Odion Deck #761635 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Titaniklad the Ash Dragon, Albion the Branded Dragon, Alba-Lenatus, Stardust Dragon, The Three Champions of Swordsoul, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon) reached through Fallen of Albaz and Ecclesia-based Fusion, Synchro and Link lines; Interaction-led board control: hand traps and Solemn negations that stop the opponent's summons and activations until a boss lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fallen of the White Dragon or Primite Lordly Lode / Ether Beryl starter, use Maxx C or a hand trap to keep the turn, then summon a boss from the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a hand trap or Dominus Purge / Dominus Impulse on the opponent's first summon, then build a board through a second starter and convert with a Link or Fusion boss
• Recovery: Recover with searchers (The Man with the Mark, Primite Dragon Ether Beryl, Incredible Ecclesia) and GY-based revival, since most interaction is Trap-based and returns to the GY as fuel for Dominus and Apophis effects
• After siding: Master Duel has no side deck for this format (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; adaptation is limited to in-match choices

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a Midrange system built on interaction, not on a single combo line. Its opening-hand access is solid: the archetype-core proxy gives P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.997, and 13 searcher-text cards make the hand usually find a starter. Interaction density is high (about 20 negation-text cards, 16 removal-text cards, 7 hand traps, several Solemns), which drives the endboard and resilience scores. Offensive closing is moderate: several 2500 to 3000 ATK bosses are present, but the Fallen-to-boss conversion depends on Extra Deck material that is not fully proven by any recorded board. The score is not raised by Odion's popularity, and no card scores were averaged; the 54 comes from the structural blend (Midrange profile) plus a −4 modifier for engine conflicts across many sub-archetypes.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile (primary) with Toolbox as a secondary read, no separate blend ratio applied. Structural ≈ 58.3, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-3); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*58.3 + 0.20*55 = 57.6, then -4 modifiers = 54

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · 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, layered interaction: negations, removal and 7 hand traps
• Multiple independent starters (Fallen of the White Dragon, Apophis the Serpent, Primite Lordly Lode, Ether Beryl) reduce single-choke-point risk
• Searcher density (13 searcher-text cards) supports a consistent opening hand

Weaknesses

• Engine spread across about 11 sub-archetypes lowers coherence
• No Super Starslayer TY-PHON despite its high usage, leaving the Xyz route thin
• Limited/Semi-Limited restrictions on key interaction raise banlist fragility

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz as the Extra Deck material gateway for Fusion and Synchro bosses
• Limited Solemn cards at 1 copy each: one Solemn lost to a single removal leaves a gap in interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, side 0 are within Master Duel size rules; All restricted cards are at or below their legal copy counts (Solemn cards at 1 copy, Fallen and Treasures at 2); Archetype usage: Solemn Strike, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Warning are in 79% of archetype decks
• Observed: Core archetype cards present: 18 of 25 (72%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access ≈ 0.997 for the core proxy; Midrange classification from interaction density and absence of a combo-specific line; Engine-conflict modifier across sub-archetypes
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament or match data); Side-deck score (Master Duel has no side)
• 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 unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no guides attached for the archetype
