Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — trạng thái theo luật lúc đánh giá: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Summon engine into Link/Extra Deck boards với interaction and removal; combo into field control.; Going-second disruption via hand traps and forced board breaks.
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Pendulum Scales (odd/even), Link into GranSolfachord Coolia or end-board negation, float hand traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Herald, Maxx C, PSY-Gamma, Nibiru) into forced Pendulum Summons and board piercing.
• Recovery: Recursion via field spell effects, Mộ searchable các quái thú Pendulum, and hand-trap redundancy.
• After siding: Limited by 0 side deck; cannot adapt post-match. Structural vulnerability in best-of-3.

Why it scores here

This deck is ILLEGAL in Master Duel due to 3 copies of Herald of Orange Light (banlist limit: 1 copy). Structurally, the deck struggles to function: the main Vaylantz engine (16 copies out of 51 total, plus 14 Solfachord splash cards) shows only 32% core card representation versus the archetype standard (8 of 25 core cards present). Consistency P(at least one Vaylantz/Solfachord starter) ≈ 84%, but opening hands routinely conflict (multiple Pendulum starters với no extenders, hand traps clogging slots). The combo output is median-tier: no scored boards exist in evidence, so ceiling and floor are inferred from card text and linearity; expected boards end với 2–3 interaction points (GranSolfachord Coolia negate + 1 Lá bài Phép Môi Trường lockdown). Interruption resilience is weak—only scattered redundant lines exist (Pendulum recycling, but limited independent starters). The deck has zero side deck, permanently locking it out of best-of-3 flexibility and forcing rigid main-deck tech. Going-second is carried by hand-trap density (12 copies), not by engine synergy. Overall, legality violation + structural inconsistency + missing core cards + no side deck + weak median output = subcompetitive foundation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Illegality penalty (-12); Missing side deck (-5); Low core card representation (-3). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) + Illegality modifier(−12) = 40 − 8 = 32. (Meta provisional, side deck missing.)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Pendulum engine redundancy: multiple odd/even scale setups for Pendulum Summon layering。
• Hand-trap density: 12 hand traps (27% of main deck) support strong going-second plays。
• Interaction breadth: 20 cards với negation text, 17 với removal, spread across Pendulum and Link monsters。
• Field spell synergy: Vaylantz World cards unlock conditional Pendulum Summons and create column-based lockdown。
• Extra deck link coverage: 13 Link monsters với diverse utilities (draw, search, removal, negate)。

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL in Master Duel: Herald of Orange Light 3x exceeds copy limit (1); deck cannot be used in official format。
• Low core card count: only 32% of archetype standard (8/25); missing key tutors (Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Knightmare Gryphon)。
• High brick rate: 51-card main với 31 distincts creates conflicting hands; multiple Pendulum starters với no extenders common。
• Weak going-first median output: inferred median board ≈ 2–3 negations; vulnerable to single well-placed interrupt。
• No side deck (0/15): permanently locked into main deck; cannot adapt post-match in best-of-3。
• Pendulum scale conflicts: drawing multiple scale-1 Vaylantz cards với no scale-9 setup clogs hand。
• Choke point: reliance on first Pendulum Summon; if negated, recovery via hand traps only, limited redundant lines。
• Low combo floor: interrupted lines collapse vớiout strong Mộ recursion engine; dependent on specific card combinations。

Critical choke points

• First Pendulum Summon: negating the initial scale setup blocks the entire combo chain; hand-trap dependency increases sharply。
• Herald of Orange Light illegality: the 3x copy violation makes the deck non-compliance immediately; cannot be submitted。
• GranSolfachord Coolia dependency: if this card is not summoned early, board interaction drops to ~1–2 negations。
• Vùng Bài Phép Môi Trường contention: opponent Bài Phép Môi Trường blocks Vaylantz World effects; column-based effects (Konig Wissen, Shinra Bansho) fail if Vùng Bài Phép Môi Trườngs full。
• Zero side deck: best-of-3 format locks player into unfavorable matchups với no post-game adaptation。

• Observed: All 14 dimension_evidence claims rely on card text and inferred Pendulum mechanics; no empirical boards provided in dữ liệu combo。; Archetype purity 24.2% from exact-name Vaylantz cards (16/66 total cards in main+extra)。
• Inferred: Consistency P(at least one Vaylantz/Solfachord starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.84 from hypergeometric model.; Brick rate ~12% estimated from hand redundancy analysis.; Combo ceiling: GranSolfachord Coolia + Bài Phép Môi Trường + 1–2 negations ≈ PowerIndex 58–62。; Combo median: 2–3 negation board, ~PowerIndex 52。; Interruption resilience weak: limited independent lines after first Pendulum Summon negation； Going-first power ~54: starter reliability offset by weak median board and missing extra-deck tutors； Going-second power ~62: hand-trap density carries the profile； Pilotability ~40: multi-step Pendulum sequences với decision points； error tolerance low。
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unknown for Master Duel); Format fit D13: ~35 (Master Duel legal-list compliance, but deck violates banlist; Vaylantz meta-share unknown); Post-side reliability: cannot estimate (zero side deck); structural best-of-3 disadvantage permanent。
