Millennium Deck #771034 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Exodia pieces assembled through Millennium Ankh and the Millennium-tagged Synchro/Fusion board, or Xyz/Synchro beatdown from Gustav Rocket, Liebe and Stardust-line boards; Forbidden One Exodia finish with Exodia the Forbidden One and its four limbs, supported by Obliterate!!! and Exxod
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Millennium-tagged monsters (Shield, Sengenjin, Golem, Heart of the Blue-Eyes) and search or place Millennium Ankh; follow with hand traps held up for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand traps to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Metamorphosis or Wedju Temple
• Recovery: Recurring searchers (Sengenjin, Shield, Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Exxod) and Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw to rebuild hand after a disrupted turn
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The score is the structural read of the list as a system, not an average of its cards. The Millennium-tagged core (Shield, Sengenjin, Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Millennium Ankh) reaches a live starter in roughly 91% of opening hands by the archetype-core proxy, which gives it reliable access to the first engine piece (Inferred). Interaction is dense (8 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards), so it can answer an opponent's first board, but the 20 singleton main-deck cards and the separate Exodia pieces produce a meaningful brick rate and a fragile, conflicting engine (only 12.5% exact-name archetype purity). The list is illegal under OCG rules: two Forbidden cards are run and the Extra Deck holds 21 cards against a 15-card cap, so the score is capped low and labelled theoretical/structural-only. No combo boards, tournament link or side deck exist, so median output and post-side play cannot be measured and popularity earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (primary strategy Toolbox; Balanced weights used because the strategy read is mixed). Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Extra Deck over limit (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*43 + 0.20*30 - 12 ≈ 28; Meta provisional; illegal-deck cap applied (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Millennium core reaches a live starter in most opening hands
• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage (8 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards)
• Multiple independent engine starters (Shield, Sengenjin, Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Mulcharmy)
• High-end closers in the Extra Deck (Gustav Rocket, Liebe, Stardust line)

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG: two Forbidden cards run
• Extra Deck exceeds the 15-card cap at 21
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low archetype purity (12.5%), so the engines conflict
• 20 singleton main-deck cards and Exodia pieces that need the full set increase brick risk

Critical choke points

• Any single Millennium starter (Shield, Sengenjin, Heart of the Blue-Eyes) that is hand-trapped or never drawn leaves the Exodia and Synchro plan without a route
• Millennium Ankh as the main engine piece, with no second Ankh path beyond the Deck search
• Forbidden-card and Extra Deck size violations must be fixed before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Status Illegal: two Forbidden cards run (copies 1 vs legal 0); Extra Deck size 21 exceeds the OCG cap of 15; Main Deck size 59 is within the 40–60 range; Side deck is 0 cards; Archetype purity 12.5% (10 exact-name copies of 80)
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.91 for the archetype core and ≈ 0.24 per 3-copy card in hand; Hand-trap density gives ≈ 0.60 at least one hand trap in going-second 6 cards; Brick and conflict risk from singleton Exodia pieces and the Millennium engine
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit (no tournament link or meta-share data); Tournament reliability (no win-rate telemetry)
• 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 for OCG; going-first/second and brick rates are Inferred only No side deck present, so post-side is unevaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no title (deck_name null)
