Odd-Eyes Deck #772246 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-to-Link/Synchro/Xyz pressure through Odd-Eyes and Magician Pendulum monsters, closing with Link and Extra Deck boss monsters; Hand-trap-supported disruption that protects a Pendulum or Extra Deck line once it is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Pendulum Scales with Performapal and Magician Pendulum monsters, then use searchers (Performapal Skullcrobat Joker, Performapal Monkeyboard, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon) to reach the Extra Deck boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird and Trap Eater to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through the Pendulum Zone
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (21 searcher-text copies, P of at least one in a 5-card hand about 0.92) and Mulcharmy draw effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is a Pendulum-based Odd-Eyes and Magician build with 24 Pendulum monsters, 12 hand traps and 21 searcher-text cards. The draw estimates (about 0.25 that a 3-copy starter appears in a 5-card opener, about 0.92 that some searcher appears) suggest it usually opens with a functional first step, but the Pendulum-zone dependency and a 17% exact-name archetype purity cap how consistently that step becomes a plan. The Extra Deck (2500 to 3500 ATK Link, Synchro and Xyz bosses) and 12 hand traps give the system real closing power and resilience, and the going-second hand-trap density (about 0.79 that a 6-card hand holds one) supports a fair second-player plan. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a limit of 2 in OCG, so this is a structural read only. Popularity and archetype stats were not counted, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from the system as a whole.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, 1 secondary per the blend rule. Structural ≈ 52.7, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist and copy-limit exposure (-12); Illegal legality cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52.7) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51.2, then the -12 modifier gives 39.2; the Illegal legality cap sets the final score to 30 (theoretical/structural-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

• 12 hand traps and 22 negation-text copies give a layered interaction package
• Extra Deck bosses (Chaos Angel 3500, Ignister 2850, Odd-Eyes Absolute 2800) give high closing power
• 21 searcher-text copies give a good chance of a searcher in most hands

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against an OCG limit of 2
• Low exact-name archetype purity (17.1%) with 58 off-archetype copies
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• 5 of 13 usage-core Extra Deck cards are absent

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone dependency: Pendulum monsters are dead in hand without a usable Pendulum Zone
• Single-copy Limited cards (Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, S:P Little Knight, Astrograph Sorcerer) are unrecoverable if they are lost

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 55 cards, Extra 15, Side 0; within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run against an OCG limit of 2, Illegal; Usage core: 4 of 13 present (30.8%); Exact-name purity 17.1%
• Inferred: Hypergeometric: about 0.25 that a 3-copy starter is in a 5-card opener; about 0.79 that a hand-trap is in a 6-card going-second hand; Structural read of interaction density from card text (22 negation, 23 removal)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• 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, matchups, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the source
