Lunalight Deck #772377 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer, Lunalight Panther Dancer or Lunalight Cat Dancer (or Lunalight Leo Dancer / Sabre Dancer) and attack through the opponent's board; Lunalight Starving Venom-style Fusion pressure, Lunalight Sabre Dancer and Leo Dancer with second attacks and Fusion Summon recursion from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Lunalight Gold Leo or Silver Hound to search a Lunalight monster, then use Lunalight Fusion or Polymerization family spells to Fusion Summon an Extra Deck monster the same turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's first combo, then rebuild with Lunalight searchers and Fusion
• Recovery: Recover through GY-to-field effects (Lunalight Yellow Marten, Lunalight Perfume Dancer, Lunalight White Rabbit, Lunalight Reincarnation Dance) and re-Fusion from the Extra Deck
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This Lunalight list reliably opens its engine: three copies each of Lunalight Gold Leo, Silver Hound and Lunalight Fusion give a hypergeometric chance of about 0.26 for each three-copy group in a 5-card opening hand, and the 29-copy archetype core has a roughly 0.98 chance of at least one card in the opening hand. The deck converts through ten Fusion monsters, with the Liger, Panther and Cat Dancers giving real closing pressure. Recursion (Yellow Marten, Perfume Dancer, White Rabbit) and six hand traps let it survive one interruption and rebuild, which earns the resilience and grind scores. It is not scored on popularity: Lunalight's usage stats confirm the list is real, but they do not raise the score. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from averaging card scores. The deck loses points for having no side deck, 29 off-archetype copies, eleven conditional tech cards that can brick, and no recorded boards to confirm the combo ceiling.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Off-archetype dilution (-2); Compact three-copy starter line (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural computed with D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 97)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 starter and searcher density (3x Gold Leo, 3x Silver Hound, 3x Lunalight Fusion, 18 searcher-text cards)
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Liger Dancer 3800, Panther Dancer 2800, Starving Venom 2800)
• Layered interaction: six hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Recursion lines for interruption resilience

Weaknesses

• No side deck at all
• Eleven tech cards, several conditional, raise brick risk
• Four overlapping Polymerization-type spells compete for the same slots
• Five off-plan Extra Deck cards dilute the Fusion pool

Critical choke points

• Lunalight Fusion and Polymerization family: the Fusion Summon line depends on a Fusion spell, and fusion spells are only 7 of 54 main cards
• Going second: if the opponent's first turn is answered by a single hand trap, the rebuild relies on Gold Leo and Silver Hound surviving

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in OCG: 54 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all restricted copies within legal limits; Card text and statistics for all listed cards; Copy histogram: 29 singletons, 8 doubles, 3 triples
• Observed: Usage statistics confirm Lunalight is a real archetype with 100% inclusion of Gold Leo
• Inferred: Starter access and brick rate from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from text regex plus card text; Closing power from ATK and second-attack text; Going-second and going-first power blends
• Provisional: Meta-share and matchup fit (D13) with no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Usage-statistics in this deck flags appear to miss Extra Deck cards: Lunalight Leo Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Panther Dancer and S:P Little Knight are present in the list (copies 2/2/1/1) but marked absent; core-card presence (64%) is therefore unreliable No sideboard data: the deck has no side cards, so D12 is structural only Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
