Magistus Deck #765624 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Endymion/Magistus board presence converting into 2800+ ATK bodies (Zoroa Verethragna, Invoked Oceanus, Cosmo Queen) and Regulus pressure, as the card text allows; ceiling not measured because no boards were supplied; Fairy Tail recursion and Mulcharmy draw-based card advantage to rebuild after disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Inferred from the archetype core (28 copies, about 98 percent at least one in a 5-card hand): open a Magistus or Endymion starter, search via Regulus, Spenta or Fairy Tail - Matchgiru, then Link or Fusion into a board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap-led (13 hand traps, about 82 percent at least one in a 6-card hand) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Fairy Tail and Mulcharmy recursion
• Recovery: Fairy Tail - Matchgiru and Tails of the Fairy Tails recursion from the GY, plus Mulcharmy draws when the field is empty
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists for best-of-3

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each run 3 times against a limit of 2, so this score is a capped, structural-only read and not a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally, the archetype core is dense (28 copies, about 98 percent to have at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and the list carries 13 hand traps plus about 17 searcher effects, which supports reliable openings and reasonable interaction on the system. The score is held back by an exact-name Magistus purity of only 17 percent: the 58 off-archetype copies spread across Fairy Tail, Endymion, Mulcharmy and generic staples, and Mulcharmy's draw effects need an empty field while the other engines want board presence, so the list has engine conflicts and brick risk. No combo boards, tournament record, guides or side deck exist, so ceiling and median output are text-only inference and post-side strength is unknown. The popularity of the Magistus archetype and the card-level strength of individual cards were not credited; the deck was scored as a system and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (no secondary weights applied; Structural uses the Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflict (-4). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural read only. Unrounded 0.80*54.6 (Structural) + 0.20*45 (TR) = 52.7, plus modifiers (-8) = 44.7, then capped at 25 for the illegal list (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense archetype core: 28 copies, about 98 percent to have at least one in a 5-card hand
• Broad interaction: 13 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards and 11 removal-text cards
• Multiple searchers (17 copies) and recursion (Fairy Tail, Mulcharmy) give some resilience after disruption
• Extra Deck threats reach roughly 2800 to 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low exact-name Magistus purity (17 percent) with 58 off-archetype copies spread across sub-archetypes
• Mulcharmy's empty-field condition conflicts with the board-presence lines
• No side deck, so no post-side plan in best-of-3
• Full Extra Deck (15/15) with several Limited Extra Deck cards and specific Fusion and Link material requirements

Critical choke points

• Limited cards Summon Sorceress and Fairy Tail - Snow: one copy each, with no duplicate
• Instant Fusion and Super Polymerization as the Fusion access routes
• No side deck: any matchup problem carries across all three games

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization exceed the copy limit (3 vs 2); Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within size rules; side count is 0; Archetype core 28 copies; 17 percent exact-name purity; 13 hand traps; 17 searcher-text copies
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Engine conflict between Mulcharmy empty-field requirements and board-presence lines; Interaction density from card text and role flags; Structural and going-first/second scores
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample); Meta Power (null)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied The deck title is null No side deck supplied: post-side adaptability cannot be assessed
