Odion Deck #773903 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Negate the opponent's plays with a dense trap suite (Solemns, Dominus, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C), then convert the resulting board with Temple of the Kings / Apophis / Odion Link and Xyz pressure (Divine Serpent Apophis, Underworld Goddess).; Summon monsters through Temple of the Kings and Apophis Trap-to-monster lines (Apophis the Swamp Deity, Apophis the Serpent) and Kashtira Fenrir pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Apophis / Temple of the Kings and Dominus traps on T1 for interaction, then start an engine with The Man with the Mark or Treasures of the Kings, holding Solemns for the opponent's first Summon or activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, and Solemn Judgment / Strike / Warning in hand; use hand traps on the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Temple of the Kings and Apophis traps.
• Recovery: Recycle Traps from the GY through Verdict of Anubis, Solemn Accusation, and Dominus effects, then re-open the Temple of the Kings engine with Treasures of the Kings or Man with the Mark.
• After siding: No side deck in Master Duel (side_count 0); no post-side plan applies to this format.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Temple of the Kings / Apophis engine: the archetype-core group has a hypergeometric P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.9998 and the searcher-text group about 0.94 (Inferred). Its 24 removal-text and 21 negation-text cards, plus four hand traps and four Solemns, give it strong end-board interaction and going-second disruption, which is where most of its score comes from. Conversion is the weak point: no recorded combo boards exist, so ceiling and median output are scored from card text only, and the Extra Deck lacks several usage-core pressure cards (Super Starslayer TY-PHON, S:P Little Knight). Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible but did not earn points on their own, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. With no tournament link and no Master Duel win-rate data, Meta Power stays provisional and tournament reliability is only lightly estimated.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: no post-side plan (Master Duel) (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural 61.8, TR 57, modifiers -2 => 58.8 rounded to 59

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · 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

• Near-guaranteed access to the Temple of the Kings / Apophis engine (P≈0.9998 for core cards in opening 5).
• Dense layered interaction: 4 Solemns, Dominus negation trio, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Iron Thunder and Draco-Utopian Aura.
• Strong going-second disruption from the hand-trap suite.

Weaknesses

• No recorded combo boards, so conversion ceiling and median output are unmeasured.
• 12 monsters versus 25 traps raises dead-hand risk.
• Extra Deck lacks several usage-core cards (Super Starslayer TY-PHON, S:P Little Knight), reducing pressure consistency.

Critical choke points

• Temple of the Kings and Apophis Trap activation timing: a single disrupted Temple line can stall the engine.
• Dominus Impulse / Purge require an opponent card on the field; an empty opponent board makes them dead.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in master-duel: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within size rules; all restricted cards at legal copies.; Card text and banlist status for all 26 distinct cards in evidence.; Archetype usage stats: 27 rows with core-card inclusion percentages.
• Observed: Archetype usage shows Odion core inclusion (Apophis, Dominus Impulse, Dominus Purge at 100%).
• Inferred: Engine accessibility (D1) from hypergeometric estimates.; Interaction density (D7) and going-second disruption (D8) from negation and removal text counts.; Brick risk (D2) from the 12-monster / 25-trap split.; Consistency and tournament reliability estimates.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link.; D12 side adaptability and D13 matchup fit are provisional: Master Duel has no side deck and no matchup data.
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no guides for the Odion archetype (guides_evidence total_guides 0) deck title is null; evaluated from card list only
