Charmer Deck #774229 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck bosses (Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon 3000 ATK, Borreload Savage Dragon 3000 ATK, Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna 2900 ATK, Dark Magician of Destruction 2800 ATK) reached through Charmer, Magistus and Dark Magician bodies (Inferred from card text); Charmers of the Grand Circle fusion (1850 ATK, 2 copies) and attribute-conditional flip control steals from Dharc, Wynn, Aussa, Lyna and Eria
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Spellbook or Shining Sarcophagus enabler (Spellbook of Secrets, Future Silence, Shining Sarcophagus), add Charmers with Spellbook of the Grand Circle, set and flip control monsters, then fuse or link
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6 hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll & Lock Bird x2, Maxx C) to break the opponent's first board, then convert with flip steals and Forbidden Droplet
• Recovery: Recur from GY and banishment: Spellbook of the Grand Circle and Charmers of the Grand Circle can be used from GY/banish, and searchers re-fetch Spellbook and Shining Sarcophagus pieces
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens functional most of the time because 20 searcher-text cards almost always put a starter in hand (P of at least one searcher in the opening 5 is about 0.98), and that consistency carries most of the score. It converts through several routes at once (Charmer flip control steals, Spellbook-to-Charmer fusion, Dark Magician and Shining Sarcophagus searches, and 14 distinct Extra Deck cards) rather than through one combo. Its 6 hand traps give it going-second interaction, but several engines compete for the same hand and the deck runs no side deck, so adaptation and error tolerance score low. No recorded boards or tournament data exist, so median output, floor and matchup fit are inferred or provisional. Popularity and archetype share did not earn points, and no individual card scores were averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61.5, Going First ≈ 67, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); searcher density (3); single-copy enabler chain (-2); weak post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers(-5) (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.69 · 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

• 20 searcher-text cards make a starter in hand almost every game
• Five attribute-conditional flip control steals plus Possessed Partnerships and Forbidden Droplet give layered interaction
• Six hand traps (Ash Blossom x3, Droll & Lock Bird x2, Maxx C) give going-second answers
• 14 distinct Extra Deck cards with a summon route for each, including several 2800 to 3000 ATK bosses
• Recursion from GY and banishment through Spellbook of the Grand Circle and Charmers of the Grand Circle

Weaknesses

• Several engines (Spellbook, Charmer, Dark Magician / Shining Sarcophagus, Magistus, Endymion) compete for hand space
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (16.4%), with the deck spread across about 9 related sub-archetypes
• Single-copy enablers for key lines (Lyna the Light Charmer, Crowley the Gifted Magistus, Invoked Caliga)
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Lyna the Light Charmer is one copy and gates Familiar-Possessed Lyna
• Crowley the Gifted Magistus is the only Aleister stand-in for Invoked Caliga
• Going-first hands with no Spellbook-line card (about 31%) need the searchers to find a route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in Master Duel; 3 Limited/Semi-Limited cards within copy limits; Copy histogram and Main/Extra counts; Extra Deck breakdown (8 Fusion, 6 Link, 1 Synchro); Card text for all distinct cards; Usage stats: Charmer core present in this deck
• Observed: Usage-statistics inclusion percentages for Charmer-archetype cards
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities from hypergeometric draws; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Engine-conflict and choke-point analysis; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta sample); Meta Power (null)
• 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, matchup and brick rates are inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage statistics flag Extra Deck cards (Charmers of the Grand Circle, Invoked Caliga, Borreload, Endymion and others) as in this deck:false even though they are in the Extra Deck, so core-card presence (48) is likely understated Side deck is empty, so the post-side score rests on structure only
