Legality
Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Dark Magician-family Fusion, Link and Synchro boss monsters (Dark Magician of Destruction, Timaeus, Dark Paladin) built off Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl; Ritual and Pharaoh's Servant pressure supported by Illusion of Chaos and Dark Magician the Magician of Black Magic
- Turn 1 (going first): Search Dark Magician Girl or Magician's Rod with Dark Magical Curtain or Dark Magical Circle, then use Soul Servant and Magician's Rod to reach a Dark Magician-family starter and Extra Deck boss; the illegal Forbidden cards cannot be run in OCG
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C" and Infinite Impermanence for interaction, then rebuild through Dark Magical Curtain and Soul Servant (Inferred)
- Recovery: Recur Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl from the GY through Soul Servant and Magician's Rod, then re-enter a Fusion or Link boss (Inferred)
- After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a connected Dark Magician system, not as an average of its card scores. Its engine (3x Dark Magician Girl, 3x Magician's Rod, 3x Soul Servant, 3x Dark Magical Curtain) gives a 0.32 hypergeometric chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand, and a 0.91 chance of at least one searcher, so the engine is accessible on paper (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 7 hand traps, 15 removal-text cards and 10 negation-text cards, which raises resilience and going-second scores (Inferred from card text). Floor and median output cannot be measured because the deck has no recorded boards, and the 5 Forbidden cards (4 of which are over the copy limit) make the list illegal in OCG, which caps the final score. Popularity was not credited: the archetype core is only 40% present, and meta-share is unavailable, so Meta Power stays provisional.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(>=1 starter in 5-card hand) ~0.32 for 3-copy starters; searcher text group P ~0.91; 3-copy engine core (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | 42 main with 7 distinct spells/traps and a 3-copy histogram; brick risk is high because the core starters are single-role cards (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No recorded boards; ceiling is a text-only read of Dark Magician-to-Fusion/Link/Synchro boss routes (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | combos_evidence total_combos = 0, so no median or power distribution exists; score reflects text-only reasoning (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 60 | 7 hand traps plus recursion from Soul Servant and Magician's Rod give independent lines after one disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Soul Servant, Mulcharmy Purulia and Magician's Rod provide draw/recovery text; no resource-signature data (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 60 | 10 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards in the list, but several strongest interaction cards are Forbidden and cannot be legally run (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 58 | Hand-trap group P(>=1 in 6-card going-second hand) ~0.69; no going-second combo split is recorded (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Extra Deck bosses at 2800 to 2900 ATK (Dark Magician of Destruction, Timaeus, Dark Paladin) with direct-attack text; no end-board data (Verified card stats, Inferred use) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | Exact archetype purity 28.1% with 9 generic and several cross-archetype cards; 21 distinct main cards is compact but loosely coherent (Verified composition, Inferred coherence) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 50 | 15 Extra Deck cards across Fusion, Link and Synchro, with 4 Forbidden or over-limit slots reducing usable coverage (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No side deck registered (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability cannot be measured (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | tournament_context unavailable; no dated metagame sample, so matchup fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multiple Fusion, Link and Synchro summon chains with hand-trap timing decisions raise the pilot skill floor (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Theoretical structural read only (Illegal cap). Uncapped no-meta formula 0.80*54 + 0.20*40 = 51.2, less banlist exposure -12 = 39, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal in OCG.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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 recursion text (Soul Servant, Magician's Rod, Dark Magical Curtain, Dark Magical Circle)
- Seven hand traps and ten negation-text cards give going-second interaction
- Strong Extra Deck boss ceiling at 2800 to 2900 ATK
Weaknesses
- Illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards, four of them over the copy limit
- No side deck registered
- Low archetype purity (28.1% exact name) across Fusion, Link and Synchro routes
- No recorded combos or win data to confirm the floor
Critical choke points
- Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl in hand or GY is required for almost every engine line
- Extra Deck Fusion starters depend on Dark Magician and specific material, so a brick hand has no fallback
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Magicians' Souls, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon (1 copy), Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Baronne de Fleur, Albion the Branded Dragon | Legal OCG replacements from the same engine (e.g., extra Dark Magician-family or Dark Magician Girl-compatible Fusion/Synchro cards) | Restores legality; the deck cannot receive a normal score until the list is legal |
| 2 | One copy of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon slot count reduction | A legal Fusion or Link boss the deck can actually summon | Reduces Extra Deck dead slots after the Forbidden cards are removed |
| 3 | Excess generic or off-archetype copies | Side deck with hand traps and Dark Magician-family removal | A side deck is required for post-side adaptability (D12) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal status with 5 Forbidden card violations; 42 main and 15 extra cards; Card stats and text from the evidence pack; Archetype purity 28.1% exact name
- Inferred: Starter, hand-trap and searcher probabilities from the hypergeometric draw table; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions from card text; Interaction density from text flags
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (tournament_context unavailable)
- 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 side deck registered; post-side plan cannot be assessed no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
