Magician Girls Deck #763261 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Shining Sarcophagus shell: Dark Magician / Magician Girl boards pressured by Gandora-G, Timaeus, Dark Magician of Destruction and the Extra Deck Link/Xyz/Fusion finishers; Extra Deck boss monsters (Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon, Chaos Angel, Number 97/100/38) converting a stable board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (15 searcher-text cards), reach Shining Sarcophagus or Gadget Trio, search the next engine piece, then Link/Fusion into a boss while holding Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 7 hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Infinite Impermanence x3, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) to disrupt the opponent first, then rebuild from the Sarcophagus engine and Extra Deck boss monsters
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw effects, Future Silence / Ties That Bind searches and the Gadget Trio GY trigger; no recorded boards confirm these lines
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0)

Why it scores here

The deck scores on the system, not on its card list: 15 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a searcher in the opening hand (P at least one, about 0.91), but the key engine piece Shining Sarcophagus (3 copies) appears in only about 33% of going-first 5-card hands, so the engine is live on turn 1 less often than the searcher count suggests. Its strongest identifiable interaction is 7 hand traps plus 9 negation-text cards, with about 70% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand, which is why Interaction and going-second scores sit above the consistency score. No recorded boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only Inferred reads and no combo output is credited. The deck has no Side Deck, 56 off-archetype copies and zero exact-name Magician Girls purity, which caps adaptability and coherence. Three Forbidden cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep) make the list Illegal, so the legality cap applies: the structural estimate is about 52 and the final contextual score is capped at 35 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Archetype popularity and the Shining Sarcophagus name were not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-2); legality_cap (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); computed about 38 before the legality cap, capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.33 · 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

• 15 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a searcher in the opening hand
• 7 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards provide layered interaction, strongest going second
• Shining Sarcophagus engine has several redundant enablers (Gadget Trio, Future Silence, Ties That Bind, Stronghold)
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link, Synchro and Xyz finishers, so the deck has several threat types

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards are run (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep)
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Zero exact-name Magician Girls purity; 56 off-archetype copies spread across several sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Shining Sarcophagus (3 copies) is live in only about 33% of going-first opening hands
• Dark Magician / Magician Girl core (singletons and 2-copies) required by several Extra Deck and Main Deck lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards are run in OCG; the list is Illegal under the banlist field used; Main Deck 41 cards, Extra Deck 15 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Copy counts and card text excerpts for 23 distinct Main Deck and 14 distinct Extra Deck cards; Archetype usage stats: 5 rows, 2 of 4 core cards present
• Inferred: Shining Sarcophagus live in about 33% of going-first opening hands (hypergeometric); About 70% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand; Interaction density and going-second strength read from card text; Structural score 52 from the Midrange weight profile
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample supplied; Matchup fit (D13) and post-side plan (D12) have no performance data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only Inferred reads No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck present, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null; archetype label taken from the deck record
