Yubel Deck #751669 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±8 · 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: Yubel engine: Spirit of Yubel, Yubel and Yubel - Terror Incarnate protect the board while Fiendsmith and Yubel Extra Deck monsters (Fiendsmith's Desirae, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar, Phantom of Yubel) close the game; Unchained and Fiendsmith link/fusion follow-up after a hand-trap or Nightmare Throne turn
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Samsara D Lotus, Opening of the Spirit Gates or Dark Beckoning Beast into a Yubel monster, then set Nightmare Throne or Nightmare Pain to protect the board and keep Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand traps, then use Spirit of Yubel or Samsara D Lotus as a going-second engine starter against the opponent's board
• Recovery: Spirit of Yubel revives banished or GY Yubel monsters, Samsara D Lotus and Nightmare Throne add Yubel from the GY, and Gruesome Grave Squirmer and Lacrima recur monsters
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no evidenced post-side plan; the deck runs its full 40-card main unchanged in every match

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine: the 29 archetype-core copies give P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of 0.9993, and 21 searcher-text cards give 0.98, so the Yubel plan is almost always reachable on turn 1 or 2 (Inferred from hypergeometric draws). Its interaction is layered across the whole turn: seven hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) plus Dominus Spark, Nightmare Pain and Yubel monsters give a going-second hand-trap probability of 0.71, and Spirit of Yubel and Samsara D Lotus recover the engine after disruption. The deck is held back by the absence of a side deck, conditional cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Dominus Spark) that can dead-draw, and a complete lack of recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and not measured. Archetype popularity (Yubel is the top stat row) confirms the list is real and accessible but earned no points on its own, and the score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from averaging the 20 distinct main-deck card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Yubel-monster choke point (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*65.1 + 0.20*60 - 2 = 62.1

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 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

• Engine reachable on turn 1 or 2 (core-group P 0.9993)
• Layered interaction: 3 hand traps plus Dominus Spark, Nightmare Pain and Yubel-monster negation
• Recursion through Spirit of Yubel, Samsara D Lotus and Nightmare Throne
• Compact 40-card main with 3-copy staples

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Conditional cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Dominus Spark) can dead-draw
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• High multi-step pilot complexity

Critical choke points

• Yubel-monster entry (4 main-deck copies) for Nightmare Throne, Phantom of Yubel and Yubel-based recursion
• Phantom of Yubel at its 2-copy Semi-Limited cap, which limits the Extra Deck follow-up

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within master-duel size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15, side 0-15); Phantom of Yubel is Semi-Limited with 2 legal copies and 2 run; All 40 main and 15 extra card entries and their copy counts match the evidence; Archetype core usage: Yubel (93.5%), Yubel - Terror Incarnate (83.9%), Nightmare Throne (83.9%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric consistency: P(core in hand5) 0.9993, P(searcher in hand5) 0.98, P(hand-trap in hand6) 0.71; Interaction and resilience scores from card text and hand-trap counts; Going-first and going-second power from the dimension blend; Recommendations to swap conditional cards are text-based
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample supplied; D13 matchup fit scored as a neutral placeholder
• Data gaps: No recorded combos (total_combos 0): 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 for going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter rates Usage statistics mark Aerial Eater as not in this deck, yet the card list shows 1 copy in the Extra Deck; the discrepancy is unresolved and was not used for scoring No Yubel ATK/DEF values in evidence (stats recorded as 0), so Yubel-monster board pressure is inferred from text No guides attached (total_guides 0) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
