Lunalight Deck #752001 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 67/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Lunalight Fusion bosses from the Extra Deck (Lunalight Leo Dancer x3, Liger Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Panther Dancer) that can attack twice and are hard to target or destroy by card effects.; Xyz pressure from Tiger King, Broadbull and Eclipse Twins, which the Lunalight starters can fuel.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a 1-card Lunalight starter (Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Silver Hound, Gold Leo or Emerald Bird) and search or recycle into a Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion line; hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash, Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Fusion or Xyz bosses through the Lunalight recursion pieces.
• Recovery: Recycle Lunalight monsters from the GY and banishment with Perfume Dancer, Silver Hound, Emerald Bird and Yellow Marten, and re-Fusion from Lunalight Fusion or Luna Light Perfume.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is single-game with a fixed 0-card side, so no in-match adaptation exists.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a live Lunalight engine reliably: its one-card starters (Black Sheep x3, Kaleido Chick x2, Silver Hound x2, Gold Leo, Emerald Bird, Yellow Marten, Tiger, Wolf) and the Lunalight archetype core give an inferred P(at least one Lunalight in a 5-card hand) of about 0.98, while any single named starter is only about 0.34 to 0.24 per copy. Its strongest parts are interaction density (19 negation-text cards, nine hand traps, Forbidden Droplet and Dominus Impulse) and an Extra Deck of 3500 to 3800 ATK fusion bosses that are hard to answer with card effects. The recorded-combo evidence is empty, so the combo ceiling and median are read from card text only and remain Inferred. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power measured on the whole system, not from Lunalight being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores; the 16 off-archetype main-deck copies (Zoodiac, Dominus, Fire Formation, Tri-Brigade, Forbidden) cost efficiency and brick management rather than adding to the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 70, Going First ≈ 75, Going Second ≈ 71, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 68. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); off-archetype engine conflicts (-3); engine compactness (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-3); Meta provisional (no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense 1-card Lunalight starters give high opening-hand access
• Nine hand traps and layered negation for interaction
• Extra Deck bosses at 3500-3800 ATK with second attacks

Weaknesses

• Off-archetype Zoodiac, Dominus, Fire Formation and Tri-Brigade copies dilute coherence
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unknown
• Zero side deck means no in-match adaptation

Critical choke points

• Single copies of Lunalight Fusion, Luna Light Perfume and Masquerade gate the fusion route
• Limited-status Foolish Burial and Zoodiac Broadbull at the legal maximum

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status with main 40, extra 15, side 0; Restricted copies within legal limits (Foolish Burial, Zoodiac Broadbull, Zoodiac Ratpier); Card text and stats of every listed card; Archetype usage inclusion percentages; Composition counts (8 Fusion, 2 Link, 5 Xyz; purity 41.8 percent)
• Observed: Usage stats show core Lunalight cards present in nearly every archetype list
• Inferred: P(at least one starter) ~0.98 and per-starter ~0.34 from hypergeometric proxy; Negation and interaction quality read from card text; Floor and ceiling estimates from text only; Going-first and going-second power blends
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (archetype share only; no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No recorded combo boards: 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Usage matching reports Extra Deck cards (Leo Dancer x3, Little Knight, Number 60, Liger Dancer, Cross-Sheep, Perfume Dancer) as in_this_deck false and lists them as missing core even though the cards list shows them in the Extra Deck; the usage core count (14 of 25) therefore understates real core presence Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty, so no post-side data exists
