Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Ritual Summon Shinobaron/Shinobaroness Peacock via Shinobird's Calling, then use the 2500-3000 ATK bodies and their bounce or Spirit-recursion effects to take the board.; Link and Xyz bosses from the Extra Deck (Accesscode Talker, Underworld Goddess, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Ragnazero) once the board is stabilised.
  • Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 search and set up with Manju or Stars Align into a Ritual Spell; Turn 2 Ritual Summon a Peacock if the Spirit/Ritual material is present. Hand traps are held for the opponent's first response.
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Evenly Matched) to slow the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the board through a Ritual or a Link/Xyz boss.
  • Recovery: Spirit monsters return to hand and can be replayed; Shinobird Power Spot and the Peacock search effects refill resources.
  • After siding: Not evaluable: the list runs no side deck (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in its format: three Forbidden cards are run and seven cards exceed their copy limits, so it cannot receive a normal contextual score and this evaluation is structural-only. Its engine is a Shinobird Ritual line (Shinobird's Calling into the Peacock bodies) that is only 12.9% exact-name archetype purity, so the 55-card main is largely generic tech and hand traps rather than a coherent engine. Searcher density (23 text-tagged cards, about 0.94 chance of at least one in a five-card hand) and ten hand traps give it real interaction and recovery, which is where the points come from (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates and card text). No recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and the floor is scored low. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage core is present at only 4%, and the points were not earned by averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 45 P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) is about 0.94 and P(at least one Shinobird's Calling) is about 0.25; the Ritual line is live but fragile (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 40 Many generic hand-only cards and a 55-card main with 29 distinct cards; the usage core is only 4% present, so brick risk is high (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 35 Peacock ritual bodies have a strong on-summon bounce or Special Summon text, but no combos were supplied (Inferred from card text)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 25 No parseable recorded boards, so the median output cannot be measured and is scored low (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 50 Ten hand traps and several independent interruption routes support recovery after one disruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Spirit recursion and Power Spot give some refuel, but spend is high on Ritual and Link costs (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 65 Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator, Dark Ruler No More and Infinite Impermanence give layered interaction, though three of these are limited or Forbidden in-format (Verified card text, Inferred quality)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Hand traps reach about 0.72 at least one in a six-card hand going second, but board-breaking depends on a Forbidden card (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 50 Shinobaron Peacock (3000 ATK) and Shinobaroness Peacock (2500 ATK) are real bosses, but no closing data exists (Verified stats, Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 Main deck mixes off-archetype staples, tech and hand traps with 12.9% exact archetype purity, lowering coherence (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 Extra Deck has 9 Link and 6 Xyz across several sub-archetypes, with one Forbidden Link and one Forbidden Xyz that cannot be run (Verified)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 15 No side deck (side count 0), so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed and is scored at the floor (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 35 No tournament link or dated meta sample exists, so matchup fit is provisional and kept near neutral (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 35 Ritual, Link and Xyz steps plus several hand-trap timing decisions raise error exposure (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); copy-limit overage (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck, structural-only: 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 42.2, plus modifiers (-12) = 30.2, then capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal. Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

  • Ten hand traps and dense searchers give consistent interaction and card access
  • Two high-ATK Shinobird Peacock bosses reachable through a Ritual Spell
  • Layered end-board interaction (Heavy Storm, Feather Duster, Crossout Designator, Dark Ruler No More)

Weaknesses

  • Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards and four copy-limit overages
  • Low archetype purity (12.9%) so the engine is diluted by generic tech
  • No recorded combos or usage-core cards present, so the floor and median are unknown
  • No side deck

Critical choke points

  • Shinobird's Calling is the only Ritual Spell path to the Peacock bosses; with three copies the line stalls when it is not in hand
  • Forbidden cards removal is required before the list can be legal
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Called by the Grave (2), Cross-Sheep (1), Number 41: Bagooska (1) Legal substitutes from the same sub-archetype or generic hand traps within the Limited and Forbidden limits Removes the Forbidden exposure that makes the deck illegal; required before any normal score
2 Two copies of Pre-Preparation of Rites, one Maxx C, one Seventh Tachyon, one Ash Blossom One copy each of the Limited/Semi-Limited cards, with the difference in Shinobird or hand-trap cards Brings the copy counts within limits and raises archetype purity
3 Off-archetype tech cards with low synergy Shinobird Spirit monsters or Ritual Spells that search the Peacock bodies Raises archetype purity and the Ritual engine's consistency

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal status: 7 copy-limit violations and 3 Forbidden cards; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side 0; Archetype purity 12.9%; usage core present 4%
  • Inferred: Opening-hand estimates for searcher, hand trap and archetype-core groups; Interaction quality read from card text; Consistency and brick rate
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
  • 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; going-first and going-second splits are inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck: post-side behaviour cannot be assessed
