Clown Crew Deck #757219 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute-summon chains through Clown Crew Cappello, Rehearsal and Flair into Clown Crew Biancaviso (2500 ATK) and the Extra Deck link/synchro/fusion bodies, with Clown Crew Dristy granting a second attack to Tribute Summoned monsters.; Runick Quick-Play spells that negate or destroy one monster and banish the opponent's Deck, followed by a Runick Extra Deck Special Summon to keep the board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Clown Crew starter (Rehearsal, Flair, Cappello or Fuwalos) to reach a Tribute Summon, then convert into Biancaviso or a Clown Crew Extra Deck monster; hold a Runick Quick-Play or Ash Blossom for the opponent's first response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx "C" or a Runick Quick-Play spell to interrupt the opponent's first summon or set, then rebuild through Clown Crew New Face and Matinee Operatics.
• Recovery: Banish Runick spells and Clown Crew cards from the GY (Flair, Finale, Operatics) and Clown Crew New Face's recursion to reload the board after an interruption.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 side cards), so no post-side plan is evaluated; the deck is played unchanged between games.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Clown Crew starter: the archetype-core group has about 0.987 probability of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and eight main-deck starters run 3 copies each (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate). Its ceiling comes from Tribute-summon chains into Biancaviso and the Extra Deck bodies, with Dristy adding a second attack, but no recorded boards exist, so the conversion and median scores rest on card text alone. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: Ash Blossom, Maxx "C", Biancaviso, and six Runick Quick-Play removal or negation spells give layered responses on both turns (Inferred from text). The score is not earned by popularity or meta-share, and it is not the average of individual card scores; the deck has no side deck, no tournament data, and two known choke points (Rehearsal and Malabarisme), and the Runick skip-Battle-Phase cost conflicts with the Tribute attack plan, which holds the score in the mid-50s.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Eight starters at three copies each give high opening-hand starter access.
• Layered interaction: hand traps plus six Runick Quick-Play removal or negation spells.
• Strong card flow from searchers, draw effects and GY recursion.

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation.
• Dead-draw risk from Runick Quick-Play spells and the single Malabarisme copy.
• Runick skip-Battle-Phase cost conflicts with the Tribute attack plan.

Critical choke points

• Clown Crew Rehearsal and Clown Crew Malabarisme are the reported choke points in the guide (Observed guide snippet, Vietnamese source).
