Fairy Tail Deck #770562 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion, Link and Xyz boss monsters from the Extra Deck (Magistus, Endymion, Fairy Tail engines) attacking into an end board the deck protects with hand traps and negations.; Fairy Tail - Luna and Matchgiru search and Special Summon chains into Fairy Tail Extra Deck monsters, with Nibiru as a 3000 ATK single-card closer.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a searcher (Regulus, Genia, Matchgiru or Luna) and keep a hand trap up to protect the first engine turn; Ash Blossom is the main protection but the list runs one copy over the limit.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand-trap density (about 93% to hold one) to negate the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through the Magistus or Endymion searchers.
• Recovery: Searchers and recursion (Once Upon a Fairy Tail, Fairy Tail Ball, Spell Power Mastery) rebuild from the GY and banish zones; Fairy Tail - Snow reanimates from the GY at high GY cost.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its real engine is the Fairy Tail and Magistus or Endymion core: the archetype core has about a 76% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but exact-name Fairy Tail purity is only 12.9% (9 of 70 archetype-related copies), so the engines split across three sub-archetypes. Interaction is the deck's strongest part: 19 hand traps, 15 negation and 14 removal text hints give about a 93% chance of holding a hand trap on the going-second 6-card hand (Inferred). The combo ceiling and median are unscored because the export has no parseable boards, and Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the deck is illegal. Popularity did not earn points: the Fairy Tail archetype stat is only a usage signal, and no tournament or win-rate data exists. The score is capped low and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary is recorded for context only. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-12); Banlist exposure (Limited cards) (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal cap modifiers: 0.80*50 + 0.20*35 = 47; -12 -5 = 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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 interaction: 19 hand traps, 15 negation-text and 14 removal-text cards, with about a 93% chance of holding a hand trap on going second.
• Strong searcher density (16 searcher-text cards) gives the core engine a good chance of going live.
• The Extra Deck has real boss options (Magistus Chorozo, Aiwass, Zoroa Verethragna, Endymion, Selene) with 1850 to 2900 ATK.

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2.
• Low exact-name archetype purity (12.9%) and three engine families split across Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail.
• No Side Deck: 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan.
• No parseable combos, so the floor, median and ceiling of combo output cannot be measured.

Critical choke points

• The single 3-copy Semi-Limited Ash Blossom must be cut to 2 copies before the deck is legal.
• The Fairy Tail core (13 copies) has about a 24% chance of no copy in the opening 5-card hand (Inferred).
• Limited cards (Instant Fusion, Summon Sorceress, Droll, Fairy Tail - Snow) each sit at 1 copy, so losing one to a hand-trap or a brick drops the line.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2.; Main Deck size 55 (within 40 to 60) and Extra Deck size 15 (within 0 to 15); Side Deck is 0.; Banlist: Droll & Lock Bird, Fairy Tail - Snow, Instant Fusion and Summon Sorceress are Limited at 1 copy each.; Exact-name archetype purity 12.9% (9 of 70 archetype-related copies).
• Observed: Usage statistics confirm the Fairy Tail core cards (Luna, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre, Matchgiru) are standard for the archetype.
• Inferred: P(at least one core copy in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.76 and P(a hand trap in a 6-card hand) ≈ 0.93 (hypergeometric).; Interaction density is high (19 hand traps, 15 negation-text, 14 removal-text), which supports the going-second and end-board scores.; The Balanced/Midrange structural score is about 50 and the final score is capped at 30 because the deck is illegal.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample exists, and the d13 matchup-fit score is provisional.
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates); those signals are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. The deck has no title (deck_name is null) and no Side Deck.
