D/D/D Deck #765012 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck D/D/D monsters (Deus Machinex, Arc Crisis, Bright Armageddon, Kali Yuga) that pressure the board once the opponent's answers are spent; Link pressure from D/D/D Abyss King Gilgamesh and D/D/D Sky King Zeus Ragnarok
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a D/D monster with Dark Contract with the Gate, Pendulum Summon D/D monsters to set up Extra Deck summons, and hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Maxx C as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Dominus Impulse, Infinite Impermanence) to stop the opponent's line, then rebuild the D/D engine from the GY and Deck
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY via D/D Necro Slime, D/D Lance Soldier and Dark Contract cards, plus Pendulum re-summons to rebuild boards after an interruption
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck relies entirely on its main-deck answers

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine through searchers: the group of 10 searcher-text cards gives roughly a 78% chance of at least one in the opening five, and Dark Contract with the Gate (3 copies) adds D/D monsters on demand (Inferred). Its conversion depends on the Extra Deck kings, whose text describes strong boards, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is a text read and the median is unmeasured (Inferred). Nine hand traps and a dense negation suite give it strong resilience and end-board interaction, and the going-second score rests on the same hand traps. Closing power comes from high-ATK Extra Deck monsters, while the 2-for-1 Dark Contract self-damage and the complex pendulum sequencing pull the score down. The score comes from the deck as a system (consistency, interaction, and resilience); it does not come from D/D/D's popularity or from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Combo + 0.30 Stun. Structural ≈ 61.7, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 69, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine redundancy (2); self-damage burden (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 61.7, TR 52, modifiers -1 => 58.8, rounded to 59)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Dense negation suite: Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll, Maxx C, Dominus Impulse and Crossout Designator give several answers per threat
• Redundant D/D starters: 10 searcher-text cards and 4 Dark Contract cards keep the engine accessible
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers with negation text (Arc Crisis, Caesar, Siegfried, Bright Armageddon)

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Heavy Extra Deck dependence with 11 singletons reduces flexibility
• Self-damage cards (Dark Contract with the Gate) cost life during long games
• Extended pendulum and GY sequencing raises the pilot skill ceiling

Critical choke points

• The D/D monster needed for Extra Deck summons: removing D/D monsters from the hand or field can stall the engine
• Dark Contract cards (4 total): losing them to disruption removes most of the Extra Deck route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Crossout Designator, Maxx C and Droll & Lock Bird are at or below their legal copy limits; Card text and stats come from the resolved card list; 21 distinct main cards and 13 distinct Extra Deck cards
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Consistency, brick, interaction and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); no tournament data or dated meta sample; Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards (total_combos 0): combo ceiling, median and power distribution are text-only inferences usage_statistics.in_this_deck disagrees with the card list: Extra Deck cards such as Gilgamesh, Zeus, Kali Yuga, Caesar and Alfred are listed as not in the deck but appear in the card list with zone extra, so the 56% core-present figure is unreliable No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates); those signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Guides are short Vietnamese snippets with no sections; they confirm intent only
