Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 11 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Ritual Summon Black Luster Soldier or Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos, or Black Chaos, then extend through Link monsters; Fusion boss (Dark Magician of Destruction, Starving Venom) via Super Polymerization, which is Semi-Limited and over the limit here
  • Turn 1 (going first): Opening Light and Darkness Ritual or Griffoh/Skull Archfiend, then Ritual Summon a Level 8 boss and extend with Link monsters (Inferred from card text)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Dominus Impulse for interaction, then recover the Ritual engine through Skull Archfiend and Mind Shuffle (Inferred)
  • Recovery: Skull Archfiend of Chaos and Mind Shuffle return Ritual monsters or Continuous Traps from GY/Deck; Mulcharmy draw effects refill the hand (Inferred)
  • After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The Ritual core is consistent on paper: P(at least one of the 22 archetype-core copies in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.94, and Griffoh and Skull Archfiend give early access (Inferred). Its ceiling is real, with Black Luster Soldier and Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos at 3000 and 2800 ATK, plus several negate-text cards. Its median is weaker because the 54-card main deck mixes at least seven sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 18.6%), so many hands contain dead Dominus, Mulcharmy or Diabellstar cards. The deck is Illegal (Extra Deck 16 of 15, five Forbidden cards and four over-limit cards), so it is capped at 30 and scored only as a structural read. Popularity was not credited: archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, not strong, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 60 P(at least one archetype-core copy in hand5) about 0.94; starters are live on turn 1 but the Forbidden and over-limit cards are not castable in a legal build (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 50 Five hand traps, Dominus and Mulcharmy cards that need their own archetype, and Pot of Sloth as a non-engine card give a moderate brick rate (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 Best line is text-only: Black Luster Soldier and Magician of Dark Chaos boss outputs, with no recorded boards (Inferred semantic read; no combo data)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 40 No combos_evidence, so median output is unknown and set low on sub-archetype dilution (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Ash Blossom, Droll, Griffoh and Mind Shuffle give several interaction routes and some recursion (Inferred from text)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 55 Pot of Sloth, Mulcharmy draw effects and Skull Archfiend recursion support resource regrowth (Inferred from text)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 Several negate-text cards (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Azamina Ilia Silvia, Chaos Form texts) and hand traps (Inferred semantic; flags present)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Droll and Dominus Impulse answer the board when going second, but Forbidden and over-limit copies are removed in legal play (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 60 Black Luster Soldier at 3000 ATK and Magician of Dark Chaos at 2800 ATK are closing bosses; no direct damage text beyond these (Verified stat, Inferred role)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 35 54 main cards is legal, but exact-name purity is 18.6% across about seven archetypes and 27 distinct cards (Verified composition, Inferred consequence)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 30 Extra Deck is 16 cards, one over the 15 limit, with three Forbidden Extra cards in the deck (Verified legality)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 The deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no side-deck plan (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No dated metagame or tournament link; only archetype usage stats are available (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 35 Many archetypes and summon routes, with multi-step Ritual and Link sequencing (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; no single strategy profile fits a Ritual/Link hybrid). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Copy-limit overage (-4); Extra Deck size overage (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 46.2, then Illegal cap applied and modifiers total -12, final 30

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

  • Consistent Ritual starter access (about 94% for the core in a 5-card hand, Inferred)
  • High-ceiling 3000 and 2800 ATK Ritual bosses
  • Layered negate and hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Droll, Dominus Impulse, Griffoh)

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: over-limit copies and Forbidden cards
  • Low exact-name purity (18.6%) across many sub-archetypes
  • Extra Deck over the 15-card limit
  • No side deck

Critical choke points

  • Forbidden Magicians' Souls, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Azamina Ilia Silvia cannot be run in legal play, so those lines disappear
  • Single-copy Ritual bosses depend on Light and Darkness Ritual, which is only 2 copies
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Forbidden cards: Magicians' Souls, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Azamina Ilia Silvia, Cross-Sheep Legal core replacements (e.g. more Ritual or Black Chaos support) Legality must be fixed before any normal score applies
2 One copy each of Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Super Polymerization; one WANTED and one Droll & Lock Bird Legal-count replacements Fixes copy-limit violations
3 One Extra Deck card None Brings Extra Deck to the 15-card maximum
4 Dominus and Mulcharmy cards that do not fit the Ritual core Core Ritual or Black Chaos support Raises exact-name purity and reduces dead hands

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal status: Extra Deck 16 over 15; copy-limit violations; 5 Forbidden cards; Archetype-core usage at 94% of hands (probability table); Main 54 cards, Extra 16, Side 0
  • Inferred: Starter consistency on the Ritual core; Brick rate from purity and off-archetype cards; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction density from negate and hand-trap text
  • Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: no meta-share or per-pilot match record No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
