Dominus Deck #766896 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yummy Synchro/Link board (Yummy☆Surprise, Yummyusment Mignon/Acroquey) converting into Nibiru, Zalen, Wind Pegasus or Golden Cloud Beast attacks; Herald of the Arc Light and Cupsy★Yummy Way recursion/search loops from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): T1 Lv1 Yummy starter from hand (Marshmao, Lollipo, Cooky) enabled by a Link-1 (Yummy★Snatchy) or Level 2 Synchro, then Yummy★Surprise or a Synchro into a Yummy Synchro Tuner
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird or Maxx "C" against the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild with a Yummy Synchro and Nibiru if they summon 5+ monsters
• Recovery: Yummy GY effects (Cupsy, Marshmao, Yummyusment Mignon GY clause) re-summon Level 1 Yummies and a Synchro Tuner after the opening board is interrupted
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck in this format (side_count 0 is legal)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens on a Level 1 Yummy starter: the archetype-core proxy gives about 0.92 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, and that group mixes Yummy, Dominus and Forbidden sub-archetypes, so it overstates Yummy-specific access). Its strongest contribution is interaction, with 10 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards giving it a high probability of disrupting the opponent's first search or summon on the play or the draw. Conversion is credible but unmeasured: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling comes only from card text (Yummy Synchro chains, Nibiru's 5-summon trigger, 2800–3000 ATK bosses) and the floor and median are scored low for lack of evidence. The deck does not earn points from Dominus popularity: exact Dominus purity is 9.1% (5 of 55 archetype-named copies), the top-usage Dominus Impulse and S:P Little Knight are absent, and the Yummy core does most of the work. No card scores were averaged; the structural score is a Midrange-profile weighting of 14 system dimensions.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun-level interaction weight not applied; Midrange row used as published. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Missing core cards (-3); Engine identity conflict (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (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 package (10 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards) with multiple independent interruption options
• Multiple Level 1 Yummy starters across hand and deck for a reliable T1 play
• Strong closing bosses (Nibiru 3000, Zalen 2800, Wind Pegasus 2300) and Mignon ATK buff
• Legal list with no size or copy violations

Weaknesses

• Thin Dominus identity: only 5 Dominus-named copies, with the highest-usage Dominus and Little Knight cards absent
• No recorded boards, so median output and combo floor cannot be verified
• Several conditional or dead-in-hand cards (Dominus Purge, Dominus Spark, Forbidden Droplet, Piri Reis Map)
• Narrow Link-1 and Lv2 Synchro prerequisite for Yummy access

Critical choke points

• A Link-1 (Yummy★Snatchy or Linkuriboh) or Level 2 Synchro on the field is needed to unlock most hand Yummy Summons
• Opening without a Level 1 starter in 5 cards (~8% per the proxy) leaves the hand with interaction only

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side within Master Duel size rules; Copy limits satisfied for all 6 restricted cards (Limited 1, Semi-Limited 2); Composition counts: 21 distinct main, 14 distinct extra, 9 Synchro and 6 Link Extra cards; Exact Dominus purity 9.1% (5 of 55 archetype-named copies); Usage: Dominus Impulse, S:P Little Knight and I:P Masquerena absent from a core group the archetype usually runs
• Observed: Usage statistics are available across 11 archetype rows
• Inferred: Starter access ~0.92 with 5-card hand, from hypergeometric proxy; Interaction density is high from hand-trap and negation flags; Yummy Synchro/Link chain as ceiling, text-only; Going-second and going-first estimates from hand-trap probability (0.85 at least one hand trap with 6 cards)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Side and matchup dimensions (no side in Master Duel; no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Archetype core probability proxy mixes Yummy, Dominus and Forbidden sub-archetypes
