Clown Crew Deck #759316 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew Rehearsal and Malabarisme recover Clown Crew bodies (Biancaviso, Cappello, Flair) and Extra Deck Synchro/Fusion bosses (Nerva, Albion, Ecclesia, Malong) that convert board advantage into 2500-3300 ATK pressure.; Card advantage from Maxx C, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Clown Crew Matinee Operatics draws, plus Fydraulis Harmonia removal on tributed or summoned monsters.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Clown Crew Rehearsal or Malabarisme search/summon line, use Cappello and Flair to set up a Biancaviso or Ecclesia summon, and hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler or Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first summon, then rebuild a board through Biancaviso's negate and Clown Crew summons.
• Recovery: Recover from a lost board by banishing Rehearsal from the GY for a Ritual Summon, using Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Matinee Operatics draws, and re-searching Clown Crew cards through Flair and Finale.
• After siding: No side deck is registered in this export; Master Duel decks are fixed, so no post-side plan can be scored.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan through its engine core: 6 copies of Clown Crew Rehearsal and Malabarisme give about a 51% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 28 archetype-core copies plus 12 hand traps keep most hands able to do something. Its ceiling is set by the Extra Deck bosses, Nerva, Albion, Ecclesia and Biancaviso, which turn Clown Crew summons into 2500 to 3300 ATK pressure. The interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru) earns the highest dimension score, because it survives disruption across the turn and into the opponent's board. The score does not come from Clown Crew being a popular archetype, which earned nothing on its own, and it does not come from averaging the individual card scores. Median output, going-second strength and matchup fit remain Inferred or Provisional because the export has no combos, no tournament link and no win-rate telemetry.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; Midrange weights used as-is. Structural ≈ 61.5, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.51 · 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 interaction: 12 hand traps plus Biancaviso and Herald negates answer both summons and activations
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Nerva, Albion, Ecclesia, Biancaviso) for conversion once the engine is live
• Redundant draw and search (Mulcharmy, Matinee Operatics, Flair, Finale) support grind

Weaknesses

• Brick risk: hand traps are dead when the opponent is not acting, and 14 Level 0 cards add clutter
• Choke point on Rehearsal and Malabarisme, the main engine starters, with a low opening-hand hit rate
• Pilotability is demanding: many optional timing decisions and multi-step Pendulum/Ritual/Synchro lines
• Off-archetype slots (30 copies) dilute engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Opening-hand access to Clown Crew Rehearsal or Malabarisme (about 51%)
• Single Limited/Semi-Limited copies of Maxx C and Herald of the Arc Light cannot be reused if removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 is within Master Duel size rules; All 4 restricted cards run at or below their legal copy limits; Nerva, Albion, Ecclesia and Biancaviso ATK values
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (≈0.51) and hand-trap effectiveness; Interaction density and going-second value from card text; Recovery and grind via GY recursion
• Provisional: Meta power (null); Matchup fit and tournament reliability; Median output without recorded boards
• 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 exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the deck name is unavailable
