Fairy Tail Deck #773592 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · 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: Fusion Summon a boss (Dracotail Arthalion, Dracotail Gulamel, Mysterion, Secreterion Dragon) from the Extra Deck, with Fairy Tail Ball granting direct attacks as a closing route; Recursion-driven card advantage from Dracotail monsters and draw-on-resolve traps (Dracotail Horn, Sting, Flame)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Fairy Tail - Luna or Ketu Dracotail to search, then Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck using hand and field materials (Ketu, Faimena, Mululu, Rahu, Instant Fusion, Super Polymerization as enablers)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C) and spell/trap negation (Crossout Designator, Forbidden Crown, Dracotail Flame) to slow the opponent, then rebuild a Fusion boss from Dracotail recursion
• Recovery: Dracotail monsters in the GY (Phryxul, Urgula, Pan, Lukias) and Dracotail draw spells (Horn, Sting, Flame) return cards to the Deck and draw, refilling the hand after disruption
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0 is legal). Adaptation is limited to Extra Deck choice and in-game play

Why it scores here

The deck opens into a real Fairy Tail and Dracotail engine through Normal Summon and search cards (Luna, Ketu, Fairy Tail Ball, Dracotail Lukias) that feed a 12-card Fusion Extra Deck. Any single 3-copy starter is live in only about one opening hand in three (P(>=1) = 0.34), so the score rests on the system's redundancy and interaction, not on one reliable line. Interaction is the strongest block: six hand traps, Crossout Designator, Forbidden Crown and the Dracotail spell/trap set give layered answers, and the Fusion bosses close games. The main weaknesses are 17 singleton main-deck cards, only 20% exact-name archetype purity with an 18-copy Dracotail and Mulcharmy splash, and zero recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. Popularity earned no points, and no individual card scores were averaged into this deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine compactness (-3); banlist exposure (-2); interaction density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.1 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: six hand traps plus Crossout Designator, Forbidden Crown and Dracotail spell/trap negation
• Fusion bosses in the Extra Deck give a high-ATK closing route
• Dracotail recursion and draw-on-resolve traps provide card advantage over a long game

Weaknesses

• 17 singleton main-deck cards reduce opening-hand functionality
• Two-archetype splash plus Mulcharmy lowers engine coherence (20% exact-name purity)
• Several key Fusion enablers are 1-of Limited cards with no backup

Critical choke points

• Fusion access depends on Ketu, Faimena, Mululu, Rahu, Instant Fusion or Super Polymerization; losing these to hand traps stalls the Extra Deck
• Fairy Tail Ball + Luna bootstrap is about 10% in a 5-card opener

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 40 main, 15 extra, copy limits respected (Limited 1-of, Semi-Limited 2-of); Card text and stats from resolved card records; Archetype usage statistics (38 rows, core 25 cards); Extra Deck composition: 12 Fusion, 2 Xyz, 1 Link
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, bootstrap and brick estimates; Hand-trap and interaction density from role tags and text; Combo ceiling and floor from text only (no recorded boards); Going-first and going-second splits from card text
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference (combos_evidence.total_combos = 0) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent usage_statistics.in_this_deck appears to test Main Deck only: all 10 missing_core entries (Teller, Weaver, Gulamel, Garura, Mysterion, Secreterion, Arthalion, Favorite HERO, Mudragon, Wiccat) are Extra Deck cards that this deck runs, so core_present_pct = 60 understates real presence (25 of 25 core cards are present) No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred Deck title is null; deck name not available Master Duel has no side deck; D12 is not differentiating
