Centur-Ion Deck #718672 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 71/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Extra Deck monsters (e.g., Cosmic Blazar Dragon, Titaniklad the Ash Dragon) via the Centur‑Ion Continuous‑Trap engine; Fusion monsters from Bystial/Branded sub‑archetypes
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Emblema Oath or Stand Up Centur‑Ion! to place a Centur‑Ion monster as a Continuous Trap, then use searchers (Centur‑Ion Primera, Wake Up Centur‑Ion!) to fetch key Tuners and Synchro material, culminating in a level‑12 Synchro.
• Turn 2 (going second): Utilize hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C") to disrupt opponent draws, then set additional Continuous Traps and Synchro‑summon on opponent’s turn.
• Recovery: Draw engines (Maxx "C", Branded Regained) and recursion (Bystial Lubellion, Bystial Magnamhut) replenish resources after disruption.
• After siding: No side deck; rely on Extra Deck flexibility and on‑the‑fly card choice.

Why it scores here

The Centur‑Ion deck reliably opens its engine, with a 97.9% chance of drawing at least one core starter in the opening hand, allowing a quick Continuous‑Trap setup. Its abundant searchers and draw engines give it strong resource recovery and the ability to adapt after disruption. While the ceiling includes powerful level‑12 Synchro and Fusion monsters, the median output is modest due to the lack of consistent combo lines. Hand‑trap density and multiple extra‑deck options provide decent resilience, but the absence of a side deck and a relatively high card count reduce overall efficiency and pilotability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 71.9, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 68. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high opening‑hand consistency for core engine
• Strong draw and recursion tools
• Multiple high‑ATK end‑board monsters
• Robust hand‑trap suite for disruption

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity; many off‑archetype cards increase variance
• No side deck limits post‑side adaptability
• Complex multi‑step engine raises error tolerance
• Missing several core Centur‑Ion cards (Primera Primus, Auxila, etc.)

Critical choke points

• Reliance on Emblema Oath / Stand Up Centur‑Ion to place Continuous Traps
• Need to draw specific Tuners for level‑12 Synchro
• Limited side‑deck options for specific match‑ups

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status; card copy limits; hand‑trap tags from card data; archetype purity numbers
• Inferred: engine accessibility probability; brick estimate; combo ceiling from card text; median output inference; interruption resilience from hand‑trap count; resource economy from draw engines; interaction quality from negation cards; going‑second power from hand‑trap group probability; offensive pressure from high‑ATK monsters; main‑deck efficiency from size and purity; extra‑deck coverage from breakdown; pilotability from engine complexity
• Provisional: matchup coverage due to missing tournament data
• 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 no win‑rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going‑first/second, matchup, game‑level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
