Goblin Deck #765484 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Goblin's Crazy Beast, Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Xyz Armor Fortress) reached through Goblin Biker and Radiant Typhoon searches and summons; Fiendsmith link and fusion pressure (Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Agnumday) recurring from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Normal Summon starter (Speedroid Terrortop, Radiant Typhoon Swen, Goblin Biker Dugg Charger), add a Goblin or Radiant Typhoon piece, and hold Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown or Ash Blossom for the first opposing play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Tour Guide) to slow the opponent's first Special Summon, then convert the hand into a boss Xyz or Link
• Recovery: Recover through GY effects of Fiendsmith and Goblin monsters (Lacrima, Biker Mean Merciless, Biker Clatter Sploder) and searchers that fill the hand from the Deck
• After siding: Not applicable: the list has zero Side Deck cards and Master Duel offers no side-deck step, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: a searcher-dense Main Deck (22 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) is about 0.91, Inferred) reaches several independent starters, mainly Goblin Biker, Radiant Typhoon, Fiendsmith and Roid, so it can usually open a live plan. Its strongest traits are interaction and closing power: six hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown, Harpie's Feather Duster and Crossout Designator give layered answers, and the Extra Deck carries several high-ATK bosses. The weaknesses are coherence and repeatability. Only 9 of 75 copies are exact Goblin cards (12% exact-name purity), the engines share few cards, and no recorded boards exist, so the median and floor are inferred from text alone. The score does not come from Goblin being a popular archetype and was not produced by averaging individual card scores; the absence of meta and side-deck data holds Meta Power at null.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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 suite (22 cards) gives high starter access across several engines
• Layered interaction: six hand traps plus Forbidden Crown, Forbidden Droplet, Harpie's Feather Duster and Crossout Designator
• Extra Deck carries multiple high-ATK bosses (2700 to 3000 base ATK)
• Legal in Master Duel with every restricted card within its copy limit

Weaknesses

• Low exact-archetype purity (12%) and six competing sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so floor and median are unmeasured
• No Side Deck and no post-side plan
• Heavy pilot burden with many decision points across engines

Critical choke points

• Goblin Biker and Radiant Typhoon lines both need a searcher or Normal Summon starter; with thin copy counts (Goblin core 7 copies) a missed starter leaves the hand with off-engine cards
• Hand-trap access on the going-second turn (about 0.48 for at least one in 6 cards)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 60 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all restricted cards within limits; Exact-name purity 12% (9 of 75 copies); Card stats and text from the resolved card list
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Goblin Biker core cards at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (searcher 0.91, Goblin core 0.47, hand trap 0.48); Interaction and closing-power reads from card text; Resilience and grind reads from the recursion and searcher text
• Provisional: Format fit (D13); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics list Goblin Biker Big Gabonga as missing (in_this_deck false), but the resolved card list includes it at 1 copy in the Extra Deck; the inclusion data conflicts with the deck list and should be checked
