Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link pressure from high-ATK Elemental HERO bosses (Contrast HERO Chaos, Shining Neos Wingman, Sunrise, Dark Law, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer) built from Polymerization, Miracle Fusion and Fusion Destiny; Vision HERO Trinity and Destiny HERO recursion as follow-up threats once the first fusion lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Search an Elemental HERO with E - Emergency Call, A Hero Lives or Stratos, pair it with Polymerization or Miracle Fusion, and Fusion Summon a boss; hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird behind it
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Droll & Lock Bird in response to the opponent's search or summon, then rebuild a fusion from the remaining hand and GY with Vyon, Faris or Miracle Ejector
• Recovery: Recur HERO monsters from the GY through Vision HERO Vyon, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, Xtra HERO Cross Crusader and Destiny HERO - Denier, and continue fusing from the Extra Deck
• After siding: No side deck in Master Duel (side_count 0); post-side plan not applicable in this format

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan at about 0.82 odds of at least one of its 17 searcher-text cards in a 5-card opening hand, and the 27-copy archetype core is almost always present (about 0.96). Its conversion is strong on the system: several Extra Deck bosses (Chaos, Shining Neos Wingman, Sunrise, Dark Law) reach 2,500 to 3,100 ATK from a fusion starter, and six hand traps plus Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and Forbidden Crown/Droplet give it real interaction on the end board. The score is held back by a mixed build (only about 27 of 60 main cards are on-theme HERO cards, with Destiny, Vision, Masked, Mulcharmy, Predaplant and Change all competing for the same slots), by heavy dependence on fusion materials and a fragile hand that often needs two specific pieces, and by the lack of recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are inferred rather than measured. Popularity and archetype usage did not add points; the score comes from consistency, conversion, interaction and boss power on the list as built, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, with Midrange-leaning blend disclosed; primary weights used for Structural. Structural ≈ 57.8, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*57.8 + 0.20*52 - 5 = 51.6, rounded to 52

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

• Core HERO searchers at about 0.82 access in an opening hand
• Strong Extra Deck bosses reaching 2,500 to 3,100 ATK
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Forbidden Crown and Droplet
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with fusion and Link coverage

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity: 0% exact-name purity and only 22 Elemental HERO copies as the core
• Heavy fusion-material dependence with no recorded boards to confirm a floor
• 24 Level-0 spells/traps lower the monster density for a hand
• High execution demand across Contact Fusion, Favorite Contact and multi-step recursion

Critical choke points

• A fusion starter that needs Polymerization or Miracle Fusion plus two specific HERO materials
• Limited cards (Maxx C, Foolish Burial, Crossout Designator, Reinforcement of the Army, Predaplant Verte Anaconda) each run once, so losing one removes a line
• Neo-Spacian contact requires Aqua Dolphin or Neos, each present only once

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, 60 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within size rules; Copy limits: Maxx C, Foolish Burial, Crossout Designator, Reinforcement of the Army and Predaplant Verte Anaconda at 1 copy each; Droll & Lock Bird at 2 copies (Semi-Limited); Card text and boss ATK/DEF values as listed in the evidence; Core usage: 25 core cards, 15 present (60%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand access of about 0.82 for searchers and 0.96 for the archetype core (hypergeometric); Fusion line floor and ceiling estimated from text, since no boards were recorded; Hand-trap and negation coverage from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null, so the archetype label is used as the deck name
