Magistus Deck #770807 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Tempo
• 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: Witchcrafter and Endymion Spellcaster boards converted into large Fusion or Link beaters (Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona 3800, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame 2700, Dark Magician of Destruction 2800, Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800) and ATK-boost lines; Mulcharmy and Witchcrafter card-draw and GY recursion grinding the opponent out over a long round
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Witchcrafter or Endymion Spell (Witchcrafter Walpurgis, Endymion Empire, Spell Power Mastery) and Special Summon a Witchcrafter monster to Fusion or Link into a board, with hand traps held up
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold up Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler and Droll & Lock Bird across six cards to stop the opponent's starter, then Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recycle Witchcrafter Creation, Witchcrafter Draping, Witchcrafter Unveiling and Witchcrafter Confusion Confession from the GY during End Phase, and re-search with Witchcrafter Walpurgis
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal: three Forbidden OCG cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Cross-Sheep) are run, so it receives a capped theoretical, structural-only score of 20 rather than a normal Final Contextual score. On structure, the deck reliably finds a starter, since 22 searcher cards give a 0.93 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and it has dense interaction with 10 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards. Its ceiling is high on paper through Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona and Vice-Madame, but the combo evidence is empty, so the median and the consistency of the Fusion and Link lines are unmeasured. The 60-card-limit main deck and 15-card Extra Deck are size-legal, but the engine is split across Witchcrafter, Endymion, Magistus, Mulcharmy, Kaiju and several unrelated archetypes, and only 4.2% of the main deck is exact Magistus; the usual core (Crowley, Endymion, Zoroa) is missing. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the score was built from the system rather than by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 52.5, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (0); engine_conflicts (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural read only (0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 50 uncapped); final score capped at 20 because banned cards are in the list; Meta provisional

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

• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage for going second
• Multiple searchers give high access to a starter
• Several 2700–3800 ATK Fusion and Link closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three Forbidden cards are run
• Engine split across Witchcrafter, Endymion, Magistus, Mulcharmy and other sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck
• Core Magistus cards (Crowley, Endymion, Zoroa) absent

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck Fusion and Link summons depend on the Witchcrafter monster in hand or field and cannot be recovered if the Witchcrafter is negated first
• Forbidden Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Charmer Quartet occupy Extra slots that must be cut

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Cross-Sheep are Forbidden in OCG and run at 1 copy; Main Deck 56 and Extra Deck 15 are within size rules; Side Deck is empty
• Inferred: ≈0.93 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand; ≈0.71 chance of one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density across hand traps, negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated sample); Tournament reliability (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 record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, bricks or OTK rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Title is null and no Side Deck is registered
