Fairy Tail Deck #766747 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck Link and Fusion boards (Magistus / Endymion / Fairy Tail) that convert through Regulus, Luna, Matchgiru and Spenta, with Fusion access via Super Polymerization and Instant Fusion.; Fairy Tail Fusion and Link pressure through Teller of Fairy Tails and Endymion, with Crowley and Cosmo Queen as late-game boards.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Luna, Regulus, Matchgiru, Spenta) with Ash Blossom and Droll as interaction, then Link or Fusion through Super Polymerization or Instant Fusion.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru and Droll to break the opponent's first turn, then rebuild through the Magistus and Endymion searchers.
• Recovery: Search Fairy Tail Ball, Endymion Empire or Spell Power Mastery to refill the hand; recursion comes from Matchgiru, Spenta and Regulus returning from the GY.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core (Fairy Tail, Magistus, Endymion) is reliably present in the opening hand (about 98% by proxy), but only 9 of 70 cards carry the exact Fairy Tail name and 61 copies are off-archetype, so the engine is split across three sub-archetypes. Interaction is dense (13 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards, 11 removal-text cards), which lifts end-board quality and going-second resilience. No recorded boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and are not separated by observed data. Three Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards make the list illegal in the TCG format, so the score is capped and reported as theoretical and structural only. Popularity of the archetype was not used to earn points, and the deck has no side deck, which caps adaptability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); engine_conflicts (-4); illegal_cap (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 47.3 - 12 = 35.3, then capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical and structural-only score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 hand-trap and negation package (13 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards) for interaction on both turns
• Strong archetype core presence (Luna, Regulus, Matchgiru, Spenta, Magistus and Endymion) gives a high chance of a starter in hand
• Multiple Extra Deck routes (Link and Fusion) give several board-conversion options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and four over-limit copies
• Low exact-archetype purity (12.9%) with 61 off-archetype copies dilutes the engine
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan or adaptability
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards must be removed before the list is legal; this changes the main engine and removes 0 to 1 starters
• Super Polymerization and Instant Fusion are both needed for Fusion access and are Semi-Limited or Limited
• Missing Xyz and Link core cards (Wiccat, Endymion, Teller) leave some Extra Deck slots without a route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: 3 Forbidden cards and 4 over-limit copies (legality block); Main Deck 55 cards, Extra Deck 15 cards, Side Deck 0 cards; Exact archetype purity 12.9% (9 exact of 70 cards); Usage statistics show 17 of 25 core cards present (68%)
• Inferred: Starter access about 98% by proxy from the hypergeometric core-group estimate; Hand-trap density gives a going-second advantage; Interaction density is dense from card text; Brick risk is elevated by conflicting sub-archetype lines
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 or brick telemetry in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred No Side Deck cards, so post-side evaluation is not possible Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
