Odd-Eyes Deck #771827 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-summon Odd-Eyes / Magician boards into Extra Deck beaters (Supreme King Z-ARC 4000, Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon 2800, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon 3000) and Link/Fusion finishers; Pendulum Zone extension via Supreme King Gate / Magician searchers into repeated Pendulum summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Pendulum Monster + searcher (Skullcrobat Joker, Astrograph/Horoscope, Monkeyboard) to set scales and start a Pendulum Summon of Odd-Eyes or Magician monsters; hold Ash Blossom / Droll as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to slow the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a Pendulum board from Wings of Light / searchers
• Recovery: Pendulum Summon again from the Extra Deck-bound Pendulum monsters and searchers; Odd-Eyes Pendulumgraph and Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer recur cards from GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: deck has zero side-deck cards

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on its system, not by averaging its cards. Its Pendulum core (34 Pendulum Effect frames, 27 searcher-text cards) gives high odds of finding a searcher in hand (about 0.98), but exact Odd-Eyes engine density is low (9 exact-name copies, about 14% purity) and 9 of the 13 usage-stat core cards are absent, so the engine is less cohesive than its size suggests. Interaction is the strongest area: 5 hand traps, 22 negation-text and 23 removal-text cards give layered answers, and Supreme King Z-ARC plus the Xyz and Link finishers provide a real closing plan. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no combo, tournament or win-rate data exists to lift the floor or median. The score is capped because the list breaks the OCG copy limit on Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring (3 copies vs 2 legal), so this is a structural read only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange + 0.2 Toolbox (disclosed; Toolbox weights not applied separately). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-14). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 49, then Illegal cap modifier -14 = 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage (5 hand traps, 22 negation-text cards)
• High searcher density (27 cards), so an opening searcher is near-certain
• Extra Deck closers at 2800 to 4000 ATK with real endboard presence

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• Low exact-archetype purity (13.8%) and 9 of 13 usage core cards absent
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Pendulum scale management raises pilot error and brick risk

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone setup: two compatible scales are needed before any Pendulum summon
• Ash Blossom copy count is illegal as built, so the list would be cut to 2 copies in play

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 52, Extra 13, Side 0 counts against OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit of 2 (violation); Card text and stats for all listed cards; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown (4 Fusion, 2 Xyz, 2 Synchro, 5 Link)
• Inferred: Searcher access about 0.98 and starter odds from hypergeometric estimates; Pendulum brick risk and scale-management difficulty; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists (going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter or OTK rates) No side deck, so post-side evaluation is unavailable Deck title is null Shade the Obscure has a malformed archetype field ('| supports_archetypes Power Patron'), so its archetype tag was not used Meta Power is Provisional with no dated metagame sample
