Endymion Deck #775001 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Endymion Spell Counter engine: Spell-activation counters on Pendulum monsters and Endymion-named cards feed Special Summons and Link/Xyz/Fusion extra-deck plays, closing with 2800-ATK boss monsters.; Pendulum and Mythical Beast recursion plus Link board-building with Selene, Promethean Princess and Amblowhale for pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Endymion or a Spell Counter card with Spell Power Mastery / Spell Power Attainment / Pot of Desires, play Magistus-adjacent Pendulum starters, then build a Link board to reach a 2800-ATK boss. Starter reliability is low (about 25% for any single 3-copy card in 5 cards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with searchers (about 90% to see at least one) plus interaction (Harpie's Feather Duster, Set Rotation, Cosmic Cyclone, Ultimate Slayer, Soul Release). Still depends on the Endymion engine coming online through a board that is not guaranteed.
• Recovery: Re-search through Spell Power Mastery and Terraforming, and recover Spell Counters from the field and GY with Magical Citadel of Endymion, Magia Magic and Servant/Reflection of Endymion.
• After siding: None: side_count is 0, so there is no post-side plan and no best-of-3 adaptation is available in this list.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably reaches its searchers (about 90% to see at least one of 20 searcher-text cards in five cards) but only sometimes reaches the Endymion starter itself (about 25% for a 3-copy card in an opening five). Once online, the Spell Counter engine can build a Link or Xyz board around 2600–2800 ATK bosses, which earns the closing and interaction dimensions. The list is illegal (3 Chicken Game against a limit of 1, and a Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent), so it receives a capped score with no normal final contextual read. The score comes from consistency, median output, and interaction measured across the whole system, not from Endymion being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores. Archetype purity is only 22.5% and no recorded boards exist, so both the ceiling and the median are text-only inference.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-12), capped low because the list is Illegal; Meta provisional

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

• Searcher density: about 90% to see at least one searcher text card in five cards
• Interaction breadth: 30 removal-text and 11 negation-text cards
• Extra Deck coverage across Link, Xyz and Fusion, with several 2600–2800 ATK bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 Chicken Game against a limit of 1 and a Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent
• Low archetype purity (22.5%) and only 1 of 13 usage-stat core cards present (7.7%)
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Endymion or Spell Counter starter (about 25% in an opening five)
• Spell Counter placement across Pendulum and Spell cards, which many cards depend on
• Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent and 3x Chicken Game: removing them is required before any real evaluation

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck size 56 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and Chicken Game is over the copy limit; Usage stats: 1 of 13 core cards present; Extra Deck breakdown: 12 Link, 2 Xyz, 1 Fusion
• Inferred: P(≥1 Endymion starter in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy card; Searcher coverage of about 90% in five cards; Interaction density from card text (30 removal, 11 negation)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated meta sample); Matchup and side-deck adaptability (no post-side or matchup data)
• 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: going-first/second and matchup rates are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied side_count is 0, so no post-side plan can be assessed
