Sacred Beast Deck #772737 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Sacred Beast Special Summon chains (Calamity of the Sacred Beasts, Infinity of the Sacred Beasts, Inferno of the Sacred Beasts) into Phantasm boss monsters (The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts, Phantasm Emperor Trilojig) and Xyz/Link pressure.; Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket / Gustav Max damage and the Xyz/Link board from Sacred Beast Level 10 material.
• Turn 1 (going first): Sacred Beasts Thunderclap or Martyr of the Sacred Beasts searches a Sacred Beast Field Spell or Continuous card, then Fallen Paradise and a Level 10 Sacred Beast from hand or Deck follow.
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence answer the opponent's first starter, then the Phantasm engine rebuilds through Sacred Beasts Released and Martyr recursion.
• Recovery: Sacred Beasts Released and Martyr of the Sacred Beasts recycle from the GY, and Summoner of the Sacred Beasts provides a discard-cost Special Summon from hand or GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck relies on the Main Deck alone.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its Sacred Beast searchers (Thunderclap, Martyr, Released, Calamity, Infinity, Summoner, Inferno) make the engine reliably reachable: P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.999 by hypergeometric estimate, and usage statistics show this is the standard core. Redundant Level 10 starters and multiple recursion routes keep the line alive after one interruption. Nine hand traps and about ten negation effects give layered interaction, and the Phantasm Extra Deck bosses supply closing power. Score is pulled down by the list being Illegal (three copies of a Semi-Limited card), by no Side Deck, by zero recorded combos and no tournament data, and by a Medium-to-Low confidence on the median output. Archetype usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible, but they earned no points on their own.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-22.7); Banlist exposure (-4); Dependence on one Extra-Deck card (-2); No Side Deck (-2); Engine conflicts (-1). Final formula: Structural 63.4 (Combo profile) → 0.80*63.4 + 0.20*55 = 61.7 (Meta provisional); context modifiers −9 → 52.7; Illegal cap applied (3 copies of a Semi-Limited card) → 30. Theoretical/structural-only score.

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Archetype-core consistency: about 0.999 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand
• Multiple independent Level 10 starters and recursion routes (Released, Martyr, Summoner)
• Layered interaction: 9 hand traps plus negation and removal text cards
• Strong closing bosses: Raviel, Calamity, Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts and Gustav Rocket

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Heavy reliance on Level 10 Sacred Beast pieces, which lowers hand flexibility
• No recorded boards, tournament results or win-rate data to confirm the median output

Critical choke points

• Any Level 10 Sacred Beast in hand is needed to start the Phantasm chain; a hand without one leans on Thunderclap or Martyr searches
• Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (2 copies) is the main Extra Deck boss route
• Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler are the going-second answers; losing both to a single sweep leaves the engine exposed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs OCG limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Main Deck 40 and Extra Deck 15 are within size rules; Card text and banlist status for all listed cards; Archetype usage statistics: Martyr, Thunderclap and Raviel are core cards with 95%+ inclusion
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Sacred Beast core is widely run in the archetype sample
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (≈0.999 core, ≈0.976 searcher) from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from text: 9 hand traps, 10 negation, 11 removal; Going-second hand-trap probability ≈0.81; Structural profile for Combo, with a Midrange/Stun secondary read
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck registered (Side Deck size 0) deck title is null; name is taken from the archetype only
