Sacred Beast Deck #769682 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Phantasm Sacred Beast Special Summons (Calamity of the Sacred Beasts, Infinity of the Sacred Beasts) followed by 4000-ATK board pressure and Link/Fusion closing; Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon and Underworld Goddess of the Closed World as Link-based board breakers and closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Lightning Crash or Sacred Beasts Thunderclap to find a Phantasm Sacred Beast; reveal Infinity or Calamity from hand to add another Sacred Beast; Summon Phantasm monsters and extend into Link/Fusion. Interaction (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle) is held back for the opponent's turn.
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Maxx C, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild through Sacred Beast searchers.
• Recovery: Martyr of the Sacred Beasts and Mulcharmy draw effects plus Sacred Beasts Released recursion to refill the hand after a broken starter.
• After siding: No side deck is present in this evidence, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: six Forbidden cards are run at 1 to 2 copies against a legal limit of 0, so under the rubric it gets only a capped, structural-only score of 35. Read as a system, the Sacred Beast Phantasm core is reliably reachable (archetype-core P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.98, Inferred), and fourteen hand traps and Ash Blossom with Solemn effects give good interaction density. Median and ceiling output could not be measured because no combos were supplied, so the output estimates are text-only and Inferred. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The side deck is empty, which caps adaptability and the going-second plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal cap (-10). Final formula: Illegal deck: structural 59 with 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (59*0.80 + 50*0.20 = 57.2), then -12 banlist-exposure modifier gives 45, capped to 35 as structural-only because the deck is Illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Phantasm core is reliably reachable in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Fourteen hand traps and layered negation give broad interaction (Inferred)
• Multiple searchers and draw effects support card economy (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Six Forbidden cards are run (Verified)
• No side deck (Verified)
• Median and ceiling output are unmeasured because no combos were supplied (Verified)
• Many zero-level non-monsters and tech cards raise brick risk (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Phantasm Special Summon chain depends on Sacred Beast monsters in hand (Inferred)
• Removing the Forbidden cards leaves 53 main and 10 extra, which removes Varudras and the Link-based interaction (Verified legality, Inferred effect)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Six Forbidden cards at copy limit 0 (legality.violations); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side deck is 0 cards; Archetype-core P(>=1) = 0.9847 (probabilities)
• Inferred: Phantasm chain consistency and starter reliability; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation text; Going-first and going-second plan quality; Score cap and modifier values
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No side deck in the list, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed usage_statistics marks The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (7894706) and Thunder Dragon Colossus (15291624) as not in this deck, but the cards list includes both in the Extra Deck; the usage join may be inconsistent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN
