Lunalight Deck #730481 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Lunalight Fusion Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Fusion-focused
• 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 Lunalight boss monsters (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Sabre Dancer) for high ATK/protection; Grind through Lunalight recursion and hand traps for resource advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Resolve core Lunalight starters into Fusion Summons, set board interaction via hand traps and negation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps and Dominus Impulse for disruption, then convert remaining resources to Fusion pressure
• Recovery: Lunalight Masquerade, Luna Light Perfume, and Yellow Marten recursion to rebuild after interruption
• After siding: No side deck provided; best-of-1 only

Why it scores here

This evaluation is theoretical only because the deck is Illegal in Master Duel format due to the inclusion of Zoodiac Broadbull (Forbidden). Setting aside legality, the deck opens its core Lunalight engine with 99.98% frequency (verified probability of at least one starter in opening hand), and can theoretically resolve multiple Fusion Summons into boss monsters with high ATK and protection effects. However, the deck is missing three high-inclusion Extra Deck cards (Lunalight Leo Dancer 91.7%, Liger Dancer 91.7%, Perfume Dancer 100%), which significantly reduces the consistency and impact of actual combo lines. The structural analysis reflects a fusion-focused Combo strategy with decent recursion and limited interaction, but the absence of combo evidence and incomplete core set mean floor and median outputs cannot be verified. The score is capped due to the Forbidden card violation and cannot represent a playable deck in the Master Duel format.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Forbidden card penalty (-20); Missing core Extra Deck cards (-3); No combo evidence (-3). Final formula: Structural 56 → capped to 40 due to Illegal status. Evaluation is theoretical only; cannot be played in Master Duel format.

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Core Lunalight engine opens with 99.98% frequency; excellent starter consistency
• Lunalight bosses (Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer) feature strong ATK values and protection from targeting/effects
• Recursion via Lunalight Masquerade, Luna Light Perfume, and Yellow Marten provides grind potential
• Fusion mechanic flexibility: Polymerization ×2, Luna Light Perfume, Lunalight Fusion, and Wolf Pendulum effect provide multiple fusion pathways
• Hand trap coverage (Ash Blossom ×3) and Dominus Impulse provide defensive early game

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL: Zoodiac Broadbull (Forbidden in Master Duel) makes deck unplayable
• Missing three high-inclusion Extra Deck cards: Lunalight Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer (91.7–100% typical)
• Nine 1-ofs reduce consistency of secondary lines and recovery options
• Limited going-second board-breaking: only Dominus Impulse and Called by the Grave; no multi-pop removal or storm effects
• Low hand trap frequency (4 copies, 10% of deck); weak going-second opening hand quality
• No side deck provided; cannot adapt post-side in best-of-3
• Spell-heavy composition (13 spells, 40 cards) risks dead hands without monsters in opening hand

Critical choke points

• Fusion material requirements: deck depends on Normal/Special Summoning specific Lunalight starters as fusion materials; single disruption to starter can brick multiple fusion lines
• Extra Deck incompleteness: missing Leo Dancer and Liger Dancer means ceiling boards are unreachable and median output is undefined
• Zoodiac Broadbull (Forbidden): deck as listed cannot be played in Master Duel format
• Mulcharmy draw engine requires opponent Special Summons to trigger; useless going-first T1

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck legality: ILLEGAL (Zoodiac Broadbull Forbidden in Master Duel); Main/Extra/Side deck sizes: 40/15/0 (within Master Duel limits except for Forbidden card); Hypergeometric draw probability P(≥1 core Lunalight in hand 5): 0.9998 with 31-copy core set; Archetype purity: 52.7% Lunalight exact name (verified from composition); Usage statistics: core cards missing Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer (verified from usage_statistics); Hand trap count: 4 copies (Ash Blossom ×3, Maxx C ×1); Forbidden card list: Zoodiac Broadbull confirmed Forbidden in Master Duel banlist
• Observed: No combos supplied: combos_evidence.total_combos = 0, combos_evidence.scored_combos = 0; Core card inclusion: 17/25 archetype-standard cards present (68% coverage); Extra Deck breakdown: 10 Fusions, 2 Links, 3 XYZ (observed from card list)
• Inferred: Combo ceiling estimate: Liger Dancer (3800 ATK, unaffected) and Leo Dancer (3500 ATK, second attack) as endboard targets (text-based, no combo evidence); Combo floor estimate: single Fusion Summon due to missing Leo/Liger Dancers and high material cost without full core (no combo evidence); Brick rate estimate: low-ATK monsters (Gold Leo 600, Black Sheep 100) and spell-heavy composition (13/40) create ~10–15% full-hand-brick risk (heuristic); Going-second power estimate: weak due to only 4 hand traps and limited board-breaking removal; reliant on Dominus Impulse and Called by Grave (text-based); Pilotability estimate: Fusion mechanics + Pendulum + recursion loops = moderate complexity; not beginner-friendly but not extreme (text-based); Grind potential estimate: Lunalight Masquerade, Luna Light Perfume, and Yellow Marten recursion provide decent recovery, but missing Perfume Dancer limits resource generation (text-based); Interaction density estimate: Ash Blossom ×3 + Maxx C ×1 hand traps + Dominus Impulse (2×) + Called by Grave (1×) = moderate but not dense; no floodgates or stun effects (text-based)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample or tournament link; Lunalight archetype meta-share unknown in Master Duel); Matchup coverage: unknown without tournament context; Post-side plan: no side deck provided; cannot assess best-of-3 adaptability
• Data gaps: CRITICAL: Zoodiac Broadbull is Forbidden in Master Duel; deck is unplayable as listed No combos supplied: combos_evidence.total_combos = 0. Cannot verify actual combo ceiling, median output, board-per-starter distribution, or going-first vs going-second split Missing core Extra Deck cards: Leo Dancer (91.7% typical 2×), Liger Dancer (91.7% typical 2×), Perfume Dancer (100% typical 2×) significantly alter actual consistency and endboard quality No tournament link: archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, and format context absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/going-second game win rates, brick rates, OTK rates, and matchup data not available in YGOVN No side deck: post-side adaptation and best-of-3 plans cannot be assessed Guides evidence: only 1 Vietnamese guide snippet provided; no detailed archetype strategy breakdown in English
