Endymion Deck #57564 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 62 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 10 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards built from Endymion and Spellcaster engine monsters, with Endymion, the Mighty Master of Magic and Selene as the main closers; Toolbox-style bounce and removal (Raigeki, Dark Hole, Harpie's Feather Duster) to clear the board before attacking
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 search via Spell Power Mastery, Small World, Preparation of Rites or Servant of Endymion, then build toward an Extra Deck link or Xyz. Forbidden cards cannot be legally included, so this plan is theoretical only
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-based interaction (Raigeki, Dark Hole) and Endymion Pendulum or Spell Counter plays, followed by a Link Summon. No hand traps are present, so the plan depends on sorcery-speed removal
• Recovery: Searchers (32 searcher-text cards) and Pendulum recursion from Servant of Endymion and Magical Abductor should refill the hand, but the engine is spread across several sub-archetypes
• After siding: Not supported: the Side Deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in TCG: eight Forbidden cards are over the copy limit, the 62-card Main Deck exceeds the 60-card maximum, and the Side Deck is empty. Under the rubric it is capped and scored as a theoretical, structural-only evaluation. Its engine is accessible, since 32 searcher-text cards give a 97.8% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but the 14.3% exact-name Endymion purity and mixed sub-archetypes (Kashtira, Adventurer, Scareclaw, Spellbook, Broken World) weaken engine coherence. There are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are text-only estimates. Popularity and archetype stats were not counted as power, and the score was not built by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo 100% (Toolbox noted as secondary, not blended numerically). Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-9); Size violation (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Illegal cap applied (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 searcher text (32 cards) gives a high chance of finding an engine piece
• Extra Deck has high-ATK closers (Endymion Pendulum, Odd-Eyes Absolute, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS)
• Removal and board-wipe breadth (Raigeki, Dark Hole, Harpie's Feather Duster)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: eight Forbidden cards are over the copy limit
• Main Deck of 62 is outside the 40-60 range
• Exact-name Endymion purity is only 14.3%, so engine coherence is weak
• Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan
• No hand traps and no recorded boards to confirm the combo floor

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards (Kashtira Fenrir, Triple Tactics Talent, Magicians' Souls, Apollousa, Saryuja Skull Dread, Cross-Sheep, Jowgen, Secret Village) must be removed before the list is legal
• Endymion Spell Counter engine depends on Spell Power Mastery and Servant of Endymion as sequencing pieces

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: eight Forbidden cards over the copy limit; Main Deck of 62 outside the 40-60 range; Side Deck is empty; Extra Deck composition: 11 link, 3 xyz, 1 fusion; Exact-name Endymion purity 14.3%
• Inferred: Searcher-driven consistency (P>=1 searcher in 5 cards = 0.978); Interaction breadth from removal-text count (26); Going-first and going-second estimates; Dimension scores on engine access, brick risk and closing power
• Provisional: Meta and format-fit scores (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed
