Mulcharmy Deck #773776 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Level 8 Dragons (Albion, Arthalion, Shaulas, Gulamel, Mirrorjade, Secreterion) that end the opponent's turn on 3000 ATK boards, enabled by Dracotail and Branded fusion spells; Albaz Dragon chains (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Lubellion, Rindbrumm) that use Fallen-named starters to keep fusion pressure going after disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Dracotail or Fallen-named starter, use Ketu Dracotail or Dracotail Lukias to search, then fuse into Arthalion or Albion while holding Ash Blossom and Droll for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild a fusion board through Dracotail recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Dracotail Flame, Horn and Sting each return a Dracotail card from GY or banishment to the bottom of the Deck and draw 1, which rebuilds the Dracotail starter pool after an interruption
• After siding: Not scorable: the deck runs no side deck (Side Deck size 0) and Master Duel post-side data is absent

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into a live engine: the 11 searcher-text cards give about 0.82 odds of at least one searcher in the opening five, and the Dracotail and Fallen-named starters give a second route if the first one misses. Its ceiling is high because the Extra Deck holds several Level 8 fusions at 3000 ATK, and Branded Fusion and the Dracotail fusion spells convert hand and field material into them. Interaction is layered: six hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll and Lock Bird x2, Maxx C) plus Dracotail Sting, Flame and Horn cover the opponent's first response and recover the Dracotail pool. The score is held back by the mixed engine: only 6 of 40 main cards carry the exact Mulcharmy name (10.9% exact-name purity), so the Mulcharmy draw monsters are conditional bricks in a Dracotail and Albaz fusion shell, and the single Fallen of Albaz is a choke point. Popularity and usage-stat presence did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power evaluated on the whole system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: single choke point (-3); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*58 + 0.20*48 = 56, then -5 modifiers = 51

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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

• Searcher density: 11 searcher-text cards give about 0.82 odds of a searcher in an opening 5
• Layered interaction: six hand traps plus Dracotail Sting, Flame and Horn, with Albion the Sanctifire Dragon untargetable
• Closing power: four 3000 ATK Extra Deck monsters
• Every Limited and Semi-Limited copy is within the legal limit

Weaknesses

• Engine split: only 6 of 40 main cards carry the Mulcharmy name, so the Mulcharmy draw monsters are conditional bricks in a Dracotail and Albaz fusion deck
• Fallen-named starter group is only 3 cards, with about 0.34 odds of one in an opening 5
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and floor cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) and the Fallen-named starters, which gate Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Lubellion, Rindbrumm and Mirrorjade
• Branded Fusion (Limited, 1 copy) for the Branded fusion route

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all restricted copies within legal limits; Composition counts and copy histogram (12 singles, 8 doubles, 4 triples); Archetype purity 10.9% and the archetype spread; Usage statistics: 3 of 4 core cards present
• Inferred: Consistency and hypergeometric odds (searcher group 0.82; Fallen-named starters 0.34); Engine conflict and Mulcharmy conditional bricks; Interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 placeholder 50); Tournament reliability (no tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN: brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Data conflict: usage statistics lists S:P Little Knight (29301450) as missing core (in this deck false, copies 0), but cards[] includes it once in the Extra Deck and the Extra Deck breakdown counts 1 Link; the missing-core conclusion was not used deck.title is null, so the deck name is unknown No side deck (0 cards) in Master Duel, so post-side play is unscorable The export gives no Fallen-of-Albaz probability; the 0.34 figure was computed by hand from the 3-copy row
