Forbidden Deck #762774 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro chains into Yummy and Solfachord boards, then Coolia or Musecia / Herald pressure, with Yummyusment buffs; Hand-trap-supported grind that wins by removing the opponent's interaction and pressuring with Link monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro enabler (Snatchy, Almiraj, Linkuriboh, or a Way monster) with a Yummy Level-1 starter to open the Yummy engine; hold Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle for the first opposing response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand trap on the opponent's first summon or search (Droll, Impermanence, Maxx C, Ash, Ghost Belle), then rebuild through the Yummy or Solfachord engine from the extra deck
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Maxx C draw, Yummy GY recursion via Yummy Surprise and Yummyusment Acroquey, and Synchro recursion through Shamisen
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is a two-step chain: a Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro enabler unlocks the Level-1 Yummy monsters from hand, and Solfachord Pendulums add a second route. Starter access is moderate (about 0.64 chance of at least one of the seven Yummy Level-1 monsters in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), and the deck has enough redundant starters and enablers to keep several routes open. Interaction is the strongest part of the list: 11 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards and 11 removal-text cards give high endboard and going-second coverage, although many hand traps are dead without an opposing play. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used to earn points, and the lack of recorded boards (combos_evidence has zero boards) keeps the ceiling and median dimensions Inferred and lowers confidence. The three-engine mix (Yummy, Solfachord, Mulcharmy) and an exact archetype purity of 5.5% cost points for engine coherence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflict (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (no dated metagame sample, so Meta is provisional and D13 is dropped from Structural)

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

• Layered interaction across 11 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards and 11 removal-text cards
• Redundant Link-1 and Level-2 enablers keep more than one starter route open
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (about 0.88 with a 6-card hand)
• Compact extra deck that uses all 15 slots across Link and Synchro

Weaknesses

• Three partly overlapping engines (Yummy, Solfachord, Mulcharmy) with exact archetype purity of 5.5%
• High hand-trap count raises dead-card risk when the opponent does nothing
• No side deck, so no post-game adaptability
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• A Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro enabler must be on field before the Yummy Level-1 monsters can be Special Summoned from hand
• Yummy and Solfachord Extra Deck summons depend on Pendulum zones and Link material, so a single cleared enabler can stall the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0, legal under BanMasterDuel; Restricted-card copies are within legal limits; Composition: 23 distinct Main and 14 distinct Extra cards, 11 hand traps, 9 Link, 6 Synchro
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (about 0.64 at 5 cards, 0.71 at 6 cards) and hand-trap probabilities; Ceiling and median read from card text, since no boards exist; Interaction and resilience ratings from text roles
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 format fit; Side deck adaptability (D12) given no side deck
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, 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 exists in YGOVN, so going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Pendulum scale for Solfachord Primoa is listed as 0 in the export, so pendulum-zone reads rely on text
