Snake-Eye Deck #762140 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Snake-Eye Flamberge Dragon and Diabellstar the Black Witch pressure after Level 1 Snake-Eye starters open the board; Link and Synchro Yummy boards via Link-1 enablers (Yummy Snatchy, Linkuriboh, Salamangreat Almiraj)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 1 Snake-Eye starter (Ash, Oak, Poplar), search the next Snake-Eye or Spell/Trap, then summon Flamberge or a Link-1 to enable Yummy Synchro/Link follow-up
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle or Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Snake-Eye GY recursion
• Recovery: Recover through Snake-Eye Oak and Ash GY effects and Bonfire or Shining Sarcophagus searches
• After siding: No side deck is run (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is evaluated as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. Its Level 1 Snake-Eye and Yummy starters, plus the archetype core (about 99.5 percent chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, proxy estimate), give it reliable access to a starter. Hand traps and searchers (10 hand traps, 14 searcher-text cards) support resilience and redundant routes, which lift interruption resilience and engine accessibility. Conversion is held back by the absence of recorded boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inferences and both stay near the middle of the scale. Two engines run side by side (Snake-Eye and Yummy plus Mulcharmy 'no cards' effects), which lowers the efficiency and pilotability scores. Archetype popularity earned no points and the side deck is empty, so adaptability is low. The deck is Illegal (Snake-Eyes Poplar over the copy limit), so the score is theoretical and capped low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflict (-3). Final formula: Theoretical only. Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) + modifiers(-7) = 50.5; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (Poplar 2 copies over the Limited limit of 1). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 is almost always present in opening hands (Inferred)
• 10 hand traps and 8 negation texts give redundant interruption (Inferred)
• Link-1 enablers (Yummy Snatchy, Linkuriboh, Salamangreat Almiraj) support the Yummy Synchro route (Verified structural)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Snake-Eyes Poplar (Verified)
• Only 10.9 percent of cards carry the exact archetype name, so engines dilute each other (Verified structural)
• No side deck and no recorded boards to measure the median (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Poplar's over-limit copy must be fixed before the list can be played (Verified)
• Single Snake-Eye Ash and Flamberge starters carry most of the Level 1 access (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Snake-Eyes Poplar 2 copies vs limit 1 (Limited); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within master-duel size rules; Extra breakdown: 8 Link, 6 Synchro, 1 Fusion; Exact-name purity 10.9 percent; 49 off-archetype copies
• Observed: Archetype core inclusion figures from usage statistics (core present 16 of 25)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access near 0.995 (proxy); Brick and hand-trap density estimates; Strategy classification from card text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13) with no tournament or dated meta sample
• 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 splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null
