Witchcrafter Deck #767802 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame, Witchcrafter Golem Aruru) reached through Witchcrafter search and Spell recursion; Magistus and Endymion link/fusion boards that generate continued pressure after interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Witchcrafter engine monster or Spell with Witchcrafter Walpurgis, Creation or Terracottan, then bridge into a Fusion or Link boss; keep Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Droll) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Witchcrafter recursion
• Recovery: Witchcrafter Creation, Witchcrafter Terracottan and Witchcrafter Distortion recur from the GY to refill hand and restore interaction
• After siding: No side deck is run, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens functional lines because 19 cards search and about 89% of opening hands with a 5-card hand contain at least one searcher-text card, which supports a high engine-accessibility score. Interaction is layered (Ash Blossom x2, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Droll, Distortion, Solemn) and recursion through Creation, Terracottan and Distortion helps it continue after disruption. Ceiling and median output could not be measured because no recorded boards exist, so combo scores are text-based inference only. The list is Illegal in OCG because five Forbidden cards are run, so the structural score is capped and the final score is kept low regardless of the system's internal coherence. Archetype popularity did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 57, plus modifiers (-12) = 45, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (Forbidden cards in OCG)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density gives a high chance of a live engine on turn 1 or 2
• Layered hand-trap and on-field negate interaction
• Recursion from the GY keeps lines going after disruption
• Strong Extra Deck boss ATK ceiling

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards run
• Low archetype purity (31%) with many off-archetype staples and tech cards
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Combo ceiling and median cannot be measured from the evidence

Critical choke points

• Boss monsters that need specific Fusion or Link materials
• Dependence on Witchcrafter searchers that must be in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Five Forbidden cards are run in the OCG list, making the deck Illegal; Main 56 and Extra 15 fall within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 2 copies, the Semi-Limited maximum
• Inferred: Searcher access probability about 0.89 for a 5-card hand; Hand-trap coverage probability about 0.67 going second; Interaction layering and recursion quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta and format 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; going-first and going-second splits unknown no side deck, so post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
