Fairy Tail Deck #771124 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fairy Tail Fusion/Link boards (Teller of Fairy Tails, Weaver of Fairy Tails, Magistus Fusion/Link monsters) converting Fairy Tail monsters with 1850 ATK into direct pressure and field control; Endymion Link and Magistus Fusion boss monsters as a second threat line when Fairy Tail monsters are stopped
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Fairy Tail monsters with Fairy Tail Ball, Once Upon a Fairy Tail or Fairy Tail - Matchgiru, then bridge into Fusion or Link boards; the exact Extra Deck route cannot be confirmed from the evidence
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps against the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Luna and Regulus-style searchers; hand-trap density is thin (4 copies) so this is Inferred
• Recovery: Graveyard-based recursion through Matchgiru and Once Upon a Fairy Tail; text-only reading, no combo data
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is present, so best-of-3 adaptation is unavailable

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: searcher text appears in about 95% of five-card openings (Inferred from the hypergeometric draw table), and the core archetype group is almost always present. Its Fairy Tail, Magistus and Endymion packages give it several overlapping lines, so one blocked route does not end the turn. Interaction is layered across Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Droplet, Spenta and Lacrima, though with only four hand traps the going-second hand-trap chance is about 49%. The score does not come from averaging card power, from the Fairy Tail name, or from usage stats, which only confirm the list is real. The deck is Illegal (three copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization against a limit of two), so the normal formula is overridden and the result is capped to a structural-only score of 30.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.85 Midrange / 0.15 Toolbox (text-led; no combo evidence to break ties). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-16); Banlist exposure (-4); Going-second hand-trap thinness (-2). Final formula: Normal no-meta formula: 0.80*54 + 0.20*52 = 53.6, plus modifiers -8 = 45.6. Illegal legality cap applied per rubric Step 2 (copy-limit violations): final 30, theoretical/structural-only.

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

• Searcher density (17 searcher-text cards) gives very high opening-hand access to an engine
• Three-of core for Fairy Tail engine pieces (Luna, Mulcharmy, Ball) plus Ash and Super Polymerization
• Layered interaction: hand traps, negations and removal text across several archetypes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as listed: two cards exceed their copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no adjustment for the matchup
• Only four hand traps; thin going-second interaction
• Three sub-archetypes (Fairy Tail, Magistus, Endymion) dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Only one legal Super Polymerization and one legal Ash Blossom would remove a key Fusion route and a hand trap respectively
• Fusion/Link lines depend on a few Extra Deck pieces (Teller, Weaver, Matchgiru chain) that the opponent can disrupt

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck is 40 cards, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0 (within rules); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies, over the Semi-Limited limit of 2; Droll & Lock Bird, Fairy Tail - Snow, Instant Fusion and Summon Sorceress are Limited and run at 1 copy; Searcher-text group probability 0.9489 and archetype core group 0.9823 from the hypergeometric model
• Inferred: Starter and brick estimates based on card text and copy counts; Going-second hand-trap chance of about 0.49 from the draw table; Interaction density rated from negation and removal text roles; Strategy classification as Midrange with a Toolbox secondary, from text and composition only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format-fit scores (D13); Tournament reliability (no tournament context)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck No side deck present, so D12 and post-side plans cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
