Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Synchro Summon Stardust Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon or Shooting Quasar Dragon and attack through a 2500-4000 ATK board; Synchro Overtop revives a Level 7/8 Dragon Synchro from the GY (only Stardust Dragon qualifies in this list); Converging Wishes is a late-game equip threat
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner (Stardust Synchron or Shining Star Dragon) plus a tribute-capable monster; Tribute into Synchron or Stardust Trail, then Synchro Summon the first Stardust or Dragon boss while holding Forbidden Droplet for the opponent's response
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird and Shining Star Dragon for the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild the Synchro line from the GY with Stardust Trail and Synchron recursion
- Recovery: Stardust Synchron and Stardust Trail recur from the GY; Stardust Dragon and Red Supernova can be Special Summoned from the GY, so one interrupted board can be rebuilt on the next turn
- After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no side deck, so no post-side plan is scored
Why it scores here
The deck is a compact nine-distinct-card main deck built around Stardust Synchron, Stardust Trail and Shining Star Dragon. Seven starter-type cards in a 20-card main give a hypergeometric opening-hand chance of about 0.92 of at least one starter (Inferred). The Stardust Dragon, Red Supernova Dragon and Shooting Quasar Dragon boss package has multiple Quick Effect negations and 2500 to 4000 ATK, and three Droll, Shining Star and Droplet cards give layered interaction. Floor and median output cannot be measured because the evidence contains no recorded boards, so D3 and D4 rest on card text and are kept near neutral. Popularity and the guide's claim of meta presence did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 72 | P(at least one of 7 starter-type cards in a 5-card opening) ≈ 0.92 from hypergeometric count; Synchron needs a tribute target and Trail needs one, so live-ness is partial (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 62 | 12 monsters and 8 non-monsters in the main; Converging Wishes and Synchro Overtop are narrow dead-card risks (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 65 | Ceiling from text: Trail and Synchron chain into Synchro Summons, and Stardust Dragon plus Shooting Quasar give repeated negation and 4000 ATK; no recorded boards exist (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 55 | No combo evidence supplied, so floor and median are unmeasured and held near neutral (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 74 | Recursion from the GY through Synchron, Trail, Stardust Dragon and Red Supernova, plus three hand-trap or negation tools for interruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 66 | Synchron and Trail recur from the GY, On Your Mark searches a Synchron, and Synchro Overtop can revive a Dragon Synchro (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 80 | Stardust Dragon and Stardust Warrior negate, Shooting Quasar and Red Supernova add layered removal and negation text, plus Droll, Shining Star and Droplet (Inferred from card text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 70 | Droll (≈0.68 in a 6-card going-second hand) and Shining Star give going-second interaction; Kiteroid covers battle damage (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 76 | End-board attackers: Shooting Quasar 4000 ATK, Red Supernova 4000 ATK, Stardust Warrior 3000 ATK, Trishula 2700 ATK (Verified from card stats) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 74 | Nine distinct main cards, twelve monsters, and eight non-monsters in 20 slots, so the list is compact with few flex slots (Verified from composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 70 | Nine Synchro cards fill the 9-slot Extra Deck; both Stardust Dragon and Red Supernova run 2 copies; no flex slots remain (Verified from composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 50 | Duel Links has no side deck, so this dimension is neutral and not scored (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 55 | No tournament link and no dated metagame sample; the guide's meta claim is noted but not scored (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 55 | Multi-step Synchro chains with many tribute and summon decisions, so pilotability is moderate to demanding (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 68, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); narrow-target dead cards (-2); missing archetype-standard core (-1); engine compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*68.3 + 0.20*62.4 - 2 ≈ 65
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.45 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Compact nine-card main with three-copy staples
- Boss Synchros with 2500 to 4000 ATK and negation effects
- Layered interaction: Droll, Shining Star, Droplet and Synchro negations
- Recursion from the GY through Synchron, Trail and the Stardust Dragons
Weaknesses
- No recorded boards, so floor and median output are unmeasured
- Narrow-target cards: Synchro Overtop has one qualifying target, and Converging Wishes needs five Dragon Synchro names in the GY
- Several archetype-standard Synchro cards are absent per usage stats
- Nine-card Extra Deck with no flex slots
Critical choke points
- Stardust Synchron and Stardust Trail both need a tribute target, so an empty board stalls the first summon
- Synchro Overtop and Converging Wishes have narrow targets and tend to become dead cards in the opening
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Converging Wishes (1 copy) | Synchro Rumble or Satellite Warrior if the Duel Links card pool allows (verify legality first) | Both are archetype-standard per usage stats, and Wishes needs five Dragon Synchro names in the GY before it does anything |
| 2 | Synchro Overtop (1 copy) | a second Stardust Synchron or a Stardust Trail-compatible starter | Overtop has only one qualifying target in the list, so its opening-hand value is narrow |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: 20 main, 9 extra, 0 side, Crimson Dragon at 1 of 1 and Kiteroid at 2 of 2; Card stats and text for the listed monsters and spells; Usage stats: core list and inclusion percentages
- Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability (≈0.92) and brick estimates from the hypergeometric model; Combo ceiling and interaction read from card text; Going-first and going-second interaction estimates
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D12 side-deck score (no side deck exists in Duel Links); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Evidence inconsistency: usage statistics marks Crimson Dragon, Stardust Dragon, Shooting Quasar, Stardust Warrior and Red Supernova as in this deck:false, but cards[] lists them in the Extra Deck, so the usage matcher seems to have ignored the Extra Deck. Core coverage (37.5%) is therefore understated; the Extra Deck was read from cards[] Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
