Magistus Deck #770810 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK Invoked boss (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK x2, Invoked Elysium 3200 ATK, Invoked Oceanus 3000 ATK) off Aleister monsters and Invocation spells; Thunder Dragon Colossus and Invoked De Anima board-clearing fusion effects after a hand-trap-protected board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Aleister monster (Aleister the Reminiscent) or an Invocation spell (Sword, Grail, Invocation), search or summon the next Aleister piece, then Fusion Summon a boss while hand traps stay in hand for the opponent's response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 1-2 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) to answer the opponent's first starter, then rebuild the Aleister and Invocation engine from the Deck and GY
• Recovery: Recover Invocation spells from the GY (Invocation Grail and Sword recursion) and Aleister monsters from the banishment zone, then re-run the Fusion Summon into a boss
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has an empty Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its starter gate is the 8-copy Invocation spell family (Sword, Grail, Invocation), which gives an estimated 56% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), with Aleister monsters and searchers adding redundancy. Its strongest parts are the 11 hand-trap and tech cards and the high-ATK fusion bosses, which lift interaction and closing power. Its weaknesses are a three-copy Ash Blossom that breaks the OCG limit, an empty Side Deck, an archetype purity of only 2.9% (68 off-archetype copies), and missing core Magistus pieces (Endymion, both Zoroas). The deck's combo ceiling and median could not be measured because no combos were supplied, so those scores are text-based inference. Archetype popularity earned no points, and the deck is capped at 35 because it is illegal in OCG.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.7 Combo / 0.3 Stun. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); unresolved_card (-2); empty_side_deck (-2); engine_dependence (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: uncapped 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-12) = 39; capped at 35 for an illegal OCG list (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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

• Eleven hand-trap and tech cards give broad interaction and a 76% going-second hit rate
• High-ATK fusion bosses (Hyperinvoked Aeon x2, Invoked Elysium) give strong closing power
• Nineteen searcher-text cards and recursion lines support recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Archetype purity is 2.9%, with 68 off-archetype copies across Mulcharmy, generic, and Thunder Dragon cards
• Core Magistus pieces (Endymion, both Zoroas) are missing, which weakens the Magistus Link engine

Critical choke points

• The 8-copy Invocation spell family is the main starter gate; a hand without it relies on Aleister Reminiscent alone
• Fusion Summon requires a live Aleister monster, so one hand-trap or negation on the Aleister piece can end the turn
• One unresolved 3-copy passcode sits in the Main Deck and may be a brick
