Snake-Eye Deck #773387 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 1 FIRE recursion into Snake-Eyes and Diabellstar boards, then Flamberge Dragon, Snake-Eyes Diabellstar and Doomed Dragon attacks, supported by Elfnote Synchro and Link pressure; Elfnote Lucina and Tinia hand-summon into Elfnote Synchros (June Pride, Strelitzia) and Link monsters for repeated board pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a hand-summonable starter (Lucina, Tinia, Diabellstar the Black Witch, or a Level 1 FIRE) and search or Special Summon a second starter, then reach a Synchro or Fusion board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C or Forbidden Droplet to answer the opponent's first set, then rebuild through the Snake-Eye and Elfnote recursion loops
• Recovery: Recover Level 1 FIRE monsters and Diabellstar monsters from the GY through Snake-Eye Oak, Snake-Eyes Poplar and Original Sinful Spoils, which the copy-count evidence suggests is a real resource loop (Inferred)
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is single-game and the deck runs no side deck

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter because the Elfnote Lucina and Tinia trio, the Diabellstar the Black Witch trio and the Snake-Eye Ash and Oak lines can each be Special Summoned from hand, and the searcher-text group reaches at least one copy in about 95 percent of opening hands (Inferred). Conversion is plausible but unmeasured: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median come from card text alone and are marked Provisional. Interaction is layered through Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Forbidden Droplet and Crossout Designator, and the going-second hand-trap group reaches at least one copy in about 66 percent of six-card hands (Inferred). Popularity did not earn points: the Snake-Eye usage stats only confirm the list is real, and the deck is scored as a connected system rather than as an average of its card scores. Engine dilution is the main drag: only 9 of 45 main-deck cards are exact Snake-Eye, and 11 of 25 core-usage cards are present.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: engine_conflict_dilution (-3); missing_core_staples (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Starter density: multiple hand-summonable monsters across Elfnote, Diabellstar and Snake-Eye
• Strong end-board ATK in the Synchro, Fusion and Level 8 tier
• Layered interaction: seven hand traps plus Crossout Designator and Forbidden Droplet
• Resource regeneration through Snake-Eye and Elfnote GY recursion and heavy search

Weaknesses

• Low exact archetype purity (15 percent) and three overlapping engines
• Missing several usage-core staples such as I:P Masquerena and S:P Little Knight
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Single-game format: no side deck to adapt

Critical choke points

• Level 1 FIRE monsters and Snake-Eye Oak or Poplar are single-copy or two-copy starters; losing them removes the main recursion route
• Limited cards (Snake-Eye Ash, Poplar, Maxx C, Bonfire, Crossout Designator, WANTED) are each a single copy, so one removal or banish costs a whole line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 45 cards, Extra 15, Side 0, legal under master-duel size rules; All restricted cards are Limited at one copy each; Usage stats: 11 of 25 core cards present, Snake-Eye Ash about 93 percent inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap and interaction breadth from card text; Engine conflict and recursion reads
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame); Median and ceiling combo output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; guide coverage is one snippet with no sections
