Fabled Deck #433602 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• 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: Generate a swarm of Fabled monsters via discard‑to‑search and special‑summon loops, then push with their combined ATK.; Utilize Fiendsmith and Dark World removal/discard effects to clear opponent board and finish with high‑ATK monsters.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a discardable Fabled monster (e.g., Fabled Grimro) to search a tuner, then special‑summon a tuner and set up a synchro or link summon on turn 2.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Card Destruction or extra draws to find discard triggers, then activate a discard‑to‑special‑summon chain and establish board control before opponent’s turn.
• Recovery: If the board is disrupted, Fiendsmith's Tract and Fiendsmith Engraver can recycle LIGHT Fiend monsters from the GY or deck, allowing another special‑summon line.
• After siding: No side deck is present; the deck relies on its main‑deck consistency for post‑side play.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a modest Fabled engine thanks to a high probability (≈ 82 %) of drawing at least one core starter, but its heavy reliance on discard‑to‑search effects creates a noticeable brick risk (≈ 18 % full brick). Without recorded combo boards, the typical output stays around a median of 35 PowerIndex, limiting ceiling potential. Interaction is decent through removal and banish effects, yet the lack of high‑impact negates and a side deck reduces adaptability. Overall the illegal status forces a theoretical cap, resulting in a low final contextual power despite decent resource loops.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal card (-15). Final formula: Illegal deck; theoretical score capped low; final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.18 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High probability of drawing a core starter
• Self‑special summon loops from the GY
• Flexible discard‑to‑search engine

Weaknesses

• Contains a Forbidden card (Apollousa) making the list illegal
• Relatively high full‑brick risk
• No side deck for post‑side adaptation
• Lack of high‑impact negation

Critical choke points

• Reliance on discard triggers for most effects
• Missing core Fabled cards (Lurrie, Realm's Revival, etc.)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status Illegal; card copy counts and banlist status; probability values from hypergeometric table; composition spreads and archetype purity; restricted cards list
• Inferred: engine accessibility based on P≥1 starter; brick management from full‑brick estimate; combo ceiling and floor inferred from lack of boards; interruption resilience from self‑summon loops; resource economy from discard‑search cycles; interaction quality from removal/banish effects; going‑second board breaking from extra draw potential; offensive closing power from monster ATK values; main‑deck efficiency from archetype purity; extra‑deck efficiency from generic breakdown; side‑deck adaptability from absence of side; pilotability from number of discard triggers
• Provisional: matchup coverage due to missing tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
