Heroic Deck #774304 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 63/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a 2500-3100 ATK Elemental HERO or Contrast HERO boss (Shining Neos Wingman, Contrast HERO Chaos x2, Sunrise, Trinity) through Polymerization-family spells, Fusion Destiny and Miracle Fusion.; Masked HERO Dark Law and Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer as board-control closers once the fusion line lands.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a starter that searches or special-summons (Polymerization, Fusion Destiny, Mask Change, Masked HERO Furnace or Fountain reveal), then fuse into a boss while holding Ash Blossom or Forbidden Droplet for the follow-up.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold Ash Blossom, Forbidden Droplet or Droll & Lock Bird against the opponent's first major play, then rebuild the fusion line from Deck or GY recursion (Destiny HERO - Malicious, Masked HERO Dusk Crow).
• Recovery: Recover through GY-based Special Summons (Destiny HERO - Malicious, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, Vision HERO Vyon effects) and the 13 searcher-text cards to rebuild the Extra Deck line.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0); no post-side plan can be scored, so this is treated as a single-game Master Duel build.

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a functional starter: the archetype core is effectively always present (the 2-card proxy for at least one core card in a 5-card hand is 0.997, and searcher-text cards reach 0.84 in five cards), so consistency is solid but not elite given Limited/single-copy tech that can brick. Its strength is the system, not the average of its cards: multiple independent routes (Destiny HERO - Malicious and Dusk Crow from hand/GY, Polymerization-family spells, Fusion Destiny) let the engine continue after one disruption, and 5 hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet give real interaction on the opponent's first play. The ceiling and closing power come from 2500-3100 ATK fusions, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are inferred from text only and not treated as observed output. Popularity of the Heroic archetype and the Vietnamese guide did not earn points, and the deck has no side deck, so the post-side dimension is scored low. The score was built from the weighted dimensions of a Combo profile (D13 removed, renormalized) and was not produced by averaging card power scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo (D13 removed, renormalized over 97). Structural ≈ 65, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: archetype core fully present (2); banlist exposure (-1); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is fully present and compact in its engine cards (3 copies of Fusion Destiny, Malicious, Ash and Droplet)
• Multiple independent starter routes from hand, Deck and GY
• Five hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet give real going-second interaction
• Large fusion bosses give closing power from a 15-card Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• No side deck: zero post-side flexibility
• Several single-copy conditional cards (Crossout, Foolish Burial, Maxx C, Reinforcement) add brick and dead-card risk
• No recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median cannot be verified
• High fusion sequencing demand lowers pilotability

Critical choke points

• Fusion Destiny and Polymerization-family spells are the main fusion access; losing them to hand traps or Crossout Designator limits boss access
• Ash Blossom and Forbidden Droplet are the primary answers; a single dead hand reduces going-second stability

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 44 main, 15 extra, 0 side, all restricted cards within legal copy counts; Card text for all 44 main and 15 extra cards; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown (11 Fusion, 4 Link)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap probabilities (0.84, 0.54); Ceiling and median ratings from fusion ATK and card text (no recorded boards); Going-first and going-second splits from card text and hand-trap odds; Brick and pilotability estimates
• Provisional: Dimension D13 (matchup and format fit) and Meta Power, which need a dated metagame sample; Dimension D12 (side deck adaptability), since the build has no side deck
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent usage statistics in this deck flags are inconsistent: Sunrise, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer, Dark Law, Infernal Devicer, Vision HERO Trinity, Voltic Thunder and Flame Wingman Infernal Rage are listed as missing core cards but are present in the Extra Deck, so the 18/25 presence figure undercounts; the true core presence is 25/25 no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck list, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated
