Lightsworn Deck #663262 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Lightsworn milling to summon high‑ATK boss monsters (e.g., Minerva, Fiendsmith's Lacrima) and overwhelm the opponent; Tearlaments/FIendsmith Fusion and Link summons for board‑breaking
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Solar Recharge or Charge of the Light Brigade to mill Lightsworn cards and add a Level 4 Lightsworn monster, then set up a milling loop and summon a mid‑range monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx "C", Droll & Lock Bird) to disrupt opponent, then activate milling engine and bring out a boss monster on turn 2 or 3
• Recovery: Recursion via Fiendsmith Engraver, Lumina, and Tearlaments effects to revive key Lightsworn monsters and keep the milling engine alive after disruption
• After siding: No side deck; the deck relies on its built‑in flexibility and hand‑trap suite for post‑side adaptation

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Lightsworn milling engine (≈57% chance to have a core card) and can generate card advantage by turn 2, giving it solid midrange pressure. Hand traps and multiple recursion paths let it survive typical disruption, while the Extra Deck provides several high‑ATK finishers. However, the large 47‑card main deck and low archetype purity increase brick risk and reduce consistency, and the lack of a side deck limits adaptability, keeping the overall power around the mid‑range tier.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60.2, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Low archetype purity (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.57 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.43 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong Lightsworn milling engine
• Good hand‑trap suite for disruption
• Multiple high‑ATK finishers in Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Large main deck with low archetype purity increases brick risk
• No side deck limits post‑side adaptation
• Complex multi‑archetype interactions raise pilot error tolerance

Critical choke points

• Opening hand lacking core Lightsworn cards (≈43% chance)
• Reliance on limited cards (e.g., Tearlaments Kitkallos) for Fusion summons

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status and copy limits; Extra‑Deck card counts and types
• Inferred: Engine accessibility from core probability 0.571; Brick estimate from missing core probability 0.429; Resource economy from Lightsworn draw cards; Interaction density from hand‑trap count; Going‑second power from hand‑trap group probability 0.5812; Pilotability from multi‑archetype complexity
• Provisional: Matchup coverage due to absent tournament data
• 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
