Witchcrafter Deck #769000 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Link/Xyz (mechanic tags)
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss summons from the Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail engines (Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Aiwass, Ninaruru, Artemis) once a starter line is live.; Recurring fusion and link material through Super Polymerization, Fairy Tail Ball and Verre Magic, with Mulcharmy draw-engine pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Witchcrafter Genni or Droll & Lock Bird plus a searcher (Genni, Regulus, Verre, Endymion Empire) to reach a Magistus or Endymion starter, then Link or Fusion into an Extra Deck boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Nibiru, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird) and Raigeki/Lightning Storm as the first interaction, then rebuild through the GY with Verre Magic and Endymion Empire.
• Recovery: Recover through searchers in the Deck (22 searcher-text cards) and GY-recursion effects (Matchgiru, Witch of the Black Forest, Once Upon a Fairy Tail), which restock the hand but depend on a live Spellcaster or Magistus monster.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the Main-only list has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The Witchcrafter list runs a 55-card Main that mixes three sub-engines (Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail, plus Mulcharmy) with 16 tech or hand-trap-style cards (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Evenly Matched, Nibiru). Its 0.69 chance of at least one archetype-core card in an opening 5 and the 22 searcher-text cards give it a plausible way to open a live engine and recover through the Deck, which is what drives D1 and D5. The Extra Deck is well covered (15 cards, 8 Fusion, 5 Link, 2 XYZ) and the boss range reaches 2800–2900 ATK, supporting D9 and D11. The score is held down by low archetype purity (1.4% exact-name, 69 of 70 copies off-name), 0 side cards, a Super Polymerization copy count that breaks the OCG limit, and the absence of any combo or tournament evidence. Popularity and usage statistics confirm the list is real, but they did not earn points; card scores were not averaged, and the deck is capped as theoretical-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo 100%; Toolbox secondary is disclosed but not weighted. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist / copy-limit violation (Illegal cap) (-21); Zero side deck (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51 (Meta provisional). Illegal cap applied: deck runs 3 copies of Super Polymerization against a 2-copy limit, so the score is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.31 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and recursion text (22 searcher-text cards) supports consistent recovery
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link and XYZ with high-ATK bosses (Zoroa Verethragna 2900, Starving Venom 2800)
• Interaction breadth: 17 removal-text, 7 negation-text and 7 hand-trap-text cards

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Super Polymerization at 3 copies against a 2-copy limit
• Low archetype coherence: 1.4% exact-name purity across Magistus, Endymion, Fairy Tail and Mulcharmy
• Tech and board-wipe cards (Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Evenly Matched) are dead in most engine hands
• No side deck: zero post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Super Polymerization is the main fusion-material route and is also the illegal card, so the fix is required before the line is playable
• A single live Spellcaster or Magistus monster is needed for most GY and recursion effects

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Super Polymerization 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 counts, within size rules; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 5 Link, 2 XYZ; Archetype purity 1.4%
• Observed: Usage statistics show Witchcrafter Genni, Droll & Lock Bird and Verre present in the typical archetype core (verified stat rows)
• Inferred: P(≥1 starter in 5) ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy card; core-group P ≈ 0.69 (hypergeometric); Full-brick proxy ≈ 0.31; Interaction and recovery reads from card text; Combo ceiling and median from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 45)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side evaluation is not possible Deck title is null in the export
