Endymion Deck #774867 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Witchcrafter and Magistus Fusion/Link boards (Vice-Madame, Pupils, Artemis, Endymion) converting searched starters into board presence; no recorded boards to confirm the finisher.; Ash Blossom and hand-trap-supported recovery into Extra Deck Fusion and Link pressure, with Forbidden Extra Deck threats (Dragoon, Borreload) that cannot legally be played.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Witchcrafter or Magistus starter (Marka, Walpurgis, Creation, Verre Magic - Lacrima) and convert it into a Witchcrafter or Magistus Fusion/Link summon; hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Droll for interruption.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Maxx C or Effect Veiler as hand traps against the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through the searchers and recursion.
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY: Witchcrafter Genni, Schmietta and Terracottan return cards and re-Special Summon Witchcrafters; Witchcrafter Creation and Draping return to hand from the GY in the End Phase.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust between games in best-of-3.

Why it scores here

The structural read is for a theoretical build only, because the list is Illegal: five Forbidden cards are present (Triple Tactics Talent, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Borreload Savage Dragon, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep), four of them in the Extra Deck. The Main Deck is dense and interactive: 21 searcher-text cards, 11 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards give a high chance of a starter and a credible going-second plan. Consistency is held back by the 5.4% exact-name archetype purity and by Witchcrafter/Magistus/Endymion lines that split across sub-archetypes. No combos, tournament results or Side Deck exist, so conversion, floor and meta scores are inferred and provisional. This score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity; the Illegal status caps it at 25.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 = 49.1; minus 12 banlist exposure = 37; Illegal list capped to 25, theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 searcher density (21 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of a starter in the opening hand.
• Strong layered interaction: 11 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards.
• Recursion from the GY gives a real recovery route after disruption.

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: five Forbidden cards, four of them in the Extra Deck.
• Weak archetype purity (5.4% exact-name) splits the engine across Witchcrafter, Magistus and Endymion.
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Critical choke points

• Any Forbidden Extra Deck card is unplayable, so the Fusion/Link routes depend on remaining legal Extra Deck threats.
• Dependence on Witchcrafter Fusion and Link summons for pressure.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: five Forbidden cards, copy-limit violations, Main 59 and Extra 15 sizes within OCG rules.; Composition: 21 searcher-text, 11 hand-trap, 15 negation-text, 24 removal-text cards.; Archetype purity 5.4% exact-name.
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability ≈ 0.90 (searcher proxy).; Going-second hand-trap probability ≈ 0.73.; Recursion and interaction values from card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; matchup fit and tournament reliability are provisional.
• 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 Side Deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed. Evidence inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Endymion the Crescent Magistus, Zoroa and Magistus Chorozo as not in this deck, but the resolved cards list includes all three in the Extra Deck; the cards list was used. Win-rate telemetry does not exist in YGOVN, so going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample.
