Lunalight Deck #751107 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Leo/Liger/Perfume/Cat/Panther/Sabre Dancer (3000-3800 ATK) off Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion, then attack through the board with multi-attack and destruction effects; Xyz Dugares the Timeless and Lunalight recursion engines grinding through the Graveyard
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight searcher (Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Yellow Marten, Kaleido Chick) to add Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion, fuse into a Dancer, then protect the board with Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Dominus Impulse to stop the opponent's first Special Summon or search, then rebuild through Masquerade and Perfume Dancer recursion
• Recovery: Recycle Lunalight monsters from the Graveyard and banish through Lunalight Masquerade, Luna Light Perfume and Yellow Marten to restart Fusion Summons
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system, not from averaging card scores or from Lunalight being a popular archetype: 29 archetype-core copies give a 99.9% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 15 searcher-text cards give about 92%, so the engine usually goes live on turn 1 (Inferred from hypergeometric draw odds). Four hand traps (three Ash Blossom, one Maxx C) and two Dominus Impulse give real interaction, though the going-second hand-trap hit rate is only about 49% (Inferred). Recursion (Lunalight Masquerade, Luna Light Perfume, Yellow Marten) lets the deck rebuild after disruption, and the Fusion Dancers (3000-3800 ATK, multi-attack) carry the closing power. Scores are held back by 27 off-archetype copies (Mulcharmy, Tri-Brigade, Fire Formation, Dominus) whose conditions conflict with a Lunalight field, two Zoodiac Xyz with no Zoodiac monsters to enable them, no side deck, and no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are Inferred rather than Observed.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile; Midrange cited as secondary only, not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 69, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 66. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflicts (-3); dead_extra_slots (-2); engine_compactness (3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*69.1 + 0.20*66 - 4 = 64.5 -> 64

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Dense Lunalight searcher package (15 searcher-text cards) keeps the opening hand live
• Four hand traps plus two Dominus Impulse provide interaction on both turns
• Recursion via Masquerade, Perfume, and Yellow Marten rebuilds after a board is cleared
• Fusion Dancers give 3000-3800 ATK closers with multi-attack

Weaknesses

• 49% off-archetype purity dilutes the engine; Mulcharmy conflicts with a field-dependent Lunalight plan
• Two Zoodiac Xyz are close to dead without Zoodiac monsters in the main deck
• No side deck, so no adaptation between games
• Heavy fusion-chain pilotability burden

Critical choke points

• Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion are the only single-copy-to-two-copy fusion enablers; losing both to a single hand trap or Forbidden Droplet stalls the Dancer line
• Ash Blossom answers the Lunalight searcher on turn 1 and has no backup negation beyond Dominus Impulse

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 40/15/0 size, and Limited status for Maxx C, Foolish Burial, and Zoodiac Broadbull (legality block); Card text and stats for every listed card (cards block); Extra-Deck breakdown: 10 Fusion, 2 Link, 3 Xyz (composition)
• Inferred: D1 consistency: 0.9993 archetype-core and 0.919 searcher hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction and recursion quality from card text; Going-second board-breaking from hand trap density and Liger Dancer text; Combo ceiling and median from text only, since no recorded boards exist
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; D13 matchup fit is a neutral placeholder with no tournament or meta-share data; D12 side adaptability is low because no side deck exists and no post-side data exists
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference usage_statistics marks Lunalight Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Zoodiac Drident and Zoodiac Broadbull as in_this_deck=false although they appear in cards with copies 1-2; extra-deck matching in usage_statistics looks broken, so missing_core for Extra cards is unreliable no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — brick, starter, and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck registered, so best-of-3 post-side is unavailable for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
