Lunalight Deck #766418 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer (3800 ATK) or Lunalight Leo Dancer (3500 ATK) off Lunalight Fusion or Polymerization, with Beast-Warrior GY count feeding Sabre Dancer; Link and Xyz extension via Cross-Sheep, I:P Masquerena, Eclipse Twins and Dugares, plus Lunalight Tiger/Wolf Pendulum recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Gold Leo or Black Sheep to search a Lunalight (or Polymerization), then Lunalight Fusion or Polymerization into a Dancer; hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Maxx C as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first Special Summon (Ash, Ghost Mourner, Ghost Ogre, Dominus Impulse) and rebuild the board through Perfume Dancer or Emerald Bird recursion into a Dancer
• Recovery: Recycle Lunalight monsters from the GY through Black Sheep, Yellow Marten, Kaleido Chick and Luna Light Perfume; Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion are the only Fusion enablers in the Main Deck, so the Fusion route depends on the Dancers' own search text
• After siding: No side deck in Master Duel (side_count 0); there is no post-side adjustment, which weakens the plan against a known opposing deck

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably because its searchers (Gold Leo, Masquerade, Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Perfume, Tenki) are dense: P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.94 (Inferred from the hypergeometric table). Its ceiling comes from the Fusion route to 3500–3800 ATK Dancers, and its interaction (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Mourner, Maxx C, Dominus Impulse) gives it real end-board and going-second strength. The score is pulled down by the 45.5% exact-archetype purity, three 3-copy off-archetype engines (Mulcharmy, Fire Formation, Dominus) that conflict with the Lunalight board plan, a missing named Fusion material for Lunalight Leo Dancer, no side deck, and zero recorded boards to measure median output. Popularity and the usage-statistics rows did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66.5, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Engine conflict (off-archetype engines) (-3); Unverified Fusion material for Leo Dancer (-2); Low engine compactness (-1); No side deck (Master Duel) (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*66.5 + 0.20*58 - 7 ≈ 58

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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 (16 copies) with a Gold Leo/Masquerade starter package
• 7 hand traps plus 3 Dominus Impulse give strong going-second interaction
• Dancer ceiling of 3500–3800 ATK with second attacks

Weaknesses

• 45.5% exact-archetype purity and 30 off-archetype copies dilute the engine
• Leo Dancer's named Fusion material is absent from the list
• No side deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Lunalight Fusion (1) and Polymerization (1) are the only Main Deck Fusion enablers; losing both to Nibiru-style or hand-trap disruption leaves the 8 Fusion Extra cards hard to reach
• Lunalight Panther Dancer, the named Leo Dancer material, is not in the Main Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 40, Extra 15, side 0, legal under Master Duel; Foolish Burial, Maxx C and Zoodiac Broadbull each run 1 copy, within the Limited limit; Exact-name purity 45.5%, 30 off-archetype copies; Lunalight Leo Dancer's text names Lunalight Panther Dancer as a required material
• Inferred: P(≥1 searcher in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.94 gives a high starter rate; Interaction density is high, based on hand-trap, negation and removal text; Going-second strength rests on hand traps plus Dominus Impulse; Dancer ceiling is strong on paper, but no recorded boards support it
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit held at neutral
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference usage_statistics in_this_deck flags are false for 8 Extra Deck core cards (Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Sabre Dancer, S:P Little Knight, Dugares, Cross-Sheep, Chimera) even though the cards array lists them in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct 68 therefore understates coverage and should be re-derived from the Extra Deck as well no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Master Duel side deck is 0 cards; post-side plan cannot be evaluated
