Crusadia Deck #538573 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 65/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Build a high‑ATK Crusadia board (Link monsters + Crusadia Revival boost) and attack for lethal damage; Control opponent's plays with a full hand‑trap suite and board‑wipe spells
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon a generic Link (e.g., I:P Masquerena), then special‑summon a Crusadia monster to a linked zone, activate Crusadia Revival for extra attacks and draw cards
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll, etc.) to disrupt opponent, then link summon and attack with boosted Crusadia monsters
• Recovery: Draw engines (Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Formud Skipper, Link Disciple) and Ultimate Slayer recycle extra‑deck cards to restore resources after disruption
• After siding: Rely on hand‑trap versatility; no side deck adaptation available

Why it scores here

The deck opens with a near‑certain Crusadia core monster (≈98% chance), allowing a Link‑zone engine to start on turn 1. It converts that engine into a sizable board boosted by Crusadia Revival and strong hand‑trap protection, giving solid pressure and closing power. Draw engines and Ultimate Slayer provide decent recovery, but the 45‑card main deck dilutes archetype focus and the lack of a side deck limits matchup adaptation, lowering overall reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 73, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: Side Deck Absence (-2); Low Archetype Purity (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high opening consistency for core Crusadia engine
• Robust hand‑trap suite protecting the board
• Multiple draw and recycle sources sustain play
• Flexible extra deck with generic and archetype‑specific links

Weaknesses

• Large main deck with low Crusadia purity dilutes focus
• No side deck limits matchup‑specific adaptation
• Complex link‑zone requirements increase skill floor
• Reliance on limited board‑wipe cards (Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster)

Critical choke points

• Need a Link monster on field before special‑summoning Crusadia monsters
• Limited copies of Crusadia Revival and Crusadia Power can bottleneck turn‑2 pressure
• Hand‑trap count may be insufficient against fast combo decks

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status Legal; card text excerpts for Crusadia core monsters
• Observed: side deck count 0; role_tag_counts show 8 hand traps, 6 negation cards
• Inferred: P(at least one core) 0.9833; full‑brick estimate 0.0167; engine reliability based on link‑zone mechanics; draw engine contributions from Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Formud Skipper, Link Disciple; interaction density from hand‑trap suite; going‑second breaking power from hand‑trap density and board‑wipes
• Provisional: no tournament data for matchup coverage
• 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
