Lunalight Deck #772933 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight boss monsters (Lunalight Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Sabre Dancer, Cat Dancer) using Polymerization-family spells and Lunalight Fusion, then attack through the board; Hand-trap and removal disruption (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Lightning Storm) to keep the opponent off a board while the Fusion line resolves
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Lunalight searchers and Masquerade/Gold Leo chains into Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion to Fusion Summon a Dancer, supported by Mulcharmy draw effects when the hand is empty
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first engine or search, then rebuild with the Lunalight searchers and a Fusion Summon
• Recovery: Lunalight Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick and Perfume recover Lunalight monsters from the GY and banishment; Lunalight Tiger and Yellow Marten re-enable Special Summons
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Lunalight line: the archetype core (28 copies) gives P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.98, and the searchers (Gold Leo, Masquerade, Kaleido Chick, Perfume) give about 0.84 for a searcher in hand. Its conversion comes from Fusion Summoning Lunalight Dancers, which carry high ATK and card protection text, so the output is a strong closing board when the engine goes through. Interaction is layered: 11 hand-trap cards, Ash Blossom, Droll and Ghost Ogre give roughly 0.76 for a hand trap in the going-second six-card hand, which carries the score. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points on their own, and the score is not an average of card scores. The deck gets no points for side-deck adaptability (no Side Deck), and the score is capped because the list is illegal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun weights not blended (no secondary weights applied). Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-8); No side deck (-2); Extra Deck over limit (-2); Illegal list cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: Final = 0.80*61 + 0.20*50 = 58.8 before modifiers; modifiers of -12 give 46.8; then the illegal-list cap reports 30 as a theoretical structural-only score, not a normal final score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Archetype core present at about 0.98 for at least one core card in the opening hand
• Dense hand-trap and removal coverage for both going first and going second
• Fusion bosses with high ATK and protection text give a strong closing board
• Recursion and searchers give a sustained grind into the late game

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two cards over the copy limit and an Extra Deck over the size limit
• 40 off-archetype copies and 23 generic cards dilute the engine
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference

Critical choke points

• The Fusion Summon line depends on Polymerization-family spells, which are the same cards Foolish Burial Goods and Ash Blossom compete with for hand slots
• Single Lunalight Fusion and Polymerization copies make the Fusion route fragile if they are stopped by a hand trap
• Extra Deck of 16 over the limit means at least one Fusion or XYZ slot must go before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: illegal, Ash Blossom and Foolish Burial Goods over the copy limit, Extra Deck 16 against maximum 15; Restricted cards: Droll & Lock Bird, Foolish Burial and S:P Little Knight are Limited and each run 1 copy (legal); Composition: 54 Main, 16 Extra, 0 Side; 40 off-archetype copies; 11 hand-trap cards; Usage: Lunalight core inclusion and missing core cards from the archetype usage statistics
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for the core, searcher and hand-trap groups (hypergeometric); Hand trap, removal and negation coverage read from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from the card text; Combo ceiling and power read from text only; no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup fit and tournament reliability; no tournament link or per-pilot record
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied, so post-side plan and D12 cannot be assessed from data
