Endymion Deck #775168 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna, Aiwass, Mechaba, Mudragon, Weaver) backed by Endymion/Magistus and Fairy Tail recursion; not a single reliable engine; Hand-trap and tech-driven attrition that trades 1-for-1 and leaves the opponent without interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Magistus/Endymion or Fairy Tail starter (about 72% for at least one archetype-core card in hand 5) and extend with searchers, then protect with Solemn/Ash Blossom; the line is not consistently functional across the 55-card list
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand 6 contains a hand trap about 76% of the time; use Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence or Red Reboot to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then convert with Instant Fusion or Fairy Tail boss summons
• Recovery: Recursion from GY via Fairy Tail - Snow, Witchcraft Genni and Verre; Mulcharmy draw-engine; Endymion Empire searches
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3 format

Why it scores here

The structural read is taken from the system: the 55-card Main Deck spans at least five sub-archetypes (Magistus, Fairy Tail, Mulcharmy, Solemn, Anti and generic staples), so exact Endymion purity is only 8.6%, and the deck's coherence is much weaker than its name suggests. The archetype core (12 copies of Endymion/Magistus/Fairy Tail staples) gives about 72% odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and the dense hand-trap package (11 cards) gives about 76% odds of one going second, which is why interaction (D7) and going-second disruption (D8) score best. Consistency, brick management and main-deck efficiency score low because 27 of 38 distinct main cards are singletons and 22 are tech, which adds dead or conflicting draws. There are no recorded boards, no tournament link and no side deck, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and post-side plans are absent. Popularity of the Endymion archetype and the archetype-core inclusion statistics were not credited as power, and card scores were not averaged. The Illegal status (Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Borreload Savage Dragon, both Forbidden) caps the Final Contextual score, so this result is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Combo secondary (about 80/20 in the dimension choice). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); engine conflicts (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: Structural 49 and Tournament Reliability 40 with no metagame (0.80*49 + 0.20*40 = 47.2), then context modifiers total -12, giving 35; the Illegal cap sets the reported score to 25 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.28 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and negation package (11 hand traps, 21 negation-text cards)
• Searcher density (17 searcher-text cards) for recovery
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link, Synchro and Xyz with several strong bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden Extra Deck cards
• Low archetype purity (8.6%) and 64 off-archetype copies
• No side deck (side_count 0)
• Many singleton and tech slots reduce consistency

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck legality: removing Charmer Quartet and Borreload is required before any normal score applies
• Reliance on Fusion Summon routes (Instant Fusion, Super Polymerization) for boss access

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 counts are within size rules; Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Borreload Savage Dragon are Forbidden (over copy limit); Exact Endymion name purity is 8.6% (6 of 70 copies); Side deck is empty (side_count 0)
• Observed: Archetype-core usage: 12 of 13 core cards tracked; 9 present (69.2%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability about 0.72 (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap probability about 0.76 (hypergeometric); Interaction density high from text reads; Going-second disruption strength from hand-trap count
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• 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, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
