Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon a large Link boss (Avramax 3000, Underworld Goddess 3000, Odd-Eyes Absolute 2800, Promethean Princess 2700) after building Spell Counter and Pendulum advantage; Odd-Eyes and Mythical Beast Pendulum boards feeding Fusion/Xyz extra-deck summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Search an Endymion card with Spell Power Mastery or Mythical Beast Master Cerberus, set Pendulum scales, and build Spell Counters to Link Summon a board-dominating monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Upstart Goblin or Dark Magical Curtain for card flow, then Pendulum or Link extension while using Raigeki or Harpie's Feather Duster for board control
• Recovery: Heavy searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) lets the deck rebuild from the Deck, with Spell Counter cards in the GY feeding Magical Citadel of Endymion
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; the best-of-3 adaptation is absent

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from its system, not from averaging card power. Its engine is reasonably accessible: searcher text appears on 18 of 40 main cards, so the opening hand has a 0.96 chance of containing at least one searcher (Inferred), and the three-copy Spell Counter starters each have about a 0.34 chance of appearing in a 5-card opener. Its closing power is the strongest part, with Link bosses at 2700 to 3000 ATK and an Odd-Eyes Absolute negate. Interaction is moderate: about 9 negation-text cards, Raigeki, and Harpie's Feather Duster, but no hand traps. The score is held down by missing combo data (no recorded boards), a deck with no Side Deck, and a Pendulum Zone that several cards compete for. Popularity did not earn points: usage statistics list 13 core cards that this build does not run, so the list is a non-standard Pendulum variant that the baseline stats do not confirm.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-2); Pendulum Zone conflicts (-2); Non-standard build vs usage baseline (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample); 0.80*55.3 + 0.20*48 - 5 = 48.9 -> 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 text (18 cards) keeps the engine accessible
• Strong Link-based closing power at 2700 to 3000 ATK
• Layered removal and negation (Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, 9 negation-text cards)
• Legal list: all Limited cards are run at 1 copy

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No hand traps, so going-second interaction is limited to Raigeki and Feather Duster
• Pendulum Zone conflicts between the Mythical Beast, Odd-Eyes, Astrograph and Horoscope lines
• Off-archetype splash lowers engine coherence (purity 23.6%)
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are text-based only

Critical choke points

• Spell Counter engine depends on Spell Power Mastery or Attainment being live
• Single copies of Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster and Instant Fusion limit disruption options
• Link Summon access relies on Pendulum Zone setup

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, all banlist entries within limits; Copy histogram sums to 40 (8x1, 4x2, 8x3 by distinct card); Extra Deck: 12 Link, 2 Fusion, 1 Xyz; Exact archetype purity 23.6%; Only 2 of 15 usage-stat core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric); Searcher density 0.96 starter access; Interaction layering from text; Engine conflicts from Pendulum Zone text; Midrange classification
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no dated sample)
• 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 for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics describe a different Magistus core, so they do not validate this build
