Lunalight Deck #765811 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±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 Dancers (Liger, Leo, Panther, Sabre, Cat) from 3 Fusion spells (Polymerization, Heavy Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion) plus Wolf/Masquerade/Black Sheep fusion routes; Xyz (Gallant Granite, Zoodiac Drident/Broadbull, Number 60) and Link (S:P Little Knight, Cross-Sheep) extension off Level 4 monsters, plus Mulcharmy attrition draws
• Turn 1 (going first): Gold Leo or Black Sheep search and Masquerade/Kaleido Chick recover Polymerization, then Fusion Summon a Dancer while Ash Blossom and Silver Hound protect the first hand-trap window (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner, Maxx C and Nibiru (conditional) stop the opposing first turn, then a Gold Leo / Perfume Dancer line rebuilds the board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Polymerization is re-added via Kaleido Chick, Masquerade or Black Sheep; Yellow Marten and Emerald Bird recur Level 4 Lunalight monsters from GY/banish (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is Bo1 and the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens functional hands through redundant searchers and starters: three Gold Leo, two each of Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Masquerade and Perfume, and 15 searcher-text cards, so the Lunalight core is almost always reachable (Inferred). Conversion is strong at the ceiling because a Polymerization-based Dancer lands 3000+ ATK bodies that are hard to remove, but the median is lower because the three Fusion spells and the off-archetype Mulcharmy, Fire Formation and Tri-Brigade slots dilute each opening (Inferred, no combo boards recorded). Interaction comes from five hand traps, Ash Blossom and Ghost Mourner, and Silver Hound, which give layered protection before and after the Dancer line. The score does not come from Lunalight being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores; it reflects consistency, ceiling, and interaction on the system, with Meta Power left provisional. Three Limited cards run at their one-copy limit and the 49% exact-archetype purity is a real engine-conflict cost.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65.1, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: engine_conflicts (-2); banlist_exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*65.1 + 0.20*62 - 3 = 61.5, rounded to 62

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant searchers and starters make the Lunalight core reliably reachable (Inferred)
• High closing power from 3000+ ATK Dancers with effect protection (Verified card text, Inferred conversion)
• Recursion and Polymerization recovery give the deck a second route after disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Three Fusion spells are a shared dependency; losing them caps the main line (Inferred)
• 49% exact-archetype purity with Mulcharmy, Fire Formation and Tri-Brigade engines creates slot conflicts (Inferred)
• No combo boards or win-rate data, so median output and matchups are unknown (Provisional)

Critical choke points

• Polymerization and the Fusion spells (Polymerization, Heavy Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion) as a single-card route to the Dancers
• Hand trap access on the going-second turn (Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner, Maxx C)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Master Duel, 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, no violations; Banlist: Foolish Burial, Maxx C and Zoodiac Broadbull are Limited and run at 1 copy each; Card text and copy counts from evidence.json
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws and card text; Dimension scores D1-D9, D11 and D14; Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; D12 side adaptability is a placeholder because Master Duel is Bo1; D13 matchup and format fit have no tournament context
• 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/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck in the list, so post-side plans cannot be evaluated
