Predaplant Deck #463533 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Sumon Predaplant boss monsters (Chimeraflesia, Dragostapelia, Triphyoverutum) to control the board with Predator Counters and interaction; Starving Venom Fusion Dragon variants for removal and resource gain; Gredy Venom for ATK negation and disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Predaplant engine starters to Fusion Summon Chimerafflesia or Dragostapelia, establish Predator Counter lock and board presence
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler) to disrupt opponent; leverage Super Polymerization to steal boards and Fusion Summon; board-break with Starving Venom variants
• Recovery: Predaplant Byblisp and Predaplanet searchability ensures recovery through graveyard recursion; Predapruning and Predaponics enable mid-game remergence
• After siding: Master Duel format with no side deck (Side Deck size = 0); post-side strategy unavailable

Why it scores here

Predaplant is a mid-tier combo deck built around Fusion Summoning DARK Fusion boses that establish Predator Counter locks for control and disruption. The deck opens its core engine reliably (P≥1 starter ≈ 0.85), but lacks deep redundancy—ceiling plays involve Chimerafflesia or Triphyoverutum with layered interaction, but median output drops to board-plus-one when disrupted or on suboptimal hands. Key weaknesses include dependence on five specific Predaplant starters (none at 93% meta inclusion like Longinephila, which this list omits), limited independent combos (no combo evidence provided), and a harsh brick risk when missing both a starter and Fusion spell. Strengths are board quality, searchability, and Super Polymerization's reactive flexibility. The deck is held back by format speed and insufficient copies of critical cards like Instant Fusion and Predaprimitive—both core per usage statistics but absent here. Master Duel context and no side deck reduce adaptability. Structural power≈ 64; tournament reliability ≈ 59(vulnerability to early disruption, tight resource economy); final contextual score 62 reflects a playable but not dominant Fusion midrange strategy.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ —, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 59. Modifiers: Missing high-inclusion core cards (-3); No side deck in Master Duel (-2); High brick risk from singleton/two-of distribution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Reliable core engine with high starter concentration (15 copies across 5 distinct Predaplant starters)
• Searchable float via Predaplant Byblisp, Predaplanet, Predaponics; mid-game recovery enabled
• Super Polymerization provides reactive Fusion Summon access and opponent board disruption
• Extra Deck breadth: 9 distinct Fusion Monsters with layered effects (banish, negate, control, ATK manipulation)
• Predator Counter mechanic enables scaling interaction and board control durability

Weaknesses

• Critical core cards missing: Predaplant Longinephila (93% meta inclusion), Instant Fusion (93%), Princess Dracaena (80%), Predaprimitive (80—only 20% of core present
• Limited starter redundancy after engine is disrupted; no second independent combo line confirmed
• High brick risk: four singletons and nine two-ofs create variance; missing both starter + Fusion spell results in empty board
• Median board power inferred as single Fusion boss + 1–2 Predator Counters; ceiling significantly higher, indicating inconsistency
• Graveyard dependency (Predaplanning, Predaplanet, Byblisp recovery) creates vulnerability to banish and GY shutdown
• Master Duel side deck = 0; zero post-game-1 adaptability

Critical choke points

• Opening hand must contain at least one Predaplant starter OR a hand-trap to not brick; absence of both is near-unrecoverable
• Predaplant Longinephila unavailable; loss of a93%-inclusion starter path reduces opening diversity
• Predapruning (2 copies) is the only self-recur enabler for mid-game recovery; destruction removes it permanently
• Super Polymerization limited to 2 copies (Semi-Limited); reactive Fusion access constrained
• Fusion Summon restriction (Predapractice locks Extra Deck to Fusions only on activation turn) can conflict with other engine cards neding sumon stage
