Millennium Deck #773004 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Assemble the five-piece Exodia (Exodia the Forbidden One plus the four Forbidden One limbs, all Limited to 1 copy) for an instant win, or reach The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate (3 copies) as a 3000-ATK closer through Millennium Ankh.; Millennium and Blue-Eyes/Gaia beatdown: Heart of the Blue-Eyes and Heart of Gaia searching Millennium Ankh, with Winged Dragon of Ra and Number 38 as bosses.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Millennium Ankh (3 copies) or a Millennium searcher (Shield, Sengenjin, Golem) to reach a Millennium board. The hand needs a searcher plus an engine card; P(>=1 Ankh in opening 5) is about 0.26.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Solemn Strike to answer the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Heart of the Blue-Eyes or Heart of Gaia. Going second adds one card (hand 6), so P(>=1 Ankh) rises to about 0.31.
• Recovery: Recover from disruption through Heart of the Blue-Eyes and Heart of Gaia GY effects, Exxod Fires of Rage in the GY, and Wedju Temple to re-place Millennium monsters as Continuous Spells. Recovery depends on the GY and Extra Deck surviving intact.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan. Side slots are unused.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its Combo ceiling comes from a real five-piece Exodia route and a 3000-ATK closer, but that ceiling is rarely reached: the five Limited Exodia pieces are singletons, so a full assembly in opening hand is very unlikely. Engine access is moderate: three Millennium Ankh and a dense searcher package give a workable two-card start, but off-archetype copies make up 57 of 73 cards (16.2% exact-name purity), so the engines compete for the same hand slots. Interaction is the strongest part of the list: three Ash Blossom, three Infinite Impermanence, three Solemn Strike and six hand traps give layered answers to going-second disruption. The deck is illegal as built (three copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization against a two-copy limit), so its score is capped and is theoretical and structural only. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage stats show the Exodia core is standard, but that confirms the list is real, not that it is strong.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_copy_limit (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 43, then -12 illegal-copy-limit/banlist modifier = 31 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 interaction: Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Strike and six hand traps
• Searcher density (15 copies) gives high access to the Millennium engine
• Real instant-win route through five-piece Exodia, plus 3000-ATK closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization over the copy limit
• Low exact-name purity (16.2%); off-archetype cards compete for the same hand slots
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Exodia pieces are singletons and brick easily

Critical choke points

• Millennium Ankh (3 copies) is the main engine starter; P(>=1 in 5) is 0.26
• Exodia-piece assembly depends on all five singletons, which is very unlikely in one hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization over OCG copy limit (3 run vs 2 legal); 53 main / 15 extra / 0 side, all within size rules; Exodia pieces are Limited with 1 copy each (legal); Card text for all listed cards from the evidence excerpts; Archetype usage stats: 23 rows, core present 70.6%
• Inferred: Millennium Ankh P(>=1 in 5) ≈ 0.26 and searcher P ≈ 0.83 (hypergeometric); Consistency and brick estimates for D1 and D2; Interaction quality from card text in D7; Combo ceiling and median from text only (no boards)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit in D13 (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 record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates): those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied 0 side deck cards: post-side plan cannot be evaluated
