Tenpai Dragon Deck #773849 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tenpai Dragon and Sangen Fire Dragon boards (Paidra, Fadra, Chundra, Transcendent Dragion, Baronne) plus Sky Striker Ace and Odd-Eyes/Fusion bosses converting after a staple-heavy interaction-and-draw turn; Mulcharmy draw-engine card advantage that eventually sustains a board of 3000-ATK synchros and fusions
• Turn 1 (going first): Sangen Summoning or Sky Striker Mobilize to find a Tenpai monster, pair it with Forbidden Droplet/Pot of Sloth for card advantage, and hold Red Reboot or Heavy Storm for the opponent's first big play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Maxx C, Red Reboot, Harpie's Feather Duster, Dark Hole, Heavy Storm or Lightning Storm to clear the opponent's board, then rebuild with Mulcharmy draws and a Tenpai or Sky Striker starter
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons and Pot of Sloth refills hand; Sangen and Genroku recursion restores Fire Dragon bodies from the GY
• After siding: No side deck in this format; the 15-card Extra Deck is the only adaptation lever

Why it scores here

This list reliably opens interaction and draw, not a single engine: 58 in D1 reflects that only 6 Tenpai Dragon monsters are in the Main Deck (P of at least one Tenpai monster in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.58 by hypergeometric estimate, Inferred), so the Tenpai plan is live but not guaranteed on turn 1. Its real strength is seven-plus interaction cards (Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Dark Hole, Lightning Storm, Maxx C, two Red Reboot, Forbidden Droplet), which earned D7 at 78 as an end-board interaction read from card text, not from measured boards. Conversion and median output are weak: there are no recorded combos, so D3 and D4 sit at 45 and 40 on text-only inference, and the archetype is only 10.9% exact-name purity with 49 off-archetype copies, so this is a Toolbox build around a thin Tenpai core. Popularity did not earn points: the Tenpai Dragon usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but the score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from averaging individual card scores. Meta Power and matchup fit stay Provisional at 50 because no dated metagame sample exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary (about 85%) with Midrange secondary for the Tenpai and Sangen midrange core, disclosed as a judgement. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57.75 + 0.20*56 - 4 ≈ 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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

• Seven-plus interaction cards across spell, trap and monster removal or negation
• Redundant starter families (Tenpai, Sky Striker, Mulcharmy, Sangen) with recursion
• Strong closing bosses at 3000 ATK in the Extra Deck
• Legal in format with no copy-limit violations

Weaknesses

• Thin Tenpai core: 6 Main Deck monsters, 10.9% exact-name purity
• No recorded combo evidence, so conversion and median output are inferred
• Conditional staples (Pot of Sloth, Fuwalos, Purulia, Triple Tactics) can brick on an empty or full field
• Three hand-traps only, so going-second interaction is limited

Critical choke points

• Tenpai Dragon starter access (6 Main Deck monsters) for the Fire Dragon plan
• Sangen Summoning and Sangen Kaimen as the only searchers into the Fire Dragon line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within master-duel size rules; All restricted cards are within legal copy limits; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown (6 synchro, 6 fusion, 3 link); Tenpai Dragon exact-name purity 10.9%
• Observed: Usage statistics show the archetype core is present (14 of 21 core cards)
• Inferred: Starter probabilities from hypergeometric estimates; Brick and interaction reads from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13 placeholder 50); Side and post-side plan (not applicable in Master Duel)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, or brick and starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Master Duel has no side deck, so D12 is non-applicable
