Heroic Deck #765409 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK boss (Chaos, Shining Neos Wingman, Trinity, Dark Law) off Polymerization, Fusion Destiny, Miracle Fusion or Mask Change, backed by Elemental HERO Neos as the Contact/Fusion core; Link and Destiny HERO recursion (Xtra HERO Cross Crusader, Destiny HERO - Malicious, Destiny HERO - Plasma) to rebuild boards after interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Fusion Destiny, A Hero Lives, Malicious, Vision HERO Faris, Stratos or Miracle Ejector) and search Polymerization or Miracle Fusion into a Fusion boss; hold Ash Blossom or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom and Forbidden Droplet or Forbidden Crown to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Fusion Destiny or Mulcharmy draw effects
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Destiny HERO - Malicious, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, Xtra HERO Cross Crusader and Vision HERO Vyon's Polymerization search
• After siding: No side deck is registered; Master Duel has no sideboard step, so the post-side plan is not applicable

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a live starter. P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.96 and P(at least one searcher in hand) about 0.82, so the engine usually starts (Inferred). It converts through Fusion bosses, but the list runs only 16 of 25 Heroic core Extra Deck staples and carries roughly 75 off-archetype copies from Destiny, Vision, Masked, Mulcharmy, Predaplant, Forbidden and Contact, which lowers the median (Inferred from text; no board data). Interaction is the strongest part: five hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown and Crossout Designator layer protection over the engine. The score comes from consistency, interaction and boss ceiling on the system, not from Heroic's popularity or from averaging card scores. Recorded combos and tournament data are absent, so the median and format fit are scored as provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: engine_conflicts_off_archetype (-3); banlist_exposure (-2); unrecoverable_choke_point (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*60.75 + 0.20*60 - 6 = 54.6, rounded to 55

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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 interaction: five hand traps, Forbidden Droplet x3, Forbidden Crown x2 and Crossout Designator
• High starter density with Fusion Destiny, Malicious, Faris, Stratos, Ejector and Sabatiel at three copies each
• Strong boss ceiling through Chaos, Trinity, Shining Neos Wingman and Dark Law

Weaknesses

• Off-archetype support (75 copies) weakens the Elemental HERO engine
• Nine core Heroic Extra Deck staples are missing, so Fusion access depends on a narrower boss set
• No side deck and no recorded combo or matchup evidence to confirm the median

Critical choke points

• Elemental HERO Neos (1 copy) as the Fusion core when Contact or Neos-based lines are needed
• Polymerization and Miracle Fusion (2 and 1 copies) as the only Fusion enablers besides Fusion Destiny

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 are legal for master-duel (size rules 40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15); Copy limits: Crossout Designator, Foolish Burial, Predaplant Verte Anaconda and Reinforcement of the Army at 1 copy (Limited); Droll & Lock Bird at 2 copies (Semi-Limited); Archetype purity 0% exact name; 75 off-archetype copies; Core Extra Deck coverage 16 of 25 (64%)
• Inferred: P(at least one starter in 5) ≈ 0.96 from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density high from hand-trap and negation text; Ceiling from Fusion boss text; median inferred without boards
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13) held at neutral placeholder pending dated meta sample; Going-second and tournament reliability inferred from structure only
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered; Master Duel has no sideboard step so D12 is not applicable
