Millennium Deck #775123 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 41/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Millennium Ankh shows 5 Forbidden One monsters to Special Summon The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate; secondary win is Fusion/Link end boards (Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon, Starving Venom, Heart of the Blue-Eyes beats).; Heart of the Blue-Eyes and Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon (3000 ATK) beatdown after interaction clears the board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set up Millennium Continuous Spells (Shield, Sengenjin, Golem, Wedju Temple) to fuel Snake-Eyes and Fusion, holding hand traps for the opponent's turn 2.
• Turn 2 (going second): Blank the opponent's starter with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Sister, Maxx C, Droll, Evenly Matched), then clear backrow or boards with Heavy Storm, Dimensional Barrier, Harpie's Feather Duster or Dark Ruler No More.
• Recovery: Heart of the Blue-Eyes can discard itself to add Millennium Ankh; Wedju Temple and Golem re-place Millennium monsters; Pot of Prosperity and Exxod Fires of Rage provide card advantage.
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in this list.

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is the Millennium Continuous Spell chain (Shield, Sengenjin, Golem, Wedju Temple, Heart of the Blue-Eyes) that feeds Millennium Ankh and Snake-Eyes, and about 94 percent of opening hands contain some archetype core card (Inferred). The Exodia route is the weak point: Millennium Ankh appears in only about 25 percent of going-first openings, and its five Forbidden One pieces are singletons, so the full Exodia win is a rare event. Interaction is the strongest part of the list: twelve hand-trap-tagged cards, roughly 79 percent of going-second six-card hands contain one, and Heavy Storm, Solemn Judgment, Dimensional Barrier and Dark Ruler No More cover the board. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the system's fit, not from Millennium being a known archetype and not from averaging card scores. No combo replays, tournament data or side deck exist, so the median, the meta position and post-side plan stay Provisional or Inferred and the uncertainty band is wide.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); unrecoverable_choke_point (-3); weak_post_side_plan (-3); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*53.7 + 0.20*45 - 11 = 41

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

• Dense interaction: twelve hand traps, Heavy Storm, Solemn Judgment, Dimensional Barrier, Dark Ruler No More and Harpie's Feather Duster.
• Millennium Continuous Spell chain gives several self-activated restarts and a shared archetype core (about 94 percent of hands).
• Heart of the Blue-Eyes can discard to fetch Millennium Ankh, which partly patches the Ankh access problem.
• Singleton Exodia pieces are protected by Limited status, which limits the damage a single opposing card can do.

Weaknesses

• Millennium Ankh has low access (about 25 percent going first) and is the only path to Exodia Incarnate.
• Dead cards are common because the list runs twenty-six tech-tagged cards and fourteen singletons.
• No side deck, so no adaptation after game one.
• Three or more engines compete for the same slots (Exodia, Blue-Eyes, Harpie, Greed, Venom, Salamangreat), which lowers the exact-name purity to 14.3 percent.

Critical choke points

• Millennium Ankh (3 copies): needed for the Exodia Incarnate route and only about 25 percent to appear going first.
• All five Forbidden One monsters must be in hand, deck or field for Ankh to resolve, so the Exodia route depends on the full singleton set.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side, within OCG size rules and all restricted copy counts.; Card text confirms Ankh shows five Forbidden One monsters to summon Exodia Incarnate, and Heart of the Blue-Eyes can discard to add Ankh.; Archetype core present in 12 of 22 usage-listed core cards; 80.95 percent inclusion for the Millennium and Exodia main-deck core.
• Inferred: Ankh access probability: 0.2529 going first, 0.2977 going second, from the hypergeometric table.; Interaction density is high: about 79 percent of going-second hands contain a hand trap.; Continuous Spell chain synergy with Snake-Eyes summon is Inferred from card text.
• Provisional: Meta position and format fit; no tournament or meta sample supplied.
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Usage statistics mark Mudragon of the Swamp, S:P Little Knight, Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon, Garura and The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate as missing, but the card list includes them in the Extra Deck. Usage matching appears to skip Extra Deck cards, so core-present percentages are unreliable. Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed.
