Magistus Deck #759552 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Magistus and Fairy Tail Fusion/Link/Xyz boards built through Fairy Tail - Luna, Regulus and Magistus searchers, converting into 2700-2900 ATK fusion and link threats (Inferred from text; no recorded boards); Fairy Tail - Matchgiru and Fairy Tail Ball / Once Upon a Fairy Tail special-summon chains into Fairy Tail Wiccat and Weaver of Fairy Tails (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Luna/Regulus starter, use Ghost Belle / Ghost Ogre / Ash Blossom for protection, then Fusion or Link into a Magistus boss (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first summon (Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre), then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects and Endymion Empire (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos / Purulia draw engine and Witch of the Black Forest / Genni searchers re-fuel the hand after a board wipe (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The Magistus/Fairy Tail core is reliably reachable: the archetype-core group has about a 97% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and 17 searcher-text cards give about an 84% chance of a search. The deck has real interaction density (Grisaille Prison, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Solemn Judgment, Called by the Grave, Crossout Designator, plus 10 hand traps), which earns the end-board and going-second dimensions. Output is capped by the lack of recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are Inferred from card text only, and the 58-card main deck with 20 tech cards lowers efficiency and brick resistance. The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each run 3 times against a legal limit of 2, so it does not receive a normal Final score; 30 is a capped, theoretical structural read. Popularity and archetype usage were not used as points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (not separately weighted; Midrange profile used). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); no_side_deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural-only. Structural 58 with modifiers -7 would be 51, but an Illegal deck does not receive a normal Final; score capped at 30. Normal formula would be 0.80·Structural + 0.20·TournamentReliability (Meta provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Core archetype cards are reliably accessible in the opening hand (~97%)
• Dense interaction: spells, traps and 10 hand traps cover going first and second
• Fusion/Link/Xyz Extra Deck offers several distinct boss routes

Weaknesses

• Two cards run over the copy limit, so the list is illegal as built
• 20 tech cards and 10 hand traps leave many conditional or dead cards in hand
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• Low exact-archetype purity (17.8%) spread across Magistus, Fairy Tail, Mulcharmy and Endymion

Critical choke points

• Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 copies) and Super Polymerization (3 copies) exceed the Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Fusion/Link Extra Deck access depends on a small number of Level 4 Spellcaster and Fairy Tail materials
• Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster are conditional on the board state

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 58, Extra 15, Side 0; within size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 2 Xyz, 5 Link (sums to 15); Archetype-core group has 29 copies; P(at least one in hand 5) ≈ 0.97
• Inferred: Hypergeometric consistency estimates for starters and searchers; Going-first and going-second plans and the Fusion/Link win condition; Brick rate and dead-card risk from 20 tech cards; Interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: The Illegal copy-limit violations prevent a normal Final score No combos supplied: combo ceiling, median and power distribution are text-only inference No side deck: post-side and best-of-3 adaptation cannot be assessed No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate, going-first/second or brick-rate telemetry in YGOVN Usage-stat inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Summon Sorceress, Endymion, Charmer Quartet, Wiccat, Garura, Zoroa Verethragna, Teller of Fairy Tails and Weaver of Fairy Tails as in_this_deck=false, but the cards list includes them in the Extra Deck; missing_core is therefore unreliable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
