Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Fusion and Link Summon boss monsters from the Extra Deck (Dark Magician of Destruction, Dark Magicians, Master of Chaos, Dark Paladin, Underworld Goddess) after building a Dark Magician board through the Dark Magician searchers.; Dark Magician Girl and the Dragon Knight-style Fusion bosses pressuring through the negate-backed board, with Magicians' Combination and Eternal Soul protecting the Dark Magician line.
  • Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Dark Magical Curtain or Magician's Rod to search Dark Magician-named cards, then Timaeus or Illusion of Chaos to build a Fusion/Ritual starter line.
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird and Forbidden Droplet to answer the opponent's first add or summon, then rebuild the Dark Magician board with Magicians' Souls and Soul Servant recursion.
  • Recovery: Recover from disruption through Soul Servant, Magicians' Souls and Dark Magical Circle, which return Dark Magician-named cards and re-search the line from the Deck or GY.
  • After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck in Duel Links, so the post-side plan is absent.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Dark Magician plan reliably: the searcher group (10 copies) has an estimated 0.89 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the 3-copy starters sit near 0.43 each, which is Inferred from hypergeometric odds rather than observed. Conversion is plausible from the card text (Extra Deck bosses at 2800 to 3000 ATK and negate-based protection), but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median scores are text-only inferences and remain low-confidence. Interaction is the strongest area, with 6 negate-text cards, 3 hand traps and 7 removal-text cards, which earns the end-board and offensive scores. The score was not raised by Dark Magician popularity, usage share or the guides, and card scores were not averaged into a deck score.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) = 0.89 for 10 searcher-text copies; P(at least one 3-copy starter) = 0.43 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 66 12 singletons, 3-copy hand traps and Curtain; brick rate not computed from the list, so 66 reflects searcher density and Dark Magician-name redundancy (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 60 Ceiling read from card text only: Curtain-to-Magician's Rod and Soul Servant chains plus Fusion bosses; no recorded boards (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 50 No combos_evidence rows (total_combos 0); median output cannot be measured and is set near neutral (Provisional)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 66 Multiple independent starters (Curtain, Magicians' Souls, Magical Circle, Rod) and Eternal Soul or Magicians' Combination for protection after disruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 64 Soul Servant and Magicians' Souls recursion plus Dark Magician GY effects offset spend; no resource_signature data (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 74 negation_text 6, hand_trap 3, removal_text 7 from role tags and card text (Verified tags, Inferred strength)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 66 Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet and Magician's Combination cover going-second boards, and Dark Paladin and Dragoon add board-breaking text (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 74 Extra Deck boss ATK 2800 to 3000 with Dark Paladin and Underworld Goddess piercing or negating text (Verified ATK, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 60 30 of 30 Main slots filled, 19 distinct, 33.3 percent exact-name archetype purity with 8 generic and tech slots (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 70 9 of 9 Extra slots used: 6 Fusion and 3 Link, with Dark Magician bosses and Link Summon access from Masquerena (Verified composition, Inferred access)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 50 No Side Deck in Duel Links; the dimension is neutral and provisional, not measured (Provisional)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 55 Tournament context is unavailable; the guides note past nerfs but cannot give a dated format read (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 55 Multi-step Fusion and Link lines with several decision points, so error tolerance is moderate (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 61, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: engine compactness (2); unrecoverable choke point (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*63.4 + 0.20*60 = 62.7, plus modifiers net 0, rounded to 63
