Yummy Deck #773418 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yummy Synchro and Link pressure: Cooky/Lollipo/Cupsy Way and Ty-Phon, Kagari and Herald as the closers, with Yummyusment field spells adding ATK.; Hand-trap-supported extension: Ash, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler and Impermanence protect the first Yummy summon long enough for Link and Synchro follow-ups.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level-1 Yummy starter (Lollipo, Cooky, Marshmao or Cupsy) with a Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro condition to enable the Special Summon, then Link or Synchro into a board; hold 1-2 hand traps when the hand allows.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold Ash, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll and Impermanence against the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert a surviving starter into Synchro or Link pressure.
• Recovery: Recover through Yummy Spell/Trap recursion (Assist Yummy, Yummy Surprise, Cupsy Way searches), Mulcharmy draw, and Link-1 / Level-2 re-summons from the GY.
• After siding: Not applicable as scored: Master Duel has no Side Deck in this export (side_count 0, side size rule 0 to 15), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Yummy starter: nine Level-1 Yummy monsters (Lollipo, Cooky, Marshmao, Cupsy) plus Jester Confit give a P(at least one of 11 starters in an opening 5) of about 0.82 (Inferred from the main-deck hypergeometric). Its 16 hand traps (about 40 percent of the main) carry most of the interaction and going-second strength, with P(at least one in a 6-card hand) of about 0.96 from the probability block. Recovery is credible through Yummy Spell/Trap recursion and Mulcharmy draw, but no recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median output are text-only inferences. The score comes from consistency, interaction density and the Synchro/Link Extra Deck coverage read at system level; archetype popularity earned no points and card scores were not averaged. Side-deck, matchup and meta dimensions are scored neutral or below midpoint because the export contains no post-side, tournament or dated meta data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59.8, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Non-starter density (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*59.8 + 0.20*56 = 59.1, then -2 context modifier = 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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 Yummy starter package (11 Level-1 starters including Jester Confit) gives a high P(at least one starter in hand)
• 16 hand traps plus Herald and Droll give layered interaction for both going first and going second
• All three Yummy Way Synchros, plus Link and Synchro closers, make a complete Extra Deck with 15 of 15 slots used
• Legal in Master Duel: all Limited cards run at 1 copy and Semi-Limited cards at 2 copies

Weaknesses

• Hand-trap-heavy main (16 of 40) creates reactive dead-card risk when no starter is drawn
• No Side Deck in the Master Duel format, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Usage statistics report several Extra Deck cards as not in this deck (Yummy Snatchy, Lollipo, Cupsy and Cooky Way, Herald, Linkuriboh, Almiraj, Spright Elf, I:P Masquerena, S:P Little Knight) even though the card list contains them; core-coverage figures are therefore unreliable

Critical choke points

• A Yummy starter (Cooky, Lollipo, Marshmao, Cupsy or Jester) must be summoned with a Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro on the field, so the Link-1 or Level-2 enabler is a single point of failure for the opening
• Hand traps are dead without a starter, so a hand of only hand traps gives no board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 40 main / 15 extra / 0 side counts, and banlist status of each restricted card (Limited and Semi-Limited copy limits met); Card text, types, attributes and ATK/DEF for all listed cards; Composition: 16 hand traps, 13 removal-text, 11 negation-text, 6 searcher-text, Extra Deck 8 Link / 6 Synchro / 1 XYZ
• Observed: Usage statistics: Yummy starters and Ash, Ghost Ogre and Droll are inclusion-core (100 percent, 100 percent and 82 percent) in the archetype sample
• Inferred: P(at least one starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.82; going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.96; Interaction density and resilience from text tags; Going-first and going-second power from the hand-trap/starter balance; Ceiling (D3) read from Synchro/Link text rather than recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (null), matchup fit (D13) and tournament reliability inputs from usage share, since no dated meta or tournament data exist; Median output (D4) at midpoint
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags contradict the card list for about ten Extra Deck cards (e.g. Yummy Snatchy, Cupsy Way, Herald) — core_present_pct 52.2 is not used as evidence deck.title is null and the export has no side deck for Master Duel
