Endymion Deck #774684 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Pendulum/Spell-Counter engine
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Endymion (Spell Counter removal to destroy and re-summon at scale) plus Extra Deck Fusion/Xyz/Link pressure (Aiwass, Wynn, Dark Magician of Destruction, Dugares) from the Spell-heavy engine; Extra Deck beatdown through Magistus/Witchcrafter follow-ups; Endymion-named support as a second route
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and set up the Pendulum/Spell Counter engine with the 9 searcher-text cards, then convert the opening into a Pendulum or Extra Deck board (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Weak on the evidence: no hand traps, no floodgates and no side deck, so a going-second hand has little answer to an established board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Spell Counter retention and graveyard recursion through Royal Magical Library, Into the Void, Spell Power Grasp and Verre effects (Inferred from text)
• After siding: None: side deck is 0 cards, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Endymion plan reasonably often: 9 searcher-text cards and a 10-copy archetype core give a P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.77, though the key engine pieces (Endymion, Magical Abductor, Verre) are single copies, so the engine is not redundant. Brick risk is the main weakness: only 9 of 41 main cards are monsters, which gives an estimated 27% chance of a 5-card opening with no main-deck monster (Inferred). Conversion is credible on text (Pendulum Endymion, Extra Deck Fusions and Xyz at 2800 ATK), but there are no recorded boards, so both the ceiling and the median are Inferred. Interaction is moderate (removal and negation text, no hand traps, no floodgates), and going second is the clearest weakness, with no side deck to adapt. Popularity and the archetype's usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible but add no points; the score comes from the system's consistency, conversion and interaction, not from an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 53, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: single-copy engine choke point (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51.09 + 0.20*45 - 3 = 46.9 -> 47

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.27 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Legal and compact: 41 main, 9 extra, all copy limits respected
• 9 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a functional opening
• Multiple routes: Pendulum Endymion, Extra Deck Fusions and Xyz, and graveyard recursion
• Removal and negation text provide some end-board interaction

Weaknesses

• Only 9 monsters in the 41-card main deck, so the brick rate is high
• Single copies of the key engine pieces (Endymion, Magical Abductor, Verre)
• No side deck and no hand traps or floodgates, so going second and post-side adaptation are weak
• Spread across generic and sub-archetype cards (exact-name purity 8%)
• Into the Void forces a full-hand discard, which is a self-inflicted cost

Critical choke points

• Endymion (1 copy): the Pendulum board-wipe and counter engine depends on it
• Magical Abductor (1 copy): the Pendulum searcher and the second Pendulum scale
• Monster count in the opening hand: 9 main monsters for 41 cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 41 main, 9 extra, 0 side; Foolish Burial Goods at 1 copy under its Limited status; Archetype is Endymion (archetype_id 175); 1 guide attached; Usage stats available (12 rows); no tournament link
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher-text card in opening 5) ~0.73; P(0 main monsters in opening 5) ~0.27; Ceiling and engine conversion from card text only; Interaction and going-second quality from role flags and text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample is supplied; Tournament reliability, which rests on the Inferred dimensions
• 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: going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics core presence conflicts with the card list: Dark Magician of Destruction and Artemis are listed as in_this_deck=false although they appear in the Extra Deck list, so the 6/9 core-present figure is likely undercounted (ID mismatch suspected) deck title is null; name comes from archetype only
