Magistus Deck #774505 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Invoked boss monsters (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800 ATK, Invoked Oceanus 3000, Zoroa 2900) from the Extra Deck using Aleister-based Fusion material, then close with Fusion pressure; Link and Fusion follow-ups (Endymion, Artemis, Aleister the Invoker of Madness) and Mulcharmy draw-based card advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Aleister or Invocation starter, search and fuse toward a boss, and hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird as interaction. Roughly 25% of 3-copy starters appear in a 5-card opening hand, so the plan depends on the core being drawn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a hand trap (about 84% chance of at least one of 14) to answer the opponent's first Fusion or Special Summon, then rebuild through Aleister and Invocation-type searches.
• Recovery: Searchers (14 searcher-text cards) and Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand after a disruption; Invocation and Magical Meltdown recover Aleister from the GY or banishment.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck would need a side to adapt across best-of-3 games.

Why it scores here

This list is not legal as built: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are each run three times where Semi-Limited allows two, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read and is capped at 35. Its strongest signal is the Fusion and interaction package (Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Oceanus and Zoroa as closers; 14 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards), which gives the deck real end-board pressure when the Aleister engine lands. The engine is not coherent: the exact archetype name covers only 3 of 70 non-generic copies, the list splits across Invoked, Mulcharmy, Aleister, Swamp and Magistus, and only 7 of 25 community core cards are present, so the score comes from the system rather than from any popularity signal. Each dimension was scored on the whole list, not by averaging card scores, and the absence of recorded combos and any tournament or matchup data keeps the consistency and format claims Inferred or Provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo secondary used only for D3/D5 tie-break. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-4); Illegal-deck cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 49.8; context modifiers -12 gives 37.8; illegal-deck cap applied at 35 (theoretical/structural only)

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

• Fusion boss ceiling: Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Oceanus and Zoroa provide ATK and removal-style effects
• Dense interaction: 14 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards plus Solemn Judgment
• Card flow: 14 searcher-text cards and Mulcharmy draw effects

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed Semi-Limited copy limits
• Engine coherence is low: 4.3% exact-archetype purity across several sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Low probability of opening a starter (about 25% per 3-copy card going first)

Critical choke points

• The Aleister precondition gates most Invoked Fusion summons; without it, the Fusion Extra Deck is mostly dead
• Going first, a single hand trap or starter is about 25% likely per copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations: Ash Blossom x3 (limit 2), Super Polymerization x3 (limit 2); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within TCG size rules; Exact-archetype purity 4.3% (3 of 70 non-generic copies); 7 of 25 community core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter odds from hypergeometric draw table; Interaction density from card-text negation flags; Going-second hand-trap access of about 84%
• Provisional: Meta fit (D13) and Meta Power; no dated metagame sample supplied
• Data gaps: No recorded combos; floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta share and pilot match record absent One passcode (86120751) unresolved and counted as main No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, or brick rates Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
