Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo

• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal với warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Triệu hồi Fusion end-board với multiple negations and interaction (Invoked Fusions + Dracotail Fusions); Grind through resource economy and recovery via Dracotail recursion and Mulcharmy draw effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Resolve Magical Meltdown, search Aleister, Triệu hồi Fusion into layered interaction (Mechaba negate, Baybarron search, Oceanus effect lock)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps to interrupt opponent, leverage Super Polymerization for immediate board break, ride Mulcharmy draw into lethal setup
• Recovery: Dracotail cards recycle from Mộ when sent as Fusion material; Invoked-Sword and recursion starters rebuild after disruption
• After siding: No side deck supplied; main deck contains tech flexibility (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Called by the Grave) to adapt post-game-1

Why it scores here

This Invoked/Dracotail hybrid opens reliably into Fusion-based interaction due to high Aleister/Magical Meltdown consistency (P≥1 core starter ≈ 97%), solid Extra Deck coverage, and Dracotail recursion fueling grind. However, the deck runs only 52% of archetype-core (missing Baybarron, Mechaba, Oceanus, and key fusion payoffs), weakens its median board output, and suffers from 1 non-existent side deck and 56-card main (legal but unprofitable). The 1-of Aleister the Invoker and underweight searcher density create median-scenario bricking; going-second coverage is moderate via hand traps and Super Polymerization. Popularity and familiarity did not contribute to the score—only system coherence, consistency measurement, and measured combo output shaped it.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Oversize main deck (56 vs 40–50 optimal) (-1); Missing core Invoked fusions (Mechaba, Baybarron, Oceanus) (-2). Final formula: 0.80Structural(61) + 0.20TournamentReliability(54) + 0 modifiers = 58 (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.85 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High core-engine accessibility: P(≥1 starter) ≈ 97% ensures turn-1 play consistency
• Dracotail recursion and Invocation-Sword recovery create grind resilience; resources recycle from Mộ
• Well-rationalized Extra Deck: 12 Fusions + 3 Links với 11/15 slots actively used
• Flexible interaction suite: Fusion negates, field lock (Oceanus), quick-effect destruction (Gulamel), and board-break techs
• Mulcharmy draw engine (6 copies) provides incremental card advantage when opponent summons
• Hand-trap density (7 copies = 57% opening odds) competitive for going-second disruption

Weaknesses

• Only 52% of archetype core present: missing Baybarron (+search), Mechaba (Spell/Trap negate), Oceanus (field lock), Caliga, Raidjin — key payoffs removed
• 56-card main (legal but unprofitable): increases variance and dilutes per-draw consistency vs 40–50 optimal
• Median board output limited: vớiout Baybarron bounce or Mechaba stable negate, realistic T1 = 1–2 interactions (not 3–4)
• No side deck (0/15): cannot adapt post-game-1; best-of-3 reliability severely compromised
• Offensive ceiling low: no piercing, no OTK line, no direct damage — closing requires multiple-turn grind
• Mulcharmy conditional (requires empty field) makes T1 activation difficult; Fuwalos/Purulia less useful going-first
• One-of Aleister the Invoker creates secondary brick risk despite triple Reminiscent
• Combo floor floor driven by missing searchers: Invocation-Sword only at 2 copies vs meta 3

Critical choke points

• Magical Meltdown negate-protection relies on uninterrupted Fusion; single Ash or Droll can stall the engine mid-resolve
• Dracotail recursion locked to Mộ sends as Fusion material; if recursion targets already discarded, no recovery loop available
• Extra Deck space: 12 Fusions crowd out flexibility; running Baybarron would require cutting another fusion or reducing hand-trap tech
• Going-second: hand-traps + Super Polymerization are the only immediate board-break tools; if both fail to clear, facing multi-negate board is high-risk
• Oversize main (56 cards) means 1–2 extra bricks in hand-5 odds vs optimized 40–48 lists; statistically worsens opening quality

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck legality status: Legal với warning (56-card main, 15 Extra, 0 Side); Copy limits: all Limited/Semi-Limited cards respected (1 copy Magnamhut, Mululu, Ketu Dracotail, Rahu, TTT, TTL; 2 copies Arthalion, Lukias, Droll); Archetype membership: Invoked + Dracotail hybrid với Mulcharmy splash and generic tech; Card text excerpts: all 35 distinct main cards + 13 Extra cards resolved với text frames; Extra Deck breakdown: 12 Fusion (all Invoked or Dracotail lineage) + 3 Link (Magistus, Salamangreat, Invoker of Madness)

• Inferred: D1 Consistency: P(≥1 core starter hand5) = 0.9743 via hypergeometric (28 core copies in 56-card main); opening consistency high but 56-card dilution impact (trade-off verified); D2 Brick estimate: full brick ≈ 3% given core density and starter redundancy; partial brick (dead hand) ≈ 10–12% due to Mulcharmy conditional and Phara/Aiwass synergy dependency; D3/D4 Combo ceiling/median: best line inferred as Magical Meltdown + Aleister → Fusion (2–3 steps), into Baybarron search (missing) or Sorath revival negate; median board ≈ 1.5–2 interactive cards vớiout Mechaba/Baybarron; ceiling ≈ 3 (Sorath negate + Gulamel destruction + Oceanus if summoned); D5 Resilience: Dracotail recursion on Mộ send + Invocation-Sword recycle provides one alternative path; limited to 2 independent routes vớiout Baybarron; D6 Economy: Invocation-Sword Mộ recycle, Aiwass banish-to-add, Mulcharmy draw conditional; net ≈ neutral to +1 mỗi lượt in grind; D7 Interaction quality: Mechaba Quick-Eff negate (missing from this list; would upgrade to 75+), Sorath revive-với-negate (1 copy), Dracotail Gulamel destruction, Oceanus field effect lock; diversity moderate; D8 Going-second: hand-trap P(≥1 in hand6) = 57%; Super Polymerization unblockable board-break; Lightning Storm/Harpie conditional removal; removal density ≈ adequate but not exceptional; D9 Closing power: Fusion boss stats (Aeon 3800, Oceanus 3000, Gulamel 2800, Baybarron 2450) lack piercing; grind-based finish ≈ 3–4 turn clock vớiout OTK line; D10 Efficiency: 56-card main = −2 penalty vs optimal; 33 distinct = redundancy adequate; ratio 18 singles / 7 pairs / 8 threes = mid-tier balance; D11 Extra utility: 11 of 15 slots actively used; 2 Aeon, 2 Arthalion, 1 each Oceanus/Mechaba-proxy/Sorath/Raidjin/Magus/Almiraj/Baybarron-proxy/Gulamel/Secreterion Dragon/Invoker Madness; well-packed but Mechaba/Baybarron/Oceanus redundancy pressure; D13 Format fit: Invoked meta-share ~5–10% OCG (unverified for exact date); deck deviates 48% from published core; matchup performance unknown vớiout dated meta sample; D14 Pilotability: Magical Meltdown + Aleister → Fusion ≈ 3–4 sequential steps; Dracotail recursion requires Mộ-tracking; Mulcharmy conditional logic; error tolerance moderate (missing Mộ send = failed recovery)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null — no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share at ~5–10% OCG context only (Provisional); Tournament reliability: inferred from consistency + deck construction; no per-pilot match records available
• Data gaps: No combo evidence (scored boards, đường combo tốt nhất, chỉ số sức mạnh trung vị, bàn cuối mỗi starter) — combo ceiling/floor inferred from card text only No tournament link — archetype meta-share (5–10%) and per-pilot match record absent; Meta Power remains Provisional 1 unresolved
• **No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN — brick rate, starter frequency, going-first/second match outcomes, matchup win rates not available; all consistency/reliability claims are Inferred from probabilities + text
