Magistus Deck #772144 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 49 / Extra 23 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large boss monsters (Dracotail Arthalion, Invoked Oceanus/Elysium/Aeon, Magistus Verethragna) from the Extra Deck via Aleister, Dracotail and Invoked fusion routes; Negate and hand-trap the opponent's interaction, then convert the board with Fusion/Synchro/Link follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dracotail or Magistus starter, search a second starter with Lukias, Lukias-style or Crowley/Zoroa searchers, then Fusion Summon a boss using Invocation, Ketu or Rahu Dracotail
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister and Ghost Mourner to protect the first starter, then rebuild through Dracotail recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Dracotail Urgula, Dracotail Sting and Dracotail Flame recover Dracotail monsters and spells from the GY or banishment; Mulcharmy cards refill the hand
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably reaches a searcher-driven start: P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.88, and the archetype core is present in about 74% of opening hands (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from a large fusion-boss Extra Deck (Arthalion 3000 ATK, Aeon 3800 ATK, Elysium 3200 ATK) backed by roughly 12 negation or hand-trap effects, which gives it real endboard and interaction density. The median output is not evidenced: there are no recorded boards, so the floor is text-only inference and is scored conservatively. Structural power is about 58 before the legality cap; the deck is Illegal (Super Polymerization at 3 copies against a limit of 2, and 23 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15), so the final score is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical. Popularity (usage stats show Magistus core cards at 55-87% inclusion) confirms the list is real, but it did not add points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: legality_illegal (-12); illegal_cap (-26). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 56; modifier -12 for Illegal legality; capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal and is evaluated as theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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

• Searcher density: 16 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand
• Boss ceiling: Arthalion, Aeon, Elysium and Oceanus all reach 3000+ ATK
• Interaction: 12 negation-text cards and 8 hand traps cover the first disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Super Polymerization over the copy limit and Extra Deck over 15 cards
• No Side Deck (0 cards) gives no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (15.3% exact name); 61 of 72 archetype copies are off-exact
• One unresolved passcode (86120751) is counted as a Main Deck card

Critical choke points

• Single Super Polymerization copy count breaks legality as built
• Extra Deck of 23 cannot be legally submitted; the boss plan depends on Extra access that is currently illegal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Super Polymerization 3 copies vs limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck 23 vs maximum 15; Main Deck 49 within 40-60; Side Deck 0; Card stats and banlist status for all resolved cards (e.g., Arthalion 3000 ATK, Aeon 3800 ATK); Archetype usage: Crowley 86.5%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 83.8%, Zoroa Verethragna 75.7% (core present 6 of 10)
• Observed: Composition counts: 16 searchers, 12 negation, 18 removal-text, 8 hand traps (from role tags)
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher-text card in 5-card hand) = 0.876; Archetype core in 5-card hand = 0.737; hand-trap in 6-card hand (going second) = 0.679; Structural dimension scores from text-only reads of starters, bosses, and interaction; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament link, no dated metagame); Meta Power (null; no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos supplied; median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent One passcode (86120751) in CardIDList could not be resolved No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
