Centur-Ion Deck #751672 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 29 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon a Centur-Ion boss (Legatia, Auxila, Primera Primus) or Red Supernova Dragon and attack through a board that Centur-Ion trap placement has already cleared or protected; Crimson Dragon and Shooting Quasar Dragon as alternate Extra Deck finishers when the Centur-Ion line stalls
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Stand Up Centur-Ion! or Wake Up Centur-Ion! to place a Centur-Ion monster as a Continuous Trap, search with Primera or Gargoyle II, then Synchro Summon into a Centur-Ion boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow, Chimerea/Emeth VI) to break the opponent's opening, then rebuild the Centur-Ion board from GY and Continuous Trap placements
• Recovery: Recur Centur-Ion monsters from GY through Bonds, Trudea, Atrii and Emblema Oath, then re-Synchro using Primera and Gargoyle II as tuners and non-tuners
• After siding: No side deck is registered (0 of up to 9 cards), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Centur-Ion plan in most hands: the 22-copy archetype core is dense, and Emblema Oath (3 copies) and the 2-copy Primera, Trudea and Atrii give about a 0.32 to 0.45 chance of a specific starter in the opening hand, with the archetype's trap-placement and search text providing redundant routes (Inferred). Conversion into pressure comes from nine Extra Deck Synchros and Continuous Trap recursion, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based estimates and are scored conservatively (Inferred). Interaction is a strength: four hand traps, Droll and Effect Veiler, negation text, and removal text give layered answers, which carries most of the going-second case (Inferred). The score is built from consistency, median output and interaction on the system as a whole, not from averaging card scores, and Centur-Ion's popularity and usage statistics earned no points on their own. The empty side deck and the lack of any dated meta sample hold the score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Combo as a secondary read for Synchro conversion; weights taken from the Midrange profile without blending. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Limited card exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57 + 0.20*52 - 2 = 54

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.45 · 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 archetype core (22 copies) with several starter routes
• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps, Effect Veiler, negation and removal text
• Extra Deck is fully Synchro with redundant boss options (Legatia x2, Primus x2, Auxila, Red Supernova)
• Recursion text regenerates Centur-Ion monsters from the GY

Weaknesses

• No side deck registered
• Five singleton tech slots dilute the starter density
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Mixed sub-archetype purity (60.5% exact name)

Critical choke points

• Single Emblema Oath dependence for the 3-copy starter, with only about a 0.45 chance in the opening 5
• Synchro boss access depends on at least one live tuner from the 2-copy Primera or Gargoyle II

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status and 29/9/0 counts within size rules; Crimson Dragon Limited, 1 copy legal; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown; Archetype spread and exact-name purity 60.5%; Usage stat: Emblema Oath inclusion 100%
• Inferred: P(starter) and hand-trap probabilities; Interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Recursion and resilience reads from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Side plan (D12)
• 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/starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered (0 cards) Data inconsistency: usage_statistics.core_cards marks Centur-Ion Auxila, Centur-Ion Primera Primus, Red Supernova Dragon, Crimson Dragon and Centur-Ion Legatia as in_this_deck=false and lists them as missing core, but the cards array lists them as zone=extra with copies run. core_present_pct=64 is likely understated; the preprocessor's in_this_deck check probably reads Main Deck only Title is null for this deck
