Greed Deck #762028 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon a Warrior-type boss (Colossal Fighter, Nitro Warrior, Turbo Warrior) from Synchron tuners and Warrior non-tuners, then attack with Speed Warrior / Max Warrior pressure.; Direct ATK pressure from Speed Warrior (doubled ATK after a Normal Summon) and Max Warrior once the board is cleared with Mystical Space Typhoon, Half Shut and Synchro Blast Wave.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Junk Synchron or Turbo/Nitro Synchron to reach a Tuner, then Synchro into a boss while using MST or Half Shut on the opponent's backrow or monster.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Kunai with Chain, Synchro Deflector or Limiter Overload from the Graveyard to disrupt the attack, then rebuild a Synchro board with Warrior recursion from The Warrior Returning Alive and Tasuke Knight.
• Recovery: Recover Warrior-type monsters from the Graveyard (The Warrior Returning Alive, Colossal Fighter's GY effect, Tasuke Knight once per Duel) and redraw with Shard of Greed and Nitro Synchron.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably reaches a Tuner in hand with about 64% odds going first (7 Tuner copies across Junk, Turbo and Nitro Synchron, P(≥1 in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.64 from the hypergeometric estimate, Inferred) and then has several Synchro bosses, so its opening is serviceable. Its interaction is broad but partly conditional: Mystical Space Typhoon, Half Shut, Synchro Blast Wave, Kunai with Chain and Synchro Deflector cover the board, and Warrior recursion through The Warrior Returning Alive and Tasuke Knight gives it some resilience after disruption. Its conversion ceiling is modest because no recorded boards exist and the Synchro bosses are mostly generic Warriors, so the score comes from consistency, interaction and compactness on the system, not from averaging card strength. The 'Greed' label earns no credit: only 2 of 40 Main Deck cards carry the exact Greed name, and the usage-statistics block shows Nephthys core cards, which this list does not run, so popularity did not add points. With no Side Deck and no meta sample, the score is capped by weak post-side adaptability and a provisional matchup read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weighting applied (Structural computed on Midrange weights only). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 47, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*54 + 0.20*48 = 52.8, plus modifiers -3 = 49.8, rounded to 50

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · 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

• Seven Tuner copies across three Synchron tuners give a reasonable chance of a Synchro on turn 1-2.
• Broad interaction (MST ×3, Half Shut ×3, Synchro Deflector ×2, Synchro Blast Wave ×2, Kunai with Chain ×2) and a compact, low-copy-spread 40-card Main Deck.
• Warrior recursion (The Warrior Returning Alive, Tasuke Knight, Colossal Fighter GY effect) gives a second line after disruption.

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptation between games.
• Only 2 of 40 Main cards carry the Greed name; the archetype identity is thin and the deck is mostly generic Warrior/Synchro.
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and cannot be validated.
• Several conditional cards (Synchro Blast Wave, Kunai with Chain, Synchro Deflector, Limiter Overload) need a Synchro or a Graveyard send before they do anything.
• No hand traps; going second relies on conditional interaction.

Critical choke points

• A Tuner in hand or the Synchro Monster on board: several interaction cards and the Extra Deck bosses need a Synchro, so a hand with no Tuner is a dead hand.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 5 Extra, 0 Side within size rules for master-duel; all cards Unlimited.; Card texts for MST, Half Shut, Synchro Deflector, Synchro Blast Wave, Kunai with Chain, The Warrior Returning Alive, Limiter Overload and the Synchro bosses.; Copy histogram: 1×1, 2×12, 3×5; Extra Deck is 5 Synchro monsters.
• Inferred: Opening-hand Tuner probability ≈ 0.64 going first and ≈ 0.71 going second (hypergeometric).; Median and ceiling output from text reads only; no recorded boards exist.; Consistency and brick estimates from composition and card text.
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame or tournament sample.; Matchup Coverage D13 = 50 is a placeholder pending a dated sample.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. usage_statistics lists a 25-card Nephthys core for archetype 'Greed' (0 of 25 present); the mapping looks wrong for this deck, so the statistic is ignored. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates). Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Deck title is null.
