R.B. Deck #765492 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Blind-Second/OTK
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon into R.B. Link Monsters (Brute Blues, Shepherd's Crook) that gain ATK and attack more than once, while Ga10 and Lambda monsters keep the board clear.; Chip damage and LP swings from R.B. Funk Dock and R.B. Next Phase, plus Sky Striker link pressure from the Extra Deck.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Stage Landing or Funk Dock to fetch an R.B. monster, then go to the Link Monsters while holding hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Maxx C) for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps and Forbidden Droplet to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Pot of Sloth and recursion from the GY (Lambda Cannon, Stage Landing).
• Recovery: Recycle R.B. monsters from the GY through Exceptional Schedule, Lambda Cannon and Stage Landing, and rebuild links from Ga10 or Lambda bodies.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan on the strength of its searchers and three-copy R.B. staples: P(at least one Stage Landing or Funk Dock in a 5-card opening) is about 0.31 per 3-copy card, and the searcher group reaches about 0.65 (Inferred). Its real strength is interaction on the system: 7 hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Ash, Maxx C, Next Phase, Last Stand and Ga10 negations give a dense interaction layer that scores well on resilience and going-second control. Conversion into pressure is credible but unmeasured, since no recorded boards exist, so the Link Monster ceiling and the median are both text-based and kept near the middle. The score comes from consistency, recovery and interaction density across the whole list, not from averaging card scores, and R.B. popularity in the usage data was not credited as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-1); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.31 · 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 negation and removal layer (7 hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Next Phase, Last Stand)
• Three-copy core searchers (Stage Landing, Funk Dock, Exceptional Schedule) with strong recursion from the GY
• Compact, coherent R.B. identity in the Link Monsters and the Ga10 / Lambda bodies
• Full Extra Deck with a clear Link-based closing route

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only and unvalidated
• Conditional Special Summons (Ga10 Driller, Cutter, Pile Bunker, VALCan Rocket) can brick when a monster is already on board
• Substantial off-archetype content (about 66% of the Main Deck is not exact R.B. names), which dilutes engine consistency
• Heavy interaction cost: several hand traps are dead when the opponent plays no Quick Effects

Critical choke points

• Stage Landing and Funk Dock as the only way to reach the R.B. engine on turn 1-2 (about 0.31 each in a 5-card hand)
• Link Summon access to Brute Blues and Shepherd's Crook, both 2-copy Extra Deck cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 44, Extra Deck 15, Side 0 for Master Duel (size range 40-60 / 0-15); Copy limits pass; Limited and Semi-Limited cards are run at or below legal copies; Copy histogram: 18 singletons, 4 two-ofs, 6 three-ofs; Extra Deck: 14 Links and 1 Synchro (F.A. Dawn Dragster); Exact-name archetype purity 33.9% (20 of 59 R.B.-named copies); Guide snippet (Vietnamese) describes a Link-lock and turn-2 OTK plan from the R.B. body
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access: P(at least one of 3-copy starter in 5) ≈ 0.31; searcher group ≈ 0.65; Hand-trap group P(at least one in 6 going second) ≈ 0.67; Interaction density from card text (12 negation, 19 removal text hits); Going-first / going-second estimates derived from the component dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (format has no side deck)
• 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, brick, starter or OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags contradict the cards list for Extra Deck entries (Shepherd's Crook, Camellia, Kagari, Amatsu, Dawn Dragster are listed as not in deck but appear in cards with copies 1-2), so missing_core and the core-present % are unreliable and were not used archetype_core_group probability (0.998) counts Extra Deck R.B. Links and is not a brick estimate
