Exodia Deck #768054 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Assemble the five Exodia pieces (Exodia the Forbidden One plus four Forbidden One limbs, all Limited to one copy) for an immediate win, or reach The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate through Millennium Ankh and Obliterate!!! Blaze; Fusion/Link/Synchro beatdown from the Extra Deck (Psychic End Punisher, Black Luster Soldier, Garura) once the Exodia line is disrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Sengenjin or Shield through Millennium Ankh and Wedju Temple lines; hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Solemn Strike to protect the engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Strike, Droll-style interruptions via Mulcharmy) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Heart of the Blue-Eyes and Golem that Guards
• Recovery: Recycle Shield of the Millennium Dynasty and Sengenjin from hand and GY via Wedju Temple and Heart of the Blue-Eyes; Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand after the board is cleared
• After siding: No Side Deck is present, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its engine (Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Millennium Ankh, Sengenjin, Shield, Wedju Temple) is reasonably accessible, with about 74% odds of at least one searcher in an opening five-card hand (Inferred). Its ceiling depends on a five-piece Exodia assembly built from single-copy Limited pieces, which is rarely reached, so the Exodia finisher lowers the median rather than raising it. Interaction is the strongest part (six hand traps plus Solemn Strike and Ash Blossom, Inferred), but the deck runs three copies of two Semi-Limited cards, so it is illegal in OCG and capped low. No combo boards, tournament record, or Side Deck were supplied, so meta and post-side terms are Provisional, and popularity or card-score averages earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (0); Unrecoverable choke point (-5); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: computed 0.80*Structural(43.7) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(25) - 8 modifiers = 32, capped to 25 per the Illegal rule (theoretical/structural-only); Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Layered interaction: six hand traps plus Solemn Strike, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Searcher density (13 searcher-text cards) gives strong starter access
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link and Synchro options for flexibility

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• No Side Deck, so best-of-3 is unplayable as built
• Exodia win needs five single-copy pieces that rarely appear together

Critical choke points

• Assembling Exodia requires all five limb or Exodia pieces in one hand or after recovery
• Millennium Ankh and Heart of the Blue-Eyes are the only engine bridges

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal copy-limit violations: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization at 3 copies vs 2 legal; Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0; Extra breakdown 9 Fusion, 5 Link, 1 Synchro; Five Limited single-copy Exodia pieces and their banlist status
• Inferred: Searcher access ~0.74 and Exodia piece ~0.09 odds (hypergeometric); Engine bootstrap via Ankh and Heart of the Blue-Eyes; Interaction density from card text; Going-second hand-trap coverage
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta or tournament data); Post-side performance (no Side Deck)
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No Side Deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
