Witchcrafter Deck #775148 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Witchcrafter Madame Rilliona (3800 ATK Fusion) and Witchcrafter Vice-Madame (2700 ATK Fusion) backed by Witchcrafter recursion and searchers (Inferred); Endymion and Magistus Link/Fusion value through Verre, Genni and Selene sub-archetype pieces (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Witchcrafter starter (Madame Verre, Genni, Seed, Terracottan) and search or recycle through Walpurgis, Creation and Lacrima of Light; hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activation (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with 11 hand traps and Solemn Warning/Judgment to answer the opponent's Summon or activation, then rebuild a Witchcrafter board from the GY (Inferred)
• Recovery: Witchcrafter Genni, Schmietta and Pittore revive or recycle GY Spellcasters and Spells; Terracottan and Haine add board after a broken hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is accessible: the Witchcrafter core (26 copies) gives a 0.966 hypergeometric chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 17 searcher-text cards support a repeatable start (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part of the structure: 11 hand traps, 17 negation-text cards and 24 removal-text cards cover both going-first and going-second turns (Inferred from card text). Combo conversion and floor/median output could not be measured because the export has no parseable boards, so those scores rest on text inference only and are kept near the middle. The deck is an Illegal list (four Forbidden cards over the copy limit, and the Forbidden Charmer, Cross-Sheep, Protectcode and Red-Eyes cards are in the Extra Deck), so it receives a capped theoretical score rather than a normal contextual score. Popularity and archetype usage did not add points, and the score was not produced by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun traits (hand traps, interaction) are present but not weighted separately. Structural ≈ 58.6, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal-list cap: 0.80*58.6 + 0.20*55 = 57.9; minus banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 45.9; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal, so this is a theoretical/structural-only score (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High starter density from a 26-copy archetype core (Inferred)
• 11 hand traps plus 17 negation-text cards give interaction on both turns (Inferred)
• Recursion through Genni, Schmietta, Pittore and Haine supports a rebuild (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four Forbidden cards run over the limit, and four Forbidden pieces are in the Extra Deck (Verified)
• No Side Deck registered, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Three sub-archetypes with only 33% exact-name purity make the engine harder to keep coherent (Verified counts, Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Removing the four Forbidden cards removes the Extra Deck link and fusion routes they support; the replacement must restore a legal Extra Deck route (Inferred)
• Witchcrafter starters that require a discard of a Spell make the engine fragile when Spells are scarce (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 4 Forbidden cards over the limit, status Illegal; Main 55 within OCG size rules 40-60; Extra 15 within 0-15; Banlist counts for Limited and Semi-Limited cards are within their legal copies; Usage stats: Witchcrafter Genni 97%, Droll & Lock Bird 94%
• Inferred: Starter access of 0.966 for the archetype core group; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Going-second hand-trap probability of 0.757; Strategy classification as Midrange with Stun traits
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Meta Power (null); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup rates unknown no Side Deck registered Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
