Fairy Tail Deck #773316 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fairy Tail 1850-ATK monsters (Luna, Regulus, Genia, Matchgiru, Snow) land on the board and convert through Fusion, Xyz and Link summons into Endymion, Masquerade and Number boss monsters.; Number C104 Masquerade and Number 32 Shark Drake as Xyz bosses; Teller and Weaver of Fairy Tails as Fusion pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Spellcaster or Fairy Tail starter (Fairy Tail Ball, Luna, Regulus, Verre), then extend with Endymion Empire and an Extra Deck summon; hold hand traps for the opponent's first summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) to break the opponent's board, then rebuild from the Deck with the searchers.
• Recovery: Recover from the GY and banishment with Fairy Tail Ball, Once Upon a Fairy Tail and Matchgiru, and re-summon through the Spellcaster-ATK-1850 chain.
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its consistency is decent: about 0.92 probability of at least one core-archetype card in a 5-card opening hand, and about 0.91 of at least one searcher-text card. Its starters are spread across several 3-of Spellcaster monsters, so no single card is a choke point. Interaction is the strongest feature: 16 hand traps and 16 tech or negation effects cover the opponent's first summons and the end board, which lifts going-second strength. The deck converts through Fusion, Xyz and Link summons, but its engine is split across Fairy Tail, Endymion, Magistus, Masquerade and Number, and only about 16 percent of its cards are exact-name Fairy Tail. Popularity was not credited, no combo records exist, and the 0-side deck gives it no post-side plan. Structural and final values use the meta-neutral formula with Meta Power provisional and D13 dropped.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59.2, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-3); Engine fragmentation (-2); Limited-card dependence (-1); Layered interaction (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural excludes D13 and renormalizes to 95)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Good starter access: about 0.92 of openings contain a core-archetype card and about 0.91 contain a searcher.
• Layered interaction across hand traps, negations and removal supports going second.
• Extra Deck has 15 cards covering Fusion, Xyz and Link routes to several bosses.

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so the deck cannot adapt between games.
• Engine is split across several sub-archetypes, with 15.7 percent exact-name purity.
• Many conditional hand traps and tech cards are dead in some opening hands.

Critical choke points

• Fairy Tail Ball and the Luna or Regulus searchers, which carry the going-first engine.
• Single-copy Limited cards (Snow, Instant Fusion, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) that cannot be replaced if removed.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15, side 0-15).; No copy-limit violations: Limited cards run 1 copy and Ash Blossom runs 2 (Semi-Limited).; Extra Deck breakdown is 4 Fusion, 6 Xyz and 5 Link.; Side Deck is empty.
• Observed: Core-archetype inclusion is about 0.92 of openings from usage statistics; 11 of 21 core cards present.
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric values.; Going-first and going-second strength from hand traps and text.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and matchup fit is provisional without a dated metagame sample.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchups, bricks or OTK rates. usage_statistics flags Extra Deck cards (Weaver, Teller, Wiccat, Endymion Crescent Magistus, Selene, Chorozo) as not in deck, but the card list includes them; treated as a data inconsistency. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
