Heroic Deck #746972 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large HERO bosses (Elemental HERO Neos line, Contrast HERO Chaos, Shining Neos Wingman) through Polymerization / Miracle Fusion / Mask Change-based searches, then convert the boss into board pressure; Link and Vision HERO pressure through Xtra HERO links and Vision HERO Faris / Vyon searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening search (Vision HERO Vyon, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, Elemental HERO Stratos or Mask Change / Polymerization) into a Fusion Summon on T1-T2; the T1 line is thin because Polymerization is only 2 copies
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's first-turn board, then rebuild through Neos recursion and a Fusion Summon; backed by Forbidden Droplet and Forbidden Crown as negation
• Recovery: Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, Elemental HERO Neos recursion, Destiny HERO - Denier and Miracle Fusion re-searches from the GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: it reliably reaches a Hero searcher or a Fusion starter in the opening hand (archetype core P(at least one in 5 cards) ≈ 0.94, searcher text P ≈ 0.72, both Inferred), which earns the top-tier engine-access score. Conversion is mid-range: Polymerization is only 2 copies (P ≈ 0.16 in a 5-card opener), so the Fusion route depends on searchers and alternate fusion spells, and there are no recorded boards to confirm a ceiling or median. Interaction is broad (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll, Forbidden Droplet and Crown) but thin on going-second board-breaking, and the 8 hand traps plus 17 tech cards create some dead-card risk. The deck earns no points for its popularity or its archetype usage stats (which only confirm it is a real list), and the average of its card scores was not used. The deck is Illegal in master-duel because Called by the Grave (Forbidden) is run, so the normal Final Contextual score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only, with no side deck to support post-side play.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-5). Final formula: Legal-cap: Illegal deck, so Final is capped low (30) after 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 54.8 with modifiers -5, then cap; Meta Provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.16 · 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

• Archetype core is dense enough that most opening hands contain a HERO starter or searcher
• Layered interaction through hand traps and negation spells
• Several independent searchers and recursion routes for resilience

Weaknesses

• Illegal in master-duel because of Called by the Grave (Forbidden)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Fusion route depends on 2-copy Polymerization and Extra Deck materials
• Many tech cards and off-archetype support (75 off-archetype copies) raise dead-draw risk

Critical choke points

• Polymerization and alternate fusion spells (Miracle Fusion, Mask Change) gate most boss summons
• Extra Deck material checks for Neos and Chaos lines
• Called by the Grave is an illegal copy that must be removed before the deck can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and size rules; Called by the Grave is Forbidden with 1 copy run (over limit); Limited cards present: Crossout Designator, Foolish Burial, Harpie's Feather Duster, Maxx C, Predaplant Verte Anaconda; Copy histogram 24x1, 9x2, 6x3; 26 level-0 Spell/Trap cards; 11 Fusion and 4 Link in Extra
• Observed: Usage-stat core present 16 of 25 (64%)
• Inferred: Archetype core opening-hand access ≈ 0.94 (hypergeometric proxy); Polymerization 2-copy access ≈ 0.16 in opener; Engine conversion and interaction quality from card text (no recorded boards); Brick and dead-draw rate from tech/hand-trap composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal (Called by the Grave Forbidden); the normal Final Contextual score is capped and this evaluation is structural-only no combos supplied, so combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so post-side scores are not measured no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; the writeup uses the archetype name Heroic
