Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion and Link boss lines (Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Borrel Savage Dragon, Aiwass) backed by Dark Magician Girl and Dark Magician beats; Endymion and Selene link beats off Magistus and Charmer searches
- Turn 1 (going first): Spellbook and Magistus searchers (Spellbook of Secrets, Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, Future Silence, Spenta) to assemble the Magistus or Charmer engine and convert into a Fusion or Link boss
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) and Forbidden Droplet or Crossout Designator to strip the opposing board, then rebuild the engine from searchers
- Recovery: Spellbook searchers and Spenta GY banish recursion refill the hand after a board wipe; Awakening of the Possessed and Charmer flips add board presence
- After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards and Master Duel is Bo1, so there is no post-side plan.
Why it scores here
The deck's reliable opening rests on its searcher density: about 98 percent of 5-card hands contain at least one searcher-text card and about 85 percent contain at least one archetype-core card, so the engine is usually live by turn 2. Its interaction is the strongest part of the system, with 6 hand traps, 9 removal-text and 8 negation-text cards, and redundant routes after an interruption. The Extra Deck offers several boss options (Verethragna, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Borrel, Aiwass) that give real closing power. Scoring is held back by the spread of about 15 sub-archetypes (only about 16 percent of cards are exact Magistus), the weak Future Silence and Shining Sarcophagus link, the lack of any side plan, and the missing combo and tournament data. Popularity did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and boss conversion.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 72 | P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) ~0.98 and P(archetype core in hand) ~0.85; engine live by T2 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 52 | 16 singleton cards and about 53 percent off-archetype copies raise dead-card and conflicting-hand risk; no brick estimate from boards (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No recorded boards; ceiling is a text-based read of Verethragna, Red-Eyes and Borrel line-ups (Inferred, text-only) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 50 | No recorded boards, so median output cannot be measured; provisional mid score (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 66 | Six hand traps plus Forbidden Droplet and Crossout give several independent answers; three engine families give route redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Spellbook searches and Spenta GY banish give recursion; 15 Extra Deck cards are a real resource cost (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 70 | 9 removal-text and 8 negation-text cards at multi-layer density; Crossout and Droplet are Limited or Semi-limited answers (Inferred semantic) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 62 | Verethragna and Red-Eyes negate and remove on the opponent's turn; Crossout and Droplet hit the board; no going-second split data (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 68 | Boss ATK 2900 to 3000 (Verethragna, Red-Eyes, Borrel) with Dark Magician beats; no Dark Magician of Destruction (Verified stats, Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | 40 main cards, 25 distinct, 16 singletons, 53 percent off-archetype copies; size is legal but coherence is mixed (Verified counts, Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 62 | 15 Extra cards with 8 Fusion and 6 Link across many sub-archetypes; limited flex but full use of the Extra slot (Verified counts) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 45 | 0 side cards in a Bo1 format, so no post-side performance exists to read (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 55 | Archetype usage stats show Magistus core at 60 to 80 percent inclusion; no tournament link or dated meta sample (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-engine sequencing (Magistus, Charmer, Spellbook, Endymion) with many decision points and Fusion or Link materials (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 61.4, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); banlist exposure (-1); weak_post_side_plan (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional): 0.80*61.4 + 0.20*56 = 60.3; plus modifiers -5 = 55.3, rounded to 55
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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
- About 98 percent of opening hands contain a searcher
- Six hand traps plus Droll and Maxx C give layered going-second interaction
- Several 2900 to 3000 ATK bosses across the Fusion and Link Extra Deck
Weaknesses
- Off-archetype spread dilutes the engine
- Three Future Silence search a monster that needs Shining Sarcophagus, but the deck runs only one Sarcophagus
- No side plan and no recorded boards
Critical choke points
- Shining Sarcophagus (1 copy) gates the Future Silence and Dark Magician Girl searches
- Extra Deck is at the 15-card cap, so any Extra swap is card-for-card
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Future Silence | 1 Magistus or Artemis-style searcher that does not need Shining Sarcophagus; keep Extra at 15 by swapping one Extra card if needed | Future Silence searches monsters that mention Shining Sarcophagus, but only one Sarcophagus is in the deck, so copies can go dead |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal list: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts within limits; Archetype usage stats: Magistus core inclusion 60 to 80 percent
- Inferred: Engine live probability from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from card text; Off-archetype dilution as a consistency cost
- Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated sample, no tournament link); Post-side adaptability (Bo1, no side)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no guides attached for the archetype
