Tenpai Dragon Deck #773608 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro bosses from the Extra Deck (Red Dragon Archfiend, Scarlight, Burning Soul, Bane, Dis Pater) reached through Dragon Tuner plus non-Tuner chains started by Tenpai and Ecclesia/Fydraulis hand-summons.; Mulcharmy draw pressure with Pot of Sloth card advantage, converted into Synchro bosses later.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon Paidra or Genroku, add Sangen spell/trap, then build a Synchro boss with the Dragon Tuner and keep Droll or Maxx C for the draw-step response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll, Maxx C and Forbidden Droplet to answer the opponent's first summons and draws, then use Synchro boss swings to rebuild the board.
• Recovery: Revive Tenpai and Synchro Dragons from the GY (Fadra, Bystial Magnamhut banish, Scarlight/RDA GY access), and reuse Pot of Sloth and Mulcharmy draws to refill the hand.
• After siding: None: side_count is 0 in a best-of-3 format, so the deck has no sided adaptation.

Why it scores here

The deck's power is judged on the whole system, not on an average of its card scores. Its consistency is good: 12 searchers give P(at least one in an opening 5) of about 0.85, and several hand-summonable Dragons and Tuners (Ecclesia, Fydraulis, Paidra, Genroku, Resonators) open a live engine. Its ceiling is high, with 14 Synchro cards in the Extra Deck that include 3000–3500 ATK bosses and interaction, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences. Interaction is layered through hand traps (Droll, Maxx C), Droplet, Heavy Storm, Duster and Lightning Storm, and it is the main reason the structural score holds. The score is held back by the absence of any side deck, a thin exact Tenpai core (6 cards, 49 off-archetype copies), and copy-conditional bricks. Popularity and usage data confirm the list is real and accessible but earned no points, and meta power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 51. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); thin exact-archetype core (-2); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional/null); 0.80*64 + 0.20*51 - 6 = 55

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 Synchro boss suite in the Extra Deck (14 Synchro cards) with 3000-3500 ATK closers (Verified)
• 12 searchers give high opening-hand access (Verified count, Inferred probability)
• Layered interaction through hand traps, Droplet, Heavy Storm and negation-capable Extra Deck bosses (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• No side deck in a best-of-3 format (Verified)
• Only 6 exact Tenpai Dragon cards; most of the deck is off-archetype (Verified)
• Several conditional bricks (Droplet, Sloth, Mulcharmy, Heavy Storm, Lightning Storm) (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Fallen of the White Dragon (1 copy) is the only route to Alba-Lenatus, the sole Fusion in the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Chundra (1 copy, Limited) is the only exact Tenpai Tuner (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal for master-duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; no copy-limit violations; Searcher text in 12 copies; negation text in 4; removal text in 8; Extra Deck is 14 Synchro and 1 Fusion; Side deck is 0 with a maximum of 15
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric draws (P>=1 searcher in 5 = 0.85); Synchro ceiling read from card text (RDA, Scarlight, Burning Soul, Bane, Dis Pater); Brick and dead-card estimates for Droplet, Sloth, Mulcharmy and field-conditional spells; Interaction and resilience reads from card text and role hints
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability after side and matchup variance
• 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 match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Evidence conflict: usage_statistics marks Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion (18969888), Sangenpai Bident Dragion (82570174), Kuibelt the Blade Dragon (87837090) and Trident Dragion (39402797) as not in this deck, yet the cards array lists the first three in the Extra Deck and the fourth is absent from the list; the reported 14 of 21 core present and missing_core list are therefore unreliable (18 of 21 by the cards array, with Baronne de Fleur, Odd-Eyes Meteorburst and Hiita absent) Side deck is empty, so no post-side or sideboard performance can be estimated
