Witchcrafter Deck #775171 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• 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: Large Extra Deck boss or Fusion/Link end-board (Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna, Aiwass, Mudragon, Magistus Chorozo) after a hand-trap-protected starter, but no recorded boards confirm it; Fairy Tail and Endymion Link/Fusion pressure through Searcher-driven card advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Searcher or Special Summon starter (Fairy Tail Ball, Mulcharmy, Spenta, Luna), search the engine piece, and hold Droll and Ash Blossom as interaction; the Forbidden Extra Deck card is not part of any legal line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) against the opponent's first summon, then convert through a Magistus or Endymion Link
• Recovery: Recover through Searchers (17 copies) and Spell/Trap negations; recursion depends on the GY-based Magistus and Fairy Tail cards in the text
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (Side count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck can open a starter in its opening hand only about a quarter of the time per three-copy card (0.25 at least one in five cards), and the archetype-core group reaches the opening hand about 69% of the time. It spreads across five engines (Fairy Tail, Magistus, Endymion, Mulcharmy, and Witchcrafter) with an exact-archetype purity of only 1.4%, so engine coherence is weak. Interaction is the strongest part: about 21 negation-text cards, 11 hand traps, and three copies of Solemn Warning and Ash Blossom give it layered protection on the system. Combo output has no recorded boards, so conversion and median scores are text-only inferences and carry low confidence. The score is not earned by archetype popularity, and card scores were not averaged. The deck is Illegal because Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Borreload Savage Dragon are Forbidden and run at one copy each, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Midrange secondary (structural only, 80/20 blend not applied because the deck is Illegal). Structural ≈ 49.5, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal cap (-7.5). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural-only score. Structural 49.5 with banlist exposure modifier -12 gives 37.5, then capped to 30 under the Illegal rule. Normal 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability was not applied.

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

• Layered negation and hand-trap interaction (about 21 negation-text cards, 11 hand traps)
• Searcher density (17 cards) supports consistent card access
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Zoroa the Magistus Verethragna 2900 ATK, Aiwass, Magistus Chorozo)

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden cards in the Extra Deck and Main Deck make the list illegal
• Five engines with 1.4% exact-archetype purity dilute engine coherence
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos or win data, so conversion is unverified

Critical choke points

• Starter access: only about 25% per three-copy card in the opening five
• Forbidden Extra Deck card removal is required before any legal evaluation applies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are inside the OCG size rules; Charmer Quartet in Bloom and Borreload Savage Dragon are Forbidden and run at one copy each; Archetype purity is 1.4% with 69 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (hypergeometric); Hand-trap coverage (hypergeometric); Interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going first or second, matchups, or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck is recorded
