R.B. Deck #770340 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link board of R.B. Link monsters; Brute Blues gains ATK from R.B. monsters it points to and can attack twice (card text, Inferred board conversion); Hand-summoned R.B. Ga10 monsters (Driller, Cutter, Pile Bunker, VALCan Rocket) reached from an empty or R.B.-only field, then linked into the board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a search or draw (Exceptional Schedule, Urgent Schedule, Funk Dock, Scrap Recycler) and keep Ash Blossom, Droll and Forbidden Droplet for the opponent's first action; establish a Link when a Ga10 hand monster is live (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C) to stop the opponent's combo, then Special Summon a Ga10 monster from hand into a Link chain and push through Brute Blues' second attack (Inferred from guide snippet and card text)
• Recovery: Rebuild from Funk Dock and Exceptional Schedule searches, Night Train Blue Traveler and Jet Synchron GY effects, and Revolving Switchyard (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel list with 0 side cards, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional R.B. plan: about 78% of going-first opening hands contain at least one of ten R.B. starter-type cards (Ga10 hand monsters, Stage Landing, Funk Dock), a hypergeometric estimate labeled Inferred. Its strongest score comes from interaction and card flow: six hand traps, 12 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards, and nine searchers keep the engine alive through disruption. Floor and ceiling are not measured because the evidence contains zero recorded boards, so the combo dimensions rest on card text alone and are kept near neutral. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage data confirms a standard list, but the score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from averaging card scores. The five Sky Striker Ace Link extras have no Sky Striker Ace monster in the Main Deck to be Linked from, which lowers Extra Deck efficiency and costs a small engine-conflict modifier.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Stun. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: engine conflict: Sky Striker Ace Link cluster (-2). Final formula: Meta provisional: 0.80*Structural(62, D13 dropped and re-normalised) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(57) = 61.0; modifiers -2 gives 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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, redundant interaction (6 hand traps plus Droplet, Last Stand and Next Phase)
• Strong card flow: 9 searchers, Scrap Recycler and Mulcharmy draws, and GY recursion
• Several triple-copy engine cards (Stage Landing, Funk Dock, Exceptional Schedule) give a stable opening
• Legal under Master Duel size and copy rules; all restricted cards within legal copies

Weaknesses

• Sky Striker Ace Link extras (Hayate, Zeke, Amatsu, Kagari, Camellia) have no Main Deck Sky Striker Ace starter, so 5 Extra slots may be inaccessible
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Usage module flags Dawn Dragster, Kagari, Amatsu, Camellia and Shepherd's Crook as absent, which contradicts the card list (all Extra-zone); treated the card list as authoritative and the usage join as suspect
• Brick risk from situational cards (Pot of Sloth, Forbidden Droplet, Mulcharmy) and conditional hand summons

Critical choke points

• Ga10 hand summons need an empty or R.B.-only field; a live opposing monster on T1 removes that route
• Engine depends on Stage Landing and Funk Dock to reach R.B. monsters, with about 34% chance per copy group in opening 5 cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status and 40/15/0 sizes within Master Duel rules; Restricted cards Maxx C, Hornet Drones and Droll within legal copies; Copy histogram 13 x1, 3 x2, 7 x3; Hypergeometric probabilities match the stated hand sizes
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.78 going first from the union of 10 R.B. starter-type cards; Interaction density from card text; Going-second board-breaking from hand-trap coverage; Sky Striker Ace Link access gap from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame); Matchup and format fit (D13 at 50)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown usage_statistics in_this_deck flags contradict the card list for five Extra-zone cards Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
