Elemental Hero Deck #756788 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 46/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Fusion/Link/Xyz
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Xyz boss monsters (Transcendosaurus Gigantozowler 3800 ATK, Idaten 3000 ATK, The Dark Magicians 2800 ATK) reached through Normal/Special Summon chains and the single Fusion Gate with three Chain Material; Galaxy Photon Dragon and Lancephorhynchus piercing damage once a board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Marauding Captain, Goblindbergh or Neo Space Connector to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster from hand, then build toward a Fusion, Link or Xyz boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use flip/removal effects (Old Vindictive Magician flip destroy, Trojan Blast, Mudora) and Special Summon bodies to answer the opponent's board, then extend into an Extra Deck boss
• Recovery: Recover through GY-banish effects and searchers (Tailwind of Gusto, The Phantom Knights of Silent Boots, Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter) to rebuild a second line
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel ladder list with 0 side-deck cards

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often: the searcher-text group has about a 0.65 chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the Normal Summon bodies (Marauding Captain, Goblindbergh, Neo Space Connector) give it several starts. Conversion is limited by the thin Fusion enabler set (one Fusion Gate, three Chain Material, no Polymerization in the list), so the boss monsters are reachable but not reliably. Interaction (14 removal-text cards, flip-destroy and Trojan Blast) and recursion keep it standing after one disruption, but there are no hand traps or floodgates and no side deck, so going-second and post-game adaptation score low. The 9.3% exact-name purity and only 7 of 25 usage-core cards present show this is a sub-archetype pile rather than a coherent Elemental HERO engine, and that drags Structural down. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; no card scores were averaged, and the score comes from consistency, interaction, and closing power on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 49.3, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.43 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Legal list with all copy limits respected (Mudora Limited at 1 copy)
• Broad Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Link and Xyz with high-ATK bosses
• Multiple Special Summon bodies and recursion give several independent starts
• 14 removal-text cards provide breadth of interaction

Weaknesses

• Only 9.3% exact-name Elemental HERO purity; the list is a sub-archetype pile
• Thin Fusion enablers (one Fusion Gate, no Polymerization) for six Fusion bosses
• 38 singleton main-deck slots raise brick and conflict risk
• No hand traps, no floodgates, and no side deck

Critical choke points

• Fusion Gate and Chain Material as the main Fusion enablers
• Normal Summon of a Level 4 starter to open the Special Summon chain

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side, Master Duel size rules met; Mudora the Sword Oracle is Limited and run at its 1 legal copy; Composition: 38 singletons, 2 two-of, 6 three-of; 9.3% exact-name purity; Usage-core presence 7/25 (28%)
• Observed: Usage-core inclusion values from usage_statistics (100% and 75% rows)
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities (hypergeometric; proxies only); Consistency, interaction quality and closing power readings; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (null; no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Post-side reliability (no side deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) — signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; no side deck present
