Sacred Beast Deck #771369 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Sacred Beast chain (Summoner, Martyr, Raviel, Calamity, Thunderclap, Released) into Phantasm and Xyz/Link/Fusion boards such as Chaotic Phantasmal, Gustav Rocket and Number C1000.; Hand-trap-protected board built from Numeron, Train and Link Extra Deck monsters that negate or destroy the opponent's field.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Thunderclap, Released or Summoner to reach a Level 10 Sacred Beast, then Special Summon Raviel or Calamity and extend into a Link or Xyz boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to protect the first engine play, then reach a boss through Summoner or Martyr.
• Recovery: Recycle from the GY with Martyr, Summoner, Released and Fallen Paradise, and rebuild with Card of the Soul or Illusion Gate.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter: the archetype-core group gives a proxy of about 0.96 for at least one core card in a five-card opening hand, and eight Sacred Beast engine cards run at three copies each (Inferred). Its ceiling is high, because Level 10 Sacred Beast chains reach Raviel, Calamity, Chaotic Phantasmal and multiple Xyz or Link bosses with large ATK (Inferred from card text). Interaction is dense: two Ash Blossom, two Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird and Nibiru give about 58 percent going-second hand-trap coverage, and Forbidden Crown, Skyfall, Combined Assault and the Extra Deck negate or destroy effects add to that (Inferred). The score is held down by the lack of any sideboard, a 55-card main with 22 generic or off-archetype cards, and Mask of Restrict, whose no-Tribute text conflicts with Lava Golem and Nibiru. No combo boards were recorded, and popularity or usage did not earn points; the score comes from the system's consistency, median output and interaction, not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 61, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: engine conflict (Mask of Restrict) (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; 0.80*62.9 + 0.20*48 = 59.9, then -3 modifiers = 56.9, rounded to 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense starter density: about eight engine cards at 3 copies each, plus a 26-card searcher text group (verified composition)
• Heavy interaction suite: 7 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards (verified flags/text, Inferred semantic)
• Strong closing bosses at 4000 to 5000 ATK across Xyz, Fusion and Link (verified card stats)
• Legal in the OCG format with no copy-limit violations (verified legality)

Weaknesses

• No sideboard: side_count is 0, so no post-side adaptability (verified)
• Low archetype purity: 2.9 percent exact name, with 22 generic and 68 off-archetype copies (verified composition)
• Mask of Restrict conflicts with the Tribute-based cards Lava Golem and Nibiru (Inferred from card text)
• Dead-in-hand risk from situational cards such as Gnomaterial, Buio, Retaliating C and Lava Golem (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• The first Level 10 Sacred Beast on turn 1 or 2, which is required for Raviel, Calamity and the Phantasm chain (Inferred)
• Summoner and Martyr as the main bootstrap for going-second hands (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal main 55 and Extra 15 counts under the OCG size rules; Banlist statuses: Droll and Lock Bird Limited 1, S:P Little Knight Limited 1, Gustav Max Limited 1, Ash Blossom Semi-Limited 2, Super Polymerization Semi-Limited 2; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype composition: 2.9 percent exact purity, 22 generic, 68 off-archetype copies; Usage stats: 10 of 14 core cards present per the in_this_deck flags
• Inferred: Starter access P(at least one core card in a 5-card hand) about 0.96 (proxy); Brick proxy about 4 percent; Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.58; All dimension scores D1 to D11 and the going-first and going-second estimates; Mask of Restrict conflicts with Tribute-based cards
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 format fit, since no dated meta or tournament link exists; Side-deck adaptability, since no sideboard exists
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Data inconsistency: usage_statistics marks The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts, S:P Little Knight and Thunder Dragon Colossus as not in the deck, but the cards array lists all three in the Extra Deck. The 71.4 percent core_present figure is therefore unreliable; the card list shows 13 of 14 core cards present, with only Mulcharmy Fuwalos missing No side deck supplied; side_count is 0
