Yummy Deck #765848 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro board built from Yummy Link-1 and Level 2 Synchro starters (Yummy Way monsters), closed with Cooky Way and Acroquey/Mignon ATK and destruction effects; Herald of the Arc Light and Link-3+ extra-deck bodies (W:P Fancy Ball, Sky Striker Ace - Camellia) once the board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Marshmao or a Level 1 monster via Piri Reis Map/Jack-In-The-Hand, reach a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro, then hand-summon Lollipo/Cooky/Cupsy; hold hand traps for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll) to answer the opponent's starter, then rebuild the Yummy engine from the GY through Snatchy/Linkuriboh/Almiraj recursion
• Recovery: Recur Yummy monsters and Spells from the GY through Link-1 GY effects and Yummy searchers (Marshmao, Cupsy, Cupsy Way), and rebuild the Link-1 starter after a Dominus or hand-trap exchange
• After siding: No side deck (side 0 is legal in Master Duel); no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens at least one Yummy monster in about 74% of 5-card openers (hypergeometric, Inferred), but the Yummy engine itself needs a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro already on the field, so the first turn depends on a short bootstrap. Its strongest feature is interaction on the system level: 13 hand-trap-tagged cards plus Dominus Spark and Dominus Purge give roughly 92% odds of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand. Recursion through the Link-1 extra-deck monsters and the three Level 2 Synchro Ways keeps several independent rebuild routes alive after disruption. The score is held down by the absence of recorded boards (no combo ceiling or median can be measured), the 37 off-archetype copies that dilute the Yummy engine, and the lack of any side deck. Popularity (archetype usage stats) only confirms the list is real and accessible and earned no points; the score was built on consistency, interaction and resilience of the system, not by averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 53. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1); engine_conflicts (-3); unrecoverable_choke_point (-1). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers; Structural uses Midrange weights with D13 dropped and re-normalised (sum 95). 0.80*63 + 0.20*53 = 61, minus 5 = 56

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap package (13 tagged) plus Dominus Spark/Purge gives high going-second interaction
• Multiple independent Link-1 and Level 2 Synchro lines with GY recursion
• Clean legality: 40/15/0 sizes and all restricted cards within copy limits

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation is in evidence
• Reactive-heavy main (19 of 40 cards) raises going-first dead-hand risk
• Off-archetype cards dilute the Yummy engine (37 of 55 cards)
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro must be on field before Lollipo/Cooky/Cupsy can be hand-summoned
• Single-copy Limited cards (Cupsy Yummy, Herald, Hornet Drones)

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; restricted cards within limit; Card text and banlist status for all 25 distinct cards; Hypergeometric draw odds (0.3376 per 3-copy card, 0.74 for >=1 Yummy monster); Archetype usage stats: 25 rows; 11 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: Midrange primary with Control/Combo secondary from hand-trap density and Yummy Way recursion; Going-first and going-second power split; Engine, brick and recursion reads from card text; Dimension scores D1-D11 and D14
• Provisional: D12 side adaptability (no side deck); D13 matchup and format fit (no dated meta); Meta Power (null)
• 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, brick/starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides attached (guides_evidence total 0)
