Lunalight Deck #756867 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a Lunalight boss (Liger Dancer 3800 ATK, Leo Dancer 3500 ATK, Sabre Dancer 3000 ATK, Panther Dancer 2800 ATK), most of which can attack twice, after Lunalight starters convert through Polymerization-family spells and Lunalight Wolf's field-to-Extra Fusion.; Xyz and Link Extra Deck bodies (Eclipse Twins, Dugares, Little Knight, Cross-Sheep) for board presence when Fusion access is blanked.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight Gold Leo, Black Sheep or Masquerade to search and set up a Fusion spell (Lunalight Fusion, Heavy Polymerization, Polymerization); if no Fusion spell is in hand, use Gold Leo and Black Sheep to fetch Polymerization from Deck.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Maxx "C" as hand traps against the opponent's first starter, then convert the surviving Lunalight starter into a Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Lunalight monsters recur from GY through Luna Light Perfume, Lunalight Tiger, Yellow Marten and Silver Hound, and Black Sheep can add a Lunalight from the GY to hand.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan is available; the deck relies on its main-deck hand traps and Fusion coverage.

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how the Lunalight system opens, converts, and recovers on the board, not from averaging its card scores or from its popularity. Access is strong for the archetype core, which is present in the opening hand with near certainty, but the Fusion-spell bottleneck is real: five Fusion-enabling spells give roughly 51% odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand and about 58% when going second. The Extra Deck converts well once a Fusion lands, with several boss bodies that are hard to answer and that attack twice, which earns the closing and going-second scores. Interaction is dense (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Silver Hound, Lunalight Wolf and Tiger negation text), and recursion from the graveyard gives real interruption resilience. The main limits are the lack of any recorded boards, the empty side deck, and some off-archetype support (Mulcharmy, Fire Formation, Tri-Brigade) that dilutes engine coherence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 71, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: engine compactness (2); engine conflicts / off-archetype dilution (-2); banlist exposure (-1); no post-side plan (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 64.95 → 65, TR 56, modifiers −2)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Archetype core present in nearly every opening hand (P≈0.9998).
• Dense interaction: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Silver Hound, Lunalight Wolf and Tiger negation text.
• Boss Fusion monsters with high ATK and double-attack or untargetable text.
• Graveyard recursion gives resilience after interruption.

Weaknesses

• Only about 51% of 5-card hands contain a Fusion-enabling spell.
• Empty side deck gives no post-side or best-of-3 adjustment.
• Off-archetype support dilutes engine coherence (exact-name purity 50.9%).
• No recorded boards or meta data to confirm floor or matchup performance.

Critical choke points

• Fusion-enabling spells: five copies total (Lunalight Fusion 1, Heavy Polymerization 3, Polymerization 1), with about 51% opening-hand access.
• Hand traps must be used on the opponent's first starter; a missed interaction leaves the engine exposed.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts respected.; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 5 Xyz, 2 Link (sums to 15).; Main Deck copy histogram 8/7/6 singletons, twos and threes.; Lunalight Dancer ATK values from card data (3800, 3500, 3000, 2800).
• Inferred: Fusion-enabler opening-hand odds (≈0.507 going first, ≈0.577 going second).; Interaction density from negation and removal text tags.; Going-second hand-trap value and boss-closing power from text.; Zoodiac Xyz are playable as rank-4 Xyz from Level 4 Lunalight monsters.
• Provisional: Meta power is null; matchup fit (D13) is neutral pending a dated meta sample.; D4 floor/median is a neutral placeholder because no boards exist.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; 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 and going-second split is Inferred. Usage statistics core matching ignores Extra Deck: Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Little Knight, Dugares, Cross-Sheep and Zoodiac Drident are in this deck's Extra Deck but flagged in_this_deck=false; only Guardian Chimera is truly absent from the core. Side deck is empty; no post-side data. Guide evidence is one Vietnamese snippet with no sections; used only for context. Masquerade (3 vs typical 2) and Black Sheep (3 vs typical 2) run above archetype-typical counts. Deck title is null.
