Endymion Deck #765809 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Spell-counter Pendulum engine (Endymion, Servant of Endymion, Spell Power Mastery) that removes or negates opposing cards and converts the field into large Pendulum and Link boards; Link and Fusion Extra Deck threats (Selene, Accesscode Talker, Azamina Ilia Silvia line is absent; Diabellstar and Endymion provide the Main Deck beaters)
• Turn 1 (going first): Spell Power Mastery or Servant of Endymion from the opening hand, search an Endymion card with the searcher text, set Spell counters through the Pendulum Zone, and build toward Endymion or Reflection of Endymion
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird and Chicken Game to slow the opponent, then rebuild through Mythical Beast and Spellbook searchers; the Endymion engine still needs a Pendulum Zone setup to matter
• Recovery: Searchers (15 copies of searcher-text cards) and Spell counter recursion from Spell Power Mastery rebuild the engine after a single disruption; Upstart Goblin and Spellbook of Secrets add draws
• After siding: No side deck is registered in the evidence, so no post-side plan is available

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: the 16 archetype-core copies give about 94% odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and 15 searcher-text cards provide redundant access to the engine. Its conversion comes from Endymion's removal and negation text plus a 15-card Extra Deck with both Link and Fusion routes, so the score reflects the system rather than individual card quality. Median output and combo ceiling are not measured because no combo boards are recorded, so those dimensions are Inferred from card text alone. Interaction is thin for a Master Duel list (one hand trap, Droll & Lock Bird, Chicken Game), and the empty Side Deck and the Limited status of Instant Fusion and WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils cost points. Popularity and guide coverage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo weights not blended (structural weights taken from Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 49. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Limited-card exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 56.15, TR 49, pre-modifier 54.7, modifiers -5, final 50

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core density: 16 copies give about 94% odds of at least one in an opening hand
• Searcher redundancy: 15 searcher-text cards support recovery after disruption
• Extra Deck flexibility: 10 Link and 5 Fusion monsters across several summon routes
• Endymion removal and negation text provides interaction on the board

Weaknesses

• Only one hand trap and no Floodgate, so going-second disruption is thin
• Empty Side Deck removes post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name purity (20%) suggests a mixed sub-archetype engine that may fragment
• Single-copy distinct cards make the list less redundant against hand-trap or Ash-style disruption

Critical choke points

• Spell Power Mastery and Servant of Endymion (3 copies each) give only about 34% odds of appearing in a 5-card opening hand
• Endymion itself (2 copies) is the main threat; losing it leaves Pendulum counters without a payoff

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status with 40 Main and 15 Extra cards; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts; Card text for all 40 Main and 15 Extra cards; Archetype usage stats: 12 of 25 core cards present (48%)
• Inferred: Consistency probabilities from hypergeometric estimates; Brick, interaction, and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament context)
• 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, going-second, matchup, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No Side Deck in the export, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
