Nemeses Deck #736552 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Control the opponent with hand traps and disruption, then build a resilient Xyz/Link board.; Utilize Tistina searchers and Mulcharmy draw engines to generate resources for late‑game pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, etc.) to stop opponent’s key plays, then search a Tistina monster and set up a quick Xyz summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six‑card hand to stack multiple hand traps, then on opponent’s turn activate a board‑breaker (Full‑Armored Xyz, Totem Bird) or a Tistina beatstick.
• Recovery: If the board is broken, recycle resources with Mulcharmy draw effects, Droll & Lock Bird, and the various Tistina searchers to re‑establish a monster presence.
• After siding: No side deck is present; the list relies on its built‑in toolbox to adapt.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with a hand trap and a Tistina searcher in over 90% of opening hands, giving it strong early consistency. Its many disruption tools (negates, floodgates) and draw engines let it survive opponent interference and recover resources. While it lacks a high‑damage combo, it can assemble a solid Xyz/Link board that pressures opponents in the mid‑game. The wide variety of searchers and flexible extra‑deck slots provide toolbox adaptability, but the absence of a side deck and the low archetype purity limit its efficiency and matchup coverage.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 57.45, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Low archetype purity (-4); No side deck (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Very high opening‑hand consistency for core cards.
• Rich hand‑trap and negation suite for disruption.
• Multiple draw engines to recover resources.

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity leads to potential brick and inefficiency.
• No side deck limits adaptability in best‑of‑3.
• Lack of a defined high‑damage combo reduces ceiling.

Critical choke points

• Reliance on drawing key Tistina monsters early.
• Need for Xyz materials to activate powerful board‑breakers.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status; card copy counts; role hints
• Inferred: engine accessibility from probability; brick estimate from hypergeometric; resource loops from card text; interaction density from role tags; extra‑deck coverage from card list
• Provisional: matchup coverage
• 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
