ZEXAL Deck #747441 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Fusion/Link/Xyz boards (Predaplant Dragostapelia, Elemental HERO Electrum, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis) built from a Warrior-heavy starter package (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Warrior-chain pressure: Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter/Sparrer, Phantom Knights recursion and Gusto/Bamboo Sword equip damage (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 3-4 Warrior starter (Marauding Captain, Sublimation Knight, Fire Flint Lady) and use Zexal Construction or ZS - Ascended Sage to search a follow-up (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Limited interaction: Predaplant Dragostapelia negation and Rescue Ferret are the only on-board answers in the list; the plan relies on extending through Extra Deck boards (Inferred)
• Recovery: Banish Phantom Knights from the GY for searches, Tailwind of Gusto and Cursed Bamboo Sword recursion, Battlin' Boxer GY revival (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs 0 side cards and Master Duel does not use a side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Warrior-based starter package: three Marauding Captain, three Armageddon Knight, three Sublimation Knight, three ZS - Ascended Sage and sixteen searcher-text cards give roughly an 80% chance of at least one search in a five-card opening hand (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Conversion is the weak link: the deck has no recorded boards, so the Extra Deck ceiling (Dragostapelia, Electrum, Zealantis) is a text-based read and the median output is unknown. Interaction is thin, with one Rescue Ferret, one negation text card and no hand traps or floodgates, which lowers going-second strength. The score comes from consistency, redundancy and Extra Deck coverage across the system; the ZEXAL label and the presence of popular cards did not earn points, and the card scores were not averaged. Only 8% of the main deck carries the exact ZEXAL name, so engine cohesion is limited and the score is capped accordingly.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers (-3)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Legal 60/15/0 list with the only restricted card at legal copies (Reinforcement of the Army, 1 copy)
• Redundant Warrior starters and searchers give stable opening-hand access
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 2200-2900 ATK with broad Fusion/Link/Xyz coverage

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so conversion and median output are unverified
• Thin interaction: no hand traps or floodgates; going-second answers are limited
• Low engine cohesion: 8% exact-name purity across many sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Reliance on Warrior-level starters for T1 extension; losing one starter line removes the route
• Dragostapelia/Electrum fusion lines depend on a small set of material cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size (60/15/0) and copy limits; Reinforcement of the Army Limited at 1 copy; Card text, stats and archetype labels for every card; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 5 Link, 2 Xyz; Usage statistics available (33 rows); core present 72%
• Inferred: Starter accessibility estimate (~0.80 searcher group); Brick and redundancy estimates from copy histogram and card text; Going-second plan and interaction density from text; Fusion/Link board ceiling from Extra Deck text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament data); Side-deck adaptability (no side cards in Master Duel)
• 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 and matchup rates unknown Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
