Lunalight Deck #765442 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 63/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer or Panther Dancer through Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion, then attack with multiple attacks and effect-based protection; Lunalight Cat Dancer and Lunalight Perfume Dancer as follow-up fusion threats; Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey and Tiger King as Xyz pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Search 1 Lunalight monster with Gold Leo, Black Sheep or Marten, use Luna Light Perfume or Masquerade to reach a Fusion spell, then Fusion Summon a Dancer
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C as hand traps for the opponent's first Special Summon or search, then rebuild the same fusion line from the Graveyard
• Recovery: Recur Lunalight monsters from the Graveyard via Black Sheep, Yellow Marten, Emerald Bird, Tiger and Perfume Dancer, and re-fuse from Extra Deck
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (Master Duel side count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Lunalight engine: the probability of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.92 and the archetype core is almost always present (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its conversion route runs through two fusion spells (Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion) into high-ATK Dancer fusions that attack twice, which earns the closing and pressure scores. Interaction is layered across Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet, Dominus Impulse, Silver Hound and Emerald Bird, and Graveyard recursion gives reasonable resilience after disruption. Points are held back by the absence of recorded boards (no combo ceiling or median can be measured), the 49% exact-archetype purity with off-theme Extra Deck Xyz and Link monsters, and the lack of any Side Deck. Popularity in the archetype and the individual card scores were not averaged or used to lift the score; the 63 comes from the system's consistency, interaction and closing power minus dilution and no post-side plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Combo; Midrange secondary considered but not blended in v1 (no meta or combo data to split the ratio). Structural ≈ 68.9, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Off-archetype dilution (-2); Non-archetype Extra Deck slots (-1); No Side Deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*68.9 + 0.20*60 = 67.1, then context modifiers -4 = 63

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 package (15 cards) keeps the engine live on going first
• Two fusion-spell enablers plus 9 fusion monsters give multiple conversion routes
• Layered interaction (Ash x3, Maxx C, Droplet, Impulse, Silver Hound, Emerald Bird)
• Dancer fusions provide high-ATK closing with a second attack

Weaknesses

• Only 49% of the main deck is exact Lunalight; 28 off-archetype copies dilute the engine
• 7 of 15 Extra Deck slots are non-Lunalight, including Lswarm and Xyz monsters that need non-Lunalight material
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates

Critical choke points

• Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion are single copies: losing both to hand traps or Nibiru-style disruption removes the main fusion route
• Going second relies on 6-card hands with about a 49% chance of holding a hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel, 40 main / 15 extra / 0 side; Limited cards Foolish Burial, Foolish Burial Goods and Maxx C each run at 1 copy; Extra Deck breakdown 9 fusion / 4 xyz / 2 link; Exact-name archetype purity 49.1%; Liger Dancer 3800 ATK, Leo Dancer 3500 ATK, Panther Dancer 2800 ATK
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show 100% inclusion for core Lunalight cards
• Inferred: Searcher access and archetype core presence from hypergeometric draw estimates; Interaction density from negation and removal text; Going-second hand-trap exposure; Pilotability from fusion step count
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament context)
• 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: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck matches the Main Deck only: Extra Deck cards (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, S:P Little Knight, Dugares, Cross-Sheep, Guardian Chimera) are reported as missing core even though they are present in the cards list Lunalight Sabre Dancer (65% inclusion) is genuinely absent from the deck
