Rikka Deck #773623 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Plant-based Link/XYZ board built from Rikka and Aroma starters, closing with Teardrop the Rikka Queen (2800 ATK) and Aromalilith Magnolia / Rosemary (link board presence); Sunavalon/Sunvine link chain via Sunseed Genius Loci and Sunseed Twin for extra board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): T1 Normal or Special Summon a Plant starter (Mudan, Snowdrop, Ragnaraika Samurai Beetle, Aromage Laurel) with a search via Rikka Konkon, Ragnaraika Bloom, or Unexpected Dai, then build a Link board off the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll and Lock Bird x2, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit) to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Plant starters and Link Summons
• Recovery: Rikka Petal and Sunseed Twin recursion from the GY, Ragnaraika searchers, and Humid Winds / Aroma Blend for the next starter
• After siding: Not evaluable: Side Deck size is 0 and no side list or post-side data is supplied

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Plant board reliably: the 30 archetype-core copies give an estimated 99% chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand, and several independent starters (Ragnaraika the Evil Seed, Unexpected Dai, Rikka Glamour, Rikka Konkon, Ragnaraika Bloom) keep the first turn from depending on a single card. It converts that board into Link and XYZ presence through a full 12-card Extra Deck, with the Teardrop and Magnolia/Rosemary lines giving high closing power on paper. It survives disruption through 7 hand traps and recursion from the GY, which is why interaction and resilience score above the median, but there is no recorded combo data, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences. It is penalized for a split engine (exact-name archetype purity 17.7%, with Aroma, Sunvine, Sunavalon, Ragnaraika, Primite and Mulcharmy all present), for Plant-only summon restrictions that conflict with the non-Plant Mulcharmy and Insect Ragnaraika cards, and for having no side deck or post-side data. Popularity and archetype usage were not treated as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); multi_archetype_dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Near-certain archetype-core access in opening 5 (~99%)
• Redundant T1 starters across Plant, Ragnaraika and Rikka lines
• Seven hand traps covering common going-second interaction
• Full 12-card Extra Deck with high-ATK Link and XYZ closers

Weaknesses

• Split engine: exact-name archetype purity is 17.7% and archetypes are mixed
• Plant-only summon restrictions conflict with non-Plant Mulcharmy and Insect Ragnaraika cards
• LP-costed interaction and combo lines (Humid Winds, Primite Roar, guide's one-third LP cost)
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• Unmeasured combo floor and median

Critical choke points

• Plant starter access in hand, since most T1 lines need a Plant or Rikka starter or the Konkon/Glamour search
• Extra Deck link-material availability for the Link chain (Sunseed Genius Loci into Sunavalon)
• The Plant-only summon restriction, which can lock out the deck's own non-Plant cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 50, Extra 12, side 0; legal on Master Duel size and banlist rules; Maxx C Limited at 1 copy; Droll and Lock Bird Semi-Limited at 2 copies, both within limits; Card stats and text from evidence cards; Archetype usage stats: Core cards present 18/25 (72%) in usage statistics
• Observed: Guide snippet describes the deck as a Plant combo that costs one-third LP and is hand-dependent (one guide, Vietnamese source)
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric, main deck only); Going-first and going-second power splits; Structural dimension scores; Interaction density from text tags; Engine-conflict assessment from summon restrictions
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Side adaptability (D12)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo ceiling, median and floor are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power provisional: no dated metagame sample Evidence inconsistency: usage statistics marks 7 Extra Deck core cards (Sunvine Healer, Sunavalon Melias, Benghalancer, Aromalilith Rosemary, Aromalilith Magnolia, Rikka Queen Strenna, Teardrop the Rikka Queen) as in this deck:false, but they are listed in cards with zone extra. The 18/25 core-present figure is treated as unreliable and not penalized No side deck or post-side data No tournament, matchup or banlist-change history
