Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Control
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon high-ATK Lunalight bosses (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Sabre Dancer) for overwhelming offense and board control; Grind through resource regeneration via GY recursion and hand disruption via hand traps and negation cards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Lunalight searchers or Polymerization cards to establish a Fusion board with interaction (Liger Dancer or Leo Dancer) plus traps for disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, Dominus Impulse, and hand traps to clear or disrupt opponent's board, then Fusion Summon for lethal or rebuild
• Recovery: Recycling via Luna Light Perfume, GY recovery effects on monsters (Silver Hound, Emerald Bird, Kaleido Chick), and searchers to rebuild after disruption
• After siding: No side deck present; post-side performance unknown

Why it scores here

This Lunalight deck reliably opens a Fusion-based engine with good searcher density (71% starter consistency), but struggles with hand quality due to high spell count and redundant Polymerization variants. The ceiling is solid (68) with multi-attack bosses and board interaction, but the median output (58) reflects inconsistent starter diversity and limited independent combo lines. Recovery through GY recursion is moderate (64), and going-second removal coverage (61) is decent but not exceptional. The deck lacks missing high-utility Extra-Deck cards and has no side deck, limiting adaptability (0). Popularity and archetype usage did not factor into the score; this evaluation reflects the system's actual consistency, combo conversion, and resilience as measured against the dimensions.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: No side deck (-5); 60% core present (-3); High spell density (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Reliable core consistency: 97% probability of opening at least one Lunalight monster or searcher
• Powerful Fusion bosses with built-in evasion and multi-attack effects (Liger Dancer unaffected except by Lunalight, Leo Dancer double-attack + targeting immunity)
• Strong GY recursion engine: 4 monsters that recover from GY, plus Luna Light Perfume for free Special Summon
• Reasonable going-second disruption: Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm, Dominus Impulse, 3x Ash Blossom, 2x hand traps
• Searcher density (17 cards with searcher tags) enables recovery lines
• Spell/Trap interaction coverage (Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Dominus Impulse) protects board

Weaknesses

• No side deck: -5 points for lost best-of-3 adaptability
• Missing 10 core cards (40% of standard): Gozen Match, Rivalry of Warlords, S:P Little Knight, Cross-Sheep, Bagooska, Tiger King, Panther Dancer, Leo Dancer 3x, Liger Dancer 3x, Perfume Dancer 2x
• High spell count (40/55) creates hand clogging and reduces monster board depth
• Limited independent combo lines: most hands need a Polymerization card to generate value
• Conflicting Normal Summons (Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Emerald Bird): reduces opening hand quality
• No forced-interaction engine for going-second; removal relies on hand cards rather than on-board negates
• Fusion materials are limited; Liger Dancer requires 5+ materials (Leo Dancer + 3 Lunalight) limiting consistency of the best board

Critical choke points

• Single Polymerization access: if called/negated turn 1, deck stalls; only 5 Poly variants and many are searchable but not live
• Ash Blossom on startup search: deck thin is disrupted by graveyard send prohibition
• No S:P Little Knight or Cross-Sheep in Extra: limits going-second board breaking and Fusion material recycling
• Liger Dancer material cost: 5+ monsters needed for best boss; inconsistent over multiple turns
• Hand-trap reliance on draw: Mulcharmy draw engines (Fuwalos, Purulia) require opponent summon, not guaranteed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in TCG format (55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side); All restricted cards are within legal copy limits; Lunalight Gold Leo appears 3x (Verified from card list); Ash Blossom 3x present (Verified); 5 hand traps total (Verified from role_hint_tags); Archetype purity: 40% exact Lunalight name (Verified from composition)
• Observed: 60% of standard core present (15 of 25 core cards in deck); Usage statistics show 100% inclusion on 25 core cards; this deck runs 15 of them
• Inferred: P(≥1 Lunalight core in hand 5) ≈ 0.97 from hypergeometric on 27 core + 17 searcher copies; Brick rate ≈ 3% (all searchers whiffed in opening hand); Fusion ceiling via Leo Dancer (ATK 3500, double-attack) and Liger Dancer (ATK 3800, unaffected, double-attack, board wipe); Median combo output ≈ 1 Fusion + 1-2 traps on T1; limited reroute after Ash = floor ≈ 60; Going-second removal: Forbidden Droplet + Lightning Storm + 3x Ash + Dominus Impulse = ~4-5 disruption points; GY recursion density: 4 monsters with recovery effects + Luna Light Perfume = moderate grind engine; Spell/Trap interaction: 5 negation cards (Solemn, Dominus, Called by) + 2-3 removal spells; Pilotability moderate: Fusion sequencing + GY activation windows + hand-trap timing require careful play
• Provisional: Meta Power: no dated metagame sample; archetype meta-share unknown; Matchup coverage: Lunalight not positioned as a format warper; lacks data on top-deck meta; Post-side performance: no side deck present; cannot evaluate best-of-3 adaptability
• Data gaps: No combo examples or boards scored: combos floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference No tournament link or meta-share data: cannot compute Meta Power or matchup win rates No side deck: post-side strategy and best-of-3 tuning unknown No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second split, brick rate, starting-hand distribution, matchup outcomes are inferred or absent Guides present but Vietnamese-only: strategic intent snippets not fully parsed
