World Chalice Deck #759744 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 45/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 5 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tune Warrior plus a Level 3 Normal Monster (Chosen by the World Chalice) into Mighty Warrior, or a Level 4 pair into Kachi Kochi Dragon, then press with Link and Xyz attackers; Traffic Ghost and Gaia Saber as Link beaters on a board that the removal suite has cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Unexpected Dai, which can only summon a Normal Monster (Level 4 or lower) while you control no monsters, to put a Normal Monster on board; then add a second body and make a Synchro or Xyz if the hand allows
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a removal trap or spell (Dust Tornado, Ballista Squad, Shield Crush, Smashing Ground) on the opponent's first threat, then rebuild with a Normal Monster from hand
• Recovery: Skill Successor can be banished from the Graveyard to give a monster +800 ATK, and Call of the Haunted can revive a Graveyard monster; both are text-only lines with no recorded boards
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so the deck has no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: 12 Normal Monsters plus 3 Unexpected Dai give about a 92 percent chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred from hypergeometric odds). It converts through two text-only lines (Tune Warrior with a Level 3 Normal into Mighty Warrior, and a Level 4 pair into Kachi Kochi Dragon) with no recorded boards to confirm them, so the ceiling is modest. Its strength is the seven removal-style card types across 14 copies, giving real end-board interaction, while the 9 vanilla-leaning Normal Monsters and the 0-card side keep its grind and post-side scores low. Popularity did not earn points: the deck runs only 1 of the 25 archetype core cards in the usage statistics, and the score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the whole system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 80 / Toolbox 20 (approximate). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Non-standard core (-3); No post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*50 + 0.20*48 = 49.6, then context modifiers -5 = 44.6, rounded to 45

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.27 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Starter density: 15 starter cards (12 Normal Monsters plus 3 Unexpected Dai) in a 40-card Main Deck
• Removal-style breadth: 14 copies across seven card types
• Five single-copy Extra Deck options that cover Link, Synchro and Xyz roles
• Simple, low-complexity play pattern

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Nine Normal Monsters are vanilla bodies that give little value beyond a board presence
• No searcher or draw; the deck relies on the opening hand
• No recorded boards; the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• Lacks 24 of the 25 archetype core cards in the usage statistics

Critical choke points

• Unexpected Dai (3 copies) is the only card that can summon a Normal Monster from the Deck while the board is empty
• Mighty Warrior depends on Tune Warrior (3 copies) being in hand alongside a Level 3 Normal Monster

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main, 5 Extra, 0 Side within Master Duel size rules; all cards Unlimited; Card text and stats for all 21 distinct cards; Usage statistics: 1 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: Starter probability about 0.92 and Dai alone about 0.34 in a 5-card opening hand; Key two-card combo probability about 0.27 (Dai plus a Normal Monster); Full-brick estimate about 0.08; Vanilla-body and removal-role reads from card text; Mighty Warrior and Kachi Kochi Dragon lines from text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No recorded boards, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first or going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates); those figures are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
