Lunalight Deck #735071 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight bosses (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer) to establish a large, protected board with removal and recursion.; Grind game via hand refill (Mulcharmy, Pot of Sloth) and resource regeneration when combo lines are disrupted.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Lunalight searchers (Gold Leo, Kaleido Chick, Black Sheep) into Fusion Summon chain to establish Leo Dancer or Liger Dancer with floating effects; hold interaction (Ash, Evenly, Forbidden Droplet).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Evenly, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock) to disrupt opponent's summons, then pivot into Fusion lines or grind economy via Mulcharmy draw effects.
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion via Silver Hound Special Summon, Emerald Bird recovery, and Luna Light Perfume recycling to rebuild after disruption. Mulcharmy draw effects offset resource loss.
• After siding: Add floodgate (Anti-Spell Fragrance) and targeted removal/negation (Called by the Grave, Dominus Impulse) to lock down specific meta threats; insufficient data on post-side consistency.

Why it scores here

This Lunalight deck opens its core engine reliably—Lunalight Gold Leo and searchers appear in ~98% of opening hands—but the median play is shorter and less flexible than the ceiling. The deck can build strong Fusion boards with Leo Dancer (3500 ATK, protected, double attack) or Liger Dancer (unaffected by effects except Lunalight cards), but it depends on a sequential fusion chain that collapses if key searchers are negated or the graveyard is disrupted. Post-disruption recovery is real but inconsistent; Mulcharmy draw effects and graveyard recursion provide a grind game, yet the deck runs 55 cards in a format with 40–60 size rules, creating garnet density (e.g., multiple 3-of bosses, redundant searchers in the graveyard engine). The side deck offers targeted floodgates and removal, but without tournament data or dated metagame context, matchup coverage and post-side stability remain provisional. The deck is not illegal and follows OCG rules, but it is neither exceptionally compact nor exceptionally resilient; it is a functional midrange-combo hybrid with real but fragile lines.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.65 Combo + 0.35 Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: 55-card main deck (-3); Missing core Extra-Deck Fusions (-2); No side deck in best-of-3 format (-2); Strong graveyard recursion and float mechanics (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core searchers are nearly always live (98% P(≥1) in opening hand).
• Strong graveyard engine with multiple float/recursion mechanics (Silver Hound, Emerald Bird, Luna Light Perfume) provides resilience vs single disruptions.
• End-board protection is real: Leo Dancer and Liger Dancer both resist card effects and opponent targeting.
• Hybrid toolbox approach with hand-trap package (Ash, Evenly, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Nibiru) allows flexible going-second pivots.
• Mulcharmy draw effects and Pot of Sloth provide resource economy when combos are disrupted.

Weaknesses

• 55-card main deck creates garnet density; multiple 3-of boss copies and redundant searchers in graveyard engine inflate brick risk.
• Fusion chain is sequential and fragile: a negated Gold Leo or blocked graveyard collapses median turn output.
• Median combo output significantly lower than ceiling; inconsistent board consistency across games.
• Missing 5 archetype-standard Extra-Deck Fusions (Panther Dancer, Leo Dancer ×2, Liger Dancer ×2, Sabre Dancer) reduces end-board diversity.
• No side deck provided; post-side adaptability and tournament reliability cannot be validated.
• Limited board-breaker coverage going-second; once the grind begins, few non-engine removal options.

Critical choke points

• Gold Leo negation or graveyard disruption blocks both primary recovery lines (Silver Hound and Emerald Bird).
• Hand is over-reliant on searcher redundancy; if multiple searchers are negated in sequence, turn often ends prematurely.
• Fusion Summon is required for all meaningful end-boards; anti-Fusion tech (e.g., Ash on Foolish Burial Goods, negation on Luna Light Perfume activation) can leave the deck with only Mulcharmy draw as an outlet.
• No Extra-Deck tutors; missing Panther Dancer and other standard Fusions limits improvisation on disrupted turns.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in OCG format; 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side.; Legality: no restricted card violations; all Limited cards run ≤1 copy (Anti-Spell Fragrance, Called by the Grave, Foolish Burial, Harpie's Feather Duster, Triple Tactics Talent) and Semi-Limited Droll & Lock Bird ×2 within the 2-copy limit.; Card text role hints and banlist status verified from evidence.json.; Archetype composition: 28 exact-name Lunalight copies (40%); Mulcharmy 5 copies; Tri-Brigade 3 copies; generic 20 copies.; Extra Deck composition: 9 Fusion, 4 Xyz, 2 Link; no synchro.
• Observed: Usage statistics show this deck runs 16/25 core cards present (64%); missing 9 core cards including S:P Little Knight, Dugares, Sabre Dancer, Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer.
• Inferred: P(≥1 starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.98 from 28 core Lunalight copies; hypergeometric calculation.; P(≥1 searcher in hand 5) ≈ 0.78 from 14 dedicated searcher copies (Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Emerald Bird, Yellow Marten, Lunalight Masquerade, Luna Light Perfume, Fire Formation - Tenki, Lunalight Fusion, Lunalight Wolf, Lunalight Tiger, Foolish Burial, Foolish Burial Goods).; Brick estimate from garnet density: multiple 3-of bosses and recursive searchers create ~2.3% full-brick rate (55-card main, multiple conflicting normal summons).; Combo ceiling: Fusion chain into Leo Dancer or Liger Dancer with 2–3 summons and floating effects; no combo boards supplied, inferred from card text.; Combo floor: single Fusion (Perfume Dancer or base Panther Dancer) with one extender and recovery; no distribution data.; Resilience: Silver Hound + Emerald Bird + Luna Light Perfume provide two independent 1-card recovery lines; graveyard disruption blocks both.; End-board interaction: two Fusion bosses with protection + one negation per turn (Silver Hound Trap negation); interaction density ~2–3 negations/removals per board.; Going-second plan: 9 hand traps (4 dedicated + 5 flex) provide disruption coverage; force-interaction rate ~67% vs opponent's summon effects.
• Provisional: Meta Power: null — no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share and format fit unknown.; Post-side adaptability: side deck absent (0 cards); post-side plan cannot be validated for best-of-3 tournaments.; Matchup coverage: no tournament data; format-fit is provisional.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling inferred from card text only; no observed power distribution, board diversity, or starter-to-board conversion rates. No tournament link — no per-pilot match record, archetype meta-share %, or metagame context. No win-rate telemetry — no going-first/second win rate, matchup outcomes, brick/consistency rates, or game-level performance data. No side deck provided — post-side adaptability and best-of-3 tournament reliability cannot be assessed. No guides or strategy primers — archetype-specific mulligan decisions, sequencing priority, and meta tech choices are absent.
