Odion Deck #759308 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss (Psychic End Punisher, Varudras, AA-ZEUS, TY-PHON) after the negation shell has stripped the opponent's answers and threats; Temple of the Kings / Apophis monster-trap beats via Anubis the Last Judge and The Man with the Mark
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Trap-based negation and search Temple/Apophis starters; present one monster-capable body and hold hand-trap coverage for the opponent's first summons
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 6-card hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) and Solemn-style negation against the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert with Temple/Apophis bodies
• Recovery: Searchers (12 searcher-text cards) and GY recursion (Anubis, Glow-Up Bulb, Apophis) rebuild the monster presence and the trap count
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel has no sideboard (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens negation: 6 hand traps and 22 negation-text cards give layered answers on both turns, and the Solemn trio runs at legal max. Its engine access is the weak point. Only 11 main-deck cards can become a monster, about 78% of opening 5-card hands contain one of the 10 Temple/Apophis bodies (Inferred), and Anubis needs three distinct Temple/Trap names in the graveyard. Twelve searchers lift the consistency of getting a starter, and the Extra Deck supplies high-end bosses (3000 to 3500 ATK), but those need materials the list rarely produces. No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and carry low weight. Popularity and the usage statistics were not credited, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from interaction density, resilience and redundancy on the system, held down by monster scarcity and the internal inconsistency in the usage data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 72, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Solemn trio Limited) (-2); Engine conflict / monster scarcity (-3); Engine compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*61 + 0.20*58 - 3 = 57.4, rounded to 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• 22 negation-text cards and 6 hand traps (Infinite Impermanence x3, Evenly Matched x3) give layered answers on both turns (Verified card text)
• 12 searcher-text cards give P(>=1 in opening 5) 0.85 (Verified from evidence)
• Solemn trio is at legal max (1 copy each) and no banlist violation exists (Verified)
• Extra Deck carries high-end bosses: Psychic End Punisher 3500 ATK, Varudras 3000 ATK, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS 3000 ATK (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Only 11 monster-capable main cards (Anubis x3, The Man with the Mark x3, Glow-Up Bulb x1, Apophis the Swamp Deity x2, Apophis the Serpent x2) against 28 Traps (Verified count, Inferred impact)
• Anubis the Last Judge needs 3 GY cards with different names that are Temple of the Kings and/or Traps before it can be Special Summoned (Verified card text)
• Archetype label 'Odion' has zero exact-name Odion copies; the list is a Temple of the Kings / Apophis / Dominus / Solemn shell, so archetype-stat comparisons are weak (Verified)
• Usage statistics mark Link Spider and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as not in the deck, but the card list includes both in the Extra Deck; the evidence is internally inconsistent (Verified)
• No combo boards: combo dimensions D3 and D4 are text-only inference (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• A monster-capable starter in the opening hand: ~0.78 for 5 cards (Inferred)
• Extra Deck link and Xyz bosses need main-deck monster materials; with 11 monster-capable cards they may stay dead (Inferred)
• The Solemn trio are singletons with Limited status and are the highest-cost answer set; losing them removes the most expensive negation (Verified count, Inferred impact)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side, no violations; Solemn trio at legal max; Treasures of the Kings at 2 of 2 Semi-Limited; Card text and stats from the cards array, including the 22 negation and 22 removal text roles and 6 hand traps; Archetype purity: zero exact-name Odion copies; the Extra Deck breakdown 2 Fusion, 6 Link, 2 Synchro, 5 Xyz; Provided probabilities: Anubis P(>=1 in 5) 0.34, searcher group 0.85, hand-trap group 0.65 going second
• Inferred: Computed P(>=1 of 10 Temple/Apophis monster-capable cards in 5) ~0.78 and in 6 ~0.85 (hypergeometric from the main deck); Engine accessibility, brick risk and interaction quality are scored from text and composition, not from boards; Going-first and going-second splits are estimated from interaction timing and hand-trap coverage
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup fit (D13) and post-side adaptation (D12) are provisional; Master Duel has no sideboard
• 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 usage statistics conflict with the card list: Link Spider and Super Starslayer TY-PHON are flagged not in the deck but appear in the Extra Deck archetype label 'Odion' has zero exact-name copies; archetype-stat comparisons are weak no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates); those signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
