Witchcrafter Deck #768320 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boards built from Aleister and Magistus starters, closing through Invoked Elysium, Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Oceanus and Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna; Witchcrafter Vice-Madame and Endymion Link boards with Verre and Genni recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Aleister the Reminiscent, Verre Magic, Endymion Empire, Invocation) to reach a Fusion or Link board, using Mistaken Arrest and Infinite Impermanence to protect the first line (Inferred; depends on the illegal 3-copy Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization being removed)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Nibiru) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Aleister and Magistus searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Verre and Genni recursion and Aleister's search from Deck and GY; no recorded recovery lines exist (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; a best-of-3 deck with 0 side cards has no adaptation path

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often: the 17 searcher-text cards give about 0.83 odds of at least one searcher in a going-first five-card hand, and the archetype-core group gives about 0.62 odds of at least one core card. Conversion into a Fusion or Link board has a plausible ceiling from closers such as Invoked Elysium (3200 ATK), Hyperinvoked Aeon (3800 ATK) and Oceanus (3000 ATK), but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only Inferred reads. Interaction is dense (22 removal-text, 13 negation-text, 11 hand-trap flags), which supports the interruption and board-control scores. Scores are not earned from popularity: archetype usage is only 24% core coverage, exact-name purity is 1.4%, and no meta-share exists. The deck is capped at 30 because it is illegal (3 copies of two Semi-Limited cards, 2 copies allowed), it has no side deck, and it has no combo or win-rate evidence. The score was built on the system, not by averaging card scores, and the evaluation is theoretical or structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53.4, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); Extra Deck dependence (-2); illegal-deck cap (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 46 before modifiers; modifiers -6 (banlist exposure -4, Extra Deck dependence -2) gives 40; illegal-deck cap applied, final 30 (theoretical or structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Searcher density (17 cards) gives a high chance of opening at least one search route
• Dense interaction: 22 removal-text, 13 negation-text, and 11 hand-trap flags
• Strong Fusion and Link closers at 3000 to 3800 ATK
• Extra Deck is filled to the limit with high-impact Fusion and Link options

Weaknesses

• Two copy-limit violations make the list illegal
• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low archetype purity (1.4% exact name; 73 off-archetype copies across Magistus, Invoked, Endymion and Aleister)
• No recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only

Critical choke points

• Aleister or Magistus searcher access for the Fusion and Link lines
• Single-copy Extra Deck closers such as Invoked Elysium and Hyperinvoked Aeon
• Super Polymerization as the main Fusion enabler, which is illegal at 3 copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization run 3 copies against a limit of 2; Main 59 and Extra 15 are within size rules, with 0 side cards; Archetype core share is 24% of usage-stat cards present; Exact-name archetype purity is 1.4%
• Inferred: Searcher access about 0.83 for a 5-card opener; Core-card access about 0.62 for a 5-card opener; Hand-trap access about 0.73 for a 6-card going-second hand; Structural score 53.4 from the Combo weight profile
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample was supplied; Matchup fit (D13) is provisional without tournament or meta data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent One passcode (86120751) in CardIDList could not be resolved and is counted as main Side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
