Magistus Deck #772974 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Link engine
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 49 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Magistus Fusion/Link/Synchro boards built from Magistus Spellcaster engine monsters, with Fallen of Albaz and Dogmatika/Albaz Dragon finishers in the Extra Deck; Hand-trap-protected Mulcharmy draw and disruption grind into a Fusion or Link boss
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Magistus or Zoroa engine starter, use Rilliona or Verre Magic to search or recur, then Link or Fusion into a boss while Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle hold up a single answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 11 hand traps (about 80 percent to hold at least one in a 6-card hand) to blank the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw and Magistus searches
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is empty, and Spenta and Rilliona search Magistus monsters from the Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0, so there is no post-side plan in the submitted list

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: three cards run 3 copies against Semi-Limited limits of 2, so it receives the capped structural-only score of 30 rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Consistency is moderate: 17 archetype-core cards give about 0.89 odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, but only 33 percent of the main deck is exact Magistus-name purity, so many hands are carried by off-archetype hand traps and tech cards. Interaction is the strongest system trait, with 11 hand traps, 9 negation texts and 17 removal texts, which gives a good going-second plan. Combo ceiling and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, and no side deck is submitted, so post-side adaptation and matchup fit stay provisional. The score comes from engine coherence, interaction density and turn-order shape taken together, not from Magistus popularity and not from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Illegal: normal formula withheld. Unrounded 0.80*Structural(52)+0.20*TR(40) = ~49 is capped at 30 because of copy-limit violations; theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Core engine accessible on opening hands (about 0.89 for at least one core card)
• Dense interaction: 11 hand traps, 9 negation texts, 17 removal texts
• Multiple Extra Deck boss options at 2900 to 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three cards exceed OCG copy limits
• Low exact-name archetype purity (32.8 percent)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo or tournament data to validate any ceiling

Critical choke points

• Single Magistus starter hands that lack a second route
• Over-limit Super Polymerization and Fallen & Virtuous as the main Fusion enablers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three cards over OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main 49 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Card text for the 11 hand traps and removal set is present in evidence
• Inferred: At least one core card in an opening hand about 0.89; Going-second hand-trap odds about 0.80; Structural score of 52 from the Midrange profile
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Format fit (D13 neutral placeholder)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so meta share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry for this deck no side deck supplied deck title is null
