Lunalight Deck #750648 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Lunalight Fusion Dancers (Liger 3800 ATK, Leo 3500, Panther 2800, Sabre 3000) that can attack twice, enabled by Fusion Summons through Heavy Polymerization, Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion.; Beast-Warrior boards built through Tri-Brigade Fraktall, Fire Fist Tiger King and Fire Formation - Tenki.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 search with Black Sheep, Gold Leo or Kaleido Chick, then Fusion Summon a Lunalight Dancer through Heavy Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion, with Polymerization fetched by Black Sheep as backup.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle to stop the opponent's starter, then rebuild with a Lunalight search and the same Fusion line.
• Recovery: Recover Lunalight monsters from the GY through Luna Light Perfume, Lunalight Yellow Marten and Black Sheep, then re-Fusion from the GY.
• After siding: None. The list runs no side deck and Master Duel is single-game, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a Lunalight starter in about 99% of going-first 5-card hands (hypergeometric over the archetype core, Inferred) and has 13 searcher-text cards, so the engine becomes live reliably. Its ceiling comes from Lunalight Fusion Dancers at 2800-3800 ATK with second attacks, but there are no recorded boards, so the floor and median are inferred from card text only. Five hand traps (three Ash Blossom, two Ghost Belle) and layered Lunalight recursion give it resilience to a single disruption. Off-plan Speedroid, Zoodiac and Tri-Brigade sub-engines dilute the core, and popularity or archetype usage was not used as evidence of power; the score is for the system, not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: engine_conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-4); Meta provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Starter density: about 99% of going-first hands contain a Lunalight core card (Inferred).
• Redundant searchers (13 searcher-text cards) keep the engine accessible.
• High-ATK Fusion Dancers with second attacks provide closing power.
• Five hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Ghost Belle x2) give interaction.

Weaknesses

• Speedroid Terrortop x3 has one legal search target (Taketomborg x1), so it is often dead.
• Only five Fusion-enabling spells, so Fusion access depends on draws and searches.
• Seven off-plan Extra Deck cards (Xyz, Link, Fusion) dilute the engine.
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation.

Critical choke points

• Fusion-spell access (Heavy Polymerization x3, Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion) at about 0.51 going first (Inferred).
• Lunalight Fusion x1 is a single Fusion-enabling copy; losing it to a hand trap or handtrap-stopped line removes a route.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all restricted cards within legal_copies.; Card text for Speedroid Terrortop, Heavy Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion.; Composition counts: 24 Lunalight-exact copies, 43.6 percent exact-name purity.
• Observed: Usage statistics show Lunalight core inclusion (archetype stats, not win rate).
• Inferred: Starter access 0.99 and Fusion-spell access 0.51 (hypergeometric).; Floor and median output, and combo ceiling from text only.; Interaction and resilience scores from hand-trap count and card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13).; Post-side plan (D12), as no side deck is run.
• 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, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred. Data inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Lunalight Perfume Dancer, Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Dugares, S:P Little Knight as not in this deck, but cards[] lists them as present (copies 1-2). The in_this_deck flags look stale; the card list was used. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
