Spellbook Deck #769750 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: No single confirmed win condition: no recorded combos exist. The Extra Deck closers (Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon, Quintet Magician, Dark Magician of Destruction) are the intended finishers (Inferred).; Spellbook, Charmer and Fairy Tail Fusion/Link extensions (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Spellbook or Fairy Tail starter (Spellbook of Secrets, Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, Fairy Tail Ball, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) and try to reach one engine; no confirmed T1 line exists in the evidence (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C) to answer the opening, then flip-control Charmers (Dharc, Lyna) or Possessed Destiny (Inferred).
• Recovery: Rebuild through searchers and GY-banish effects (Spellbook of the Grand Circle, Awakening of the Possessed) (Inferred).
• After siding: Not assessable: Side Deck size is 0, so the deck has no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The list is illegal: three Forbidden cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep) are run over the copy limit in the Extra Deck, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read capped at 20. The deck has good searcher density (33 searcher-text cards, about 98% to find one in the opening five) and seven hand traps plus eight removal-text cards, which gives it real interaction on paper. It does not open a single functional plan reliably: 37 distinct main-deck cards spread across Spellbook, Charmer, Fairy Tail, Possessed, Magician and Familiar-Possessed, with an exact-name archetype purity of 13.3%, so the engines compete for the same hand slots. No combos were recorded, so the ceiling and floor cannot be measured, and the deck has no side deck. The score comes from consistency, interaction and cohesion on the system; popularity was not credited and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(42) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 40.6, plus modifiers (-12) = 28.6, then the Illegal cap applied, final 20 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 and draw-text coverage (33 searcher-text cards; about 98% to find one in the opening five)
• Layered interaction on paper: 7 hand traps, 12 negation-text and 8 removal-text cards
• Core archetype cards are at full inclusion in the usage stats

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden Extra Deck cards over the copy limit
• Four engines compete for the same hand slots (exact-name purity 13.3%)
• No side deck for a best-of-3 format
• No recorded combos, so the power ceiling and floor cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Three Forbidden Extra Deck slots must be replaced before any legal evaluation is possible
• Any single engine that depends on one 3-copy starter (about 0.23 to appear in an opening 5)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: three Forbidden cards over the copy limit; main 60 and extra 15 within size rules; Copy histogram, type spread, and archetype purity (13.3%); Role tags: 7 hand-trap, 7 tech, 33 searcher-text, 12 negation-text, 8 removal-text; Usage statistics: core cards at 100% and 66% inclusion
• Inferred: Consistency estimates (hypergeometric, starter and archetype core draw odds); Functional roles and turn-1 and turn-2 plans; Interaction quality read from card text; Pilotability from decision-point count
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup 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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, starter, brick or OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck size is 0: no side deck to evaluate post-side plans
