D/D/D Deck #766430 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 67/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (D/D/D Deus Machinex, Kali Yuga, Bright Armageddon, Arc Crisis) enabled by Pendulum Summons and Dark Contract chains; Negate-and-pressure board control through hand traps and Extra Deck negations (Siegfried, Zeus, Caesar)
• Turn 1 (going first): Set up a Pendulum Zone pair (Kepler and Surveyor scales) and use Dark Contract with the Gate to fetch a D/D starter, then convert into a Level 8 or Level 4 Extra Deck Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Pendulum Summons and Extra Deck bosses
• Recovery: Recover with Necro Slime, Genghis and Clovis from the Graveyard or banishment, and reuse Dark Contract cards from the GY
• After siding: Master Duel is single-game with no side deck; post-side plan not applicable

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine through redundancy: three copies each of Dark Contract with the Gate, D/D Savant Kepler and D/D/D Zero Doom Queen Machinex give a 34 percent chance of at least one of each in an opening five, and about 78 percent for at least one searcher-text card. Its Extra Deck supplies several high-ATK bosses across Link, Xyz, Fusion and Synchro, so the closing power is strong once the engine is live. Interaction is dense: nine hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) give about 81 percent odds of at least one hand trap when going second, and 14 negation-text cards plus Crossout Designator and Dominus Impulse keep the board contestable. Score is held back because there are no recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inference, and the card-level usage data is internally inconsistent. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and this score was not produced by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 69.6, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 74, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: off-archetype staples dilute the engine (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (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 and negation suite (9 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards) with high going-second hand-6 odds
• Redundant starters across Pendulum and Dark Contract lines with about 78 percent searcher access
• Full Extra Deck with high-ATK bosses across four Extra Deck types

Weaknesses

• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are unverified
• Reactive staples (Triple Tactics, Crossout, Maxx C, Dominus Spark) can be dead without a starter
• Usage statistics conflict with the card list (see data gaps), so the core-presence read is unreliable

Critical choke points

• Dark Contract with the Gate and the Pendulum scale pair (Kepler and Surveyor) are the entry point; losing them to a single answer slows the whole line
• Limited and Semi-Limited restriction on Maxx C, Crossout Designator and Droll limits copies of key interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal size and copy limits under BanMasterDuel; Maxx C and Crossout Designator Limited at 1 copy; Droll Semi-Limited at 2; Card text and stats for all 40 Main and 15 Extra cards; Extra Deck breakdown: Link 3, Xyz 6, Fusion 3, Synchro 3; Hypergeometric draw odds for 3-copy cards: 0.3376 going first, 0.3943 going second
• Observed: Usage statistics show archetype-standard inclusion (95 percent) for most core cards in this deck; Two Vietnamese guide snippets describe D/D/D as a going-first combo and going-second OTK deck (guide text, not measured)
• Inferred: Engine consistency is high (about 78 percent for a searcher, 0.987 for an archetype core card in opening 5); Interaction density is high from the negation and removal text counts; Going-first power is limited by the need to set the engine before negation-heavy opposing turns; Recommendation to swap Triple Tactics for a D/D starter
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample is supplied; D12 and D13 are neutral because Master Duel has no side deck and no matchup data exists
• 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, OTK rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics.in_this_deck is false for Gilgamesh, Deus Machinex, Zeus, Kali Yuga, Caesar, Tell, Solomon, Siegfried, Clovis, Arc Crisis, Alfred and Genghis, but the card list runs all of them; core_cards_present (13 of 25) and missing_core are therefore unreliable and were not used as weaknesses exact_name_purity_pct of 0 is an artifact of matching the exact D/D/D name against Main Deck cards; off_archetype_copies (55) counts D/D family and generic cards as off-archetype sideMax 15 is a format default, but Master Duel has no side deck, so side-deck dimensions (D12) carry no evidence guide snippets are short unverified forum text with no section detail
