World Legacy Deck #774257 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual and Xyz/Link boards led by Ritual Murakumo, Habakiri and Dingirsu, with Enlilgirsu's control steal closing games; Orcust graveyard recursion (Harp Horror, Cymbal Skeleton, Girsu, Orcustrated Babel) chaining into Link and Xyz summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Harp Horror or Girsu starter (about 34% per 3-copy card in 5 cards), use Ash, Droll or Droplet to protect the first summon, then build a Link board with Galatea or Galatea-I
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (about 65% to hold one) and Dominus Impulse or Droplet on the opponent's summon, then Ritual Summon a Lv8 Mitsurugi through Mitsurugi Ritual
• Recovery: Orcustrated Babel and Galatea-I recover from the graveyard; Harp Horror re-summons an Orcust; Mitsurugi searchers (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi, Habakiri) restock the hand
• After siding: None. The deck runs no side cards and there is no in-match adjustment, so post-side adaptability is structurally absent (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a working Orcust or Mitsurugi starter: 12 searchers give about 85% odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and the archetype core group is about 98% present. Its interaction is dense (13 negation and 13 removal effects, 6 hand traps, 3 Dominus Impulse, 3 Forbidden Droplet), which gives it solid resilience and end-board control on the system. Its ceiling comes from Ritual Murakumo and Habakiri plus an 11-card Link and 4-card Xyz Extra Deck, and its recursion (Babel, Galatea-I, Harp Horror) carries it through disruption. Weaknesses are the 3-copy engine starters only about 34% likely in an opening hand, the lack of any side deck, and several Extra Deck Link bodies with little main-deck support. No recorded boards, tournament data or win rates exist, so the score is structural and Inferred, and it is not built from averaged card scores or from the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70/30. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Engine conflicts / weak Extra Deck support (-3); Off-archetype dead weight (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(58, meta-neutral, D13 excluded) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(52) + ContextModifiers(-6) = 50.8, rounded to 51 (Meta null/provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Dense interaction: 6 hand traps plus Dominus Impulse, Forbidden Droplet and Crescendo
• Searcher density (12) makes a starter likely in the opening hand
• Two Ritual Lv8 routes (Habakiri, Murakumo) plus Lv8 World Wand for Dingirsu and Zombie Vampire Xyz
• Strong end-board: Murakumo 3200, Zombie Vampire 3000, Enlilgirsu control steal
• Orcust graveyard recursion (Harp Horror, Cymbal Skeleton, Babel, Galatea-I) gives repeatable value

Weaknesses

• Engine starters (Harp Horror, Girsu) are 3-copy cards with about 34% opening-hand odds
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Dominus Impulse x3 and Mulcharmy x3 are weak in most hands
• Several Extra Deck Link monsters have little main-deck support
• Heavy reliance on single-copy Limited cards

Critical choke points

• First-turn starter access (Harp Horror or Girsu) for going first
• Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror as the only route to the Ritual Lv8 board
• Single-copy Limited staples: Maxx C, Mitsurugi Prayers, Foolish Burial, Crossout Designator

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, Master Duel size rules met; Restricted copies within legal_copies (Limited 1-copy, Semi-Limited 2-copy); Hypergeometric draw odds recomputed and matched
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap consistency from draw odds and card text; Interaction density and board-breaking from text; Ceiling and floor from text (no recorded boards)
• Provisional: Meta Power null; D13 neutral placeholder; no tournament or dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No recorded combos (total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics in_this_deck is false for Extra Deck cards the list does run (Galatea, Dingirsu, Knightmare Phoenix and Mermaid, Galatea-I, I:P Masquerena, S:P Little Knight, Longirsu, Enlilgirsu, King of the Feral Imps, The Zombie Vampire). core_present_pct 56 is therefore unreliable; all 25 core names are present in the list No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null
