Endymion Deck #759857 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boards led by Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame and Endymion, the Crescent Magistus, converted through searcher-driven Extra Deck access.; Hand-trap and negation-supported board control that lets the Fusion or Link monsters attack through an opponent's interaction.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening searchers (Witchcrafter Creation, Walpurgis, Marka, Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia for draw) to find a Spellcaster starter, then a Fusion or Link Summon. Forbidden cards are removed from the plan.
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Solemn cards answer the opponent's first play, then the Witchcrafter searcher chain rebuilds the board.
• Recovery: Witchcrafter GY-recursion effects (Holiday, Edel, Terracottan, Potterie) return monsters or Spells, with Mulcharmy draw as a reset.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searcher density (20 searcher-text cards, about 0.91 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and the archetype core give it a reasonable chance to find a Witchcrafter starter. Its ceiling comes from Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona and Witchcrafter Vice-Madame, and its interaction (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll, Solemn cards) gives it real end-board and going-second resilience. The floor is unmeasured because the deck has no recorded combos, so the median score is a text-only inference. The deck has no Side Deck and six Forbidden cards, so it is illegal in OCG; it is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points: the Endymion usage statistics show only 5 of 13 core cards present.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile used; Toolbox secondary only as a disclosed label, not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 58.8; banlist exposure modifier -12 gives 46.8; Illegal list capped to 30 as a theoretical, structural-only score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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 searcher coverage (20 searcher-text cards) gives high access to a starter.
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll, and multiple Solemns.
• High-ATK Fusion finishers (Rilliona 3800, Vice-Madame 2700).

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: six Forbidden cards, including one Fusion and two Link Extra Deck cards.
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan.
• No recorded combo boards, so floor and median are unmeasured.

Critical choke points

• Witchcrafter engine depends on Spell-discard costs, so a hand without Spells stalls the line.
• Forbidden cards cannot be played in OCG; a legal rebuild changes the Extra Deck materially.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: six Forbidden cards over the copy limit (legality block).; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0 is within 0-15.; Searcher-text count (20) and hypergeometric draw odds from the evidence pack.; Endymion usage statistics: 5 of 13 core cards present (38.5%).
• Inferred: Consistency (D1 70, D2 62) from the draw estimates and searcher density.; Interaction density (D7 70) from card text.; Going-second hand-trap estimate (D8 66).
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample.; Matchup and format fit (D13 40): no tournament link.
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate. Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample. Title is null in the deck record.
