Yummy Deck #773396 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Link Yummy board pressure, with Lv8 Ritual beaters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi destroys all opponent monsters when Special Summoned; Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi gives opponent monsters -800 ATK); Baronne de Fleur and Herald of the Arc Light as Synchro finishers with interaction on summon
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Lv1 Yummy (Cooky, Lollipo, Cupsy or Marshmao), search or Link-1 into a Yummy Way Synchro or Link Yummy, then reach a Ritual or Synchro board (Inferred from text; no boards supplied)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C or Droll against the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with a Yummy Lv1 starter or a Mitsurugi search (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects, Pre-Preparation of Rites and Mitsurugi searchers rebuild the hand after a disruption (Inferred)
• After siding: None: side_count is 0 and Master Duel does not use a side deck in this format

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Yummy Lv1 starter in about 69% of going-first hands and about 76% of going-second hands, with 14 searcher-text cards giving roughly 90% access to at least one searcher in five cards (Inferred, hypergeometric). Conversion rests on the Yummy Way Synchros and Link-1 bridges, with the Mitsurugi Ritual package adding Lv8 Ritual beaters; the ceiling is high (Murakumo's board wipe and Habakiri's -800 ATK), but no recorded boards exist, so the median is text-only and inferred. Interaction is dense (8 hand traps, Mitsurugi Great Purification, Herald, Baronne, Acroquey), which supports the going-second score, while the 12-card Mitsurugi package and 5 Mulcharmy cards split the engine and lower coherence. No points were given for popularity or the usage share, and the score is not an average of individual card scores; it comes from the system's consistency, interaction, and conversion read, with the meta-neutral formula because no dated metagame sample exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo (D13 dropped and renormalized over 97). Structural ≈ 64.5, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample): 0.80*64.5 + 0.20*56 - 5 = 57.8, rounded to 58

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.69 · 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 interaction: 8 hand traps, Great Purification, Herald, Baronne, Acroquey
• Compact Lv1 starter set (8 cards) with 14 searchers
• Strong Lv8 Ritual and Synchro finishers with board-wipe and -800 ATK effects
• All restricted copies within limits; legal list

Weaknesses

• Two engines (Yummy and Mitsurugi Ritual) with conflicting resource use
• Ritual cards are dead without both a Ritual Spell and Reptile tributes
• Seven generic or off-theme Extra Deck cards dilute the Yummy Synchro and Link shell
• No side deck: no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Yummy Lv1 Special Summon needs a Link-1 or Lv2 Synchro on field; Normal Summon is the fallback
• Ritual Summons need Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror plus Reptile tributes totaling Level 8
• Herald, Maxx C, Cupsy Yummy, Mitsurugi Prayers and Hornet Drones are 1-copy Limited cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: all restricted copies within limits (Limited 1, Semi-Limited 2); Card text and stats for every main and extra card; Copy histogram and Main/Extra sizes; Usage statistics (with the in_this_deck inconsistency noted in data_gaps)
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities and starter/hand-trap access; Combo ceiling and median, from text only; Interaction layering and brick risk; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13, excluded from structural); Side adaptability (D12, Master Duel has no side)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling are text-only inference (combos_evidence total_combos 0) usage_statistics in_this_deck is false for Lollipo Yummy Way, Cooky Yummy Way, Cupsy Yummy Way, Yummy Snatchy, Herald, Linkuriboh, S:P Little Knight, Spright Elf and I:P Masquerena, yet the cards list includes all nine in the Extra Deck; by name, 21 of 23 core cards are present (about 91%) rather than the reported 52.2%. Reconcile before relying on core_present_pct no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Master Duel has no side deck: side_count 0, so D12 is scored as provisional card text is truncated in description_excerpt; semantic reads are Inferred no guides attached (guides_evidence total 0) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
