• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Battle-phase and Fusion pressure: Dragonmaid Sheou (3500 ATK), House Dragonmaid and Filia Regis (3000 ATK), The Bystial Lubellion (2500/3000) and the Level 7+ Dragonmaid bosses (Tinkhec, Lorpar, Ernus, Cehrmba) that return to hand and Special Summon a Level 7 or 8 body.; Recursion through Dragonmaid Changeover and Battle-phase bounce of Level 3, 4 and 7+ Dragonmaid, which rebuilds the board from the GY after a disruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Level 3/4 Dragonmaid starter (Kitchen, Chamber or Parlor; 9 copies, about 74 percent to have at least one in a 5-card hand, Inferred), use its search or send trigger to fetch a Dragonmaid or Sangen Kaimen, then Fusion Summon via Dragonmaid Changeover or House Dragonmaid.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird or Maxx C (about 81 percent to have at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand, Inferred) to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through the Battle-phase bounce and a Fusion or Link line.
• Recovery: Dragonmaid Changeover and Dragonmaid Tidying are both recoverable from the GY, and Changeover returns a Dragonmaid to hand; Branded Regained and the Battle-phase returns refill the hand and the Extra Monster Zone.
• After siding: Not modelled: the list runs 0 side cards and the Master Duel single-game format offers no sideboard, so there is no post-side plan to score.

Why it scores here

The score comes from how the list as a whole behaves: three different Level 3/4 Dragonmaid starters at 3 copies each give a probable opening (about 74 percent going first, Inferred), and the Dragonmaid recursion (Changeover, Tidying, Battle-phase bounce) lets the deck come back after an interruption. Nine hand-trap and negation copies make it strong going second, and the Extra Deck of Fusions with 3000 to 3500 ATK bodies gives it closing power. Two things pull it down: the exact-name Dragonmaid purity is only 47.3 percent, because Bystial, Hieratic, Rokket, Salamangreat, Red-Eyes and Branded cards split the engine, and Super Starslayer TY-PHON is a near-dead Extra slot. Archetype popularity (the Dragonmaid guide and the 100 percent core inclusion) confirms the list is real and accessible but earned no points. No card scores were averaged, and the combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates because no recorded boards exist.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 66.2, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: engine dilution (-2); dead Extra-Deck slot (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(meta-neutral: D13 dropped, Midrange weights renormalised over 95) + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers; Meta provisional. (0.80*66.2 + 0.20*62 = 65.4; minus 3 modifiers = 62.4 -> 62)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Three different Level 3/4 starters at 3 copies each give redundant openings
• Nine hand-trap copies give going-second interaction and layering
• Dragonmaid recursion (Changeover, Tidying, Battle-phase bounce) gives a rebuild route
• High-ATK Fusion and Level 7+ boss bodies give closing power

Weaknesses

• Exact-name purity 47.3 percent; Bystial, Hieratic, Rokket, Salamangreat and Red-Eyes split the engine
• TY-PHON is a near-dead Extra slot with no Level 12 monsters in the Main Deck
• No side deck and no matchup or tournament data, so adaptability and meta fit cannot be confirmed
• Several engines need Dragon or DARK Dragon monsters in GY, which raises dead-draw risk

Critical choke points

• Dragonmaid Changeover: the main Fusion route and the GY recovery route both depend on it
• Level 3/4 starter copies (9): losing them to an early hand trap leaves the Battle-phase bosses slow to go live

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 are within the master-duel size rules; no copy-limit violations; Banlist statuses: Bystial Magnamhut, Foolish Burial, Maxx C and Sangen Kaimen are Limited at 1 copy; Droll and Lock Bird is Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Starter copy counts (9), hand-trap copies (9), Extra breakdown (8 Fusion, 6 Link, 1 Xyz) and ATK/DEF stats; Archetype core inclusion from usage_statistics (Dragonmaid core cards present at 100 percent)
• Observed: Guide mention of Dragonmaid as a build (popularity only, no points)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter estimate 0.742 going first and 0.808 going second (computed from the list); Hand-trap coverage on the going-second hand; Recursion and Battle-phase bounce as a rebuild route, read from card text; Pilotability: multi-step Fusion lines and per-turn effect limits
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample or tournament link; Post-side adaptability (D12): single-game format, no side deck
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second split, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck and no post-side evidence
