Exodia Deck #767921 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 27/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, FTK/Alternate-Win
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 22 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Assemble all five Forbidden One / Exodia pieces (Exodia the Forbidden One plus four limbs) in hand, or Summon The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate and win through its attack and negation effects; Board pressure through Extra Deck Synchro, Xyz and Fusion monsters such as Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max, Stardust Dragon and Blackwing Full Armor Master
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 searches and hand-trap-backed setup through Millennium monsters and Millennium Ankh, aiming for a Forbidden One piece line; on the Exodia route, each limb is a single copy so the plan depends on drawing specific cards
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to interrupt the opponent, then pivot to an Extra Deck board
• Recovery: Searchers (Shield of the Millennium Dynasty, Sengenjin, Golem that Guards the Millennium Treasures, Heart of the Blue-Eyes) and Obliterate!!! / Exxod-style recursion to rebuild a Forbidden One line from the Graveyard
• After siding: Not assessable: no side deck is present (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. Its Exodia core (23 copies, about 93% chance of at least one archetype card in a 5-card opening, Inferred) makes it reliably playable, but the five-piece win needs specific singleton pieces, so the Exodia route itself opens rarely. Hand traps (8 copies, about 61% chance of at least one in a going-second 6-card hand, Inferred) and Millennium searchers add interaction and recovery, but no recorded boards exist, so conversion and median output are text-only inference. Popularity is not credited: the Exodia usage stats confirm the archetype is real and accessible, not that this list is strong. The list is Illegal in OCG (three Forbidden cards and a 22-card Extra Deck against a 15-card limit), so the score is capped and labelled theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); unrecoverable choke point (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal cap and modifiers; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 is present in about 93% of openings (Inferred)
• Eight hand traps and twelve negation-text cards give layered interaction (Inferred)
• Millennium searchers and Graveyard recursion support rebuilding (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden cards and a 22-card Extra Deck make the list illegal in OCG (Verified)
• The five-piece Exodia win relies on singleton limbs, so the full win is unreliable (Inferred)
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation (Verified)

Critical choke points

• All four Forbidden One limbs plus Exodia the Forbidden One in hand for the Exodia win
• Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate needed for the Extra Deck route; Forbidden copies must be removed before the deck is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards in the Main and Extra Deck; Extra Deck size of 22 versus the OCG maximum of 15; No side deck present; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within the legal limit
• Inferred: About 93% chance of at least one archetype core card in a 5-card opening; About 61% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand; Exodia five-piece win is unreliable because the limbs are singletons; Interaction density from hand traps and negation text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated metagame); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists; going-first and going-second splits are unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed
