Odion Deck #764863 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board conversion through 2500-3000 ATK beaters (Kashtira Unicorn, Anubis the Last Judge, Queen of the Blazing Domain, Underworld Goddess) after the opponent's plays are negated; Temple of the Kings / Apophis trap-fusion line (Divine Serpent Apophis, Apophis the Serpent) as a recurring Trap-based engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Set traps and search through The Man with the Mark or Treasures of the Kings, holding Infinite Impermanence or Solemn Accusation for the opponent's first play; the Dominus traps need an opponent card before they can activate from hand
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Accusation, Dominus Impulse/Purge) against the opponent's summon, then rebuild through Kashtira and Mulcharmy draws
• Recovery: Apophis trap recursion from the GY (Apophis the Serpent sent to GY adds an Embodiment) and the Man with the Mark / Anubis searches restock the hand; Mulcharmy draw effects require an empty field
• After siding: No side deck in the Master Duel export (side 0); no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck's structural score comes from the system: a dense interaction layer of roughly 18 negation-text cards (hand traps, Apophis traps, Dominus traps, Solemn Accusation, Verdict of Anubis, plus the floodgates Skill Drain and Gozen Match) and about 16 searcher-text cards that give a 93.5% chance of at least one searcher in a going-first five-card hand (Inferred hypergeometric proxy). Resource recovery through Apophis GY recursion, Mulcharmy draws and multiple searchers lifts the grind dimensions. Closing power is real but conditional: the 2500-3000 ATK beaters and the Link/Xyz board come online only after the interaction layer has done its job. The score is held back by reactive dead-hand risk (21 traps, several conditional on an opponent card or an empty field), three engine sub-lines (Temple/Apophis, Kashtira, Mulcharmy) that conflict on board state, and the absence of recorded boards, meta share or side-deck data. Popularity did not earn points: the usage statistics only confirm the list is real and that the archetype label is loose (0 exact-name copies). Card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 80% Control / 20% Toolbox (dimension weights blended per dimension). Structural ≈ 61.2, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-3); Conditional trap burden (-2); Interaction density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*61.2 + 0.20*56 - 3 = 57.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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 negation and removal layer (about 18 negation-text cards each) with multiple hand-trap options
• Strong searcher density (16 searcher-text cards; 93.5% at least one in a going-first hand, Inferred)
• Broad recovery through Apophis GY recursion and Mulcharmy draws
• Legal list with all Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts within limits

Weaknesses

• 21 traps and 3 Spells make the list reactive, with conditional dead cards on going first
• Three sub-engines (Temple/Apophis, Kashtira, Mulcharmy) rely on conflicting board states
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling rest on text reads
• Loose archetype label (Odion) with no exact-name cards; coherence rests on related sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Dominus Impulse and Purge need an opponent card on the field before they can activate from hand
• Mulcharmy draw effects need an empty field, which conflicts with Kashtira and board-building plays
• Limited floodgates (Skill Drain, Gozen Match) are single copies, so a loss of either costs a floodgate line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, copy counts and size rules (40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side) from legality; Card text and stats for all 40 Main and 15 Extra cards from the card list; Banlist statuses: Maxx C, Skill Drain, Gozen Match Limited; Kashtira Unicorn and Treasures of the Kings Semi-Limited, each at 2 copies
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics: the deck runs 12 of 25 core cards (48%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric draw odds (0.338 per 3-copy card, 0.935 searcher proxy); Interaction density and engine-conflict reads from card text; Structural and going-first/second scores from dimension estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit scores (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck in Master Duel)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Data mismatch: usage_statistics marks Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis (93039339) as not in this deck, but the card list runs 1 copy in the Extra Deck; scored from the card list Side count 0; no side deck to assess post-side adaptability
