D.D. Deck #460308 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• 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: Extra Deck boss monsters (Clear Wing Rider, Crystal Wing, Diamond Bell, Invoked Purgatrio/Elysium) reached through Windwitch and Invoked starters; Hand-trap-supported Synchro and Fusion pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter from a loose mix of Windwitch searchers, Glass Bell, Wynn and Aleister, then a Synchro or Fusion boss; no single reliable line in the evidence
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (10 in the Main Deck) to stop the opponent's first play, then convert with Extra Deck monsters
• Recovery: Hand traps and GY recursion via Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow and Infinite Impermanence, plus Windwitch searchers to refill
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck and Master Duel does not use one

Why it scores here

The list does not function as one engine. Its 40 Main Deck cards spread across Windwitch, Invoked, Clear Wing, Mulcharmy and several off-archetype staples (53 of 55 non-exact-name copies), and the exact D.D. name accounts for only 2 copies, so the archetype label is a weak description of the deck. Searchers are plentiful (12 searcher-text cards, about 0.85 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening), so the deck usually finds a starter, but the starters belong to different lines and many hands will be functional only partially. Ten hand traps and about 11 negation effects give it real going-second interaction, and the Extra Deck (Clear Wing Rider, Crystal Wing, Diamond Bell, Invoked Purgatrio and Elysium) supplies strong closing bodies. Popularity and archetype label did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged. Because the list runs two Forbidden copies of Called by the Grave, the deck is Illegal; the structural estimate of 47 is capped to 25 and no normal Final Contextual score applies.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: illegal_list_cap (-22). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural estimate 47 (Toolbox profile) capped to 25 under the Illegal rule; no normal 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability formula applied

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Ten hand traps and about eleven negation effects give real going-second interaction
• Strong Extra Deck closing bodies with high ATK (3500, 3000, 2800)
• Searcher density (12 cards) makes an opening starter likely
• Extra Deck has enough Fusion and Synchro variety to adapt boss choice

Weaknesses

• Two copies of Called by the Grave are Forbidden, so the list is illegal
• Archetype identity is fragmented: exact D.D. purity is 3.6% and 53 of 55 non-exact copies are off-archetype
• No Side Deck and no combo evidence, so the post-side and combo ceiling cannot be assessed
• Many starters belong to different lines, which weakens the reliability of the opening

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on Windwitch or Invoked cards that do not share a single route
• Hand-trap timing is the main early defense, with no alternative if the hand is dead

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Called by the Grave run 2 copies while Forbidden (legal copies 0); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within master-duel size rules; Extra Deck stats for Clear Wing Rider, Crystal Wing and Diamond Bell; Archetype purity: exact D.D. 3.6%, 53 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5-card opening) about 0.85; P(at least one hand trap in 6-card going-second hand) about 0.85; Interaction layering from hand-trap and negation text; Brick risk from off-archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) based on archetype context only
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second and matchup results unknown no Side Deck or side-deck performance data Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
