Crystal Beast Deck #705687 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive and Rainbow Dragon (Inferred: Special Summon via 7 different-name Crystal Beast cards in the Spell & Trap Zone or GY); Xyz and Synchro boards from Crystal Beast monsters placed as Continuous Spells, plus Gigantic Sargas and Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy as board-breakers (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Crystal Bond or Rainbow Bridge to fetch a Crystal Beast, Sapphire Pegasus or Ruby Carbuncle to place Crystal Beast monsters into the S&T Zone, building toward Awakening of the Crystal Ultimates and Rainbow Dragon (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Nibiru or Crystal Miracle to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Rainbow Bridge of Salvation and Crystal Tree recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from the S&T Zone (Cobalt Eagle, Emerald Tortoise, Amber Mammoth, Topaz Tiger) and Crystal Beast searchers from the Deck (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists (Provisional)

Why it scores here

The Crystal Beast core is reasonably accessible: about 88% of hands from the 15-copy core group contain at least one card, and 17 searcher-text cards lift the odds of a playable starter. The ceiling is high on text alone, since Awakening of the Crystal Ultimates, Rainbow Dragon and Ultimate Crystal Rainbow Dragon Overdrive can close the game from one engine line. The median is much weaker because the list mixes Crystal, Rainbow Bridge, Therion, Springans, DoomZ and Rose Dragon engines, which lowers brick tolerance and conversion. The interaction suite (Nibiru, Crystal Miracle, Ashura King, Hope Harbinger, Felgrand) earns credit for breadth, but the deck has no side plan and the list is Illegal, so the final score is capped. No combo boards, tournament results, or guides were supplied, so the score rests on text and probability inference. Popularity and archetype usage did not add points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55.8, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-4); extra_deck_over_limit_and_copy_overrun (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55.8) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 53.0; context modifiers -12 gives 41; Illegal cap applied, final 35 (theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine is accessible in most opening hands (about 88% for the 15-copy core)
• Dense searcher text (17 cards) supports consistency
• High closing-power ceiling from 4000 ATK Dragons
• Layered negation and removal text across Main and Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards and a Semi-Limited copy overrun
• Extra Deck over the 15-card limit
• Multiple competing engines lower the median and raise brick risk
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• No combo, tournament or guide evidence

Critical choke points

• Crystal Beast monsters being placed in the S&T Zone, which every Ultimate Crystal line depends on
• Rainbow Bridge / Crystal Bond as the only searchers for the key Crystal Beast monsters
• Foolish Burial Goods copy count is illegal, so the legal build cannot run all three

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: Forbidden Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon and Number 60 run in the Extra Deck; Foolish Burial Goods run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Extra Deck has 18 cards against a 15 cap; Main Deck is 45 cards; Side Deck is 0; Card text and stats for all listed cards
• Observed: Archetype usage: 9 of 16 core cards present (56.2%)
• Inferred: P(>=1 core card in opening 5) = 0.88 and P(>=1 Crystal Bond in opening 5) = 0.30; Engine ceiling from card text, not recorded boards; Interaction quality from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No recorded combo boards, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, or brick and starter rates No side deck, so post-side performance is unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Guides count is 0
