Lunalight Deck #773416 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Dancer boss monsters (Liger, Sabre, Leo) from the Extra Deck via Lunalight Fusion, Polymerization, and Luna Light Perfume; Xyz and Link pressure (Tiger King, Dugares, Nyarla, Broadbull, S:P Little Knight) plus Lunalight Wolf / Tiger Pendulum recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight searcher (Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Yellow Marten, Tenki) to reach a Fusion spell or Polymerization, then fuse into a Dancer boss while keeping Ash Blossom up
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Ghost Mourner) to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through Lunalight recursion and Fusion Summon
• Recovery: Recycle Lunalight monsters from the GY through Black Sheep, Perfume, and Masquerade; Silver Hound and Kaleido Chick can return Polymerization from the GY
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan (Inferred from list)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: it reliably opens a searcher (about 92% to hit at least one of 16 searcher copies in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), but the fusion-spell access that actually starts its best line (Polymerization x2, Lunalight Fusion x1) is only about 32% in an opening hand. Its strength is the layered interaction package (6 hand traps, about 12 negate-text and 13 removal-text cards, Inferred from card text) and the boss ceiling of the Dancer Fusion Monsters, which earned D7 and D9. Popularity did not earn points: the Lunalight usage stats only confirm the archetype is real and accessible. There are no recorded boards, so the floor and median are text-only inference and the deck's typical output is uncertain. Structural power is about 63.5, lowered by the absence of any side deck (D12 = 10) and by the single fusion-spell choke point. The individual card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile used directly; Midrange not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 63.5, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Fusion-spell choke point (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*63.5 + 0.20*58 = 62.4, minus 3 modifiers = 59.4, rounded to 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps plus 12 negate-text and 13 removal-text cards
• High-ATK Dancer Fusion bosses with protection text
• Dense Lunalight searchers make the opening hand reliably functional

Weaknesses

• Fusion-spell access is thin (3 copies) relative to the fusion-based win condition
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Off-archetype Mulcharmy and Tri-Brigade slots dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Polymerization / Lunalight Fusion access in the opening hand (about 32%)
• Lunalight searchers being interrupted by Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre before the Fusion line resolves

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 42 main / 15 extra / 0 side against master-duel size rules [0-60 / 0-15 / 0-15]; Limited cards (Foolish Burial, Maxx C, Zoodiac Broadbull) each run at legal copies (1); Hand-trap count 6 and card text for Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Mourner, Maxx C, Dominus Impulse
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for searchers (0.92), fusion spells (0.32), and hand traps going second (0.63); Interaction density and resilience from card text (12 negate, 13 removal); Dancer boss pressure and fusion line conversion from card text
• Provisional: Meta fit and matchup performance (no tournament link or dated meta sample); Median and floor output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; all consistency and matchup claims are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage statistics in this deck flags conflict with the cards list for five Extra Deck cards (Lunalight Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, S:P Little Knight, Number 60: Dugares), which the cards list shows at 1 to 2 copies; the missing core cards list was not used to judge the deck side deck absent, so no best-of-3 data Only 1 guide snippet, with no section structure
