Ritual Beast Deck #767869 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Ritual Beast Ulti fusions and links (Ulti-Cannahawk, Ulti-Gaiapelio, Ulti-Apelio, Ulti-Nochiudrago, Ulti-Reirautari, Ulti-Kimunfalcos) built from banished Ritual Beast and Spiritual Beast monsters, with Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon as a removal-plus-damage finisher; Topologic Blaster Dragon and Thunder Dragon Colossus as off-archetype Extra Deck beaters; Number 101 and K9-17 as Xyz follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Ritual Beast Tamer Elder or Spiritual Beast Tamer Lara/Cannahawk to chain Normal Summons and reach the Ritual Beast Ulti Extra Deck summon, backed by Ash Blossom and Maxx C against the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Mourner as hand traps against the opponent's first summon or engine, then rebuild through Tamer and Spiritual Beast monsters into a Ulti fusion or link
• Recovery: Use the banished Tamer and Spiritual Beast monsters as material for repeated Ulti summons, and use Nemeses Corridor and Ritual Beast Tamer Wen to re-enter banished monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs an empty Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its Tamer and Spiritual Beast starters: the archetype core of 19 copies has about 97% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and each 3-copy starter about 34%. Conversion depends on the Ritual Beast Ulti fusions and links, which the deck can reach from banished monsters and which carry real closing power such as Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon. Interaction is above average for the list (five hand traps plus Crossout Designator, Gallant Bandit and Gaiapelio's negation), so the deck can survive a first disruption and contest a going-second board. Recorded combo data is absent, so floor and ceiling are text-based inferences and not averaged from card scores. The score is capped low because the list is Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards are run, and the Side Deck is empty. Archetype popularity earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52.5, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*52.5 + 0.20*40 + (-12) = 38.0. Illegal deck (Forbidden cards run): cap applied, theoretical/structural-only, final 25. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Archetype core of 19 copies opens functional about 97% of the time
• Five hand traps plus Crossout Designator and Ash Blossom give going-second interaction
• Extra Deck carries high-impact closers (Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon, Ulti fusions)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards run and the score cannot be normal
• Empty Side Deck gives no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-archetype purity (40%) with 33 off-archetype copies weakens engine coherence
• Recorded combos and tournament data absent

Critical choke points

• Ritual Beast Tamer / Spiritual Beast starters: the Ulti summon depends on these monsters being in hand and on banished material
• Single-copy Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon as the only mass-removal closer

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards run; OCG legal copies = 0 (legality); Main 40 cards, Extra 15, Side 0 (composition); Card text and stats for each card (cards list); Archetype usage: core cards such as Ritual Beast's Bond and Steeds absent (usage_statistics)
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric probabilities (P ≈ 0.34 per 3-copy starter; core group 0.97); Brick risk from singletons and off-archetype copies; Going-second value from hand traps; Closing power from Extra Deck boards
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame or 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 record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Side Deck is empty; no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
