Sacred Beast Deck #771648 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Thunder-monster beatdown and Special Summon pressure from Blitzclique starters, closed by Odin, Whisker Blitzclique, Veidos, Thunder King, or Dingirsu when the board is open; Chained Blitzclique hand-trap and removal lines that clear the opponent's field, then attack through it
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Thunder starter (Steppleader, Surge, Crackle, Grain, Emi) and use the searcher text to reach a second starter; use Alternator or Return Stroke to protect the board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister or Return Stroke to negate or destroy the opponent's first engine, then Special Summon Thunder monsters from hand to rebuild
• Recovery: Thunder monsters recur from the GY through Breakaway, Steppleader and Surge; the Extra Deck synchro and xyz monsters refill the board
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan reliably: 24 searcher-text copies give about a 95 percent chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5-card hand, and at least one of about 15 Thunder starters is usually reachable on turn 1 or 2 (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate and card text). Interaction is layered across six hand traps, Return Stroke and Toxic Boxfish, so the engine can survive one or two disruptions. The score comes from consistency, the recovery structure and interaction on the system as a whole, not from averaging the cards' individual power. Popularity did not earn points: the Sacred Beast archetype label has no Sacred Beast cards in the list, and the real core is Blitzclique. Several Extra Deck cards (Odin, Vallon, Dingirsu, Wind Pegasus, the two Fossil fusions) lack their enablers in the Main Deck, and there is no side deck, which holds the structural score down. No combo boards or win-rate data exist, so the ceiling and floor are text-based inference.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: no_side_deck (-3); extra_deck_enabler_gaps (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*62.95 + 0.20*54 - 5 = 56.2

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Dense searcher and starter density (24 searcher-text copies) makes the engine reliably live on turn 1-2
• Six hand traps and Blitzclique Return Stroke give layered interaction and going-second disruption
• Thunder recursion through the GY keeps the engine regenerating after a board wipe

Weaknesses

• Archetype label 'Sacred Beast' does not match the list: zero Sacred Beast cards, 0 of 14 core cards present, so the deck is effectively Blitzclique
• Five Extra Deck monsters lack their enablers in the Main Deck, leaving likely dead Extra slots
• No side deck registered, so best-of-3 adaptation is absent

Critical choke points

• Sacred Beast label mismatch means the archetype cannot be treated as a known structure
• Lava Golem and Egyptian God Ra require opponent monsters or 3 tributes, which can be dead in some hands
• Single Thunder Kaiju and Astrazma lines depend on specific board states

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal OCG size (55 main, 15 extra, 0 side) with no copy-limit violations; All 55 main and 15 extra cards are Unlimited with legal copies at or under limit; Sacred Beast core: 0 of 14 usage-stat core cards present
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5-card opening hand) = 0.95 (hypergeometric estimate); Going-second hand-trap availability 0.5176; Blitzclique dominance and Extra Deck enabler gaps from card text and archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) no side deck registered deck title is null and the archetype label does not match the list (Sacred Beast with 0 Sacred Beast cards) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
