Witchcrafter Deck #768679 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Link
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Witchcrafter Fusion and Link boards (Witchcrafter Vice-Madame, Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona, Firewall Dragon) built from Witchcrafter searchers and Spellcaster recursion; Endymion / Verre Link and Magistus-adjacent boards, plus Witchcrafter Pupils-style recursion, if the Forbidden cards are removed
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Witchcrafter via Walpurgis or Creation, Normal Summon a Spellcaster, then convert with Witchcrafter Genni or Pittore into a Fusion (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler and Maxx C for the opponent's first Summon or activation, then rebuild from the Witchcrafter searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recycle Spells and Spellcasters through Witchcrafter Haine, Terracottan and Genni GY effects to rebuild the Witchcrafter line (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal for OCG: four Forbidden cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep, Protectcode Talker) are each run at 1 copy against a legal limit of 0, so the structural score is shown for reference only and the final score is capped low. Within that limit, the Witchcrafter core (22 archetype copies, 93% chance of at least one archetype card in a 5-card opening hand) gives the deck a reasonable chance of a live engine on turn one, which earns the engine-access and interaction scores. Conversion is the weak point: no parseable boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and the deck earns only moderate combo scores. The deck has no side deck and no tournament or win-rate data, so the adaptability and format-fit scores are low and provisional. Popularity was not credited: the usage-stat core coverage (16 of 25 core cards present) and archetype share did not raise the score, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = about 50.8 before cap; not a normal contextual score, capped to 20 (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

• Witchcrafter core has high access: 93% chance of at least one archetype card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Dense interaction: 8 hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Multiple searchers (17 searcher-text cards) and GY recursion give some route redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 4 Forbidden cards run at 1 copy each
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Off-archetype density: 33% exact archetype purity, 47 off-archetype copies
• No recorded combos, so conversion and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• The four Forbidden Extra Deck cards are in the deck, so the list cannot be played as built
• Extra Deck Fusion and Link lines depend on Spellcaster bodies in the GY and banish zone

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: 4 Forbidden cards run at 1 copy each, legal_copies 0 (legality violations); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; OCG main range 40-60 is respected; Archetype purity 32.9% exact name, 47 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter access 0.25 for a 3-copy card; archetype core access 0.93; Midrange profile weights and dimension scores; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta / format fit (D13) with no dated meta sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: combos_evidence is empty (no parseable boards); conversion and median are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Usage statistics mark Witchcrafter Pupils and Dark Magician of Destruction as not in this deck, but the cards list includes both; treated as present, flagged for review Meta Power is Provisional (null) with no dated metagame sample Deck title is null; the deck is identified by archetype and id only
