Magistus Deck #770531 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Fusion boards built from Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail monsters (Magistus Chorozo, Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna at 2900 ATK, Teller and Weaver of Fairy Tails) once the starter is live; Recursion of Fairy Tail and Magistus monsters through Fairy Tail Ball, Once Upon a Fairy Tail and Spenta from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon a Level 4 starter (Regulus, Luna, Crowley, Verre or Genia) into Link and Fusion lines, protected by Ash Blossom where legal
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) and Mulcharmy draw effects to answer the opponent's board before rebuilding through Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Fairy Tail Ball and Once Upon a Fairy Tail recover monsters from the Deck and banishment; Spenta and Verre Magic recur from the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; evaluated as structural-only

Why it scores here

The structural read is built from the system, not from averaging card scores. The 14 Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail core cards give a 0.88 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 16 searcher effects give a 0.92 chance of at least one searcher in hand, so the deck usually opens with a live starter (Inferred). Seven hand traps and 12 negation effects give it real interaction density, but the 21% exact-name archetype purity means the three sub-archetypes compete for slots and some hands will be redundant or conflicting (Inferred). No combos, boards or guides were supplied, so the ceiling and median are estimated from text alone and remain low-confidence. Popularity of the Magistus archetype does not add points, and the deck is capped to 30 because it breaks the copy limit on two Semi-Limited cards and has no Side Deck, which means no structural score can be reported as a normal contextual result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Copy-limit violations (illegal list) (-12); Empty Side Deck (-2). Final formula: Theoretical only. Unconstrained 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 52.2 before modifiers; modifiers -14 gives 38.2, then the Illegal cap of 30 applies

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail starters are live in about 88% of opening hands (Inferred)
• Layered interaction from 7 hand traps and 12 negation texts (Inferred)
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Link and XYZ routes (Verified count)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization (Verified)
• No Side Deck (Verified)
• Only 21% exact-name archetype purity, so three sub-archetypes compete for slots (Verified count, Inferred read)

Critical choke points

• Single Level 4 starter needed for Link or Fusion lines
• Ash Blossom and the hand traps are the only early answers to going-second disruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization (3 copies vs legal 2); Main 42 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Side is 0; Archetype purity 21.1%, with 12 exact-name cards
• Inferred: Starter access 0.88 for at least one core card in 5 cards; Brick proxy 0.12; Going-second hand-trap group 0.69 at least one in 6 cards; Interaction density and combo ceiling read from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; Tournament reliability is an estimate with no match data
• 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 exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup figures are Inferred No Side Deck registered, so post-side performance is unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
