Witchcrafter Deck #773317 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Endymion/Regulus board presence backed by high-ATK Extra Deck attackers (Number C104: Umbral Horror Masquerade Victory 3000 ATK, Number C32: Shark Drake LeVeiss 3100 ATK, Super Starslayer TY-PHON 2900 ATK, Number 104: Masquerade V 2700 ATK); Fairy Tail monster beatdown (Fairy Tail Ball, Fairy Tail - Luna, Fairy Tail - Matchgiru, Fairy Tail - Snow) and Endymion Link/Fusion pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a searcher (Spell Power Mastery, Endymion Empire, Verre, Regulus, Genia of the Ring, Fairy Tail Ball) to fetch Endymion or Fairy Tail pieces, holding Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom and Evenly Matched for the opponent's first play.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (16 copies, P(at least one) ≈ 0.89) to stop the opponent's first summon or spell, then follow with Gameciel, Forbidden Crown or Cosmic Cyclone to clear the board.
• Recovery: Recycle through searchers and Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw triggers, then rebuild a Link or Xyz boss from Extra Deck material (Endymion, Selene, Artemis, Wiccat, C32).
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; this is a structural gap.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reasonably often: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.91 and P(at least one Regulus in 5 cards) ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy card, so a Regulus-led starter is live on the first turn in roughly one game in four, with searchers doing the rest. Conversion depends on the Extra Deck: several 2800–3100 ATK Xyz and Link bosses give the deck a closing threat, but there are no recorded boards, so its real conversion rate is unknown. Interaction is the strongest part of the system (16 hand traps, Forbidden Crown, Cosmic Cyclone, Gameciel), which earns credit mainly on the going-second side (P(at least one hand trap in 6 cards) ≈ 0.89). The score is not from the popularity of the Witchcrafter name (exact-name purity is 1.4%; the real shell is Endymion/Fairy Tail/Mulcharmy), and card scores were not averaged. The empty side deck and conflicting engines hold the deck back.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used for the structural score; Toolbox noted as secondary for the interaction-heavy mix, without a separate blend. Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-3); No side deck (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample) = 0.80*58.5 + 0.20*50 - 6 ≈ 51

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• 16 hand traps and 0 floodgates give very high going-second interaction
• Searcher density (≈ 0.91 in 5 cards) makes most opening hands progress
• Multiple 2700–3100 ATK Extra Deck bosses provide a closing threat
• Legal list with all Limited cards at the 1-copy limit

Weaknesses

• Engines are split across Endymion, Fairy Tail, Mulcharmy, Kaiju and Forbidden, with little shared support
• Exact-name archetype purity is 1.4%
• No side deck, so no post-side adjustment is possible
• Many hand traps are dead without an opposing play

Critical choke points

• Regulus or Endymion Link as the main Endymion starter (only ≈ 25% per 5-card hand for each 3-copy card)
• Single-copy Extra Deck bosses (C32, Endymion, Selene, Masquerade V) with specific material requirements

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules (main 40–60, extra 0–15, side 0–15); All Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are at or under the legal limit; Composition counts (26 distinct Main, 13 distinct Extra; 16 hand traps; 20 searchers); Side deck is empty
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap probabilities (0.2529, 0.9067, 0.8875); Strategy classification as Midrange with Toolbox/Stun secondaries; Interaction quality and resilience reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit (archetype share unavailable)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going first/second, matchup, brick rate) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics mark Endymion, the Crescent Magistus (20714553), Selene (45819647) and Magistus Chorozo (66532962) as not in this deck, but the card list contains each at 1 copy in zone extra; the usage matching appears to skip the Extra Deck, so core-card presence (24) likely undercounts No side deck entries, so no post-side data
