Dragonmaid Deck #751435 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dragon Fusion beaters from the Dragonmaid and Light and Darkness Dragon lines, led by Dragonlord 3400 ATK, Sheou 3500 ATK, and House Dragonmaid 3000 ATK, with Cehrmba, Lorpar and Tinkhec at 2700-2800 ATK in the Main Deck.; Bystial Lubellion, Druiswurm, Magnamhut and Baldrake (2500 ATK each) via Dragon-tribute Special Summons and Bystial banish-from-GY summons.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dragonmaid searcher (Kitchen, Chamber, Lubellion or Magnamhut), go to the Battle Phase and return Kitchen or Parlor to hand for a level-8 Dragonmaid, then Fusion Summon a Dragonmaid boss from the Extra Deck.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler or Nibiru to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the board with Dragonmaid Hospitality and Dragon Fusion bosses.
• Recovery: Recover with Dragonmaid Changeover and Welcome from the GY, Branded Regained's draw, and Dragonmaid Tidying's GY banish summon; the recorded GY and banish signatures are zero, so this recovery is Inferred from card text.
• After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Dragonmaid starter: 13 searcher-text cards and the 9-copy archetype core give about a 74% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, so starter access (D1) is the strongest score. Its ceiling is moderate (best recorded line index 11 across only 6 combos) and its median is low (8.5, minimum 7), so the score reflects a low median rather than the ceiling. Seven hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Nibiru) and Sangen-free Dragonmaid recursion give it a plausible way to interrupt and recover, and the boss ATK spread gives it a closing threat. The score is held down by a 40-card list that is only 47% exact Dragonmaid and runs 19 of 25 archetype-core cards absent, by having no Side Deck, and by there being no board or interaction signal in the recorded combos. Popularity and archetype share were not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange, renormalized without D13 (meta-neutral structural score; raw weights sum to 95). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); engine conflicts (-2); non-standard build vs usage core (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta null/provisional; Structural = 5044/95 = 53.09)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex 11, median 8.5, board-per-starter 0
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Access to the starter: searcher density gives about 74% for a core card in a 5-card opener.
• Seven hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Nibiru) allow disruption and recovery.
• Strong closing bosses (2700-3500 ATK) across the Fusion, Link and Bystial lines.

Weaknesses

• Low median output (8.5, min 7) with a thin recorded ceiling (11).
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation.
• Only 47% exact-name Dragonmaid purity; 19 of 25 archetype-core cards are missing, so the engine is diluted.

Critical choke points

• The archetype-core opener: about a 26% chance of no core card in a 5-card hand.
• Heavy reliance on Dragonmaid level-8 summons and Dragon-tribute fusion materials.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; four Limited cards at one copy each (BanMasterDuel).; Card stats and text for each listed card; Extra Deck breakdown 10 Fusion, 4 Link, 1 Xyz.; Exact-name purity 47.3% and 6 of 25 core cards present.
• Observed: Best recorded line index 11 and median 8.5 across 6 combos (all gameplay unknown).; Average end hand 1.67 and average GY, banish 0 in recorded boards.
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.74 to 0.88 from hypergeometric draw odds.; Brick and interaction reads from card text and copy histogram.; Going-first and going-second scores from D1, D5, D7 and hand-trap odds.
• Provisional: D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta-share data); dropped from the structural score.
• Data gaps: No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates). Combo board metrics (board per starter, interaction density, going-first and going-second lines) are all zero or empty, so disruption and board signal are unmeasured. Deck title is null. No Side Deck, so D12 has no list to evaluate. Meta Power is provisional and null.
