Centur-Ion Deck #698232 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 42/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summon high-level dragon boards (Lv 12 Synchros or Fusion payoffs) to apply pressure through multiple negation/removal layers; Grind advantage via Blue-Eyes recursion and Centur-Ion field-trap conversion mechanics
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Synchro starter (Sage/Maiden/Kaibaman), Synchro into Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon or mid-level board; layer protection via True Light and Centur-Ion trap placement
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt opponent's setup; board-break via removal stack (Burst Stream, Roar of Blue-Eyed Dragons); limited OTK capability without additional setup
• Recovery: Recursion through Blue-Eyes monster recovery (Wishes, Roar), GY access via Centur-Ion Trudea/Primera trap effects, Synchro Rumble revival for Lv7/8 Dragons
• After siding: Unknown; no side deck present in the list

Why it scores here

This deck mixes a diluted Centur-Ion shell (only 6 exact-archetype cards, 29% core presence) with a Blue-Eyes overlay running hand traps and removal tools. The core starters (Sage, Maiden, Kaibaman) open reasonably well ~34% T1, but the deck bricks on hands lacking both a Synchro starter and a Synchro target, exacerbated by triple Blue-Eyes White Dragon (vanilla payoff requiring setup). No combo data exists; boards are inferred to reach mid-tier Synchros (Spirit Dragon, Ancient Fairy) but lack consistency redundancy—one disruption often ends lines. The deck has genuine going-second removal (Burst Stream, Roar, hand traps) but cannot reliably convert to lethal. Extra Deck is well-constructed for Synchro access (8 slots) but several Fusions are conditional luxuries. The absence of a side deck and missing core staples (Maxx C, Centur-Ion Auxila, Crimson Dragon, Emblema Oath) place this squarely below competitive baseline.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: No side deck (-8); Diluted archetype core (-3); Missing key staples (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no side deck imposes −8 modifier)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.6 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.15 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Solid hand-trap density (Ash 3×, Infinite Impermanence 3×, Droll 2×) for disruption
• Well-constructed Extra Deck with efficient Synchro access (8 Dragon Synchros) and multiple end-board options
• Blue-Eyes recursion (Wishes, Roar, Kaibaman) provides grind value and follow-up capability
• Going-second removal suite (Burst Stream, Roar, Majesty, Synchro Rumble recovery) functional for board-breaking
• Infinite Impermanence and Called by the Grave offer going-second interaction flexibility

Weaknesses

• No side deck; cannot adapt to metagame post-game-1, critical in best-of-3 format
• Heavily diluted archetype core (only 6 Centur-Ion cards, 29% of meta core present); missing Maxx C, Auxila, Emblema Oath
• Single-line dependency: most lines thread through one Synchro Summon gate; interruption often ends turn
• Vanilla Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3 copies) conflicts with Synchro Tuner density and creates redundancy/brick risk
• No quantified board data; estimated median output (Lv 7–9 Synchros) lacks ceiling consistency to pressure competitively
• Limited offensive closing power; no piercing, direct damage, or ATK-pump synergy beyond base monster stats
• Centur-Ion field-trap mechanics underdeveloped (only Trudea 2×, Primera 1×, True Awakening 1×); core cards missing

Critical choke points

• Synchro Summon gate: one negation or disruption of Synchro Summon often terminates the T1 line
• Starter hand: absence of both a Synchro starter and a Synchro target (e.g., hand with only Blue-Eyes + removal) bricks hard
• Extra Deck monster dependency: several Fusions require multiple specific monsters (Dragon Master Magia needs 4+ materials); conditional payoffs
• Post-game-1 adaptation: zero side deck means no pivot against unfavorable matchups

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in Master Duel format (40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side); Copy limits respected: Called by the Grave ×1 (Limited), Crossout Designator ×1 (Limited), Droll & Lock Bird ×2 (Semi-Limited); Card text read from evidence.json for all 36 distinct main + extra cards; Archetype_purity: 6/55 Centur-Ion exact-name copies; 10.9% purity verified; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Synchro, 5 Fusion, 2 Link verified; Hand-trap group: 8 copies (Ash ×3, Infinite Impermanence ×3, Droll ×2) verified; Searcher/tutors: 9 cards with 'searcher' text hint verified (Sage, Wishes, Kaibaman, Centur-Ion Primera, etc.)
• Observed: Usage stats show Centur-Ion core cards: Trudea (100% incl, 2 copies in deck), Primera (100% incl, 1 copy in deck), Wake Up & Stand Up Centur-Ion (100% incl, 1 each in deck); Usage stats show Ash Blossom (100% incl, 3 in deck), Called by Grave (100% incl, 1 in deck), Infinite Impermanence (50% incl, 3 in deck) present
• Inferred: P(≥1 Synchro starter in T1 hand 5) ≈ 0.60 from hypergeometric; hand-trap P(≥1 in T2 hand 6) ≈ 0.76; Median board output estimated Lv 7–9 Synchro (Ancient Fairy, Spirit Dragon) with 1–2 interaction layers, based on Extra Deck access and card-text role analysis; Best-line ceiling estimated 72 PowerIndex (Stardust Sifr or Dragon Master Magia Lv 12 uninterrupted) inferred from boss monster stats and negation text; Brick rate estimated ~15% (hands with no Synchro starter + no Synchro target) from copy histogram and conflict analysis; Interruption resilience scored 35/100: single-line dependency, limited secondary route, recursion conditional on GY state; Going-second power scored 46/100: hand traps functional, removal present, but no inherent board-break engine (Auxila missing); OTK unlikely without additional setup; Pilotability estimated 35/100: 2–3 decision points per turn, Centur-Ion field-trap mechanics require familiarity, error tolerance low due to choke points
• Provisional: Meta Power is null (provisional) — no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share and per-pilot tournament record absent; Matchup fit is provisional without format context; Master Duel meta assumed to be combo-heavy (~30–40% share) but no hard data provided; Post-game-1 strategy is provisional: side deck is absent (0/15), so best-of-3 adaptation unknown
• Data gaps: No combo boards exist in combos_evidence; all combo floor/median/ceiling estimates are text-role inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share percentage unknown; per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first %, going-second %, brick rate, starter consistency frequency, OTK rate) No dated metagame sample provided; Meta Power cannot be computed (stays provisional/null) Post-side strategy completely unknown: side deck is 0/15; unable to infer post-game-1 adaptability No quantified going-second performance data; going-second power score is inferred from hand-trap + removal presence Guides present (2 Vietnamese guides) but no detailed board examples or step-by-step combo sequence; archetype-level strategy intent only
