Deck Infernity #485151 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 42/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — trạng thái theo luật lúc đánh giá: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Infernity combo into board of negations and removal effects; Fiendsmith Fusion-line với Horus support for grind-game advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Infernity Launcher or Archfiend to establish hand-dump combo into Infernity Barrier + negation board (Borreload Savage Dragon, Baronne de Fleur)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt opponent, then use Infernity recursion and Fiendsmith removal to clear board and set up own plays
• Recovery: Infernity Necromancer and Sage mill effects recover resources from Mộ when hand is empty; Fiendsmith Engraver + Tract loop adds resilience
• After siding: No side deck available (Master Duel); theoretical post-side would rely on main-deck flexibility

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in Master Duel format—it runs 2 copies of Called by the Grave (1 legal) and 1 forbidden Apollousa—so the score reflects structural potential only, not tournament viability. The Infernity core (P≥1 core starter ≈ 0.995) opens reliably, but combo floor is modest (median board around 2–3 negations + recursion) and ceiling is modest (3–4 interaction pieces). The Fiendsmith engine adds grind capacity and board-breaker resilience, but the dual-archetype split introduces brick risk. Hand traps are strong (Ash, Maxx C, Impermanence) but the 40-card main lacks post-side adaptation, and the deck depends on resolving Infernity Barrier's empty-hand condition—a brittle mid-turn constraint after disruption. Without combo examples, the median output is inferred from card text and engine overlap; the Extra Deck is efficiently packed but Apollousa's illegality removes 1 key negate layer.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Illegal deck penalty (-21); No side deck in Master Duel (-3); Dual-archetype brick risk (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: capped at 42 due to banlist violations. Structural 63 would apply if legal; final contextual reduced by 33% penalty for 2 restricted-card violations (Called by the Grave over limit + Apollousa forbidden). No dated metagame supplied; Meta Provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.72 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Infernity core is highly consistent (P≥1 core ≈ 0.995)
• Dual-engine approach (Infernity + Fiendsmith) provides route redundancy and grind capacity
• Strong hand-trap lineup (3x Ash, 3x Impermanence, 1x Maxx C) for disruption and going-second defense
• Recursive Mộ engines (Infernity Necromancer, Sage) enable recovery after disruption
• Extra Deck coverage includes multi-layer interaction (Borreload Savage Dragon, Baronne de Fleur, Fiendsmith Desirae)

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL in Master Duel format: runs 2x Called by the Grave (limit 1) and 1x forbidden Apollousa
• Empty-hand constraint (Infernity Launcher, Barrier, Necromancer effects) creates brittle mid-turn choke point
• Dual-archetype split dilutes Main Deck synergy (archetype purity 23.6%); conflicting Triệu hồi bình thườngs (Archfiend, Engraver) increase brick risk
• Modest combo ceiling (inferred 3–4 interactions) and modest median output relative to combo-deck peer archetypes
• Limited going-second play outside hand-trap interaction; no OTK or board-breaker access for aggressive G2 lines
• No side deck in Master Duel removes post-side adaptability
• Missing core Extra Deck cards (S:P Little Knight, Fiendsmith's Requiem, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar, Fiendsmith's Sequence) reduce coverage

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (2 copy violations, 1 forbidden card); Main Deck composition: 40 cards, 22 distinct cards; Extra Deck composition: 15 cards, 15 distinct cards (8 Links, 2 Synchros, 2 Fusions, 3 Xyz); Copy histogram: 5 copies at 3x, 8 copies at 2x, 9 copies at 1x; Archetype core: 13 exact-name Infernity, 9 Fiendsmith, 6 Horus; archetype purity 23.6%; Usage stats: 13 of 20 core cards present (65%); missing 7 100%-inclusion cards
• Observed: Hand-trap coverage: 7 copies across 3 distinct cards (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C); Searcher density: 10 distinct searcher effects (Infernity Archfiend, Fiendsmith Engraver, Fiendsmith's Tract, Imsety, etc.); Interaction piece count: 12 cards với negation or removal text (Infernity Barrier, Borreload, Baronne, etc.)
• Inferred: Engine consistency: P(≥1 starter in 5) ≈ 0.9954 (hypergeometric); archetype core 25 cards với 3-of density; Brick estimate: ~0.8% (conflicting Triệu hồi bình thườngs + tuner clots); typical opener is at least one live starter + 1–2 hand traps; Combo ceiling: 3–4 interaction pieces on T1 board (Infernity Barrier + Borreload Savage Dragon + Baronne de Fleur + optional removal); Combo floor/median: 2–3 interactions; no parsed combo logs, estimate from card text and engine structure; Going-second power: Strong hand-trap layer but limited aggressive board-break; moderate closure on attrition; Recovery resilience: Infernity Necromancer + Sage mills enable Mộ recovery, but empty-hand constraint is 1 brittle choke point; Main Deck efficiency: 40 cards, 61/100 (compact, but dual-archetype split dilutes purity and increases conflict risk)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample); archetype meta-share and per-pilot match data absent; Format fit: Infernity is supported in Master Duel, but deck is illegal; no context for hypothetical legal variant's performance; Tournament reliability: Cannot be fielded in Master Duel ranked due to banlist violations; structural assumptions remain untested
• Data gaps: No combo boards or examples provided; combo floor, median, ceiling inferred from card text only No tournament link or match record; archetype meta-share and per-pilot performance data absent No YGOVN win-rate telemetry (brick rate, starter consistency on ladder, going-first/second split, matchup outcomes) No dated metagame sample; Meta Power must remain provisional Master Duel has no side deck; D12 score is 0 by format rule, not deck design
