Sacred Beast Deck #769584 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Phantasm Special Summon chain into Raviel and Hamon (4000 ATK each) and Link/Xyz beaters, with Mulcharmy draw engines building card advantage; Link beatdown via Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon (Limited, 1 copy) and Underworld-style Link negation finishers; Varudras is listed but is Forbidden and cannot legally be played
• Turn 1 (going first): Main Phase: Sacred Beasts Thunderclap or Released to search a Sacred Beast; Martyr of the Sacred Beasts or Summoner to start Phantasm Special Summons; Raviel or Hamon via their hand effects; Fallen Paradise of the Sacred Beasts for field presence
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru and Sacred Beasts Combined Assault to interact with the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild Phantasm monsters from the GY
• Recovery: Martyr and Sacred Beasts Released recursion from the GY; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the board is empty; Lightning Crash and Sacred Beasts Thunderclap search Thunder monsters and Sacred Beast spells
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists. Recorded as a structural gap, not a penalty on the main plan

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in OCG: six Forbidden cards (Varudras, Link Decoder, Reprodocus, Protectcode Talker, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Triple Tactics Talent) are each run with 0 legal copies, so per the rubric this is a structural-only read with a low cap rather than a normal final score. The 40/15/0 size is within the OCG size rules, and the Sacred Beast core (Raviel, Hamon, Martyr, Thunderclap, Released, Mulcharmy draw engines) gives a high chance of a searcher or engine starter in hand (about 0.97 for searcher text in a 5-card hand). Conversion is only text-inferred because there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling (Phantasm summons into 4000-ATK bosses) and the median are both unverified. Interaction is real (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Combined Assault) but the deck has no side plan and no combo data. Popularity of the archetype (usage stats show a strong core) confirms the list is real and accessible, but it earned no points for power, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo weights not blended because the deck has no recorded combos to justify the shift. Structural ≈ 57.3, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); No side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57.3 + 0.20*52 - 12 = 44.2; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Strong Sacred Beast searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to the Phantasm engine
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Combined Assault and Nibiru
• Recursion routes from the GY through Martyr and Sacred Beasts Released

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: six Forbidden cards at 1 copy each
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are unverified
• Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts and Thunder Dragon Colossus, two core Extra finishers by usage, are absent

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards are dead in the Main and Extra Decks, so any line that uses them is unavailable
• Phantasm engine depends on Sacred Beast monsters being in the Deck and hand, with Level 10 requirements
• Mulcharmy draw effects only work with an empty board

• Inferred: Engine accessibility about 0.97 from hypergeometric searcher estimate; Hand-trap availability about 0.71 going second; Ceiling and interaction quality from card text only, no recorded boards
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); no dated meta sample 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 Side Deck (side 0); post-side plan and D12 are unevaluable No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Deck title is null in the export No guides attached for the archetype
