Magistus Deck #772019 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boards built from Magistus, Endymion and Fairy Tail engines, closing through Red-Eyes Black Dragon Exceed, Hyperinvoked Aeon and Invoked De Anima (theoretical, text-based read); Toolbox of hand traps and negations (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Solemn Judgment) to protect single-card starters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Spellcaster starter (Dark Time Wizard, Fairy Tail Ball, Aleister) to search Magistus or Endymion pieces, then Fusion or Link Summon from the Extra Deck. Starter odds are low: about 25% for any 3-copy card in a 5-card hand.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Regulus. Hand-trap access is about 72% in a 6-card hand.
• Recovery: Searchers (about 94% in a 5-card hand) and graveyard-revival effects (Fairy Tail - Matchgiru, Spenta) rebuild a starter after a disruption. No recorded lines confirm this.
• After siding: None. The deck runs zero side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan. The list is also over the copy limit in two cards.

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are each run three times against an OCG limit of two, so it is scored as theoretical, structural-only and capped low. Its consistency is weak. The archetype core is present in about 72% of 5-card openers, but any single 3-copy starter appears only about 25% of the time, and the 31 distinct Main Deck cards span roughly a dozen sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 11.4%). Interaction is dense (10 hand traps, 18 negation texts, 24 removal texts), which supports the endboard and going-second dimensions. The deck has no combo recordings, so ceiling and median are text-only inference, and the Extra Deck closers are strong on paper. Popularity was not credited and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from the structural read minus the legality and no-side-deck modifiers.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary; Toolbox noted as secondary but not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-8); Weak post-side plan (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; illegal list, so theoretical only and capped low

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.28 (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 about 18 negation texts
• High searcher density, so the deck usually finds a starter
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Hyperinvoked Aeon, Red-Eyes Exceed, Invoked De Anima)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two cards over the copy limit
• Low archetype purity (11.4%); engines from three sub-archetypes compete for slots
• No side deck and no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Starter access is about 25% per 3-copy card in an opener
• Single-card Fusion and Link starters have no redundant route
• Two over-limit Semi-Limited cards would be removed or reduced when the list is legalised

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality is Illegal: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a limit of 2 (OCG); Main Deck is 55 cards and Extra Deck is 15, both within size rules; zero side cards; Archetype purity is 11.4% (8 exact copies, 62 off-archetype)
• Inferred: Starter access about 25% per 3-copy card in a 5-card opener; Archetype core in a 5-card opener about 72%; Hand-trap access about 72% in a 6-card hand; Interaction density from text hints (10 hand traps, 18 negation texts, 24 removal texts)
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and 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 record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides attached for this archetype
