Onomat Deck #632552 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• 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: Xyz Summon Rank 4 bosses (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer) from a search-heavy Onomat/Ryzeal/Dododo starter chain; Extra Deck Xyz extenders and Gagaga/Gogogo/Zubaba body recursion for board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon starters (Dodododo Warrior, Gagaga Ganbara Knight, Onomatopaira/Onomatopickup) into Rank 4 Xyz, using Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle to protect the line
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Maxx "C" for interaction, then rebuild a board from Onomat searches
• Recovery: Recover through Onomat searchers and Gagaga/Dododo recursion from the GY and banish zone; Reinforcement of the Army and Bonfire add bodies
• After siding: No side deck is listed in the evidence, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how the system is built, not from averaging card scores. Its 16 searcher-text cards and a 17-copy archetype core give it a high chance of finding a starter (P ≥ 1 searcher in an opening 5 ≈ 0.92, Inferred), and the 8 hand traps and negation cards give it real interaction on both turns. Its Extra Deck of Rank 4 and Rank 9 Xyz monsters gives it several closing options. The score is held down by the absence of combo data (floor and median are text-only inference), the very low archetype purity (1.8% exact-name, with about 56 off-archetype copies spread across sub-archetypes), and the lack of any side deck. Popularity was not credited: the Onomat archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, but do not themselves raise the score. The deck is Illegal (Maxx "C" over its limit, and two Forbidden cards run), so it is capped near 37 and treated as a structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (not separately weighted). Structural ≈ 50.8, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 48.6, then banlist-exposure modifier -12 → 37 (Illegal: structural-only, capped)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Dense searcher text (16 cards) and a 17-copy archetype core make a starter likely in the opening hand
• Hand traps and negations (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C") cover both turns
• Extra Deck has several Rank 4 closers (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in Master Duel: Maxx "C" over its limit, and Ryzeal Cross and Called by the Grave are Forbidden
• Very low archetype purity (1.8% exact-name); the list is spread across Ryzeal, Dododo, Mulcharmy, Seventh and other sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Onomat searchers and Xyz Rank 4 summons all rely on a few Level 4 starters
• Forbidden cards occupy main deck slots that a legal list would need to fill

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 42 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within size rules; Maxx "C" over its Limited copy limit; Ryzeal Cross and Called by the Grave are Forbidden in Master Duel; Onomat core usage stats: 17 copies in the archetype core
• Inferred: Starter probability ≈ 0.92 from hypergeometric draw odds; Hand-trap and negation coverage from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• 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 and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck present in the export
