Labrynth Deck #632548 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Trap-setup Labrynth/Temple of the Kings lines that reach Link, Synchro, Xyz and Fusion boards (Anubis the Last Judge, Divine Serpent Apophis, Chaos Angel, Lady Labrynth) and convert with 3000+ ATK monsters; Hand-trap and negation interaction (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Maxx C) to stall the opponent's board while the Extra Deck comes online
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Labrynth starter (Arianna, Welcome Labrynth or Big Welcome Labrynth) that searches or Special Summons a second Labrynth piece, then set Normal Traps to enable Lady or Lovely Labrynth as the board breaker
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Dimensional Barrier) to answer the opponent's first summon, then build a Link board off the surviving starter
• Recovery: Recover Normal Traps from the GY through Lady Labrynth, Lovely Labrynth and Welcome Labrynth, and refill the Trap-based engine from the Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan to assess

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Labrynth starter: the 21 archetype-core copies give about a 0.98 chance of at least one in an opening hand of 5 (Inferred). Its interaction density is high, with 16 negation-text cards, 14 removal-text cards and 9 hand traps, so the board answers are layered rather than single-threaded. Conversion is the weak link: no recorded boards exist, the 24 Trap cards depend on setup and sequencing, and only 10 of 42 main-deck copies share the exact Labrynth name, so the engine is spread across several sub-archetypes. The score is built from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage on the system, not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity. Because the list is Illegal (Dimension Shifter is Forbidden, and Maxx C and Treasures of the Kings exceed their copy limits), the final score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 52.9, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: Structural = Toolbox weights with D13 dropped and renormalised (meta-neutral) = 52.9; uncapped 0.80*52.9 + 0.20*45 + modifiers(-11) = 40.3, capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power is null/provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Layered interaction: 16 negation-text, 14 removal-text and 9 hand-trap cards
• High at-least-one odds for the archetype-core starter group
• Extra Deck covers Link, Synchro, Xyz and Fusion with cheap Link access

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: a Forbidden card and two copy-limit violations
• Trap-heavy, setup-dependent engine with a low exact-name purity of 17.5%
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the conversion ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Normal Trap setup for Lady and Lovely Labrynth and the Trap-based engine
• Dependence on the Extra Deck for closing power
• The Forbidden Dimension Shifter slot, which must be removed before the deck can be evaluated normally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Dimension Shifter Forbidden with 1 copy; Maxx C Limited with 2 copies against 1; Treasures of the Kings Semi-Limited with 3 copies against 2; Main 42, Extra 15, Side 0, within the Master Duel size rules; Card text excerpts for Labrynth starters, hand traps and Extra Deck bosses
• Inferred: At least one archetype-core starter in opening 5 ≈ 0.98; Hand-trap presence in going-second hands ≈ 0.79; Interaction quality and layering from card text; Consistency, brick and Extra Deck coverage estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Format fit for the current Master Duel environment
• Data gaps: Illegal list: a Forbidden card and two copy-limit violations prevent a normal Final Contextual score No recorded combo boards, so the combo ceiling, median and power distribution are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured Usage-statistics inconsistency: Super Starslayer TY-PHON is shown as in this deck=false although the Extra Deck list includes it (1 copy) Deck title is null No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first and going-second splits are Inferred
