Fairy Tail Deck #772018 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fairy Tail and Magistus Fusion/Link/Xyz boards (Teller of Fairy Tails, Weaver of Fairy Tails, Magistus Chorozo, Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna) converting Fairy Tail monsters into pressure, with Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed and Hyperinvoked Aeon as high-ATK finishers; Direct attacks from Fairy Tail monsters via Fairy Tail Ball, and Invoked Fusion boards via Invoked De Anima and Invoked Baybarron
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Fairy Tail Ball or Luna and Matchgiru to search, Normal Summon Luna to fetch a 1850 Spellcaster, then use Fusion or Link material to reach Teller or Weaver; the line is conditional on specific starters and is not reliable from a 5-card hand
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll and Solemn Warning to interrupt the opponent, then use Instant Fusion, Super Polymerization, or Fairy Tail Snow to rebuild the board; hand-trap density is the main second-turn asset
• Recovery: Searchers (23 copies) and Fairy Tail Ball, Once Upon a Fairy Tail, and Matchgiru recover from one interruption; the recovery depends on Fairy Tail monsters staying in GY or banishment, which is not verified in text
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the Semi-Limited copy-limit violations would have to be fixed before any side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck reliably has access to its core engine: 21 archetype-core copies give about 0.92 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 23 searcher-text cards help it find starters. Its interaction is the strongest part, with 10 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards, and 24 removal-text cards, which gives a 0.72 chance of at least one hand trap when going second (Inferred). Conversion is the weak point: there are no parseable recorded boards, so the ceiling and median come only from card text, and the Fairy Tail and Magistus Fusion/Link lines each need specific starters. Offensive closing comes from high-ATK Extra Deck threats, but only 14.3% of the main deck is exact Fairy Tail, so the list is spread across related sub-archetypes and 60 off-archetype copies lower coherence. The deck is Illegal as built (3 copies of two Semi-Limited cards), so it does not receive a normal Final score: the structural read is capped and the number is theoretical. No popularity, meta share or card-level averages were used to earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal copy-limit violation (-6); banlist exposure (-2); no side deck (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52.24 + 0.20*40 - 8 = 41.8; capped to 35 because the deck is Illegal (copy-limit violations), so this is theoretical only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 interaction: 10 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards
• Consistent starter access (archetype core 0.92 in opening hand)
• Searcher density (23 cards) supports recovery
• Extra Deck has high-ATK closers across several summon types

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Semi-Limited cards over the copy limit
• Thin archetype purity (14.3% exact name, 60 off-archetype copies)
• No side deck
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling is unmeasured
• Several one-copy Limited cards are critical

Critical choke points

• Fairy Tail monster on the field is needed for most Fusion/Link lines
• Single copies of Fairy Tail Snow, Instant Fusion and Harpie's Feather Duster are each a single point of failure
• Super Polymerization and Ash Blossom each must be cut to 2 copies before the list is legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2; Main deck 55 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards, both within size rules; Limited banlist cards are at 1 copy each
• Observed: Usage stats: archetype core present at 61.9% of standard core
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (0.25 per 3-copy card, 0.92 archetype core, 0.72 hand trap going second); Interaction density from card text (10 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards, 24 removal-text cards); Brick risk from 60 off-archetype copies and 17 tech cards
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament or matchup data); Side deck adaptability (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, or brick rate Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null, and the side deck is empty
