Sacred Beast Deck #769458 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon the Sacred Beast Lords (Hamon, Raviel, Uria) and convert them into Armityle the Chaos Phantasm fusions (base 10,000 ATK during your turn) or Level 10 Xyz boards.; Xyz/Link board pressure with direct damage (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max, 2000 per detach) and Trilojig burn.
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening of the Spirit Gates or Chaos/Dark Summoning Beast to Tribute into a Lord, then fuel Hamon (3 face-up Continuous Spells) or Uria (3 face-up Traps) and build toward Armityle or a Level 10 Xyz.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a Lord or searcher, then Dark Beckoning/Phantasmal Summoning Beast to recover a Lord through hand-trap or spell interaction, with Cerulean Skyfire or Awakening answering the opponent's Spell/Trap.
• Recovery: Phantasmal Summoning Beast and Dark Beckoning Beast re-add a Lord from Deck or GY; Opening of the Spirit Gates recovers a searcher; Fallen Paradise shields Lords from opposing card effects.
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan available in best-of-3.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 18 searcher or starter cards give a 0.96 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate), and the chance of an empty-of-starters opening hand is about 4% (Inferred). The engine converts into pressure through the 8 Lord copies: P(at least one Lord in a 5-card hand) is about 0.69 going first and 0.76 going second (Inferred, computed here from the Main Deck). The Lords are Special Summon-only, and Hamon and Uria need 3 face-up Continuous Spells or Traps, which only 4 Continuous Spells and 4 Traps in the Main Deck can supply, so the fuel is the choke point that holds the score down. Interaction is real but mid-tier (4 hand traps, Skill Drain, Cerulean Skyfire, Awakening, Fallen Paradise), and the deck has no Side Deck at all, which caps adaptability and best-of-3 play. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited: the archetype core cards are mostly absent from the list (5% core present), so the list is treated as its own engine. The score was built from the system (consistency, ceiling, interaction, and side-less fragility), not by averaging card scores, and no combo boards were recorded, so the floor and median are inferred.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); unrecoverable choke point (-2); weak post-side plan (-2); engine conflict (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*60 + 0.20*45 - 6 = 51

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 18 starter or searcher cards with 3-copy density on the core enablers
• 8 Lords and 3 Armityle fusions give high ceiling and closing power
• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps, Skill Drain, Cerulean Skyfire, Awakening, Fallen Paradise

Weaknesses

• Zero Side Deck cards
• Lord fuel (Continuous Spells and Traps) is thin
• Low exact archetype purity (43.6%) with off-archetype Train, Knightmare, Salamangreat and Chaos Phantom pieces

Critical choke points

• Hamon needs 3 face-up Continuous Spell Cards; the deck runs only 4 (Opening x3, Cerulean Skyfire x1)
• Uria needs 3 face-up Traps; the deck runs only 4 (Awakening x3, Skill Drain x1)
• Armityle fusions require all three Lords banished, competing with Xyz materials

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal OCG list: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side, 6 Limited cards at 1 copy each; Hamon requires 3 face-up Continuous Spell Cards; Uria requires 3 face-up Traps (card text excerpts); Lord stat lines: Hamon 4000/4000, Raviel 4000/4000, Uria 0 ATK base with Continuous Trap ATK gain
• Inferred: P(>=1 Lord in 5) ~0.69 and 6 ~0.76 (hypergeometric, computed from the Main Deck); Fuel-limited Lord conversion and conditional opening hands; Ceiling from text (Armityle, Xyz, Gustav Max) with no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No recorded boards; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate or matchup telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
