World Legacy Deck #751406 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards (Orcustrion 3000 ATK, Dingirsu, Break Sword, Rusty Bardiche) built through Orcust and Phantom Knights searchers and GY recursion; Rank-up chains through Raider's Knight and Launch into higher-rank Phantom Knights Xyz monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon a Level 3 or 4 Phantom Knights or Orcust starter, bridge into a Link monster through Orcust Brass Bombard or Girsu, then Xyz or Link into a boss while using Fog Blade or Crescendo as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Rely on recursion from the GY (Silent Boots, Cloven Helm, Harp Horror) to rebuild after the opponent's first turn; no hand traps, so the plan depends on surviving to the second engine
• Recovery: Banish GY monsters for Harp Horror, Cymbal Skeleton, Raider's Wing and Mist Claws to re-summon and reach Link or Xyz material again
• After siding: No side deck in Master Duel; the post-game plan is the same list, so sequencing matters more than adaptation

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens on its searchers: 14 searcher-text cards give about a 0.90 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the Phantom Knights and Orcust starters are usually reachable on turn one. Recursion from the GY (Silent Boots, Cloven Helm, Harp Horror, Cymbal Skeleton) lets the deck rebuild after a single disruption, which is what earns most of its points. Interaction is real but thin: 29 removal-text and 7 negation-text cards are present, yet the list has no hand traps and no going-second disruption, so it struggles when the opponent moves first on a board. Its ceiling (Orcustrion, Dingirsu, Break Sword) is strong but has no recorded boards to confirm the median, and the score is not based on World Legacy's usage share or on averaging card scores. Structural power is about 56 and the final score is about 54 with Meta provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: No hand traps or going-second disruption (-2); Limited cards legal at 1 copy (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers

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

• Searcher density (14 cards) makes the engine reachable on most openings
• GY recursion across Phantom Knights and Orcust gives multiple routes after disruption
• Layered interaction: removal text plus Fog Blade and Orcust Crescendo

Weaknesses

• No hand traps, so going-second disruption is weak
• Cross-engine build (exact archetype purity 5.5%) with no recorded boards to confirm the median
• No side deck in Master Duel, so no post-game adaptation

Critical choke points

• Orcust Link monsters as the bridge into Xyz and Link boss monsters
• Single-copy Launch and Girsu as the only way into some high-rank Xyz lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Foolish Burial and Reinforcement of the Army are Limited at 1 copy each; Composition: 14 searcher-text, 7 negation-text, 29 removal-text, 0 hand traps; Archetype purity: 5.5% exact-name, 23 Phantom Knights and 14 Orcust copies
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.90 from searcher-text group; Consistency estimate from 3-copy starter odds (~0.34 each); Going-second weakness from absence of hand traps and Ash/Droll-type cards; Closing power from Orcustrion, Dingirsu and Break Sword text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament link); Median output and side adaptability (no combos, no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second and matchup rates are unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; the list has no side deck (Master Duel format)
