Ars Magna Deck #766101 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boss monsters (Elfnote June Pride, Mediclius the Extraordinary Power Patron, Chaos Angel) converting board presence into attacks; no recorded combo lines confirm this.; Stardust Dragon and Crystal Wing-style Synchro bosses backed by hand-trap protection; structural read only.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Mulcharmy draw engines and Elfnote searchers, then Synchro or Link Summon a boss. The engines conflict on board state (Mulcharmy wants an empty field, Elfnote wants monsters on it), so the T1 line is inferred, not verified.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit) to interrupt the opponent's summons, then rebuild a board through Elfnote and Power Patron searches.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects and Ars Magna searchers refill the hand after interruption; the depth is inferred from text, not from recorded lines.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play is unsupported.

Why it scores here

This 55-card list is Illegal: Elfnote Lucina is run 3 times against a limit of 1, and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a limit of 2. Its strength is structural only. Three-copy starters open in 25% of going-first 5-card hands and in 30% of going-second 6-card hands, and the deck runs 20 searcher-text cards and 11 hand traps, which earn the going-second and interaction scores. Scores are taken from the system: the mix of Mulcharmy, Elfnote, and Power Patron engines is only 7.1% exact-archetype purity, and the engines partly conflict on board state, so the list is not scored as an average of card scores. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, because usage stats confirm only that the core is real. No recorded combos, no tournament link, and no side deck were supplied, so the floor, median, and post-side dimensions are Inferred or Provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Copy-limit violations (illegal list) (-6); No side deck (-3); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 40; Meta provisional; Illegal legality disclosed as theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Dense searcher text (20 cards) and interaction (11 hand traps, 6 negation-text cards)
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (P≥1 ≈ 0.76)
• Broad Synchro and Link boss options in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations on two cards
• Low archetype purity (7.1%) and engine conflicts
• No side deck
• Zero recorded combos, so the floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Single copies of Limited Extra Deck bosses (S:P Little Knight, T.G. Hyper Librarian) and Limited spells
• Mulcharmy draw engines that require an empty field conflict with Elfnote board-presence requirements

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with two copy-limit violations; 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; size rules satisfied; Archetype purity 7.1%; 65 off-archetype copies; Hypergeometric draw odds from the Main Deck
• Observed: Core archetype usage is high (97–100% for listed core cards)
• Inferred: Engine and interaction consistency estimates; Going-second hand-trap strength; Engine conflict penalty; Boss and closing text reads
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be scored Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
