Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon of Spellcaster boss monsters (Witchcrafter Vice-Madame, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Magistus Chorozo) with negation/removal; Direct attacks via Fairy Tail Ball and board control with Fairy Tail - Wiccat immunity
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Spellcaster pieces with Luna/Walpurgis/Verre, Fusion Summon a boss with built-in negation (Vice-Madame, Chorozo) and set hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Super Polymerization, Witchcrafter Celebration removal, and hand traps (Ash, Nibiru, Droll) to break board then establish fusion
• Recovery: Recur spells (Witchcrafter Creation, Verre Magic) and revive monsters from GY via Genni/Schmietta effects
• After siding: None – side deck empty (Side Deck size 0)

Why it scores here

This deck is a splashed Spellcaster fusion engine combining Magistus, Witchcrafter, Fairy Tail, and Endymion cards, with strong searcher density (18 cards with searcher text) and a 74% chance to open a core piece (Inferred). However, the submitted list is Illegal in OCG because it runs Forbidden Maxx "C" and Borreload Savage Dragon, so its true competitive power cannot be realized without revision. The evaluation scores the system's theoretical cohesion, not the individual card averages, and popularity or archetype usage did not earn points. Without key Magistus extra-deck pieces (Chorozo, Zoroa) the median board is modest, and the lack of a side deck limits best-of-3 adaptation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56.5, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 20. Modifiers: Illegal cards present (-30). Final formula: Illegal deck: no normal Final Contextual formula applied; structural power computed theoretically (Combo weights) but final capped low per rubric

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.26 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High searcher density (18 cards) enables tutoring
• Multiple fusion bosses provide negation and removal
• Decent going-first consistency (P(core)≈0.74)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted (Forbidden cards)
• Missing core Magistus extra-deck monsters (Chorozo, Zoroa)
• No side deck (Side Deck size 0) for post-side plans

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Maxx "C" and Borreload Savage Dragon must be removed
• Reliance on single copies of key starters (Crowley, Spenta)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with Forbidden cards (Maxx "C", Borreload Savage Dragon); Card text excerpts for all main/extra cards; Main 40/Extra 15/Side 0 counts
• Observed: No parsed combo boards (combo data total combos 0)
• Inferred: P(≥1 core in opening hand)≈0.74 from hypergeometric; Dimension scores derived from card-text roles and probabilities; Brick rate ≈25.8% from core absence probability
• Provisional: Matchup coverage D13 (no dated metagame); Meta Power null
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
