Galaxy Photon Deck #632582 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 73/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: none
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Turn 2 OTK via Number 62 / Number C62 with board buffs and Afterglow; Value grind and incremental board control through Galaxy/Tachyon engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Start with Galaxy Hundred + searcher chain to activate hand traps and open the board for Number 62
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand disruption, use Galaxy Wizard/Photon Jumper to find key searchers and set up Number 62 or Afterglow triggers
• Recovery: Reclaim with Tachyon Transmigration and Infinite Impermanence, recycle key pieces via Galaxy Expedition and hand traps

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Turn 1–2 OTK plan through a high density of Galaxy/Tachyon searchers and hand traps, converting into strong board pressure via Number 62/C62 and Afterglow triggers (D3 ceiling 80). Its floor is constrained by brick risk from 3-of key pieces and limited recursion outside the engine (D2 brick 55, D5 resilience 55). Resource grind and extra-deck coverage are solid thanks to consistent searcher flow and multi-purpose triggers (D6 65, D7 70, D11 75). The build is efficient and compact (D10 70) but side adaptability is low (D12 40) and matchup variance is moderate; meta fit is provisional without dated sample (D13 50). Overall 73 reflects a strong but variance-sensitive combo engine that depends on hitting early searchers and Afterglow timing.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (combo-primary). Structural ≈ 67, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: hand_trap_variance (-3); afterglow_dependence (-4); engine_density (5); extra_deck_coverage (4); side_deck_weakness (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · key two-card combo ≈ 0.21 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex 82, median 62, board-per-starter 2.6
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High density of Galaxy/Tachyon searchers enables consistent Turn 1–2 starts
• Strong end-board burst via Number 62/C62 + Afterglow
• Extra deck fully leveraged with 15 XYZ slots
• Good resource economy through Tachyon Transmigration and value triggers

Weaknesses

• Low side adaptability and no clear post-side plan
• Dependence on Afterglow timing creates matchup variance
• 3-of key pieces raise brick risk in grindy games
• Limited explicit recursion outside main combo path

Critical choke points

• Need to open with Galaxy Hundred or Seventh Tachyon to start engine
• Afterglow timing must align with Number 62/C62 availability
• Disruption can lock out single recursion path (Tachyon Transmigration)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status and card limits; composition and extra-deck breakdown; probabilities from resolved deck list
• Observed: combo logs for best-line power index and board-per-starter; interaction density and negation count from card text roles
• Inferred: opening hand quality and brick estimates; disruption resilience and recursion depth; meta fit and side plan coverage
• Provisional: meta power and matchup outcomes without dated metagame
• Data gaps: no win-rate telemetry or matchup breakdowns no tournament link or per-pilot performance data combo floor/median/ceiling based on text and logs rather than observed frequencies
