Numeron Deck #774280 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Blind-Second/OTK
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Numeron Gate OTK: Numeron Calling Special Summons up to 4 Numeron Gate Xyz monsters with different names, and their battle-damage ATK doubling (Numeron monsters) closes the game.; Winged Dragon of Ra recursion (three Ra forms in Main) reached through Monster Reborn, Millennium Revelation, Ancient Chant and Dangers of the Divine.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Numeron Network plus Numeron Calling (or Numeron Wall, which activates Network from the Deck) with an empty monster zone, then Calling the Gates and push damage. Two specific cards are required: about 5.5% in a 5-card opening.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand: clear the opponent's board with Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster or Forbidden Droplet, then run the Numeron line or Ra follow-up.
• Recovery: Recur Ra through Millennium Revelation, Dangers of the Divine or Ancient Chant. Numeron Wall and Numeron Network can be sent to the GY and reused from the Deck.
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an interaction-heavy shell (Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, Lightning Storm, Feather Duster, Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown, Metal Reflect Slime, Apophis Swamp Deity) and has several independent starters (Numeron Wall, Numeron Network, Ra searchers), but the Numeron OTK itself needs Network and Calling together, about 5.5% in a 5-card opening. The score comes from the system: strong going-second interaction and a high recorded-ceiling-equivalent OTK payoff, offset by a narrow engine, 28.3% exact-archetype purity, and dead Extra Deck slots such as the Sky Striker Ace links that lack Ace monsters in the Main Deck. Popularity in the archetype's usage data and the 2 guides confirm the list is real and accessible but did not earn points. Card scores were not averaged; no meta or win-rate data exists, so Meta Power is null and D13 is excluded from Structural.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Blind-Second/OTK profile; D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalised (sum 96) per the meta-neutral rule. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); single choke pair (-3); interaction breadth (2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(56.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 53.5; context modifiers -4 = 49.5, rounded to 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.06 · 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

• Layered interaction suite: Dark Hole, Heavy Storm, Lightning Storm, Feather Duster, Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown, Metal Reflect Slime
• Several starters (Numeron Wall, Numeron Network, Ra searchers) give partial access before the Calling line
• High OTK ceiling from Gate ATK doubling and 4-Gate Calling

Weaknesses

• Narrow engine: both Numeron Network and Numeron Calling are needed, about 5.5% in a 5-card opening
• Low exact-archetype purity (28.3%) with seven splash archetypes
• Sky Striker Ace links (Hayate, Kagari) need Sky Striker Ace monsters, which the Main Deck does not run
• No side deck in Master Duel, so no adaptation after a loss

Critical choke points

• Numeron Network in the Field Zone is required before Numeron Calling can resolve
• Numeron Calling requires that you control no monsters, which conflicts with Ra, Reactor Slime and Apophis lines

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel: 45 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, all size rules met; Five Limited cards (Harpie's Feather Duster, Heavy Storm, Maxx C, Monster Reborn, Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones) each run at 1 copy, which is legal; Card text for all listed cards from the evidence excerpts; Copy histogram 19/7/4 and Extra Deck breakdown 9 Xyz, 4 Link, 2 Fusion
• Observed: Usage stats show 100% inclusion for 25 archetype core cards, but in this deck flags for Extra Deck cards contradict the cards list (see data gaps)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and two-card probabilities (Network ≈ 0.30, Network+Calling ≈ 0.055); Brick, interaction and OTK ceiling estimates from text plus rules; Dead Extra slots for Sky Striker Ace links without Ace monsters in Main
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D12 side adaptability (no side deck in Master Duel); D13 matchup and format fit (no archetype share or tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, starter or OTK rates) usage statistics in this deck flags are false for Extra Deck cards (Numeron Gates, Kagari, Hayate, Silhouhatte Rabbit, Egyptian God Slime, Divine Serpent Apophis) that the cards list shows as present; missing core cards and core-card presence (60) therefore likely understate the deck's core coverage and should be re-checked in preprocess.py Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
