Kaiju Deck #774221 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Blind-Second/OTK
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board-breaking Kaiju Special Summons (Dogoran, Thunder King, Radian, Gameciel, Kumongous) and 2800-3300 ATK beaters, fed by the Danger! hand-reveal engine.; Link beaters (Borrelsword Dragon and Borreload Dragon, 3000 ATK) once Link material is on the field.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on the Danger! hand-reveal chain for card flow and a searcher line (Kyoutou Waterfront, Kashtira Fenrir); Kaiju summons are unavailable until the opponent controls a monster.
• Turn 2 (going second): Answer the opponent's first monster with a Kaiju tribute Special Summon, protected by Ash Blossom and followed by Interrupted Kaiju Slumber to clear the board.
• Recovery: Danger! monsters re-summon from hand whenever they are discarded, Upstart Goblin and searchers rebuild the hand, and Kaiju Slumber resets the field.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The structural score comes from the system: the Danger! hand-reveal engine is live in about 95% of opening 5-card hands (Inferred, hypergeometric over 17 Danger! monsters), and it feeds Kaiju board-breakers and 2800-3300 ATK beaters that convert a going-second board. The score does not come from Kaiju or Danger! popularity, and card scores were not averaged. No recorded boards exist (combos_evidence total 0), so median and ceiling output are Inferred from card text and confidence stays Low. The list is split across three archetypes plus generic Links (exact-name purity 25.5%), the Extra Deck has no Kaiju Link, and Kaiju summons need an opponent monster, which caps going-first. Final 53 with a ±8 band; Meta Power is null and Tournament Reliability is Inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Engine conflict across archetypes (-3); Kaiju summon needs an opponent monster (-2); No Kaiju Link in Extra Deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*60.09 + 0.20*56 - 6 = 53.27

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Danger! engine is live in roughly 95% of opening 5-card hands (Inferred)
• Kaiju tribute summons and Interrupted Kaiju Slumber convert a going-second board
• Several high-ATK beaters: Thunder King 3300, Dogoran 3000, Borrelsword 3000, Radian 2800
• Redundant card flow: 3 Upstart Goblin, 10 searcher-text cards, Danger! draw on summon

Weaknesses

• Three archetypes plus generics: exact-name purity 25.5%, so engine coherence is weak
• Kaiju summons are dead going first until the opponent controls a monster
• Extra Deck has no Kaiju Link; Link access depends on other archetypes
• Only 3 hand traps (Ash Blossom), so going-second interaction is thin
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are not measured

Critical choke points

• Opening hand with no Danger! monster (about 5% of 5-card hands) and no Kaiju-compatible board for a going-first opponent
• Single hand-trap type (Ash Blossom x3) against a going-second opponent's first response

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all 35 distinct cards Unlimited; Attack values and copy counts from the card list; Archetype spread: Danger! 18, Kaiju 14, generic 14, others 9
• Inferred: Danger! starter P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.949; Kaiju summons require an opponent monster, so they are dead going first; Engine conflict and Link access from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Side-deck and matchup scores are not measurable in Master Duel; Tournament Reliability is an estimate with no tournament data
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter or OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null Conflict in source data: usage_statistics marks S:P Little Knight (ref 29301450) as missing, but the card list includes it in the Extra Deck; this evaluation trusts the card list, so core coverage may be 6/6, not 5/6
