Forbidden Deck #765343 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 46/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boards of LIGHT Beasts boosted by Yummyusment☆Mignon, closed by Zalen, Wind Pegasus or Golden Cloud Beast - Malong; Yummy GY recursion (Mignon, Acroquey, Yummy☆Surprise) rebuilding the board after interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): T1 Marshmao☆Yummy or Jester Confit; Link-1 (Linkuriboh or Yummy★Snatchy) enables Lollipo/Cooky/Cupsy hand-summons into a Yummy Way Synchro (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand traps (Ash, Impermanence, Droll, Maxx C) to stop the opponent's first engine, then a Synchro or Link follow-up (Inferred)
• Recovery: Yummy GY effects (Mignon, Acroquey, Surprise) and Marshmao/Cupsy searches re-establish Link-1 and Yummy monsters (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards): no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably offers interaction: ten hand traps, Dominus Spark and Purge, Forbidden Crown and Droplet, and Zalen and Herald negations give it strong answers to a board, which drives the highest dimension (D7). Its engine is less reliable. Only Marshmao☆Yummy and Jester Confit can start from hand with no board, giving roughly 43% chance of at least one going first and about 49% going second, and Yummy hand-summons depend on a Link-1 that exists only in the Extra Deck. Combo data is absent, so ceiling and median are inferred from card text, not observed boards. The score comes from interaction and resilience on the system, not from the Forbidden or Yummy name, and not from averaging card scores. Meta share is unavailable and the deck has no side, so it cannot be scored on matchup fit or adaptation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.75 Midrange + 0.25 Stun; D13 dropped and renormalised over 92.75. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 44. Modifiers: engine_conflict (-4); unrecoverable_choke_point (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 excluded from Structural) = 0.80*54 + 0.20*44 − 6 = 46

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

• Ten hand traps plus Dominus Spark/Purge and Forbidden Crown/Droplet give broad interaction
• Two independent 1-drop starters (Marshmao, Jester) and Yummy GY recursion give some route redundancy
• Legal under master-duel rules: all Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are respected

Weaknesses

• Only about 43% chance of a usable 1-drop starter in a going-first hand
• Yummy hand-summons are gated by a Link-1 that exists only in the Extra Deck
• Exact-name archetype purity of 3.6%; the deck is a mix of Yummy, Forbidden, Dominus and generic cards
• No side deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• A Link-1 on field is required for Lollipo/Cooky/Cupsy hand-summons (Yummy★Snatchy and Linkuriboh are Extra-only)
• Marshmao or Jester must be drawn for a reliable opening

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under master-duel size and copy limits; restricted cards within legal copies; Card text for Yummy hand-summon conditions and hand-trap effects; Side count is 0; Archetype purity 3.6%
• Observed: Usage stats show 60% core presence, but only against the Main Deck (see data_gaps)
• Inferred: Starter access, brick rate and interaction density from hypergeometric and text reads; Going-first and going-second estimates; Ceiling and median from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit (neutral placeholder, excluded from Structural)
• 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/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage stats flag Extra Deck cards (Spright Elf, Snatchy, Linkuriboh, Herald, the Yummy Way Synchros) as in_this_deck:false although they are present in the Extra list; the usage check appears to consider only the Main Deck, so the core-presence 60% figure is understated Archetype core probability (0.997) groups generic cards with the Yummy engine and is not used
