Fairy Tail Deck #775169 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link/Synchro boards from Fairy Tail and Magistus monsters, closing through 1850-ATK Spellcasters and Magistus fusions (Inferred from card text; no combos supplied); Endymion Link/Fusion boards with Regulus and Verre recursion (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Fairy Tail Ball, Luna or Mulcharmy starters, then Fusion or Link into a Magistus or Fairy Tail board (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use 11 hand traps (Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre and Belle) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild with Fusion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Fairy Tail - Snow and Once Upon a Fairy Tail recursion from GY and banishment, plus Witchcrafter Genni and Regulus draws (Inferred)
• After siding: Not assessable: the main list is 55 cards with no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal: two Forbidden OCG cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Borreload Savage Dragon) are run, so it receives a capped theoretical structural score only. Its structural read rests on starter access (about a 93% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred), 11 hand traps and 21 negation-text cards that give the end board real interaction (D7), and a Fusion/Link Extra Deck that can reach high-ATK boards. Its weak points are archetype coherence (exact-name purity 14.3%, with 60 copies off-archetype across Magistus, Endymion, Mulcharmy and generic cards), a missing Side Deck, and no recorded combos to measure the median output. Popularity did not earn points: the core cards are in use at high inclusion rates, but that only confirms the list is real. The score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and median output, not from averaging the cards' individual scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Toolbox (disclosed; not separately weighted, Midrange profile used for the Structural score). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); limited_card_density (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 - 10 = 37.2, capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only score)

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

• Eleven hand traps and 21 negation-text cards give layered interaction
• Core starters are included at high rates in the archetype (Verified usage stats)
• Fusion/Link Extra Deck has multiple high-ATK endboard options

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden cards make the list illegal in OCG
• Low archetype coherence: exact-name purity 14.3% across four sub-archetypes
• Empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so floor and median output cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on a few 3-copy cards with ~25% per-hand odds
• Fusion and Link materials need specific partners; a dead starter stalls the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Borreload Savage Dragon are Forbidden and run at 1 copy each; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Exact-name purity 14.3%; Side Deck is empty; Copy histogram and Extra breakdown
• Observed: Usage stats: core cards in 90%+ of archetype decks
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (hypergeometric, Main Deck only); Hand-trap and negation density effects on D7; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions; Structural dimension scores D1-D11, D14
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Median output (D4); 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 record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
