• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a HERO boss (Contrast HERO Chaos, Favorite HERO Shining Flare Wingman, Elemental HERO Sunrise is not run) through Polymerization-family spells and Miracle Fusion, backed by HERO searchers; Vision/Destiny HERO and Mulcharmy board pressure with Fusion Destiny and recursion from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 searcher (Vision HERO Vyon, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, E - Emergency Call or Elemental HERO Stratos) into Polymerization or Super Polymerization for a 2-3 card board, keeping Ash Blossom and Maxx C for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C) to stop the opponent's board, then Fusion Summon through the surviving board
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Destiny HERO - Malicious, Destiny HERO - Drawhand, Masked HERO Furnace and Masked HERO Dusk Crow, which all re-summon from the GY or Deck
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is single-game with no side deck (side_count 0 is within the 0-15 rule)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: 14 searcher-text cards give P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) of about 0.89 (Inferred), and the 19-copy archetype core gives about 0.96 for at least one core card in hand. Going-first and going-second interaction (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Crossout Designator) carries the score, since seven hand traps and roughly 16 removal-text cards cover most turn-1 and turn-2 disruption. Fusion conversion is real but thin: only about five Fusion-enabling spells back nine Fusion monsters, and the core boss Elemental HERO Sunrise and Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer are absent. No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and are kept moderate. Popularity and the archetype's usage stats confirm the list is real, but they added no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); engine conflicts (-2); searcher density (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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 HERO searcher coverage (14 searcher-text cards) gives reliable turn-1 access
• Seven hand traps plus Droll, Maxx C and Crossout cover a wide range of interruptions
• Recursion from the GY (Malicious, Drawhand, Furnace, Dusk Crow) gives route redundancy
• Legal under the Master Duel size and copy rules

Weaknesses

• Only about five Fusion-enabling spells for nine Fusion monsters
• Core bosses Elemental HERO Sunrise, Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer and Masked HERO Dark Law are absent
• Around six Extra Deck slots are off-plan (Lswarm, D/D, Predaplant, Cross-Sheep, Requiem, Dugares)
• No recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Polymerization-family access: Polymerization, Super Polymerization x2, Miracle Fusion and Fusion Destiny are the only Fusion routes
• Limited and Semi-Limited copies (Maxx C, Reinforcement, Droll) cannot be replaced past the cap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under Master Duel size rules (41 main, 15 extra, 0 side) and copy limits; Usage stats show 14 of 25 core cards present; core Sunrise and Destroyer are missing
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) ~0.89; Interaction density from hand traps and removal text; Fusion route count of about five enablers
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• 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 exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
