Magistus Deck #771394 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Invoked and Magistus bosses (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Invoked Elysium 3200 ATK, Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna 2900 ATK) through the Aleister and Invocation engine; Synchro and Link extenders (Vahram, Zoroa Conflagrant Calamity, Artemis) and Nibiru (3000 ATK) as a special-summon finisher after an opponent summons 5 or more monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Aleister the Reminiscent, Invocation, Ghost Ogre or Ash Blossom as starter and searcher, convert via Fusion into an Invoked boss; hold Ash Blossom as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 14 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, PSY-Framegear Gamma, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Aleister or Invocation recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Invocation, Magical Meltdown, Gamma Summon and Aleister effects; Invocation - Sword and Super Polymerization are the remaining Fusion enablers
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck. Best-of-3 play has no sided adaptation, so D12 is scored at the floor.

Why it scores here

The deck's real engine is an Aleister and Invocation Fusion loop, and the list reliably opens a starter with about 78% probability on the archetype core group (Inferred). Its 14 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards give it strong interaction, especially going second with about 84% odds of at least one hand trap in the six-card hand (Inferred). Conversion is the weak point: no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and the median is scored conservatively. The score is not driven by Magistus being a popular archetype, and card scores were not averaged. The list is illegal (two cards over their OCG copy limits), so the Final Contextual score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 49. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-5); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(49) + modifiers(-9) = about 48; capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (over copy limit). Meta Power provisional, excluded.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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, layered interaction: 27 removal-text, 18 negation-text and 14 hand-trap cards
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (about 0.84 for at least one in six cards)
• High-ATK Fusion bosses (3800, 3200, 2900, 2800) and Nibiru as a special-summon finisher
• Recursion through Invocation, Aleister and Gamma Summon supports resource recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed OCG copy limits
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation for best-of-3
• Engine coherence is split across several sub-archetypes (exact purity 14.3%)
• No combo or win-rate data; the median and ceiling are text-only inferences
• High complexity and many decision points for the Fusion lines

Critical choke points

• Aleister or Invocation access for the Fusion engine: if the starter is missing, the deck has no reliable second route
• Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization count is illegal and would be removed or cut to 2 copies before any real play
• Single unresolved passcode (86120751) means the main-deck composition is partly unverified

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed their OCG copy limits; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within size rules; Card text and stats for the resolved cards; Solemn Judgment, Droll and Lock Bird, and PSY-Framegear Gamma are at Limited (1 copy each)
• Inferred: P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opener) about 0.78; Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.84; Interaction quality from text and card counts; Combo ceiling and median from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (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 match record absent One main-deck passcode (86120751) could not be resolved to a card and is counted as main No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no side deck, so no post-side evidence is available
