Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon chains that end in Accesscode Talker or Saryuja Skull Dread for large attacks, if the chain can start at all; Direct damage and Sky Striker tokens with Secret Pass to the Treasures and Hayate
• Turn 1 (going first): Draw and search with Cup of Ace, Upstart Goblin and Toon Table of Contents, then hope for Couple of Aces or the Hornet Drones token to supply a monster for a first Link Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Couple of Aces or the Hornet Drones token as the first monster body, then Link Summon into Accesscode Talker or Azalea to answer the opponent's board
• Recovery: Recover from the graveyard with Toon Bookmark, Sky Striker Ace Zero and Linkuriboh, but each of these also needs a monster on the field first
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck and the list runs zero side cards

Why it scores here

The deck is 37 spells and only 3 monsters in its 40-card Main Deck, so most hands cannot start the Link engine: the estimated chance of at least one monster in a going-first opening hand is about 34%, and about 66% of going-first openers contain no monster at all. Nine cards search or draw, which keeps the deck from bricking on spells alone and gives it real card economy, but the search cards mostly fetch Toon or Sky Striker cards whose monster payoffs are not in the Main Deck. The Extra Deck is strong on paper (Accesscode Talker, Saryuja Skull Dread, Sky Striker Ace links), yet the Sky Striker Ace links need other Sky Striker Ace monsters to start and the Knightmare, Infernoid and Noble Knight pieces have no supporting monsters in the list, so the score reflects the system as a whole rather than the individual card strengths. Popularity of the Code Talker name does not earn points: only Accesscode Talker is an exact Code Talker card, so the list is a mixed Sky Striker, Toon and Knightmare build under a Code Talker label. Floor and ceiling could not be separated from recorded boards because none exist, so the ceiling figures are text-based inference and the score carries a Low confidence band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 40.5, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 33, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Monster-starved Main Deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*40.5 + 0.20*38 - 3 = 37

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.66 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Nine searcher effects and several draw spells keep the hand from running out of cards
• Accesscode Talker and Saryuja Skull Dread are strong Link cards with real attack once summoned
• Legal in Master Duel with all three Limited cards at one copy each

Weaknesses

• Only 3 Main Deck monsters for a deck with 15 Extra Deck Link and Fusion monsters
• Six Sky Striker Ace links and several Knightmare, Infernoid and Noble Knight cards need archetype monsters the Main Deck does not supply
• Toon World and Toon Table of Contents have no Toon monsters to find or support
• Thin interaction and no hand traps

Critical choke points

• Couple of Aces, Dogmatika Lawbringer, Royal Magical Library and the Hornet Drones token are the only monster bodies for Link Summons
• A hand without a monster ends the turn with no Link Summon at all

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel with 40 Main and 15 Extra cards and no violations; Limited cards Foolish Burial Goods, Instant Fusion and Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones each run at one legal copy; Card texts and stats for the listed Main and Extra cards, including search, draw and Link effects
• Inferred: Monster-starter probabilities of about 0.34 for a going-first 5-card hand and about 0.66 for no monster at all; Brick rate and the closed loop of Sky Striker Ace links needing Sky Striker Ace monsters to start; Ceiling and interaction quality judged from card text, since no recorded boards exist
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13), with no tournament or meta-share 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 are absent Usage-statistic core check reports 0 of 25 core cards present even though Accesscode Talker and Knightmare Unicorn are in the list, so the core comparison is unreliable No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck created timestamp (2026-11-12) is later than the evaluation date (2026-11-11); used only as recency context Deck has no title, so the deck name is null
