Sacred Beast Deck #770636 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 20 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sacred Beast Level 10 Special Summons (Infinity of the Sacred Beasts, Calamity of the Sacred Beasts, Inferno of the Sacred Beasts) into Phantasm/Sacred Beast boss monsters such as The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts and Summoner of the Sacred Beasts; Extra Deck Link and Xyz pressure (Gustav Rocket, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, Accesscode Talker) once board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening-hand searchers (Card of the Soul, Sacred Beasts Released, Ars Magna the Finite and the Infinite, Thunderclap) to find a Level 10 Sacred Beast, then Special Summon it through the Phantasm engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Droll & Lock Bird as hand disruption to slow the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Martyr and Illusion Gate
• Recovery: Recycle from GY via Sacred Beasts Released (banish from GY) and Martyr of the Sacred Beasts (Special Summon from GY); Fallen Paradise of the Sacred Beasts reuses cards sent to GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens searcher text: 27 searcher cards give a P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.98 (Inferred), so the engine is almost always accessible. Its interaction package (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Sacred Beasts Combined Assault, Number 38) is dense enough to score well on end-board interaction. Conversion and closing power come from Sacred Beast Level 10 boss summons and Extra Deck threats, but there is no recorded combo data, so the combo floor and median are text-only inferences and stay low-confidence. The deck is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 and carries 20 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15. Under the rubric, that caps the score as theoretical or structural only. The score was not averaged from card scores, and the Sacred Beast archetype's usage prevalence was not counted as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Illegal-deck cap (-21). Final formula: Illegal cap applied (rubric Step 2): uncapped 0.80*57 + 0.20*55 ≈ 57 with Meta provisional; the illegal cap sets the final score to 36, theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Searcher density (27 cards) makes the engine nearly always accessible on the going-first opening hand
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps and 8 negation-text cards plus removal-text cards
• Multiple boss routes at Level 10 and Extra Deck threats of 4000 to 5000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of 2, and 20 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15
• Low archetype coherence: 72 off-archetype main-deck copies, exact-name purity 1.4%
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Heavy Extra Deck overfill dilutes the boss-summon route

Critical choke points

• Level 10 Sacred Beast monsters in hand are required for most lines; without one, the engine stalls
• Ash Blossom copy count must drop to 2 before the deck is playable

Recommended changes

• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in hand5) ≈ 0.98; Engine accessibility and brick estimates; Interaction density read from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability; Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side deck adaptability (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck supplied
