Endymion Deck #769824 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Endymion Spell Counter engine: Spell-activation counters feed Pendulum and Link summons (Magister, Servant, Reflection, Cerberus) that reach 2800-ATK bodies and Link-3 finishers. Inferred from card text only; no recorded boards.; Link and XYZ bodies (Promethean Princess 2700 ATK, Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon 2800 ATK, Accesscode Talker 2300 ATK) entered through the Link Summon chain; Mythical Beast Pendulum recursion adds a second route.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Pot of Desires, Spell Power Mastery or Endymion Pendulum to start placing Spell Counters, then Pendulum or Link Summon into a 2800-ATK body. Starter access is thin: P(at least one Endymion in a 5-card hand) is about 0.25 (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Pot of Desires and the 20 searcher-text cards (P at least one searcher about 0.90). Interaction is limited to Ultimate Slayer, Cosmic Cyclone, Soul Release, Harpie's Feather Duster and Dark Ruler No More, with no hand traps.
• Recovery: Searchers and Spell Power Mastery/Attainment rebuild the Spell Counter engine from the Deck and GY. Recovery depends on Spell counts on the field and GY, so after a board break the rebuild is slow.
• After siding: None. The side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in this list.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: the starter density and Spell Counter engine (Endymion, Magister, Servant, Reflection, Cerberus) give it a real route to 2800-ATK bodies, and the 20 searcher-text cards keep the hand functional on average. The score is held back by a split engine: only 16 of 56 main-deck copies are exact Endymion names (22.5 percent purity), the list draws from Mythical Beast, Greed, Charmer, Magistus, Dracoslayer and Gravekeeper's, and only 1 of 15 usage-core cards for the archetype is present. Consistency is weakened by dead or conditional cards (Majesty Pegasus, Necrovalley, Mythical Institution, Terraforming, Set Rotation) and by a Going-Second plan with no hand traps and an empty side deck. The list is Illegal (Chicken Game over the copy limit, Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden), so the score is capped at 30 and treated as theoretical only. No combos, tournament result, or dated meta sample were supplied, so Meta Power is null and the consistency figures are Inferred. Popularity or archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 = 48.8; modifiers -10 gives 38.8; the Illegal cap sets the score to 30 (theoretical only).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 searcher and Spell Counter engine: 20 searcher-text cards and 3-copy starters (Endymion, Magister, Servant, Cerberus) make the hand functional on average.
• Layered removal and negation: 30 removal-text and 11 negation-text cards, with Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon as an Extra Deck negation.
• High-ATK closers: 2800-ATK Pendulum bodies and 2700 to 2800 ATK Links in the Extra Deck.

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Chicken Game exceeds its copy limit and Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden.
• Split engine: only 22.5 percent exact Endymion names and 1 of 15 usage-core cards present.
• No hand traps, no floodgates and an empty side deck, so Going-Second and post-side plans are weak.
• Several dead or conditional cards lower consistency (Necrovalley, Majesty Pegasus, Set Rotation, Secret Village, Mythical Institution).

Critical choke points

• Starting the Spell Counter engine depends on a 3-copy Endymion or Pot of Desires hand (about 0.25 probability in hand 5).
• The Spell Counter pool is empty after a board break, so recovery is slow.
• Going-Second boards have no hand-trap answer.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Chicken Game 3 copies vs OCG limit 1; Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (within size rules).; Archetype purity 22.5 percent (16 of 56 Main Deck copies carry exact Endymion names); 1 of 15 usage-core cards present (6.7 percent).; Hypergeometric probabilities listed in the evidence pack (P at least one Endymion in hand 5 = 0.2487).
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws and card text.; Interaction density from removal and negation text tags.; Going-Second weakness from zero hand traps and zero floodgates.
• Provisional: Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament link or dated meta sample).; Meta Power is 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Deck title is null; the evaluation uses the archetype name Endymion.
