Labrynth Deck #751708 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Normal Trap chains remove or negate opposing monsters while Labrynth monsters and Lady/Lovely Labrynth (3000/2900 ATK) convert the board into attack pressure.; Extra Deck Synchro and Link threats (Chaos Angel x2, Underworld Goddess listed in the card list) as follow-up boards when Normal Trap resources are spent.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Labrynth monster, Normal Summon or activate effects that Set a Normal Trap (Arias, Arianna, Stovie Torbie, Cooclock), then chain Welcome/Big Welcome Labrynth to clear the opposing monster and add or recycle Labrynth pieces.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Infinite Impermanence x2, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion x1) and Ice Dragon's Prison to answer the first board, then rebuild with Labrynth monsters from Deck or GY.
• Recovery: Recycle Normal Traps and Labrynth monsters from the GY via Stovie Torbie, Chandraglier and Arias GY effects, re-Set Normal Traps, and rebuild the Labrynth engine.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck (Duel Links format, side cap 0-9 with 0 run). Post-game adaptation is not measured here.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Labrynth engine: 11 Labrynth monsters in 30 main-deck cards give roughly a 92% chance of at least one in the opening five (Inferred hypergeometric estimate, with a going-second estimate near 95%). Its Normal Trap package (11 Normal Traps including Welcome and Big Welcome Labrynth, Ice Dragon's Prison, Infinite Impermanence, Dogmatika Punishment, Terrors of the Overroot) plus recursion through Stovie Torbie, Chandraglier, Cooclock and Arias converts the early board into repeatable interaction and resource recovery, which earns the D6 and D7 scores. Floor and median output cannot be verified because no recorded boards exist, so those scores are text-based and low-confidence. Closing power depends on Lady and Lovely Labrynth reaching the board and on Chaos Angel, which needs Synchro materials; Super Starslayer TY-PHON's Level 12 material requirement is unlikely to be met by this list, so that Extra Deck slot is largely dead. Popularity and usage data (the core archetype cards appear in every sampled list) confirm the list is real but earn no power points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Dead Extra Deck slot (-2); Normal Trap brick exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Layered Normal Trap engine with GY recursion
• Three hand traps plus Ice Dragon's Prison and Terrors of the Overroot for interaction
• High copy count of Labrynth monsters gives reliable opening starters
• Lady and Lovely Labrynth provide 3000/2900 ATK closers

Weaknesses

• Eleven Normal Traps and a field spell are dead without a monster on board
• Super Starslayer TY-PHON is effectively unusable without Level 12 materials
• Only 43.6% exact-name Labrynth purity; generic and off-archetype slots dilute the engine
• No recorded boards, so the conversion and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Labrynth monsters in the opening hand (the engine does not start without one)
• Chaining Normal Trap activations, which needs the Labrynth monster's Quick Effect to be available

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Duel Links: main 30 (cap 30), extra 9 (cap 9), side 0; no violations; Bystial Druiswurm is Semi-Limited at 2 copies, which is legal; Card text excerpts for Labrynth, Normal Trap and hand-trap cards; Labrynth exact-name purity 43.6%
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (≈0.92 going first, ≈0.95 going second); Brick and recursion assessments from card text; Going-second hand-trap coverage (≈0.50)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and side-deck adaptability (no tournament or post-side data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list for Chaos Angel, Muckraker, Underworld Goddess, Elder Entity N'tss and Berfomet (the card list shows copies in the Extra Deck); the card list was used Super Starslayer TY-PHON is not in the usage core list, so its usage cannot be confirmed
