Labrynth Deck #762298 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Trap-chain board control: Normal Trap activations recycle Labrynth monsters and remove or negate opposing threats, then a Labrynth or Link monster finishes the game.; Off-archetype Link and Extra Deck monsters (Underworld Goddess, Knightmare Phoenix, Chaos Angel) as backup pressure; not confirmed by any recorded board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Big Welcome Labrynth or Welcome Labrynth to Special Summon a Labrynth monster, then set a second Normal Trap and hold Ice Dragon's Prison or Lost Wind for the opponent's first Special Summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ice Dragon's Prison, Lost Wind and Compulsory Evacuation Device in the six-card hand; use Nibiru or Bystial Druiswurm as hand interaction and rebuild through Labrynth GY effects.
• Recovery: Labrynth Stovie Torbie, Labrynth Cooclock and Labrynth Chandraglier can be recovered from the GY after a Normal Trap resolves, and Arias and Arianna re-enter the field to rebuild the chain.
• After siding: Not applicable: the Duel Links evidence records no side deck, so no post-side plan is scored.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Labrynth starter: the 3-copy starters (Arianna, Big Welcome Labrynth) give P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.43, and the Labrynth core is well represented, so the engine comes online often enough for a Control profile (Inferred). Its strongest contribution is end-board interaction: Ice Dragon's Prison, Lost Wind, Needle Ceiling, Terrors of the Overroot, Compulsory Evacuation Device and Archfiend's Ghastly Glitch give it several removal and negation options, and the Normal Trap recursion through the GY keeps the engine running after disruption (Inferred). Conversion and median output are scored low because the evidence contains no parseable recorded boards, so D3 and D4 rest on card text alone. Popularity and the archetype guide did not add points, and the score was not built by averaging individual card scores; the 41% exact-name purity and 23 off-archetype copies lower coherence. Meta Power is null, and the score is Low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Off-archetype dilution (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

• Strong set of Normal Trap and negation interaction (Ice Dragon's Prison, Lost Wind, Needle Ceiling, Terrors of the Overroot)
• Multiple 3-copy engine starters give a usable T1 entry at about 43% in a 5-card hand
• Compact 30-card Main Deck with full Extra Deck use

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured
• Only 41% exact-name purity; many off-archetype copies lower engine coherence
• Several Main Deck traps are conditional and can become dead cards without a Labrynth monster on the field

Critical choke points

• Big Welcome Labrynth and Arianna as the only 3-copy starters
• Normal Trap activation as the trigger for almost every GY recursion

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Duel Links: 30 Main (range 20–30), 9 Extra (range 0–9), 0 Side; no violations; Bystial Druiswurm runs 2 copies, which is within its Semi-Limited limit of 2; Exact-name purity 41%; 16 exact Labrynth copies, 23 off-archetype; Guide snippet describes Labrynth as a Normal-Trap-based control deck
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show the Labrynth core (Arias, Arianna, Terrors, Lady and Lovely Labrynth) at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: D1 consistency from hypergeometric odds (P ≈ 0.43 for 3-copy starters in 5 cards); End-board interaction quality from card text (7 interaction cards, 4 negation hits); Going-second suitability from trap-based interaction; GY recursion as an interruption-resilience route
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side deck adaptability (no side deck in Duel Links)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent usage_statistics marks Knightmare Phoenix, Muckraker, Underworld Goddess and Chaos Angel as not in this deck, but they appear in the Extra Deck card list; the in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list, and the card list was trusted archetype_core_group reports 20 copies in deck, but exact-name Labrynth copies total 16; the core-group probability was not used no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null
