Zombies Deck #81476 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Large Synchro, Link, Fusion or Xyz boss (Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord, Psychic End Punisher, Skeletal Dragon Felgrand, Vampire Fascinator) built off the Zombie tuner base; Zombie World recursion through Necroworld Banshee, Mezuki and Gozuki, plus Chaos Ruler if it were legal
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Zombie tuner (Uni-Zombie, Mad Mauler, Shinobi Necro, Assault Synchron) or Zombie World, use Glow-Up Bloom or Gozuki for a Level 5+ Zombie, then Synchro or Link into a boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched or Maxx C, stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through GY recursion
• Recovery: Mezuki and Necroworld Banshee revive from the GY, and Zombie World resets the field for the Zombie tuner chain
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system under the Toolbox profile, not averaged from card scores. Its Zombie tuner base and Extra Deck bosses can open a plan, but a 3-copy Zombie World is only about 23% to appear in a 5-card opening hand and the core archetype group is only about 57% to show up, so consistency is weak. Eleven hand traps and about 25 removal-text cards give it real interaction density and resilience, which keeps the interaction and closing dimensions moderate. There are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are text-only inference and carry low confidence. The deck is illegal: three Forbidden cards and four copy-limit overages cap it at a structural-only read, and it has no side deck, so it has no post-side plan. Popularity did not earn points; 20% of the archetype's core cards are present, which marks it as a loose toolbox build rather than a standard list.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Stun secondary (Stun not applied as weights). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 34; Meta provisional. Structural-only read, not a normal Final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.43 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 11 hand traps and about 25 removal or negation texts give layered interaction
• Zombie recursion (Banshee, Mezuki, Gozuki, Glow-Up Bloom) supports a second line after disruption
• Several 2800 to 3500 Extra Deck bosses give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden cards and copy-limit overages
• Low starter density; 3-copy Zombie World is about 23% in a 5-card hand
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Only about 20% of archetype core cards are present; the build is a loose toolbox list

Critical choke points

• Zombie World and the Glow-Up Bloom or Gozuki Level 5+ Zombie route
• Single-copy tuners needed to reach Synchro bosses

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side; six copy-limit violations including three Forbidden cards; Card text for 37 distinct main-deck cards and 15 Extra Deck cards; Usage: 5 of 25 core archetype cards present (20%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric consistency: Zombie World about 23% per 5-card hand; full-brick proxy about 43%; Interaction quality from 11 hand traps and removal text; Going-first and going-second plans from text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• 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 No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
