• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sacred Beast Special Summon chain into Infinity of the Sacred Beasts - Raviel, Lord of Phantasms and Calamity of the Sacred Beasts - Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (4000 ATK each), with The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (5000 ATK) as the Extra Deck finisher; Link and Fusion beatdown through Codebreaker and Thunder Dragon lines once the field is cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Sacred Beasts Thunderclap or Sacred Beasts Released to add Sacred Beast monsters, then Martyr of the Sacred Beasts to place a Sacred Beast Continuous Spell or Field Spell and Special Summon further Martyrs; Hamon or Raviel via their hand-reveal effects, with Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle held up as hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a hand trap (Ash, Ghost Belle, D.D. Crow, Droll & Lock Bird, Skull Meister, Ghost Ogre) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Sacred Beast engine and Mulcharmy draw effects
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Mulcharmy Purulia draw cards when the opponent Summons, Martyr and Released recur Sacred Beasts from the GY, and Fallen Paradise of the Sacred Beasts recurs monsters from the GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered in this list, so no post-side plan is available

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Sacred Beast engine: the hypergeometric estimate puts at least one archetype-core card in the opening hand at about 0.98, and at least one searcher-text card at about 0.90 (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from Raviel and Hamon at 4000 ATK each, backed by Martyr and Released recursion, and its Extra Deck finisher The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (5000 ATK). Interaction is dense (14 hand-trap-tagged cards, 11 negation-text cards, Solemn Judgment, Called by the Grave), which carries the going-second and midgame plan (Inferred). No combo boards, tournament results or win rates are in the evidence, so the combo floor and median are structural estimates only, and the meta read is Provisional. The score is not based on Phantasm Spiral's popularity or on averaging card scores. The list is over the Ash Blossom copy limit and has no side deck, so the normal contextual formula is capped and this result is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, no weight shift for Stun; weights taken from the Combo profile. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(52) + modifiers(-5) ≈ 53; Meta provisional. Capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2): theoretical/structural-only result

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core density makes the engine live in most opening hands
• Layered interaction: hand traps, negation text and Solemn Judgment
• High-ATK finishers (Raviel, Hamon, Chaotic Phantasmal) with recursion to rebuild

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation on Ash Blossom
• No side deck
• Dependence on a long Sacred Beast chain with multi-step timing
• Several cards are Limited or Semi-Limited, so the list is exposed to banlist changes

Critical choke points

• The Sacred Beast Special Summon chain (Thunderclap, Released, Martyr) is the single line to Raviel and Hamon
• Hand-trap timing on going second depends on having a hand trap in the six-card hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 57 (within 40-60), Extra 15 (within 0-15), Side 0; Archetype-core group 29 copies; searcher-text group 20; hand-trap group 14; Usage stats: 13 of 25 core cards present (52%)
• Inferred: At least one starter in the opening hand ≈ 0.98; Hand-trap availability on going second ≈ 0.83; Interaction density from card text; Engine recursion and combo routes from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) exists in YGOVN No side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
