Lunalight Deck #750282 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion-summoned Lunalight bosses (Liger Dancer 3800, Leo Dancer 3500, Sabre Dancer 3000) enabled by Heavy Polymerization, Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion; Xyz and Link boards (Zoodiac and Eclipse Twins / Dugares / Drident) as a non-Fusion backup route
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight starter (Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick or Masquerade) and use its searches to reach a Polymerization-type fusion or a Perfume Dancer; Inferred from card text, no board data
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Lunalight GY-recursion (Emerald Bird, Yellow Marten, Silver Hound, Perfume Dancer banish) to rebuild a board after the opponent's first turn; no hand traps, so the plan depends on resources, not interaction
• Recovery: Recurse Lunalight monsters from the GY and banish, re-searching Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion from the GY or Deck (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is run (0 cards); no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens Lunalight starters: 19 exact-name Lunalight copies give P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.97, and 12 searcher-text cards give about 0.85 (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from Fusion bosses (Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Sabre Dancer) enabled by three Heavy Polymerization plus Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion, and its recovery comes from Lunalight GY-recursion effects, so D5 and D6 carry the structural score. Interaction is mostly reactive negation spells with no hand traps or floodgates, which holds D7 and D8 down, particularly going second. No combo boards, win rates, tournament data or side deck exist, so the median and matchup scores are inferred and the meta score is provisional. The score comes from consistency, recovery and closing power on the system, not from Lunalight being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores; the 36 off-archetype copies (Zoodiac, Forbidden, Book of, Fire Formation) lower D10 and add brick risk.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59.8, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Empty side deck (-2); Limited-status exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*59.8 + 0.20*54 - 3 = 55.7, rounded to 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Archetype core is dense: 19 exact-name Lunalight copies make a starter very likely in opening hands (Inferred)
• Three Fusion boss monsters at 3000 to 3800 ATK plus second-attack text give high closing power
• Multiple Lunalight GY-recursion effects give resilience after a single disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• No hand traps or floodgates, so going-second interaction is reactive only
• Off-archetype spell bloat (Zoodiac, Forbidden, Book of, Triple Tactics) lowers coherence and adds brick risk (Inferred)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation

Critical choke points

• Fusion enablers: Heavy Polymerization x3, Polymerization x1 and Lunalight Fusion x1 are the only Fusion-summon routes into the boss monsters
• Going second with no board-breaking hand interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Limited and Semi-Limited cards run at legal copies; Composition: 22 distinct Main, 14 distinct Extra; exact-name purity 34.5%; Usage-stat archetype core present 14 of 25 (56%)
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.97 from hypergeometric archetype-core estimate; Recovery and resilience from Lunalight GY-recursion card text; Going-second weakness from absence of hand traps and floodgates; Fusion-boss closing power from card text and stats
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit D13 and tournament reliability are provisional
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first or second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Usage-stat in_this_deck flags disagree with the resolved card list for several Extra Deck cards (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, S:P Little Knight, Dugares, Perfume Dancer, Cross-Sheep, Panther Dancer, Broadbull); the resolved deck list was used Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
