Witchcrafter Deck #774936 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Witchcrafter Fusion and Link boards (Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona 3800 ATK, Witchcrafter Vice-Madame 2700 ATK, Zoroa 2900 ATK) reached through searcher chains; Magistus and Endymion Link/Fusion boards that reuse Spellcaster and Witchcrafter bodies from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Witchcrafter searcher or Verre/Genni starter, search a Witchcrafter body, then convert through Witchcrafter Creation, Walpurgis or Celebration into a Fusion or Link summon (theoretical, from card text only)
• Turn 2 (going second): No hand traps and no floodgates in the list; the going-second plan relies on Witchcrafter Distortion and Witchcrafter Haine to answer the opponent's board (theoretical)
• Recovery: Spells in the GY (Witchcrafter Creation, Celebration, Holiday) and Spellcaster GY recursion (Witchcrafter Schmietta, Edel, Genni, Pittore) rebuild the starter pool (text-based, Inferred)
• After siding: None. The deck has 0 side cards, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG: Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are Forbidden and each is run once, and the deck has no side deck. Structurally, the Witchcrafter core is dense (23 copies, roughly 99% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) and 22 searcher-text cards give it a strong ability to find a starter. Its Fusion and Link bosses and GY recursion give it resource depth and closing power on paper. Interaction is mostly removal-text and conditional negation (Distortion, Haine, Madame Verre), with no hand traps, which weakens going-second play. No combos were supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only and not measured. The score is capped because the deck is illegal, and it was not derived from averaging card scores or from archetype popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural only); Meta Power provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very dense Witchcrafter core with heavy searcher text, so a starter is almost always reachable
• Strong Fusion and Link closers on the Extra Deck (Madame Rilliona, Vice-Madame, Zoroa)
• Recursion from the GY through Spellcaster and Spell bodies gives resource depth

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards are in the main deck
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan and no matchup adjustment
• No hand traps and no floodgates, which weakens going-second play
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Witchcrafter monsters as Fusion and Link material; losing the Spellcaster bodies to removal stops the Extra Deck plan
• Forbidden Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are Extra Deck cards and must be removed to make the deck legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are Forbidden in OCG and run once each; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0; size rules satisfied; Archetype core probability and searcher-text counts from the evidence pack
• Inferred: Starter reliability (~0.99 for the core group in a 5-card hand); Going-second weakness from the absence of hand traps; Resource recursion from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated meta sample); Matchup fit (no tournament or meta-share data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link; meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred No side deck; post-side performance cannot be assessed Deck title is null
