• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Magistus and Endymion Link/Fusion boards that equip, re-summon and pressure through Crowley, Zoroa, Chorozo, Regulus and Fairy Tail monsters (Inferred from card text); Fairy Tail Fusion and Xyz boards (Teller, Weaver, Wiccat) that use Fairy Tail - Luna and Matchgiru recursion (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Searcher or Normal Summon chain (Fairy Tail Ball, Regulus, Luna) into a Link or Fusion, using Instant Fusion and Endymion Empire for follow-up (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler and Droll to stop the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects (Inferred from text; 92% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is empty, while Witch of the Black Forest and Verre recover searches from the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan and the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3 (Verified from legality data)

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its core Magistus and Endymion engine is well supported: about 95% of openings include at least one core-group card, and the searcher group reaches about 86% in a 5-card hand (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its 18 hand traps and 20 negation-text cards give it a strong interaction layer, especially going second, where about 92% of 6-card hands contain a hand trap. Conversion and floor output could not be measured because no recorded boards exist, so combo scores are text-based only. Popularity and meta share did not earn points; the list is Illegal, so the final score is capped at structural-only levels. The deck runs three copies of Ash Blossom, two of Droll, and one each of Called by the Grave, Secret Village and Charmer Quartet, which breaks the copy and ban limits. Its empty side deck gives no way to adapt across games.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57.7, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); empty_side_deck (0). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural (57.7) + 0.20*TournamentReliability (45) = 55.1 before modifiers; modifiers -12 give 43.1; capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (structural-only, theoretical score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 card groups are highly accessible (about 95% of openings include one)
• Heavy layered interaction: 18 hand traps and 20 negation-text cards
• Compact Extra Deck with 13 distinct Fusion, Link and Xyz cards
• Mulcharmy draw effects and searchers give grind

Weaknesses

• Illegal: copy limits exceeded on 4 cards and 3 Forbidden cards included
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (14.3% exact name) with 60 off-archetype copies
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck dependence on Magistus and Endymion Link and Fusion monsters (Inferred)
• Hand-trap density competes with engine starters in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Forbidden cards must be removed before the deck is legal to play (Verified)
