Dragonmaid Deck #773891 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Battle Phase bounce-summon chain from Dragonmaid starters into 2700-3000 ATK bodies (Cehrmba 2800, Lorpar 2700, Tinkhec 2700, Sheou 3500 in Extra) (Inferred from card text excerpts); Bystial DARK/LIGHT Dragon chains and Fusion/Link board presence (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open one of the 9 Kitchen/Chamber/Parlor Dragonmaid copies, use its summon effect to search or send another Dragonmaid, then Battle Phase bounce into a Level 7-9 Dragonmaid (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird or Maxx C for the opponent's first summon or draw, then convert from a second Dragonmaid starter (Inferred)
• Recovery: Dragonmaid Tidying banished from GY summons a Dragonmaid, Dragonmaid Changeover returns from GY by returning a Dragonmaid, Branded Regained and Maxx C supply draws (Inferred from excerpts)
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0); the in-game Battle Phase line is the plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens a live engine reliably enough: three 3-copy Dragonmaid starters give about 0.74 combined chance of at least one in an opening 5, and 12 searcher-text cards push the chance of a searcher hit to about 0.85 (Inferred from the hypergeometric draw table). Its strength is on the system: the Battle Phase bounce into high-level Dragonmaid bodies, nine hand traps and the Droll lock give several interaction windows, and the Extra Deck supplies 2500-3500 ATK closers. The score is not from Dragonmaid's popularity, which earns no points by itself, and not from averaging card scores. The main drags are a 47.3% exact-name archetype purity that splits the engine across Bystial, Rokket, Red-Eyes and Sangen cards, single-copy Limited tech with no backup, and an unreachable Xyz slot. Combo and matchup dimensions are unmeasured here, so they are scored from text or held neutral.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62.5, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: archetype dilution (-2); single-copy Limited dependence (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional, D13 dropped and weights renormalised): 0.80*62.5 + 0.20*62 = 62.4, then modifiers -3 = 59.4, rounded to 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Three 3-copy Dragonmaid starters with about 0.74 combined opening access
• Nine hand-trap copies plus Droll lock give interaction on both turns
• Boss bodies at 2500-3500 ATK with a Battle Phase bounce route
• Legal list with every Limited and Semi-Limited card at its cap

Weaknesses

• Exact-name purity of 47.3% dilutes the Dragonmaid engine
• Singleton tech and Fusion/Link pieces raise dead-card risk in hand
• Super Starslayer TY-PHON needs two Level 12 monsters the deck does not run
• No side deck, so no post-side adjustment

Critical choke points

• Battle Phase bounce is the main closing line; a negate or removal in that window ends the turn
• Single-copy Limited tech (Maxx C, Magnamhut, Sangen Kaimen, Foolish Burial) has no backup copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all restricted cards at or below legal copies; Archetype purity 47.3%; 29 off-archetype copies; Extra Deck split: Fusion 8, Link 6, Xyz 1; ATK values of boss monsters from card data
• Inferred: Opening access and searcher hit rates from hypergeometric draw table; Hand-trap coverage and brick risk; Battle Phase bounce engine and Fusion route from excerpts; Interaction quality and recursion; Pilotability from decision points
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated meta sample); Side plan (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 absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics marks Lady's Dragonmaid, Khaos Starsource Dragon, Filia Regis, Hieratic Seal and TY-PHON as in_this_deck:false although they appear in cards[] (zone extra); the stats seem to count main deck only, so missing_core and core_present_pct are unreliable archetype_core_group copies_in_deck 29 does not reconcile with 20 Dragonmaid-archetype main-deck copies Deck title is null
