Magistus Deck #768847 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Zoroa, the Magistus Verethragna / Conflagrant Calamity, Vahram, Magistus Chorozo) reached through Magistus and Fairy Tail fusion, synchro and link lines; Endymion and Fairy Tail link/xyz pressure, with Mulcharmy draw as a filler plan
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Magistus or Fairy Tail starter (about 97% to have a core-group card in a 5-card hand) and extend toward a Magistus or Fairy Tail Extra Deck boss, holding Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) to answer the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Magistus searchers
• Recovery: Search and recursion via Spenta, Rilliona, Fairy Tail Ball and Verre Magic-Lacrima; Mulcharmy draws into a new hand after the board is cleared
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck reliably gets a Magistus or Fairy Tail starter into hand (about 97% for the archetype-core group in a 5-card hand, Inferred from hypergeometric draws), so its opening is accessible. Its interaction layer is the strongest part of the system: 14 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards, led by Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Droll & Lock Bird, give it real going-second answers and multiple ways to stop a first activation. Conversion is structural only, since no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling rests on the Extra Deck bosses and the Magistus recursion text rather than on any observed line. The score is limited by three things: the deck is illegal as built (three copies each of two Semi-Limited cards), it runs four sub-archetypes with only 24.6% exact-name Magistus purity, and it has no side deck, so it earns no post-side credit. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + modifiers(-5) = 46.6; Illegal deck (over copy limit on 2 cards), so the normal score is capped to 28 and the evaluation is labelled theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 interaction: 14 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards
• Accessible starters: archetype-core group about 97% in a 5-card hand
• Extra Deck boss attack values (2500–2900) give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Four sub-archetypes with 24.6% exact-name Magistus purity
• No side deck registered, so no post-side plan
• Missing Endymion, the Crescent Magistus (81% core inclusion)

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization copy limits: the list cannot be played as built
• Single Extra Deck boss lines depend on specific fusion or synchro materials

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization over the copy limit (3 vs 2); Card text for the 50 main and 15 extra cards; Banlist status for Limited and Semi-Limited cards; Usage stats: Crowley 93.75%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 87.5%, Endymion, the Crescent Magistus 81.25% (not in deck)
• Observed: Usage statistics for the Magistus archetype
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (hypergeometric); Hand-trap redundancy and brick estimate; Interaction density read from text; Going-first and going-second splits
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and 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 record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered
