Ritual Beast Deck #756136 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• 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: Extra Deck banish-summons of Ritual Beast Ulti monsters (Gaiapelio 3200, Apelio 2600, Reirautari 2600, Nochiudrago 2400) that swing the board; Interaction-heavy grind: hand traps and the Solemn trio protect the Ulti line
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Tamer Elder or Spiritual Beast Tamer Lara, add a Tamer and Spiritual Beast pair, then banish-summon an Ulti monster (Inferred from text, untested)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Maxx C, Droll and the Solemn trio for the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert with an Ulti summon (Inferred)
• Recovery: Banished Ritual Beast cards return through Tamer Wen and the Ulti Reirautari and Kimunfalcos effects; Pettlephin bounces an opposing card (Inferred from text)
• After siding: No side deck in the export (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal because Cross-Sheep and Knightmare Gryphon are Forbidden in the OCG list, so this is a structural read only and the final number is capped at 30. Structurally the deck has a real Extra Deck engine: the Tamer and Spiritual Beast enablers (3 copies each of the key names) feed banish-summons of 2600 to 3200 ATK Ulti monsters, and nine hand traps plus the Solemn trio give layered interaction. The weak points are systemic: Mulcharmy's empty-field condition fights the board-filling engine, Anti-Spell Fragrance and Heavy Storm hit the deck's own Spells and Traps, and there is no side deck and no recorded boards to measure median output. The archetype's usage stats confirm the list is real but added no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden in Extra Deck) (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: No normal Final for an Illegal list: 0.80*56 + 0.20*45 = 53.8, then modifiers -12 = 41.8, capped to 30 (theoretical/structural only)

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

• Ulti Extra Deck line has 12 distinct routes and 2400 to 3200 ATK closers
• 9 hand traps plus Solemn trio and Heavy Storm give layered interaction
• Starter redundancy: Tamer Elder, Spiritual Beast Tamer Lara, Cannahawk and Rampengu at 3 copies each

Weaknesses

• Two Forbidden Extra Deck cards make the list illegal
• Mulcharmy (6 copies) conflicts with the board-filling engine
• Anti-Spell Fragrance and Heavy Storm hit the deck's own Spells and Traps
• No side deck
• No recorded boards or matchup data

Critical choke points

• Tamer plus Spiritual Beast pair on field before an Ulti summon (Inferred)
• Banish costs of Ulti summons drain the board after an interruption (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Cross-Sheep and Knightmare Gryphon are Forbidden; Extra Deck is 15 of 15 with 12 distinct cards; Ulti-Gaiapelio 3200 ATK, Ulti-Apelio 2600 ATK, Ulti-Reirautari 2600 ATK; 22 of 25 usage core cards are actually in the list once the Extra Deck is matched
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and starter redundancy from the hypergeometric numbers and text; Interaction layering and own-card conflicts; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Median output and matchup fit, since no combos or tournament data exist; Side and post-side adaptability, since no side deck exists
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so all combo output is text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent usage statistics marks 7 Extra Deck core cards (Gaiapelio, Apelio, Nochiudrago, Cannahawk, Kimunfalcos, Thunder Dragon Colossus, S:P Little Knight) as not in the deck although cards[] lists them in the extra zone; the reported core-card presence of 60 is an evidence bug, and the corrected figure is 22 of 25 (88) no side deck no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN
