Magistus Deck #770957 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Magistus Extra Deck summons (Fusion, Link and Xyz) converting a board of Magistus and Endymion monsters into a Magistus boss monster; Fairy Tail fusion and Xyz pressure, plus Endymion Link pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Magistus or Fairy Tail starter with Mulcharmy and draw/search effects, then build toward an Extra Deck boss while holding hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler) for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy draws, Fairy Tail and Magistus searchers, and GY recursion via Witch of the Black Forest and Spenta
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Mulcharmy draw engine and carries a dense hand-trap package (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru), so it can answer early interaction and keep cards in hand. The Magistus core is only partly present (13 exact-name copies, 18.6% purity, with 31 generic and 9 Fairy Tail cards). Its Extra Deck is over the limit and omits two core bosses (Endymion and Zoroa Verethragna), so its conversion to a board is weaker than its interaction suite suggests. No recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The score is structural only: the list is Illegal (Extra Deck 18/15, Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each at 3 copies over a 2-copy Semi-Limited limit), so the score is capped low. Popularity (the Magistus core at 82% and Mulcharmy at 82% usage) confirms the list is real, not that it is strong, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; secondary Stun noted, weights not blended. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal list (size and copy-limit violations) (-12); Missing core bosses (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal-list modifier -12: 0.80*47 + 0.20*35 - 12 ≈ 33

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 suite (13 cards) with several repeatable Quick Effect negates
• Mulcharmy draw engine supports card advantage and hand refill
• Core archetype cards are present at high usage (Crowley, Mulcharmy Fuwalos)

Weaknesses

• Extra Deck over the format limit (18 of 15 allowed)
• Two copies of Semi-Limited cards above the 2-copy limit
• Missing Endymion and Zoroa Verethragna core bosses
• Only 18.6% exact archetype purity; large generic and off-archetype count
• No Side Deck

Critical choke points

• Single Extra Deck boss lines depend on Magistus fusion or Xyz materials
• Hand-trap density means a dead-card risk when the opponent does not play interactive cards first

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 52 cards, Extra 18 cards, Side 0 cards; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs 2 legal copies; Super Polymerization at 3 copies vs 2 legal copies; Droll & Lock Bird, Fairy Tail - Snow, Instant Fusion and Summon Sorceress each at 1 copy within Limited status; Copy histogram 12/5/10 across 1/2/3 copies
• Observed: Usage stats: Crowley 82.5%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 82.5%, Droll & Lock Bird 75.4%
• Inferred: Opening-hand estimate: P(>=1 core card in 5-card opener) ≈ 0.75; Hand-trap density estimate: P(>=1 hand trap in 6) ≈ 0.84; Interaction quality read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit and tournament reliability are unsupported without dated data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) — signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck, so post-side scoring is not possible
