Yu-Gi-Oh! Odds Calculator

 
 



Examples

With a typical deck size of 40 and a hand size of 5,
if you have 3 starters, the chance of drawing at least a starter is 33.76%.

With 12 starters, the chance is 85.06%.
You will brick only once in about 7 games, a decent consistency.
This is the odds if you play Centur-Ion with 3 Primera, 3 Trudea, 3 Stand Up and 3 Emblema Oath.

With 14 starters, the chance is 90.00%, ideal in my opinion.
This is the chance if you add 2 Bonfire to the Centur-Ion deck above.

The downside is that now you have 8 Normal Summons, so 25.68% chance of having 2 Normal Summons in your starting hand.
In case of 6 Normal Summons, the chance reduces to 15.42%.
