece
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit to destroy a key card, then rebuild through Brilliant Fusion or Fusion Armament and Extra Deck negation
• Recovery: Recover from the graveyard with Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite and Performage Trick Clown, and revive Fairy Tail - Snow once 7 cards are banished
• After siding: None: the deck registers no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

As built this list is illegal in Master Duel because it runs one Forbidden Cyber-Stein, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped low and not a normal final rating. The deck does not form a Code Talker engine: only one card (Accesscode Talker) carries the archetype name, and the remaining cards are scattered across Sky Striker, Toon, Knightmare, Naturia, Gem-Knight and other archetypes, so the starters and payoffs rarely connect. Thirty-one of forty main cards are Spells, and several (Top Share, Card of Fate, Sandwich Day) do little on their own, so opening hands are likely to be dead or conflicting. Draw effects and a few recursion lines give some resource flow and second chances, and the Extra Deck negation effects add some interaction, but the large 2800 ATK bosses depend on materials that are often absent. Guide popularity and archetype familiarity earned no points, and the score was built from the system as a whole rather than by averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 39, Going First ≈ 36, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Illegal list, so theoretical structural read only)

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

• Draw and search effects give steady card flow
• Several recursion and revival effects give second lines after a clear
• Extra Deck negation effects protect the board from Spell activations

Weaknesses

• Only one Code Talker card, so the archetype's own engine is missing
• Thirty-one Spells with several low-impact cards raise brick risk
• Illegal as built because of the Forbidden Cyber-Stein
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation between games

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Mobilize and Toon Table of Contents need Sky Striker and Toon targets that the deck barely runs
• Accesscode Talker is the only Code Talker card, so the archetype engine has no core
• Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit is the only hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Cyber-Stein is Forbidden in Master Duel and the deck runs one copy, so the list is illegal; Main Deck has 40 cards and Extra Deck has 15, within the Master Duel size rules; The deck has no Side Deck; Only one Code Talker card is in the list (exact-name purity 1.8%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency for the searchers and starters, from hypergeometric estimates; The engine does not connect across archetypes, from card text; Interaction quality from the hand trap and Extra Deck negation text
• Provisional: Median output, since there are no recorded boards; Format fit and meta position, since no tournament or meta-share data is available
• Data gaps: No recorded boards, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no title, so the name is taken from the archetype only
