Stardust / Synchron Deck #723232 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Chain Synchro Summons off Stardust Trail, Synchron tuners and Tuning into multi-attack Synchro boards (Shooting Quasar Dragon x2, Crimson Dragon, Ruddy Rose, Stardust Dragon, Centur-Ion Auxila, Stardust Warrior).; Recursive Centur-Ion and Stardust follow-up via Stand Up Centur-Ion!, Centur-Ion Atrii and Synchro Rumble when the first board is removed.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Tuning or On Your Mark to fetch a Synchron tuner, pair with Stardust Trail or Effect Veiler, and Synchro Summon a board-presence Synchro; keep Forbidden Droplet and Effect Veiler up as interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open Effect Veiler or D.D. Crow as a hand trap to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Stardust Trail and a Synchro into Quasar or Stardust Dragon.
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Stardust Trail, Synchro Rumble (Synchro-revival from GY), Centur-Ion Atrii and Tuning to refill the field; Necrovalley protects the GY from opposing recursion.
• After siding: No side deck is built in this Duel Links export (Side Deck size 0); no post-side plan is evidenced and none is scored beyond a provisional read.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Synchro plan in most hands: P(at least one Stardust Trail in an opening 5) is about 0.43 and P(at least one searcher-text card) is about 0.76, though the engine needs a monster plus a tuner, and only 12 of 30 Main Deck cards are monsters, so the chance of a no-monster opening is roughly 6 percent (Inferred). Conversion ceiling is strong because the Extra Deck carries multi-attack Synchros (Shooting Quasar Dragon x2, Crimson Dragon, Ruddy Rose, Stardust Dragon) and strong ATK closing bodies. Interaction is layered across the Main Deck (Effect Veiler x3, D.D. Crow x2, Forbidden Droplet x3, Synchro Rumble) and the Extra Deck negations, which earns D7 and D8. Median output, pilotability and matchup fit are not scored from popularity: the archetype's guide claims meta presence, but no tournament or win-rate data exists, so meta and matchup remain provisional. No card scores were averaged; the score reflects the system's consistency, recovery, interaction and closing power, reduced for a thin monster count, single-copy Limited key cards, and an empty side deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 59, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine compactness (-3); banlist exposure / single-copy Limited key cards (-1); weak or absent post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied): 0.80*59 + 0.20*55 = 58.2, then context modifiers -6 = 52.2, rounded to 52

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Five hand traps and three Forbidden Droplet give real going-second answers
• Two Shooting Quasar Dragon and multiple Synchros give strong closing power
• Searcher density (Tuning, On Your Mark, Stardust Synchron, Centur-Ion Atrii) supports consistency
• Multiple GY-recursion lines support recovery after interruption

Weaknesses

• Only 12 monsters in the Main Deck; monster-light for a Synchro engine
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so no measured combo floor or matchup read
• Key Extra Deck cards are single-copy and Limited (Crimson Dragon)

Critical choke points

• Stardust Trail (3 copies) as the main Tribute-based Special Summon enabler
• A Synchron tuner (Stardust Synchron, Junk Synchron, Effect Veiler) being present in hand
• Crimson Dragon as a single Limited Extra Deck card

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Duel Links: 30 Main, 9 Extra, Crimson Dragon and Necrovalley Limited at 1 copy; Card stats and text from the export; Usage stat: Stardust Trail 100%, Stardust Synchron 87.5%, Crimson Dragon 100% included in the archetype; Guide (id 1417) claims a meta presence, but this is unverified context
• Inferred: Hypergeometric draw estimates (0.43 Stardust Trail, 0.06 no-monster opening, 0.70 hand trap going second); Engine conversion and interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second power components
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D12 side deck adaptability (no side deck built); D13 matchup fit (no tournament or win-rate data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck in the export, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured
