Witchcrafter Deck #764075 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link boss pressure from the Witchcrafter engine (Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona 3800 ATK, Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame 2700 ATK); Hand-trap and negation control that trades cards 1-for-1 until the Fusion/Link boss lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Witchcrafter or Spellcaster starter (Genni, Verre, Creation, Terracottan), search the engine, and build toward a Fusion or Link boss while holding Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre or Effect Veiler up as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll) to stop the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild through graveyard recursion
• Recovery: Recycle Witchcrafter spells and monsters from the graveyard through Creation, Celebration, Holiday, Terracottan and Confusion Confession, then re-launch the engine
• After siding: None. The list runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards are run at full copy count, so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 35 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structurally the Witchcrafter engine is consistent, with strong searcher coverage (about 82% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5), a redundant starter set and graveyard recursion that lets it rebuild after disruption. Its interaction package (13 hand-trap copies plus several Solemn, Mind Mirror Force and Distortion effects) gives it a real going-second plan, and its Fusion and Link bosses supply a high ceiling. The score is reduced by low main-deck purity (about 28% exact-name Witchcrafter), 9 off-engine Mulcharmy copies, the absence of any Side Deck, and the lack of recorded boards. The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system; it does not reflect archetype popularity or an average of the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (D13 dropped and re-normalised over the remaining 95 weight points for the meta-neutral score). Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Banlist exposure: four Forbidden cards (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck, theoretical only. Structural = 5884 / 95 = 62 (Midrange, D13 dropped). Uncapped: 0.80*62 + 0.20*55 = 60.6, minus 12 banlist modifier = 48.6, capped at 35 because the list is Illegal.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant Witchcrafter starters with strong searcher coverage (Inferred)
• Dense hand-trap and negation package: 13 hand-trap copies including Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence (Verified)
• High-ATK Fusion and Link ceiling: Rilliona 3800 and Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards at full copy count (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Low exact-name purity (28%) with 9 Mulcharmy copies that do not feed the Witchcrafter engine (Verified count, Inferred effect)

Critical choke points

• Any play of the four Forbidden cards is illegal in OCG; the list must be rebuilt before it can be played
• Fusion and Link lines need Spellcaster material and graveyard Witchcrafter spells, so a single lost starter can stall the engine (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Four Forbidden cards at full copy count (0 legal copies); Main 60 and Extra 15 sizes; Side 0; Card text and copy counts as listed in the evidence; Exact-name purity 28%
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities from the hypergeometric estimates; Consistency, interaction and recursion reads from card text; Going-first and going-second strength
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Meta Power (null); Floor and median (D4), because no boards exist
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be scored Usage statistics flag Witchcrafter Pupils, Endymion, Magistus Chorozo and Dark Magician of Destruction as not in this deck, but they appear in the Extra Deck card list; the in_this_deck flags look unreliable
