Lunalight Deck #750641 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Xyz/Link
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer or Sabre Dancer, then attack with a second attack from Leo/Liger Dancer while the board is held by Forbidden negation and Luna Light Perfume recursion.; Xyz (Zoodiac, Dugares, Eclipse Twins) and Link (S:P Little Knight, Saryuja) boards that convert Lunalight Black Sheep and Kaleido Chick recursion into pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Lunalight starter (Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick or Gold Leo), search Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion, then fuse into a Dancer while keeping Forbidden Droplet or Crown for the opponent's response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown and Triple Tactics Talent to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Lunalight recursion (Emerald Bird, Silver Hound, Yellow Marten) and a late Dancer Fusion.
• Recovery: Recover from a broken hand by returning Lunalight monsters from the GY through Luna Light Perfume, Lunalight Masquerade and Lunalight Perfume Dancer's GY banish effect, and by searching Polymerization with Black Sheep.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no Side Deck (side count 0), so the post-side plan is absent.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its core: 18 Lunalight copies give a 96% chance of at least one Lunalight card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick and Gold Leo each start a Fusion route. Conversion is strong on the ceiling: Leo, Liger and Sabre Dancer plus Perfume Dancer give large closing bodies, and Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown and Lunalight Emerald Bird/Silver Hound give layered negation. The score rests on consistency, median output and interaction across the whole system, not on the popularity of Lunalight (the usage stats only confirm that the list is real and accessible) and not on an average of the card scores. Weaknesses are a low monster count (13 of 40 main cards with 27 spells) that raises brick risk, a split Zoodiac Xyz line that runs only 5 main-deck Zoodiac cards for 4 Zoodiac Xyz Extra Deck monsters, and no combo recordings, so the median is text-based only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: low_monster_count (-3); engine_conflict_zoodiac (-2); banlist_exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Core Lunalight engine is accessible: 96% of opening hands hold at least one Lunalight card (Inferred).
• Strong closing bodies in the Extra Deck: Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer and Sabre Dancer.
• Layered negation and removal from Forbidden Droplet/Crown, Silver Hound, Emerald Bird and Lunalight Wolf.
• Good GY recursion (Black Sheep, Masquerade, Perfume Dancer, Luna Light Perfume) keeps resources flowing.

Weaknesses

• Only 13 monsters in 40 main cards; spell-heavy hands can be non-functional.
• Zoodiac Xyz line is under-supported (5 Zoodiac main cards for 4 Zoodiac Xyz Extra monsters).
• No combo recordings or matchup data; the median and meta fit are inferred from text only.
• No sideboard in Master Duel, so no post-side adaptation.

Critical choke points

• Lunalight starter draw: each 2-copy starter has only about 24% odds to appear in a 5-card opening hand (going first).
• Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion access in hand, since the Dancer Fusions need it.
• Foolish Burial and Zoodiac Broadbull are one-copy Limited cards, so losing either to a banlist change would break a line.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status with 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side under Master Duel size rules; Copy limits: Foolish Burial Limited 1/1, Zoodiac Broadbull Limited 1/1, Zoodiac Ratpier Semi-Limited 2/2; Card text and stats for the 40 Main and 15 Extra cards; Archetype usage: Lunalight core present in the usage statistics
• Inferred: D1 consistency: 96% core access and 2-card bootstrap odds; D2 brick risk from 13 monsters in 40 cards; D3/D4 ceiling and median from text-only read (no combos); D7 interaction quality from negation and removal text; D8 going-second read from Droplet/Crown and no hand traps
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link; D12 side-deck adaptability: Master Duel has no side deck
• 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 deck title is null, so the archetype label is the only identity signal
