Witchcrafter Deck #769152 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Multi-threat board from Witchcrafter/Fairy Tail/Magistus fusion and link summons (e.g. Witchcrafter Vice-Madame 2700 ATK, Cosmo Queen 2900 ATK, Verre-based recursion); Recursion-driven attrition: Witchcrafter Genni, Schmietta and Marka recycle Spells and monsters from GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Searcher chain (Walpurgis, Creation, Celebration) into a Witchcrafter Fusion or Link; hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C for responses
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Ghost Ogre) to slow the opponent, then rebuild through Genni and Verre
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Marka, Genni and Witchcrafter Pupils; spell recursion via Celebration and Creation
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is present in the export (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three Forbidden cards (Albion the Branded Dragon, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Charmer Quartet in Bloom) are run at one copy each against a legal limit of zero, so the score is a structural read only and is capped low. Scored on the system, the deck reliably has searchers (20 searcher-text cards) and hand-trap density (7 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards) that keep it functional through interruption, which is what earns the mid-range structural points. Its consistency is held back by low archetype purity (19.4% exact-name copies, with Fairy Tail, Endymion, Mulcharmy, Branded, Kaiju and Magistus splashed in) and a 57-card main deck with 28 zero-level spells and traps, so the deck's conversion and floor are unproven without combo data. Popularity and archetype share earned no points, card-by-card power was not averaged, and Meta Power is provisional with no side deck and no tournament record. The -12 banlist-exposure modifier is what brings the final score down to the low band.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 50.3, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in deck) (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*50.3 + 0.20*40 = 48.2, then -12 banlist-exposure modifier = 36; Illegal status, so structural-only read

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 searcher package (20 searcher-text cards) keeps the opening hand functional
• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Accusation, Red Reboot and Droll & Lock Bird
• High-ATK boss options (Vice-Madame 2700, Cosmo Queen 2900, Marka 2500)
• Recursion through Genni, Marka and Pupils gives some resource recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards at one copy each
• Low archetype purity (19.4%) spreads the engine across several sub-themes
• 57-card main deck with 28 zero-level spells and traps dilutes starter density
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Removing the three Forbidden cards leaves the list legal, but the engine must be re-tuned with no direct replacement for Albion or Red-Eyes
• Heavy reliance on Witchcrafter searchers (Walpurgis, Creation, Celebration) for the first turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards over limit (legal copies 0); Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and size rules; Exact-name archetype purity 19.4%; Card text for hand traps and searchers
• Inferred: Hypergeometric consistency estimates (0.93 core, 0.90 searcher, 0.56 hand-trap going second); Structural dimension scores from card-text reads; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (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 absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
