Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer (3800 ATK, second attack) or Lunalight Panther Dancer / Cat Dancer, using Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion plus Lunalight Fusion materials from hand and field; Xyz and Link boards (Dugares, Tiger King, Evilswarm Nightmare, Nyarla, Cross-Sheep, S:P Little Knight) and Chimera for extra pressure once the Lunalight engine is off
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening searchers (Gold Leo, Fuwalos, Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Yellow Marten) fetch Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion and the materials, then Fusion Summon a Lunalight Dancer. Ash Blossom and Maxx C are held up to protect the first line
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet and Dominus Impulse answer the opponent's first summon or effect, then the hand plays through with Silver Hound and Emerald Bird recursion
• Recovery: Lunalight monsters recur from the GY and banishment through Silver Hound, Kaleido Chick, Yellow Marten, Emerald Bird, Lunalight Tiger and Perfume Dancer, and Luna Light Perfume and Black Sheep recover Polymerization or a Lunalight monster
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 of up to 15 Side slots), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence. Unverified

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency comes from a dense Lunalight search network: Gold Leo, Fuwalos, Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick and Marten put a Lunalight monster or Polymerization into hand, and the hypergeometric estimate gives about a 92% chance of at least one searcher in the opening five cards (Inferred). Its resilience rests on recursion and layered negation: Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet, Dominus Impulse and Silver Hound interrupt, and Silver Hound, Kaleido Chick, Emerald Bird and Yellow Marten keep returning Lunalight monsters after a disruption. Its closing power is high through the 3800-ATK Liger Dancer and the 2800 and 2400 Dancers, which the Extra Deck can rebuild quickly. Median output and the going-second conversion are estimated from card text only, because no recorded boards exist, so those scores carry wider bands. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible but add no power, and the card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The deck runs no Side Deck, which caps its adaptability and its post-side tournament reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Engine compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*66.2 + 0.20*58 - 1 ≈ 64

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 searcher network (92% chance of at least one searcher in an opening five)
• Layered hand traps and negation (Ash x3, Maxx C, Droplet, Dominus Impulse, Silver Hound)
• Strong recursion keeps the engine alive after the first exchange
• High ceiling from the 3800-ATK Liger Dancer, 2800 Panther Dancer and 2400 Cat Dancer

Weaknesses

• No side deck (0 of up to 15 Side slots)
• Single-copy Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion create a choke point on the Fusion route
• Heavy Spell count (15) raises brick and dead-card risk
• No recorded combo boards, so median and going-second output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion: 1 copy each. Losing both to a hand trap or Droplet pushes the line to Gold Leo and Black Sheep searches
• Lunalight monsters in hand or GY as Fusion materials: an opponent's Ash or Maxx C can break the bootstrap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the master-duel size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15, side 0-15); Maxx C and Foolish Burial are at their Limited limit of 1 copy; Extra Deck breakdown: 9 Fusion, 4 Xyz, 2 Link; Lunalight Liger Dancer 3800/3500 and Panther Dancer 2800/2500 stats from card data; Side deck is empty (0 cards)
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics: Lunalight core cards at 100% inclusion (e.g. Gold Leo, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Ash x3, Luna Light Perfume)
• Inferred: Opening-hand searcher probability ≈ 0.92 (hypergeometric); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Ceiling and floor from card text only, no recorded boards; Interaction density from hand traps and negation text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) without a dated metagame sample
• 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 No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Data inconsistency: usage core_cards flags Lunalight Leo Dancer, S:P Little Knight, Number 60 and Lunalight Liger/Perfume Dancer as not in deck, yet the card list runs them (Leo Dancer x2, Liger Dancer x2, Perfume Dancer x2, Little Knight x1, Dugares x1, Chimera x1). The usage in_this_deck flags were not trusted; the card list was used Side deck empty, so no post-side evidence exists Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
