Lunalight Deck #770337 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 63/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer, Sabre Dancer or Leo Dancer for 3000-3800 ATK boards with second attacks, backed by Xyz pressure from Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey and Tiger King.; Xyz beatdown from Dempsey, Tiger King and Tri-Brigade Fraktall when the Fusion line is blocked.
• Turn 1 (going first): Gold Leo or Black Sheep search a Lunalight monster, Masquerade or Fire Formation feeds a Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion into a Dancer.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Maxx C and Forbidden Droplet to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert from the GY with Luna Light Perfume and Gold Leo.
• Recovery: Recover Lunalight monsters from the GY with Gold Leo, Black Sheep and Luna Light Perfume, and re-Fusion from Polymerization.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan; this is a data gap as well as a weakness.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Lunalight system, not as an average of its card scores. Searchers (3 Gold Leo, 2 Black Sheep, 2 Masquerade, Perfume) and Fusion enablers (2 Polymerization, 2 Heavy Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion) give a high chance of a live starter by turn 2 (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.86, Inferred). Eight hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet and Maxx C give strong going-second interaction and end-board layering. The Fusion ceiling is high (Liger Dancer 3800 ATK, Sabre Dancer 3000 with ATK gain), but no recorded boards exist, so the median and floor are inferred, not observed. Mulcharmy (4), Fire Formation (2) and the Zoodiac Xyz pair (no Zoodiac main-deck monsters) are off-plan, and the list has no Side Deck, which lowers consistency, post-side adaptability and the final score. Popularity or archetype share did not earn points, and no meta sample was supplied, so Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 68, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-2); Off-archetype engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*68.25 + 0.20*62 - 4 = 63

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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 and Fusion-enabler package (Gold Leo x3, Black Sheep x2, Masquerade x2, 2 Polymerization, 2 Heavy Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion)
• Eight hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet x3 and Maxx C give strong going-second interaction
• High-ATK Fusion and Xyz end-board (Liger Dancer 3800, Sabre Dancer 3000, Dempsey 2300, Tiger King 2200)

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Four off-archetype Mulcharmy and two Fire Formation dilute engine coherence (43.9% exact-name purity)
• Seven Tuners with no Synchro in the Extra Deck; they function only as hand traps
• Zoodiac Drident and Zoodiac Broadbull have no Zoodiac main-deck monsters to use their special summon condition
• Four Limited cards at one copy each (Maxx C, Foolish Burial, Crossout Designator, Zoodiac Broadbull), so none can be added

Critical choke points

• Fusion enablers (Polymerization x2, Heavy Polymerization x2, Lunalight Fusion x1) are the single route into the Dancer boards
• Hand-trap timing: going first, the eight hand traps are often dead until turn 2

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 42 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all 4 Limited cards at 1 copy; Card text and stats for all 40+ distinct cards; Extra Deck breakdown: 9 Fusion, 5 Xyz, 1 Link; Archetype purity 43.9% (25 exact Lunalight copies)
• Observed: Usage stat: 17 of 25 core cards present (68%), with the caveat of a likely mismatch in the in_this_deck flags
• Inferred: Searcher P(at least one in 5) ≈ 0.86; Going-second interaction density from hand-trap text; Fusion ceiling from card text (Liger Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Dempsey); Brick risk from off-archetype Mulcharmy and Fire Formation
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit and Tournament Reliability inputs (no tournament link); Floor and median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling rely on card-text inference only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups or brick/starter rates No Side Deck registered for this deck (0 cards) Usage stats flag Lunalight Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Guardian Chimera and Zoodiac Drident as in_this_deck=false although the card list runs them, so the core coverage (68%) is likely undercounted Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
