Aroma Deck #766932 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Link/Fusion finishers from the Plant chain: Teardrop the Rikka Queen (2800 ATK), Sacred Tree Beast Hyperyton (2600 ATK), Aromalilith Magnolia (2600 ATK), Benghalancer the Resurgent (2500 ATK, Link 4); Rikka and Ragnaraika recursion of Plant and Insect monsters from GY and banish zones, feeding Link and Xyz summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Ragnaraika the Evil Seed or Unexpected Dai (3 copies each) to reach a Plant body, search with Ragnaraika Bloom, Rikka Petal or Humid Winds, then build toward a Link or Xyz finisher
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird (2 copies each) and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summons, then rebuild through Rikka Princess and Mudan
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY using Rikka Petal, Sunseed Twin, Lonefire Blossom and the Plant-recursion effects, then re-land a Link or Xyz monster
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the 40-card main is the only plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Plant-based engine on turn one: P(at least one of Ragnaraika the Evil Seed, Unexpected Dai or The Statue of Easter Island in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.34 each, and the 11 searcher-text cards give P(at least one searcher in hand) of about 0.82 (Inferred). Interaction is layered across five hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C) plus Therion Cross and Rikka Sheet, which earns the going-second and endboard scores (Inferred). The closing power comes from the Extra Deck ceiling (2500 to 2800 ATK Link and Xyz finishers), but there are no recorded boards, so conversion and median output rest on text reading alone. Points were not earned from the Aroma name or from usage stats: the usage statistics report every card at 100% inclusion, which does not discriminate and was not used as a power signal, and the card scores were not averaged. The deck is penalised for low engine coherence (only 15.4% exact-name Aroma purity across Rikka, Ragnaraika, Sunseed, Sunavalon, Sunvine and Therion), for having no side deck, and for the absence of combo evidence, which keeps confidence Low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Engine coherence / sub-archetype spread (-4); No side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-7); 0.80*56 + 0.20*52 = 55.2, minus 7 = 48

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Layered interaction: 5 hand traps plus Therion Cross and Rikka Sheet
• Dense searcher suite (11 searcher-text cards) gives high P(>=1) in hand
• High-ATK Extra Deck finishers with several Link and Xyz routes
• Recursion from GY and banish zones (Rikka Petal, Sunseed Twin, Lonefire Blossom)

Weaknesses

• Low engine coherence: 15.4% exact-name Aroma purity, with Rikka, Ragnaraika, Sunseed, Sunavalon and Therion engines competing
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No combo boards, so conversion and median output are unmeasured
• Usage statistics show 100% inclusion for every card and do not discriminate

Critical choke points

• Plant monsters are required for most summon routes (30 Plant-race main cards), so losing Plant bodies to a single interruption can stall several lines
• Extra Deck finishers depend on Link and Xyz material from a narrow Plant pool

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 12, Side 0 within master-duel size rules; Maxx C 1/1 Limited, One for One 1/1 Limited, Droll & Lock Bird 2/2 Semi-Limited, all legal; Exact-name Aroma purity 15.4%, 44 off-archetype copies; Extra Deck breakdown: 3 Xyz, 8 Link, 1 Fusion
• Observed: Usage statistics available but all inclusion_pct values are 100%, which carries no discriminating signal
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric estimates (about 0.34 for 3-copy starters, 0.82 searcher group); Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Ceiling and median from text only, since no boards are recorded
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Usage statistics show 100% inclusion for every core card, so they do not discriminate Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so D12 has no performance evidence No guides attached
