Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Phantasm Sacred Beast boards (Infinity of the Sacred Beasts - Raviel, Calamity of the Sacred Beasts - Hamon, and Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts at 5000 ATK) overwhelming a single board (Inferred from card text); Thunder Dragon and Fiendsmith Link/Fusion pressure, with Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax and Number 38 as board-control closers (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sacred Beast starter or searcher (Sacred Beasts Thunderclap, Martyr of the Sacred Beasts, Summoner of the Sacred Beasts) and reach a Level 10 Special Summon (Inferred; no combo boards recorded)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the eight hand-trap-type cards (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Maxx C, D.D. Crow, Nibiru, and others) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Phantasm Level 10 summons (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion through Martyr of the Sacred Beasts, Thunder Dragon GY/banish effects, and Sacred Beasts Released from the GY (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None. The list runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (data gap)

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal OCG list: two Forbidden cards (Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) are run, and the Extra Deck holds 19 cards against a limit of 15, so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 25 as a theoretical, structural-only read. The structural read (about 52) rests on the system: a Phantasm Level 10 engine with 8 hand-trap-type cards and 29 searcher-text cards gives it a real ceiling and interaction, while the engine is spread across about six sub-archetypes (only 0% exact-name Sacred Beast purity, 70 off-archetype copies), so consistency and pilotability are weak. Archetype popularity (19 core copies, 64% core presence) confirms the list is a real build but earned no points on its own, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score. The deck has no Side Deck and no recorded boards, so post-side adaptability (D12) and median output (D4) are scored from text inference only and carry low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra deck over size (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: structural-only. Structural 52 (Combo profile) and TournamentReliability 40 give 0.80*52 + 0.20*40 = 49.6 before modifiers; the score is capped at 25 because the deck is illegal (2 Forbidden cards, Extra 19 > 15). Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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

• High-ceiling Level 10 Phantasm finishers (Infinity, Calamity, Chaotic Phantasmal) with 4000 to 5000 ATK
• Eight hand-trap-type cards plus several negation and removal effects give layered interaction
• Archetype core (19 copies) is present in about 91% of opening hands, so starters are usually reachable

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and an Extra Deck of 19 (limit 15)
• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side adaptability
• Engine spread across about six sub-archetypes (0% exact-name purity, about 70 off-archetype copies)
• No recorded combo boards, so floor and median output are unknown

Critical choke points

• Any Level 10 Phantasm summon depends on a Sacred Beast monster in hand or GY and a Level 10 Sacred Beast in the Deck; a single hand-trap answer can end the line
• Extra Deck has 19 cards, so the link and fusion materials for several engines compete for the same field space

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden and run at 1 copy each; Extra Deck size 19 exceeds the OCG limit of 15; Main Deck 51 cards (within 40 to 60), Side Deck 0; Exact-name archetype purity 0%; about 70 off-archetype copies; Core present 9 of 14 (64.3%) per usage statistics
• Inferred: Starter reliability: P(at least one of 19 core copies in the opening 5) about 0.91; a single 3-copy starter about 0.27; Level 10 Phantasm finishers provide the ceiling (Inferred from card text); Interaction layering from text: negation and removal cards in the Deck; Recursion via Martyr, Thunder Dragon, and Fallen Paradise
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample, no 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 match record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits, matchup results, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Usage statistics flag Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (7894706), S:P Little Knight (29301450), and Thunder Dragon Colossus (15291624) as not in this deck, but the card list runs all three in the Extra Deck; the usage flags are inconsistent with the card list Composition reports 5 Fusion Monsters, but the Extra Deck card list shows 4 (Chaotic Phantasmal, Thunder Dragon Colossus, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Desirae); the count is inconsistent Deck title is null, so the deck is identified by its id and archetype only
