Sacred Beast Deck #772966 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Sacred Beast Special Summon chains into Yubel-line and Unchained Link pressure (Inferred from card text and archetype core); Extra Deck Fusion and Link boards via Super Polymerization and Link Summons (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Sacred Beast searcher or Martyr/Thunderclap starter, then reach a Level 10 Sacred Beast summon through Calamity or Infinity (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre) to slow the opponent, then rebuild the Sacred Beast board from the GY (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from GY and banish effects (Sacred Beasts Released, Martyr, Gruesome Grave Squirmer) plus Nightmare Throne and Fallen Paradise to refill the field (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; a legal rebuild would need one (Verified)

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system: the Sacred Beast core (26 copies, about 96% chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand) makes the engine reliably live, and 27 searcher-text cards and recursion let it rebuild after disruption. Interaction is real but not overwhelming, with 8 hand traps and 7 negation-text cards, and Ash Blossom is over the copy limit. Combo ceiling and median output could not be measured because there are no recorded boards, so those dimensions rest on text-only inference. The deck has a 56-card main with only 27 distinct cards, 67 off-archetype copies by exact name, and no Side Deck, which lowers efficiency and adaptability. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage stats confirm the core list is real, but they do not make this list strong, and the card scores were not averaged. The deck is Illegal, so the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist / copy-limit exposure (-8); Dependence on single Extra-Deck cards (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 53, minus modifiers (-10) = 43, capped at 40 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read)

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

• Archetype core is dense: 26 copies with a 96% chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand
• Redundant searchers (27 searcher-text cards) and GY recursion give multiple routes
• Hand-trap suite (8 hand traps, 7 negation-text) supports going second

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards over their copy limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name purity (5.6%); the engine is spread across sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Yubel - Terror Incarnate and Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare: one copy each, required for the Yubel line
• Phantom of Yubel and S:P Little Knight: Limited, one copy each

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, two Semi-Limited cards over the copy limit (Ash Blossom, Super Polymerization); Main 56 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side count is 0; Archetype purity 5.6% exact-name and sub-archetype spread from composition data; Usage stats show the Sacred Beast core is common in this archetype
• Inferred: Consistency estimates (P ≥1 core ≈ 0.96) from the hypergeometric model; Engine conversion and interaction quality from card text only; Going-first and going-second plans from card text and archetype core
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (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 — brick, starter, and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the deck is identified only by id and archetype
