Polymerization Deck #774713 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion or Link Summon Cyber End Dragon / Cyberdark End Dragon / Cyber Twin Dragon, usually enabled by the Cyber Dragon engine (Cyber Dragon, Nachster, Core, Jormungardr) or Future Fusion Nova, then attacking through a 4000–5000 ATK body; Cyber Dragon Sieger (Link 2, 2100 ATK) and Cyber Dragon Nova (XYZ) as board-presence and repeated-attack finishers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Cyber Dragon-family monster (Nachster, Core, Jormungardr, or Cyber Dragon Luminous when the board is empty), search or summon the next Cyber/Cyberdark piece, and hold Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the first disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx "C") to blank the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Cyber Dragon summons that need an opponent monster
• Recovery: Recover through GY-based effects (Cyber Dragon Core banish, Cyberdark Claw GY-to-hand, Cyber Dragon Nachster and Cyber Jormungardr revival) and Future Fusion Nova / Cyberdark Realm for the next starter
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be scored; the deck has zero side slots to adapt

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Cyber Dragon / Cyberdark fusion-and-link system, not as an average of its 65 card scores. Its engine is 12 Cyber Dragon-family monsters (Cyber Dragon x3, Luminous x3, Nachster x2, Core x2, Jormungardr x2) that give about a 76% chance of at least one live starter in a 5-card going-first hand and about 82% in a 6-card going-second hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), so the deck usually gets a playable T1. Seven hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Infinite Impermanence x3, Maxx "C") and 15 negation-text cards give it a real answer to a first starter. Its ceiling is high: Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK), Cyberdark End Dragon (5000 ATK), Cyber Twin Dragon (two attacks) and Cyber Eternity Dragon are reachable from the Extra Deck, which earns the closing and ceiling dimensions. The deck does not earn points for the Polymerization label: only 1 of 25 usage-stat core cards is present and the exact-name purity is 9.2%, so it is a non-standard Cyber Dragon build under that label. No combos, guides, tournament link or side deck were supplied, so floor, median and matchup scores are Provisional or Inferred and pull confidence to Medium.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Combo, secondary Midrange (disclosed; Midrange weights not blended numerically). Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 61, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: no_side_deck (-2); banlist_exposure (-1); unresolved_passcode (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*59.4 + 0.20*52 - 4 ≈ 54

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

• Redundant Cyber Dragon-family starters (12 monsters) with at least one live in about three of four opening hands
• Seven hand traps plus negation text give layered first-starter interaction
• Extra Deck high-ATK finishers (4000–5000 ATK) and a second-attack Fusion
• Multiple GY recovery routes (Cyber Dragon Core, Cyberdark Claw, Nachster)

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Archetype label mismatch: only 1 of 25 usage-stat core cards is present (4%) and exact-name purity is 9.2%
• Several single-copy conditional cards (Limiter Removal, Power Bond, Machine Duplication, Clockwork Night) add brick and pilot risk
• One passcode is unresolved; list verification is incomplete

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon summon condition: Cyber Dragon needs an opponent monster on the field, so an empty-board start relies on Luminous, Nachster or Core
• Super Duper Polymerization and Super Polymerization both use Fusion Extra Deck monsters; a single negated starter stops the Fusion route
• Limited (Maxx "C") and Semi-Limited (Super Polymerization) status restricts copy flexibility if the list is retuned

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal with warning: 51 Main / 14 Extra / 0 Side; sizes within BanMasterDuel size rules; Maxx "C" Limited at 1 copy and Super Polymerization Semi-Limited at 2 copies, both legal; Only 1 of 25 usage-stat core cards present (4%); Passcode 10443957 unresolved
• Inferred: P(≥1 of 12 Cyber Dragon-family starters in 5 cards) ≈ 0.76, going-second 6-card ≈ 0.82; Seven hand traps give layered first-starter interaction; Extra-Deck finishers (4000–5000 ATK) define the closing ceiling; Recursion via Core, Claw and Nachster offsets costs
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Floor and median output (no combos); Matchup and format fit (no 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 1 passcode(s) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as main) no side deck registered — post-side adaptability cannot be measured usage-stat core list (25 cards) is dominated by cards not in this deck; archetype-standard comparison is weak no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
