Odd-Eyes Deck #771768 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum and Link/Xyz beatdown from Odd-Eyes and Supreme King boss monsters (Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon) once a Pendulum Zone pair is established; Link-based pressure through Promethean Princess, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, and Amphibious Swarmship Amblowhale
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Pendulum Monster, place Magician or Performapal scales, and use Mulcharmy or Performapal searches to build a second Pendulum pair before Link Summoning; protection is limited to Solemn and Ash Blossom
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond to the opponent's board with the five hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru, and the Solemn pair) and then rebuild the Pendulum Zone; Solemn Warning and Solemn Strike cost LP
• Recovery: Searchers (25 cards with search text) and Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand; Supreme King Gate Zero and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon return Pendulum monsters to hand
• After siding: Not available: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan and no way to answer a deck that beats it

Why it scores here

The deck's starter access is good: 25 cards carry search text and the probability that at least one searcher is in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.94 (Inferred). Its Pendulum engine has real redundancy, and the seven-to-eight-card interaction suite (five hand traps, two Solemns, Harpie's Feather Duster and Crossout Designator) gives it multiple ways to answer an opposing board. The score is held down by three things the rubric treats as structural failures: the list is illegal in OCG (three Astrograph Sorcerer, one Triple Tactics Talent, one Charmer Quartet and one Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, the last three Forbidden), the deck has no side deck, and there are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are text-only estimates. The score was not taken from averaging card scores or from Odd-Eyes popularity; the 5.4 percent exact-name archetype purity and the 70 off-archetype copies were weighed against the engine's coherence, not counted as a bonus.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4); illegal-list cap (-13). Final formula: Structural 52 -> 0.80*52 + 0.20*42 = 50, minus 12 in modifiers = 38; capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (no normal Final score is given to an Illegal deck); Meta Power provisional and null

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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 text (25 cards) keeps the Pendulum engine accessible from a 5-card hand
• Five hand traps plus two Solemns and Harpie's Feather Duster give layered interaction
• Odd-Eyes and Supreme King bosses have high ATK for closing games

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards and Astrograph Sorcerer run 3 copies against a limit of 1
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Off-archetype engine mix (5.4 percent exact-name purity) makes the Pendulum zone fragile
• No recorded combos, so the power of the engine cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone pair: most lines need two compatible scales in place at once
• Solemn Warning and Solemn Strike cost 2000 and 1500 LP, which matters in a long game
• Astrograph Sorcerer over the limit: the illegal copies must be removed before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with 3 Forbidden and 1 over-limit copy (Astrograph Sorcerer); Main 59, Extra 15, Side 0; the Main and Extra counts are within the size rules; Card text for Odd-Eyes, Supreme King and Magician Pendulum monsters comes from the resolved card data
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) about 0.94; Pendulum engine accessibility and brick estimates; Interaction density from the text role hints
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (dimension 13)
• 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 for going-first, going-second or matchups No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
