Magistus Deck #771125 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange
• 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: Magistus Fusion/Link boards (Zoroa, the Magistus Verethragna, Aiwass, Magistus Chorozo) built from Spellcaster and Magistus material, with Endymion and Fairy Tail as secondary engines; Endymion Link and Fairy Tail Xyz/Fusion pressure, which depends on Regulus and Fairy Tail Snow being drawn
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Magistus/Witchcrafter starters and Verre Magic or Crowley to reach a Link or Fusion board, with Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird held up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Mulcharmy Fuwalos) to break the opponent's first board, then Fusion or Link through the surviving engine
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw and the GY-activated Fairy Tail effects (Tails of the Fairy Tails, Once Upon a Fairy Tail) to rebuild from the graveyard; no card-level recovery was measured
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its archetype core: P(at least one of the 9 core copies in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.74 and P(at least one searcher-text card) is about 0.95, which earns a moderate D1 (Inferred). Interaction density is real, with 4 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards, so D7 is moderate. Conversion and median output cannot be measured because the export has no recorded boards, so D3 and D4 are text-only inferences. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core share and the 82% inclusion of Crowley and Mulcharmy were treated only as evidence that the list is real. The score was not built by averaging card scores. It is capped low because the list is illegal: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: Structural 49 (Combo profile) → Final 0.80*49 + 0.20*35 - 12 (illegal modifier) ≈ 34, then capped to 25 because the legality status is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · 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

• Archetype-core access is strong for a multi-engine deck: searcher text is present in 17 cards, giving P(at least one searcher-text card in 5 cards) ≈ 0.95
• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards cover both the opening turn and the mid-game
• Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Link and Xyz gives several boss-level end-boards (Zoroa Verethragna, Aiwass, Magistus Chorozo)

Weaknesses

• The list is illegal as submitted: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the OCG limit of 2
• Low exact-name purity (23.6%) with three sub-archetypes weakens engine coherence and raises the chance of dead cards
• No side deck: the deck has no post-side plan and no adaptability against a known matchup
• Several key engine cards (Fairy Tail Snow, Instant Fusion, Droll & Lock Bird) are Limited, so only one copy each is allowed and their absence leaves a hole

Critical choke points

• Super Polymerization and the Extra-Deck Fusion summons: a single successful Fusion Summon chain carries most of the Combo line
• Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird as the only hand-trap answers to an early board, which means one disruption can end the turn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Droll & Lock Bird, Fairy Tail - Snow, Instant Fusion and Summon Sorceress are each run at 1 copy, matching their Limited limit; The deck has 0 side-deck cards
• Inferred: Archetype-core opening probability ≈ 0.74 and searcher-text opening probability ≈ 0.95; Hand-trap coverage going second ≈ 0.49 at least one; Engine and interaction quality based on card text; Floor and ceiling estimated from text, not from recorded boards
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample exists; Meta Power, left null
• Data gaps: No recorded combo boards (combo data.total combos = 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional because no dated metagame sample was supplied The deck title is null, so the deck is identified by its id and archetype only No guides attached for the archetype (guide data.total guides = 0)
