Fairy Tail Deck #710012 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fairy Tail and Magistus fusion/link boards built from the Luna and Matchgiru starter engine, closed by high-ATK fusion and link monsters (Zoroa, the Magistus Verethragna; Aiwass; Teller of Fairy Tails) and Bystial 2500-ATK beaters; Fairy Tail - Snow removal plus Fairy Tail Ball / Tails of the Fairy Tails recursion and direct-attack support
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 starter (Fairy Tail - Luna or Matchgiru) into Once Upon a Fairy Tail or Fairy Tail Ball for a second Fairy Tail monster, then Fusion or Xyz toward a Magistus boss; hand traps held for the opponent's first activation (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Droll to interrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Luna/Matchgiru (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre effects, Witchcrafter Genni, and Matchgiru / Once Upon a Fairy Tail recursion, though the recursion chain is undocumented (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck opens a Fairy Tail or Magistus starter reasonably often: P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand) is about 0.94, but any single 3-copy starter such as Fairy Tail - Luna is only about 0.26 in hand (Inferred). Interaction is dense: 11 hand traps, 21 negation-text cards and 20 removal-text cards give the deck layered answers, which earns a moderate end-board and going-second score. Conversion and median output are not scored from recorded boards because no combos were supplied, so those dimensions sit near the midpoint with low confidence. The deck is penalised for being illegal (Forbidden cards in the Main and Extra, three cards over their copy limit, 16 Extra Deck cards), for having no Side Deck, and for only 17.1% exact-name Fairy Tail purity, with 58 off-archetype copies. Popularity and archetype usage do not add points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); extra_deck_over_limit (-2); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical cap. 0.80*48 (Structural) + 0.20*40 (Tournament Reliability) + modifiers (-10) = 36, capped to 30 because the list is illegal. Meta Power is provisional and excluded.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage (11 hand traps, 21 negation-text cards)
• Archetype core is reliably present in opening hands (P about 0.94)
• Multiple fusion, Xyz and link routes from a single starter family

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three cards over their copy limit and four Forbidden cards
• Extra Deck of 16 exceeds the limit of 15
• No Side Deck at all
• Low archetype purity (17.1% exact-name) with 58 off-archetype copies
• No recorded combos, so conversion and median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Fairy Tail - Luna (3 copies) as the primary starter: P(in opening hand) about 0.26 per card
• Forbidden Called by the Grave / Dimension Shifter removal of hand traps and interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: copy-limit violations, Forbidden cards in the Main and Extra Deck, and Extra Deck of 16; Main Deck 54 cards, within 40-60; Zero Side Deck cards; Archetype core present in 22 copies; exact-name purity 17.1%
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities for Luna and the core group; Hand-trap and negation interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions; Brick risk estimate from tech and reactive card count
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 format fit, pending a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second or matchups Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
