Magistus Deck #772086 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Magistus Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link boss monsters (Zoroa Verethragna 2900 ATK, Vahram 2500 ATK, Zoroa Conflagrant Calamity 2900 ATK) converted from searched Magistus starters; Endymion Link and Regulus beatdown routes, plus Fairy Tail Fusion and Xyz pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Magistus or Endymion starter with Crowley, Genia or Regulus, then extend into an Extra Deck boss while Ash Blossom and Droll protect the first line
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Ghost Ogre and Forbidden Droplet for the opponent's first summon or search, then use Forbidden Crown or Solemn Judgment to clear the board before deploying a boss
• Recovery: Recover through Spenta and Verre Magic GY effects, Fairy Tail Ball and Endymion Empire searches, and Ninaruru or Zoroa banish or re-summon lines
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Magistus or Endymion starter: about 0.78 probability of at least one core-archetype card in a going-first 5-card opening hand, and about 0.86 probability of at least one of its 17 searcher-text cards. Its interaction suite (9 hand-trap cards, 18 negation-text cards, Forbidden Crown, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Accusation) gives it a layered answer to the first summon or search, which carries most of the Structural score. The score is held down by an incoherent main deck: only 14 of 70 non-Extra copies are exact-name Magistus (20% purity), with Fairy Tail, Endymion, Mulcharmy, Forbidden, Solemn, D.D. and Greed all competing for the same slots. There are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are text-only inferences, and the empty Side Deck removes any post-side adaptation. The deck is also Illegal in OCG because Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2, so the score is capped and this is a theoretical, structural-only read. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); empty_side_deck (-2); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: Uncapped = 0.80*57 + 0.20*50 + modifiers(-10) = 45.6; Illegal cap applied, final score 35. Theoretical/structural-only. Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong searcher density and a core-archetype hit rate of about 0.78 in a going-first hand
• Layered interaction: hand traps, negations and Solemn traps answer the first summon or search
• Extra Deck boss threats at 2500 to 2900 ATK with recursion routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal OCG list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit
• Low archetype purity (20%) across eight sub-archetypes weakens engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Mulcharmy draw engines and D.D. Crow do not connect to the Magistus plan

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count: the list cannot be played legally until it is reduced to 2
• Aleister-dependent Invoked Extra Deck monsters have no Aleister in the Main Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are inside the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, which is the only violation; Archetype purity is 20% (14 of 70 non-Extra copies are exact-name Magistus); Side Deck is empty
• Observed: Copy histogram 16/6/9 across 31 distinct Main Deck cards; Core-archetype group inclusion: Crowley 86%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 84%, Droll & Lock Bird 70%
• Inferred: Going-first P(>=1 core-archetype card in 5 cards) = 0.78 and searcher P = 0.86 (hypergeometric); Interaction and negation density supports Midrange with Stun-like going-second play; Boss threats at 2500 to 2900 ATK and recursion routes are reachable through text reads
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; D13 format fit is a neutral placeholder without tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so post-side dimensions cannot be measured
