Warrior Combo Deck #773428 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Warrior and FIRE monster chains (Fire Flint Lady, Sublimation Knight, Infernoble Knight - Renaud, Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter) feeding Link-summoned 2700-3000 ATK boss monsters from the Extra Deck; Bamboo Sword equip pressure and direct attacks with Phoenix Gearblade second attacks
• Turn 1 (going first): Starter Warrior or FIRE monster, search a second Warrior with a searcher effect, then Link Summon a 3000 ATK link through the Warrior and FIRE monsters
• Turn 2 (going second): Weak without hand traps: rely on Thunder of Ruler or Trap Trick timing and Link boss interaction (Underworld Goddess, Pitknight Earlie) to stabilise, then convert with links
• Recovery: Searchers (10 cards) and the Bamboo Sword and Renaud graveyard effects rebuild the starter; Battlin' Boxer and Sublimation Knight recurse from the graveyard
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Warrior starter: ten searcher-text cards give a 77% chance of at least one searcher in the opening five, and the 9 copies of the four main starters give roughly 73% of at least one starter in the opening hand (Inferred). Conversion relies on an Extra Deck of 12 Link monsters, several reaching 2700-3000 ATK, so the closing power is strong when the chain connects. The score is held down by brick and monster-density risk: only 14 known monsters sit among 41 main-deck cards, the spell and trap count is 26, and roughly 11% of opening hands have no monster at all (Inferred). Interaction is thin with no hand traps, three floodgates that partly hurt the deck's own graveyard plays, and no side deck, so going-second and post-side performance score low. Popularity and usage data were not used to add points, and the score was built from the system rather than from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: engine_conflicts (-3); dead_extra_access (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*48 - 4 = 47

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.11 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Ten searcher-text cards give a high chance of a searcher in hand
• Extra Deck carries several 2700-3000 ATK Link bosses
• Multiple graveyard recursion effects (Boxer, Sublimation Knight, Renaud)

Weaknesses

• Low monster density (14 of 41 main cards) with 26 spell or trap slots
• No hand traps and no going-second plan
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Self-hurting floodgates and Terminal World conflict with the graveyard and Main Phase 2 plan
• Off-archetype spread: 55 copies outside the exact archetype name

Critical choke points

• Starter monsters (Fire Flint Lady, Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter, Sublimation Knight, Renaud): 9 copies combined carry the engine
• Extra-Deck Link summons depend on Warrior and FIRE material availability
• One unresolved passcode (45231177) counted as a main-deck slot

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 41 and Extra 14 within master-duel size rules (40-60 / 0-15); Reinforcement of the Army is Limited at 1 copy and is run at 1 copy; Link ATK totals from card data (3000, 3000, 3000, 2800, 2700); Searcher-text group probability 0.77 from the evidence file
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities from the hypergeometric estimate; Interaction density and going-second read from card text; Floodgate self-conflicts from card text; Closing-power conversion from ATK totals and text
• Provisional: Meta power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Median 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 match record absent One passcode (45231177) in the card list could not be resolved and is counted as a main-deck slot Usage statistics list cards from other archetypes (Mikanko, Artmage, Elfnotes) as 100% core, so the core-present figure of 16% is unreliable No side deck, so no post-side evidence No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
