Legality
Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Ritual Summon Megalith ritual monsters (Notrah Plura, Aratron, Phaleg, Bethor) and link out through Dyna Mondo and Nephthys; Code Igniter and Gallant Granite Xyz boards that bounce off Ritual Monster recursion
- Turn 1 (going first): Search a Ritual Monster with Megalith Anastasis or Preparation of Rites, Ritual Summon via a Megalith tribute, then extend into a Link or Xyz board
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Penciplume or Candoll to special summon a second Impcantation starter, then rebuild through the Ritual Monsters in the graveyard
- Recovery: Ritual Monsters in the graveyard can be added back to hand by the Megalith monsters' recursion effects
- After siding: No side deck was supplied, so no post-side plan can be assessed
Why it scores here
The list is Illegal in OCG: it runs three copies of the Forbidden Cross-Sheep and three copies of the Semi-Limited Pot of Extravagance, so it does not receive a normal contextual score and is capped low. Within the structure the deck does have a real engine: about half of the main deck is Megalith ritual machinery with several searchers, which gives a fair chance of starting a ritual line on turn one (Inferred). The strong recorded examples come from the Megalith ritual board, while Impcantation itself is thin: only 7 of 42 main-deck cards share its exact name, so the coherence is carried by the Megalith sub-archetype. No recorded boards were supplied, so floor and median output are estimated from card text only, and nothing was averaged from individual card scores. Popularity was not credited, and no sideboard or meta sample was available to lift the score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | Searchers reach a Megalith ritual starter in most hands (archetype core P(>=1 in opening 5) ~0.56, Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 42 | Three Pot of Extravagance and several single-copy ritual enablers raise the risk of dead hands (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 55 | Ritual chains into Notrah Plura and Aratron give a high ceiling, but there are no recorded boards to confirm it (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded boards exist, so the usual output is estimated from text only (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 52 | Ritual recursion from the graveyard and two separate starter families give some second lines after disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 58 | Ritual Monsters recycle from the graveyard and searchers are dense, giving good grind (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | Aratron and Notrah Plura negate, and Ritual Buster protects a ritual line; interaction is real but narrow (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Vanity's Ruler stops opponent Special Summons, but the deck lacks broad board breakers when going second (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 55 | Notrah Plura at 3700 ATK and linked Ritual threats close games when the line lands (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 48 | Mostly coherent Megalith core with 27 spell/ritual cards and few tech slots, but Pot of Extravagance is a dead card in this list (Verified) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | Extra Deck uses Code Igniter, Gallant Granite, Dyna Mondo, Nephthys and ASHLAN U1000, but Cross-Sheep is Forbidden (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No side deck was supplied, so post-side adaptability is unknown (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No dated metagame sample exists for this deck; format fit is neutral (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Long ritual sequences with many tribute decisions raise the pilot skill needed (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); hard_garnet_burden (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal-list modifier; Illegal decks receive a capped structural-only score
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.44 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Dense searchers give a high chance of reaching the ritual core
- Ritual Monsters recur from the graveyard, so the deck can rebuild after a failed line
- Extra Deck has real link and Xyz coverage with several Link-3 and Link-2 options
Weaknesses
- The list is Illegal as built: Cross-Sheep is Forbidden and Pot of Extravagance exceeds its limit
- Only seven cards share the exact Impcantation name, so the archetype label overstates the engine coherence
- No sideboard, so post-side plans cannot be assessed
Critical choke points
- Megalith ritual starters are a single-family dependency; if the core is not in hand, the deck has few alternative openers
- Ritual Monsters require a tribute from hand or field, so an early board wipe stops the line
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cross-Sheep (3 copies) | A legal Link monster of the same role, or one of the Ritual Monsters already in the deck | Cross-Sheep is Forbidden in OCG, so the deck cannot be played legally as built |
| 2 | One copy of Pot of Extravagance | A searcher or Megalith starter | Pot of Extravagance is Semi-Limited and exceeds its legal limit of two copies |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main Deck of 42 and Extra Deck of 15 are within the OCG size rules; Cross-Sheep is Forbidden in OCG and run three times; Pot of Extravagance is Semi-Limited and run three times; Megalith is the largest sub-archetype with 24 copies
- Inferred: Ritual searchers give a high chance of reaching a starter in the opening hand; Ritual recursion supports a second line after disruption; Interaction density is moderate and concentrated in negation effects
- Provisional: Format fit and matchup coverage, because no dated meta sample was supplied
- Data gaps: No recorded boards exist, so ceiling and median output are text-only estimates No tournament link, so there is no archetype meta-share or pilot record No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck No side deck was supplied, so post-side plans are unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
