Lunalight Deck #765789 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a 3300-3800 ATK Lunalight Fusion boss (Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Chimera, Panther, Cat Dancer) from the Extra Deck, enabled by Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion; Xyz and Link pressure from Evilswarm Nightmare, Dugares, Tiger King, Cross-Sheep and S:P Little Knight, with Fire Formation Tenki boosting Beast-Warriors
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight monster (Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Silver Hound, Yellow Marten or Emerald Bird) whose search reaches a second Lunalight, then use Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion to reach a boss, backed by Ash Blossom and Maxx C for protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Forbidden Droplet, Dominus Impulse, Silver Hound or Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's Special Summons or effects, then rebuild Lunalight engine pieces from the GY through Masquerade, Kaleido Chick or Perfume Spell
• Recovery: Recurse Lunalight monsters from GY and banish with Silver Hound, Perfume Spell, Yellow Marten and Kaleido Chick, and re-access Polymerization from Deck, GY or banish through Black Sheep, Masquerade and Kaleido Chick
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck is evaluated as sideless

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Lunalight starter: 13 Lunalight monsters in the Main Deck give about 88% odds of at least one going first and about 92% going second, and 15 searcher-text cards add redundancy. Its conversion ceiling is high because Polymerization is reachable from the Deck, GY and banishment through Black Sheep, Masquerade and Kaleido Chick, and the Extra Deck holds 3500-3800 ATK fusion bosses with second-attack or targeting protection. Interaction is layered: three Ash Blossom, three Forbidden Droplet, three Dominus Impulse and Maxx C cover both hand-trap and on-field negation, which supports going-second play. The score is held down by the 22 non-Lunalight Main Deck cards that dilute the engine, the lack of recorded boards, and the absence of a side deck. Usage popularity was not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 68, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Off-archetype main density (-3); No side deck (-2); Banlist exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 text (15 cards) and 13 Lunalight starter monsters give high opening-hand access
• Polymerization has redundant access through Black Sheep, Masquerade, Kaleido Chick and Perfume Spell
• Layered negation: Ash Blossom x3, Forbidden Droplet x3, Dominus Impulse x3, Maxx C, Silver Hound
• High closing power from 3300-3800 ATK Lunalight Fusion bosses with second attack and protection text

Weaknesses

• 22 of 40 Main Deck cards are non-Lunalight, diluting the engine
• Hand-trap-heavy main with several dead cards on a turn with no engine
• No side deck registered
• Extra Deck has 7 off-archetype Xyz/Link/Fusion slots of uneven value

Critical choke points

• Turn-1 Lunalight monster: the Fusion route depends on one Lunalight starter plus a Polymerization source
• Polymerization access (2 Polymerization effects plus Lunalight Fusion) is the single fusion enabler if the search chain is stopped

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within Master Duel size rules; Foolish Burial and Maxx C at 1 copy each, both Limited and legal; Lunalight is 26 exact-name copies (18 Main, 8 Extra); composition counts match the card list
• Observed: Usage statistics: 24 of 25 core cards present in the Main or Extra Deck; only Lunalight Sabre Dancer is absent
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability of 0.88 going first and 0.92 going second; Interaction quality and going-second strength from card text; Engine dilution from 22 off-archetype Main Deck cards
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags all Extra Deck cards as absent (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Little Knight, Dugares, Cross-Sheep, Chimera) even though the card list runs them; only Lunalight Sabre Dancer is truly absent, so core_present_pct of 68 understates the deck deck title is null, so the name is taken from the archetype only
