Magistus Deck #754458 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon an Invoked boss (Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Elysium, Invoked Oceanus) through the Aleister the Invoker / Aleister the Reminiscent starter chain; Link Summon Endymion or Aleister the Invoker of Madness and close with direct or piercing pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Aleister, Invocation - Sword, Mulcharmy draw engine, or Magical Meltdown) and search toward a Fusion/Link Extra Deck boss; ~25% per 3-copy starter in a 5-card hand, so the plan is largely hope-based
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand-trap density (16 hand traps, P >= 1 in hand ~0.89) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then Fusion Summon through the resulting gap
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (18 searcher-text cards, P >= 1 in hand5 ~0.87) and GY-based recursion from Invocation, Gamma Summon and Aleister effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in TCG: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2, and it includes Dimension Shifter, which is Forbidden. Under the illegal-deck rule it is capped at 30 and scored as a structural-only theoretical read. The structural score of about 52 comes from the system: starter access is roughly 25% per 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand, the archetype core group is open in about 65% of opening hands, and searcher text is present in about 87% of opening hands. Interaction is dense (16 hand traps, negation text on 12 cards), and going-second hand-trap coverage is about 89%. The score is not an average of the individual card scores, and popularity did not earn points: the archetype core is only 16% present, and there is no tournament or meta data. Output is a ceiling of 3800-ATK Hyperinvoked Aeon with no recorded boards, so the median is unknown and the score carries low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Toolbox secondary, weights as in the Combo profile. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6; banlist-exposure modifier -12 gives 37.6; Illegal-deck cap applied, final 30 (theoretical / structural-only)

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 hand-trap and negation coverage (16 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards)
• Strong going-second hand-trap density (~0.89 in a 6-card hand)
• Redundant searcher text (18 cards) and draw engines (Mulcharmy, Pot of Sloth)
• Extra Deck reaches 3000 to 3800 ATK bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom over copy limit and Forbidden Dimension Shifter included
• Archetype coherence is low: exact-name purity 2.9%, spread across Invoked, Mulcharmy, Greed, D.D., Swamp and others
• No side deck
• Heavy reliance on Aleister-dependent conditional starters

Critical choke points

• The Aleister the Invoker / Aleister the Reminiscent chain gates most Fusion access
• Hyperinvoked Aeon and Invoked Elysium each need specific materials, so one missing piece stops the boss line

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Ash Blossom 3 copies over limit 2; Dimension Shifter Forbidden; Card texts and archetype tags for all 40+ distinct cards; Archetype core present_pct 16%
• Inferred: Starter access ~25% per 3-copy starter in hand5; Going-second hand-trap coverage ~0.89; Interaction density and hand-trap quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
