Exodia Deck #772212 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 24/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Raise Moon / Galaxy-Eyes Xyz boss plus hand-trap and negation protection (Inferred from card text; no Exodia finisher is present); Galaxy-Eyes Antimatter Dragon or Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Howling as a board-closing threat (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a 3-copy Raise Moon starter; with 1 copy of the archetype core, the Raise Moon draw/special-summon chain is only hit about 25% of the time in a 5-card opener (Inferred). Otherwise the hand is a bridge of Tuners and hand traps with no guaranteed line.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand contains at least one hand trap about 82% of the time (hypergeometric, Inferred); use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then rebuild through a Xyz boss.
• Recovery: Raise Moon recursion via The Glitter of Raise Moon and "Raise Moon" the City that Never Sleeps, plus Pot of Desires for card flow (Inferred from text; no combo evidence).
• After siding: Not available: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: Triple Tactics Talent, Albion the Branded Dragon and Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker are Forbidden and each is run once, so the score is capped low and marked structural-only. The deck is a Raise Moon Xyz shell with a large hand-trap and negation suite (13 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards), which earns the going-second interaction score (D8) and the endboard interaction score (D7). The engine is fragile: each 3-copy Raise Moon starter appears in a 5-card opener only about 25% of the time, and the deck has 1 of 20 Exodia core cards, so the Exodia name does not provide an engine. No combos, tournament data, or side deck were supplied, so the ceiling, median and side-deck scores are low-confidence and the meta score is provisional. The score comes from interaction density and going-second hand-trap coverage on the system, not from averaging card power or from Exodia's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Stun secondary used only as a strategy label, not a weight blend. Structural ≈ 38, Going First ≈ 25, Going Second ≈ 30, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); archetype incoherence (-3); no side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(38.1) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 24.5 -> 24; Illegal cap applied (structural-only); Meta Provisional

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 interaction (13 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards): reliable going-second answers to the opponent's first play
• Multiple Xyz and Synchro closing bodies with high ATK (Galaxy-Eyes Antimatter Dragon 4000 ATK, Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Howling 4500 ATK)
• Some recovery through Raise Moon recursion and Pot of Desires

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards are run
• Low starter probability: each 3-copy Raise Moon starter is in a 5-card opener only ~25% of the time
• Exodia name without Exodia pieces: 1 of 20 core cards; the Exodia engine is absent
• No side deck: no post-side adaptability in best-of-3
• Weak brick management: 20 tech and 13 hand traps compete for slots with the engine

Critical choke points

• Raise Moon starter density: the engine depends on 3-copy starters that rarely appear in the opener
• Forbidden-card removal: the deck cannot be played legally until the three banned cards are cut

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three OCG Forbidden cards (copies run 1, legal 0); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Card text and stats for all 40+ distinct cards
• Inferred: Starter probability ~25% for 3-copy Raise Moon cards in a 5-card opener; Going-second hand-trap coverage ~82%; Interaction density and redundancy read from card text; Confidence in D1-D7 scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred No side deck list (0 side cards) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
