Solemn Deck #655293 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Solemn/Elemental HERO Mix (Illegal) — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion summon Elemental HERO boss monsters (Absolute Zero, The Shining) and attack for advantage; Board control via traps (Solemn Warning/Judgment, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute)
• Turn 1 (going first): Set negation/traps and fusion summon a boss like Absolute Zero using Neos Alius + Miracle Fusion
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Heavy Storm/MST and Super Polymerization to clear/steal board then fusion summon
• Recovery: Monster Reborn or Call of the Haunted to revive boss monsters from GY
• After siding: None (side deck empty)

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in Master Duel due to running two copies of Limited Pot of Duality, so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped low as a theoretical structural evaluation only. The system shows a loosely coherent Elemental HERO fusion engine supplemented by generic trap interaction, but monster count is low (9 of 40 maindeck cards) creating high brick risk and no redundant combo lines. Consistency is inferred from hypergeometric searcher odds (~0.64) but the median output is a single fusion boss with backrow, not a multi-layered board. Popularity or archetype meta-share did not earn points, and the score was not produced by averaging individual card power. The absence of a side deck and missing core staples from usage stats further weaken tournament reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary only. Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (Pot of Duality) (-20); No side deck (-5). Final formula: Illegal deck: no normal Final Contextual score; structural theoretical only, capped low per rubric

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.2 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Accessible fusion bosses with field-clearing effects (Absolute Zero)
• Multiple negation/removal traps provide some interaction
• Simple to pilot for casual play

Weaknesses

• Illegal due to Pot of Duality over limit
• Low monster count leads to frequent brick hands
• No side deck and missing meta core staples
• Few redundant engine lines; fragile to disruption

Critical choke points

• Pot of Duality copy violation makes deck illegal
• Reliance on Normal Summon + Fusion Spell without search redundancy
• Traps are dead against backrow removal going second

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with Pot of Duality over limit; Card text for fusion spells, traps, and bosses; Banlist statuses (Limited/Semi-Limited) from Master Duel field; Extra deck composition 9 fusion + 6 xyz
• Inferred: Consistency from hypergeometric searcher odds; Brick risk from low monster ratio; Median output and resilience from text-only reads
• Provisional: Matchup format fit without dated metagame
• 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 Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
