Odion Deck #765089 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · 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: Fusion, Synchro and Link boss monsters (Divine Serpent Apophis, Baronne de Fleur, Link Spider chain) supported by a layered trap and negation shell; Anubis the Last Judge and The Man with the Mark conversion through Temple of the Kings in the GY and field
• Turn 1 (going first): Set multiple traps and hold Solemn or hand-trap interaction while searching via The Man with the Mark, Lordly Lode or Ether Beryl; build a single Link or Synchro boss behind interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C) and Solemns to stop the opponent's first summon, then convert with Apophis or Temple-based monsters
• Recovery: Recur Apophis Traps and Temple of the Kings from the GY, use Dominus and Solemn traps as repeatable negations, and rebuild through searchers
• After siding: Not applicable: Master Duel is played without a side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its engines (Temple of the Kings, Apophis, Dominus, Primite) share a trap-heavy shell, and the score reflects how reliably that shell opens, survives disruption and converts into a Link, Synchro or Fusion boss. Its interaction layer is the strongest part of the build, with 23 negation-text and 17 removal-text cards, five hand traps and layered Solemn and Dominus traps that answer most summons and activations. Starter access is moderate rather than high: The Man with the Mark, Lordly Lode and Ether Beryl are each limited to two to three copies, and P(at least one of the three copies of The Man with the Mark in an opening five) is about 0.34, so the engine depends on searchers (about 0.90 for at least one searcher-text card in hand) rather than a single guaranteed starter. Combo output is unmeasured here because no recorded boards were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences and are scored conservatively. Popularity of the archetype label and the 100% core inclusion of its staples did not earn points on their own, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control primary; Stun and Toolbox considered for context only, not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-3); Limited-status key cards (-2); Unrecoverable choke point (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers (-5): 0.80*60.61 + 0.20*54 - 5 = 54.3

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 (23 negation-text, 17 removal-text cards) with multiple hand traps
• Searcher density (14 text hits) makes the engine findable on most openings
• Strong boss ATKs in the Extra Deck (2800-3000) across Fusion, Synchro and Link lines
• Traps recur from the GY through Apophis and Temple effects, supporting resilience

Weaknesses

• Engine is split across Temple of the Kings, Apophis, Dominus and Primite with no exact archetype core
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median output are unmeasured
• Dominus Impulse and Purge are dead cards when the opponent controls nothing
• Solemn costs (LP) and reliance on single-copy Limited cards raise cost and variance

Critical choke points

• The Man with the Mark x3 and Temple of the Kings for the main engine
• Anubis the Last Judge requires 3 GY Temple or Trap names to summon
• Going-first openings without an opposing card to answer with Dominus Impulse or Purge

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 meet Master Duel size rules; All Limited and Semi-Limited cards are at or below their legal copy count; Copy histogram 11 singles, 10 doubles, 3 triples; Extra Deck breakdown 4 Synchro, 3 Fusion, 7 Link, 1 Xyz
• Inferred: Starter and searcher accessibility from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from card text flags; Hand-trap coverage on going-second; Resilience from recursion text in Apophis and Temple cards
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no metagame sample); Side-deck adaptability (no side deck in format)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Usage statistics mark Super Starslayer TY-PHON and S:P Little Knight as not in deck, yet both appear in the Extra Deck card list; the core-present percentage (92%) may be unreliable Server archetype label 'Odion' does not match any card in the list; the deck is built around Temple of the Kings, Apophis, Dominus and Primite
