Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Endymion Link and Magistus Fusion/Link boards built from Regulus, Mulcharmy and Fairy Tail engine pieces, closing with high-ATK Extra Deck monsters (Verethragna 2900, A Bao A Qu 2800, Summon Sorceress 2400); Mulcharmy draw-and-end-phase advantage plus Fairy Tail recursion, grinding through interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Regulus, Spell Power Mastery, Mulcharmy or Verre) and search Endymion pieces with Instant Fusion, Endymion Empire or Witchcrafter Genni, then build a Link or Fusion board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 12 hand traps and negations (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first board, then convert through Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draws on the opponent's summons, Fairy Tail recursion from GY and banishment, and Regulus revival recover cards after a disruption
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an Endymion or Magistus starter: the archetype core is present in about 98% of opening 5-card hands (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), and the Regulus, Spell Power Mastery and Mulcharmy searchers add redundancy. Its interaction package is the strongest part of the system: 12 hand traps and negations, three Ash Blossoms, Solemn cards and Typhoon give it a real going-second plan, and the going-second hand-trap probability is about 80%. Conversion and recovery are plausible but unmeasured, because no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are both text-based inference. The list is over the copy limit (three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of two), so the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only value. Popularity and the archetype's usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but they added no points, and the score comes from consistency, interaction and conversion on the system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: copy_limit_violation (-12). Final formula: Illegal (copy-limit violation): theoretical/structural-only. Pre-cap 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-12) = about 46, capped at 30. Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Archetype core is present in about 98% of opening hands, so the engine is accessible on the first turn
• Broad interaction: 12 hand traps and negations, three Ash Blossoms, Solemn cards and Typhoon
• Strong going-second plan through hand traps and Extra Deck board conversion
• Multiple independent starters and Fairy Tail or Regulus recursion for route redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: three Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of two
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Heavy hand-trap and conditional-card load creates brick and dead-hand risk
• Complex multi-step lines across Magistus, Fairy Tail and Endymion lower pilotability

Critical choke points

• The Endymion or Magistus Link chain depends on a small set of starters (Regulus, Verre, Spell Power Mastery)
• Three Ash Blossoms are over the copy limit, so the deck cannot be played as listed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 54 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies exceeds its Semi-Limited limit of 2 (illegal); The Side Deck is empty (0 cards); Archetype core presence and card-text role tags come from the evidence pack
• Observed: Usage statistics confirm the Endymion core is standard in this archetype (inclusion 100% for several core cards)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates from hypergeometric probabilities; Combo ceiling and conversion read from card text, since no boards are recorded; Going-second hand-trap coverage and interaction quality
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample is supplied
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Unknown or Inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample The deck is illegal (copy limit), so the score is a structural-only cap rather than a normal final score
