Lunalight Deck #772174 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Lunalight Fusion Dancers (Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Cat Dancer) Fusion Summoned from the Extra Deck, backed by Lunalight recursion and Polymerization; Link and Xyz Extra Deck monsters as board extenders (S:P Little Knight, Fancy Ball, Nyarla, Tiger King)
• Turn 1 (going first): Gold Leo or Black Sheep searches a Lunalight, Masquerade/Fusion/Polymerization line into a Lunalight Dancer; hand traps held up for the opponent's first starter (structural read, no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Impermanence, Droll) strip the opponent's first board, then Fusion Summon a Dancer through the cleared field (structural read)
• Recovery: Lunalight monsters recur from GY via Kaleido Chick, Emerald Bird, Yellow Marten, Luna Light Perfume and Silver Hound; Polymerization re-enters from GY/banish
• After siding: Not defined: the list has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a Lunalight engine: the archetype core (28 copies) has about 97% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and searchers appear in about 90% of hands (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its interaction is dense, with 15 hand traps across Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Impermanence, Nibiru and Droll, so it can strip a first board on the draw. Recursion through the GY gives it multiple routes after disruption. Its closing power is high on paper through Liger Dancer (3800 ATK) and Leo Dancer (3500), but no recorded boards exist, so combo conversion is text-only inference. The score is structural only because the list is illegal: three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring exceed the Semi-Limited limit of two. The score does not come from Lunalight's popularity (usage data supports only that the list is real), and it does not come from averaging card scores; it is capped low for legality.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-17); No Side Deck (-4); Limited-card exposure (-2). Final formula: Structural 61 -> 0.80*61 + 0.20*48 = 58 before modifiers; modifiers -6 -> 52; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (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 suite (15) with multiple negate/destroy effects
• Lunalight engine accessible with about 97% core-card presence in opening 5
• Several searchers and GY recursion routes give resilience
• High-ATK Fusion closers (Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Sabre Dancer)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring exceed the Semi-Limited limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• 57-card Main with 26 level-0 Spells/Traps dilutes starter density
• Link and Xyz Extra slots are off-archetype and lower coherence

Critical choke points

• Legality: one Ash Blossom copy must come out before this list can be scored normally
• Going-second survival rests on hand traps; a Main-only answer to the first starter has no recorded backup

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0; sizes within 40-60, 0-15, 0-15 rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs limit 2 (Semi-Limited), the sole violation; Limited cards (Droll & Lock Bird, Foolish Burial, S:P Little Knight) run at exactly one copy each; Extra composition: 8 Fusion, 4 Link, 3 Xyz; Dancer ATK/DEF values from card data
• Inferred: Archetype core P(>=1 in 5) ~0.97 and searcher P ~0.90 (hypergeometric); Hand-trap density and going-second hand-trap P ~0.86; Structural dimension scores and weighting; Combo-ceiling read from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power (null; no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 50 placeholder); Tournament reliability (no tournament_context)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second or matchups Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics report in_this_deck=false for Extra Deck cards that are present in the deck (Lunalight Leo Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Liger Dancer, Tiger King, Nyarla, S:P Little Knight). missing_core (68%) therefore ignores the Extra Deck and is not used as evidence No guides attached (total_guides 0) Deck title is null
