Charmer Deck #770804 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona ATK 3800, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame ATK 2700) reached through Witchcrafter searcher chains and Fusion/Link summons (Inferred from text); Endymion and Magistus Spellcaster engines reaching Link and Fusion bosses (Inferred from text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher such as Witchcrafter Walpurgis, Celebration or Marka, search a Witchcrafter monster, then pivot to a Fusion or Link boss; hand traps held for the opponent's first answer (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Ghost Ogre and Effect Veiler to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through GY-recursive Witchcrafter effects (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover from GY via Witchcrafter Creation, Confusion Confession, Draping and Ash-style recursion; Witchcrafter Terracottan and Potterie revive from hand or GY (Inferred from text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is present, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence; legality must be fixed before a side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The score is a structural read of the list as a system, not an average of card scores, and it is capped because the list is Illegal: three Forbidden OCG cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep) are each run at one copy against zero legal copies. The 22 searcher-text cards give a 0.93 probability of at least one searcher in an opening hand of five, so the engine is reliably live on turn 1 and this is the main reason the structural score is not lower (Inferred). Interaction density is high, with 10 hand-trap cards and 15 negation-text cards, and hand traps reach a going-second hand at 0.71, which supports a credible going-second plan (Inferred). The deck runs only 1.4% exact-name Charmer cards and spreads across Witchcrafter, Endymion, Magistus, Mulcharmy, Kaiju and other sub-archetypes, so engine coherence is weaker than the searcher density suggests (Verified purity counts). Combo ceiling and floor cannot be measured because combos_evidence contains no parseable boards, and the deck has no Side Deck and no tournament or win-rate evidence, so those dimensions remain provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 55.6; modifiers -12 gives 43.6; Illegal-list cap applied, final = 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• 22 searcher-text cards make the engine reliably live on turn 1 (Inferred)
• Layered hand traps and negation text give strong interaction (Inferred)
• Extra Deck bosses (Rilliona ATK 3800, Vice-Madame ATK 2700) close games (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden OCG cards make the list illegal as built (Verified)
• Low exact-name archetype purity (1.4%) across several sub-archetypes (Verified)
• No Side Deck (Verified)
• Combo ceiling and floor unmeasurable without recorded boards (Verified data gap)

Critical choke points

• Removing the three Forbidden cards removes a closer (Dragoon) and a Link boss, so the replacement plan must be verified
• The searcher engine depends on Witchcrafter monsters remaining on the field to unlock several effects (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: three Forbidden OCG cards each at 1 copy versus 0 legal copies; Main 56 and Extra 15 counts are within the size rules; Composition counts and archetype purity (1.4% exact-name) from evidence.composition; Probabilities from the hypergeometric table (0.927 searcher, 0.7115 hand-trap going second); Usage statistics: 3 of 6 core cards present
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and going-first/going-second plans from card text and searcher density; Hand-trap and negation interaction quality from text roles; Resilience and recovery from recursive Witchcrafter effects
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: a normal Final Contextual score cannot be given until the three Forbidden cards are removed No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) exists in YGOVN No Side Deck, so best-of-3 post-side behavior is unassessed Data inconsistency: S:P Little Knight appears as an Extra Deck card with 1 copy, but usage_statistics marks it in_this_deck=false (copies 0); the card list was taken as authoritative Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
