Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 43/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, FTK/Alternate-Win
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Five Exodia pieces in hand (Exodia the Forbidden One plus the four Limbs, each 1 copy), or Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate summoned by Millennium Ankh once the five Forbidden One monsters are shown from hand, Deck or field.; Fusion beatdown through Super Polymerization (2 copies) into Predaplant Triphyoverutum, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Heart-supported boards and similar Extra Deck threats.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 search or place a Millennium engine card (Heart of the Blue-Eyes to add Millennium Ankh, or a Millennium continuous-spell searcher), then Ankh into Incarnate or a Limb-based Exodia attempt if the pieces are present.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Droll and Lock Bird (8 hand traps including Nibiru) to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Millennium Ankh and Heart of the Blue-Eyes from the Graveyard.
• Recovery: Heart of the Blue-Eyes in the Graveyard supports Ankh activation, and Exxod Fires of Rage can return a Forbidden One monster from the Deck when it is in the Graveyard, per its excerpt. Floodgate traps (Macro Cosmos, Dimensional Fissure) also punish opposing Graveyard plays.
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 adaptability is absent.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Millennium engine only some of the time: Millennium Ankh and Heart of the Blue-Eyes each have a 0.3376 chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the pair together is about 0.198 (Inferred). The Exodia win is a one-copy-per-piece route, so the five pieces must all be in the Deck, hand or field, which makes the ceiling high (Incarnate summon, or a full Exodia hand) but the floor fragile. Interaction is the system's strongest layer: eight hand traps (Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird), Macro Cosmos and Dimensional Fissure floodgates, and Incarnate's negation give it durable responses. Fusion access is thin, with only two Super Polymerization for fifteen Extra Deck Fusion Monsters, and the deck has no side deck. Popularity was not credited (archetype usage stats only confirm the core is real), and no card scores were averaged into this deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 36. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); unrecoverable_choke_point (-3); engine_conflicts (-1); engine_compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*50 + 0.20*36 = 47.2, then context modifiers -4 = 43

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.2 · 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

• Direct Exodia win from five one-copy pieces and a direct Incarnate summon via Millennium Ankh (Verified card text)
• Eight hand traps and two floodgates give layered interaction (Verified flags)
• Three-copy searcher core (Heart, Ankh, Sengenjin, Golem, Shield) gives repeatable engine access (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Exodia 5-piece route is almost never opened from hand (about 0.0000015 in opening 5) (Inferred)
• Fusion access is thin: only two Super Polymerization for fifteen Fusion Monsters (Verified count)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation (Verified legality)
• Off-archetype main slots (Lava Golem, Pot of Extravagance, Macro Cosmos) dilute the engine (Verified composition, Inferred impact)

Critical choke points

• Millennium Ankh with all five Forbidden One monsters available in Deck, hand or field
• Heart of the Blue-Eyes as the only confirmed route to Ankh from hand

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within Master Duel limits; All Limited cards at 1 copy and Semi-Limited Droll and Super Polymerization at 2 copies; Card text for Millennium Ankh, Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Exxod, Incarnate and the hand traps; Usage stats show all five Forbidden One pieces are core (100% inclusion)
• Inferred: Opening-hand engine probabilities (0.3376, 0.198) and the Exodia 5-piece hand estimate; Interaction quality and going-second board-breaking ratings; Fusion access and off-plan slot assessment; Pilotability from step count
• Provisional: Meta power (null; no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference (combos_evidence.total_combos = 0) no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed guide snippet describes a different build (Blue Dragon Summoner, Timestar Magician) that is not in this decklist deck title is null
