Lunalight Deck #773842 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±6 · 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: Lunalight Fusion bosses (Liger Dancer 3800, Leo Dancer 3500, Sabre Dancer 3000, Panther Dancer 2800, Cat Dancer 2400) Fusion Summoned through Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion, or Lunalight Wolf's Fusion effect; Fire Fist Tiger King Xyz (negates face-up effect monsters once per turn) and Tri-Brigade Fraktall as a secondary board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Starter from Lunalight Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Silver Hound or Emerald Bird, search Lunalight pieces, then reach a Fusion enabler (Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion, or Wolf)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps Ash Blossom (3), Droll & Lock Bird (2) or Maxx C to strip the opponent's early plays, then Fusion Summon through the recovered board
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY: Silver Hound Special Summons a Lunalight from the Deck when sent to the GY by effect, Emerald Bird and Yellow Marten recur Lunalight monsters, and Luna Light Perfume Special Summons a Lunalight from the GY
• After siding: Not applicable: no side cards are run in the evidence, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck opens a Lunalight starter in almost every opening hand (30 core copies give P(at least one in 5) = 0.9996), and 15 searcher-text cards and recursive starters keep lines alive after one disruption, so consistency and resilience carry the score. The conversion is real but narrow: going first, the two Fusion enablers (Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion) reach an opening hand only about 24% of the time, and the 3-copy Gold Leo starter reaches one only about 34% of the time. Its ceiling comes from two-attack Fusion bosses with targeting immunity, and the going-second hand-trap density (6 traps, P(at least one in 6) = 0.65) helps it survive the opponent's first turn. Usage statistics confirm the list is the archetype's standard core and do not earn points by themselves, and no card scores were averaged; the 27 off-archetype copies (3 Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Triple Tactics Talent, Forbidden Droplet and similar) are scored as engine conflicts, not as strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); unrecoverable choke point (-2); engine redundancy (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated meta sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.24 · 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

• 30 core Lunalight copies with near-certain access to a Lunalight monster
• 6 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards give going-second interaction
• Five Fusion bosses with two-attack or immunity text give a high closing ceiling
• Recursion from GY and 15 searcher-text cards support multi-turn resilience

Weaknesses

• Fusion enablers are thin: 2 single-copy Fusion spells plus Wolf
• 3 Mulcharmy Fuwalos and several conditional spells are dead-prone
• Off-archetype splash (Fire Formation, Fire Fist, Mulcharmy, Tri-Brigade) dilutes the engine
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Reaching a Fusion enabler (Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion), roughly 24% going first in the opening hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all 6 restricted cards run at or below legal copies; Card text and stats for every card in cards[]; Archetype usage: 30 core Lunalight copies, Maxx C and Lunalight Fusion at 100% inclusion
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Lunalight core is the standard list (inclusion percentages only; no boards)
• Inferred: P(at least one Gold Leo in opening 5) = 0.34; P(Fusion enabler in opening 5) = 0.24 going first; Hand-trap coverage: P(at least one of 6 hand traps in a 6-card hand) = 0.65; Structural 65 and Final 61 from the Combo weight profile and modifiers
• Provisional: Meta Power (null; no dated meta sample); D13 matchup fit and D12 side adaptability (set neutral or low)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference (combo data.total combos = 0) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred usage statistics in this deck flags contradict cards[]: Leo Dancer, Liger Dancer, Perfume Dancer, Panther Dancer, S:P Little Knight, Dugares, Cross-Sheep and Zoodiac Broadbull show in this deck false despite copies in cards[]; missing core cards and core-card presence are therefore not used as a deficiency (suspected preprocessor defect) No side cards: Side Deck size 0, so post-side and D12 are not measurable from the evidence Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
