Legality

Main 60 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Ritual and Link boards built around 3000+ ATK Ritual monsters (Ruler of the End of the World, Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier) and Chaos Angel, Saint Azamina and Azamina boss monsters; Fusion and Link pressure through Azamina and Link monsters that recur from GY
  • Turn 1 (going first): Search a Ritual Spell or Ritual Monster with Ragged Records, Pre-Preparation or Mitsurugi Ritual, then Ritual Summon a 3000-ATK boss
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Kuriboh and Droll & Lock Bird to interrupt the opponent's first summon, then convert with a Ritual or Link line
  • Recovery: Recur Ritual Monsters and Mitsurugi/Azamina cards from GY and banishment with Kusanagi, Saji, Sinful Spoils and Mitsurugi Mirror
  • After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores or from Mitsurugi's popularity. The list reliably reaches a 3000-ATK boss in most hands once the searcher density (28 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in hand of 5) about 0.96) is accounted for, and it has real interruption through seven hand traps. Its ceiling is high because several 3000+ ATK Ritual and Link bosses appear, but no recorded boards exist, so the median is text-inferred and set lower. The deck loses points on construction: 65 of 76 copies are off-archetype, exact-name Mitsurugi purity is 14.5%, the Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a limit of 15, and three cards exceed their copy limits. It has no Side Deck, so the post-side dimension is near zero. The Illegal status caps the score, so this is a structural read only.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 55 P(>=1 starter in opening 5) about 0.23 per copy, 0.96 for searcher text, archetype core present 0.75 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 45 24 singletons and multiple ritual-spell dependencies raise brick risk; no recorded boards (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 Ceiling read from 3000+ ATK Ritual, Link and Synchro bosses and Azamina recursion; no recorded boards (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 Median is text-only; no combo corpus and no power distribution available (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 62 Seven hand traps plus Ritual and Link recursion give a second line after one disruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 Recursion from GY and banishment through Ragged Records, Kusanagi and Sinful Spoils (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 66 12 negation-text and 25 removal-text cards; Ash, Kuriboh and Droll layer interaction (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 60 Hand-trap density is strong going second, and boss ATK stays high enough to challenge boards (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 70 3000 to 3500 ATK bosses (Ruler, Black Chaos, Chaos Angel, Black Luster Soldier) give strong closing power (Verified stats, Inferred use)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 35 60 main slots but only 14.5% exact-name purity and 65 off-archetype copies; the list is loosely built (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 40 Extra Deck is over the limit at 16 and mixes Link, Fusion and Synchro with no clear shell (Verified composition, Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 The deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 35 No tournament or meta data; matchup and format fit cannot be verified (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 35 Multi-step ritual and Azamina sequencing with many decision points; error tolerance is low (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal legality cap (-6); Banlist exposure (-3); No side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then capped by Illegal status via modifiers

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.25 (all Inferred)
  • Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
  • Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

  • Dense searcher text (28 cards) makes a starter reachable in most opening hands
  • Seven hand traps give going-second interaction
  • Multiple 3000+ ATK bosses across Ritual, Link and Synchro

Weaknesses

  • Illegal: Extra Deck 16/15 and three cards over copy limits
  • Low exact-name archetype purity (14.5%); 65 off-archetype copies
  • No Side Deck
  • Single-copy engine pieces make key lines fragile

Critical choke points

  • Ritual Spell or Ritual Monster access through Pre-Preparation or Ragged Records
  • Mitsurugi Ritual and the Reptile Ritual chain
  • Extra Deck reduction is mandatory before the list is legal
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 One copy of WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils (3 to 1) and one copy of Pre-Preparation of Rites (2 to 1) Any legal searcher or staple that fits the Ritual plan Clears the copy-limit violations so the list can be legal
2 One Extra Deck card, or one Ash Blossom copy (3 to 2) None needed Brings the Extra Deck to 15 and the Ash Blossom count to its legal limit
3 Off-archetype singletons A focused Side Deck of 15 cards Adds post-side adaptability and raises exact-name purity

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality violations: Ash Blossom 3 vs 2, WANTED 3 vs 1, Pre-Preparation 2 vs 1, Extra Deck 16 vs 15; Composition: 60 main, 16 extra, 0 side; 14.5% exact-name purity; Banlist statuses of listed restricted cards
  • Inferred: Starter and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction, resilience and going-second ratings from card text; Ceiling and closing power from boss ATK values
  • Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup figures are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no title and no Side Deck
