Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Ritual Summon Mitsurugi boss monsters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi, Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi) through Mitsurugi Ritual and Mitsurugi Mirror, then press with 3000-3200 ATK bodies; Extra Deck link/fusion/xyz pressure (Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, link monsters) when the Ritual line is stopped
  • Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: search a Mitsurugi Reptile (Saji, Kusanagi, Mikoto) or Mitsurugi Ritual; Turn 2: Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror to Ritual Summon a Reptile boss by tributing Reptile monsters
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Solemn Judgment to interrupt the opponent's Special Summon or search, then rebuild the Ritual line from the GY with Mitsurugi Ritual and Mitsurugi Mirror
  • Recovery: Reptile recursion from the GY (Futsu no Mitama, Mitsurugi Great Purification) and the Mitsurugi searchers (Saji, Kusanagi, Lamia) restock the hand
  • After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its Ritual engine opens reasonably often, since P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.79 and P(at least one searcher-text card) is about 0.89 (Inferred). Its interaction suite (4 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Dominus Impulse, Mitsurugi Great Purification, and 13 negation-text cards) earns the strongest dimension, D7. Points are held back by the lack of recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates, by a heavy off-archetype and brick risk (55 of 58 main-deck copies are not exact-name Mitsurugi cards), and by the absence of a side deck. The deck is illegal: five cards exceed their OCG copy limits, so it is capped low and assessed as theoretical/structural only. Its popularity (Mitsurugi core cards at 50-88% inclusion) confirms the list is real, but it did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(>=1 archetype-core card in opening 5) about 0.79; P(>=1 searcher in opening 5) about 0.89; 3-copy Ritual enablers are the limiting factor (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 45 Many generic and off-archetype singletons (27 generic and 55 off-archetype copies) and conflicting Ritual and Tribute requirements raise full-brick and dead-draw risk (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 55 Ritual Summon chain to Ame no Murakumo / Futsu no Mitama with Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror gives a plausible boss ceiling, but no recorded boards exist (Inferred, text-only)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 40 No recorded boards to measure a median; the floor depends on the Ritual line resolving and is likely lower than the ceiling (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Multiple searchers, GY recursion and 4 hand traps give several routes after one interruption, but all Ritual routes depend on Reptile monsters (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 Searchers (20 text hits) and GY recursion restock resources well; Mitsurugi Ritual costs tributes repeatedly (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 68 4 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Dominus Impulse, Great Purification and Droll & Lock Bird give layered, durable interaction (Verified text, Inferred quality)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 50 Going-second hand-trap density is about 0.36 for at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand; Dominus Impulse and Lightning Storm provide some board breaking (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 62 Boss ATK of 3200 (Murakumo) and 3000 (Ruler, Lava Golem) gives closing power when the Ritual line lands; the Extra Deck supplies evasion-light pressure (Verified stats, Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 45 58 main-deck cards at 29 distinct cards, 33 Level-0 Spell/Trap cards, and 5 over-limit copies lower efficiency and coherence (Verified composition, Inferred)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 55 15 Extra Deck cards with a Link 7 / Fusion 5 / Xyz 2 / Synchro 1 split; the core Link (S:P Little Knight) is present, but the usage-core Dyna Mondo and I:P Masquerena are not (Verified)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 15 No side deck is registered (side_count 0); no post-side plan (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 45 No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype meta share unavailable (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 35 Multi-step Ritual, Tribute and Reptile-restriction chains with many decision points raise error risk (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52.3, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*52.3 + 0.20*45 = 50.8, less context modifiers (-12) = 38.8; capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only per guardrail 6). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.79 · 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 text (20 cards) gives frequent access to the Ritual line
  • Layered interaction: 4 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Dominus Impulse, Great Purification and Droll & Lock Bird
  • High boss ATK (Murakumo 3200, Ruler 3000, Lava Golem 3000) for closing

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: five cards exceed OCG copy limits
  • Off-archetype and generic dilution (55 of 58 main-deck copies are not exact-name Mitsurugi)
  • No side deck and no recorded boards to validate the combo line
  • Ritual chain requires Reptile monsters in hand or GY, which is a single point of failure

Critical choke points

  • Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Mirror being in hand (Ritual engine enabler)
  • Enough Reptile monsters on field or in hand to pay Ritual tributes
  • Going-second hand traps (4 copies) in a single 6-card hand
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 2 copies of Pre-Preparation of Rites and 2 copies of Mitsurugi Prayers Single copies only, or replace with other Mitsurugi searchers Legality: these cards are Limited (1 copy) in OCG; the deck cannot be scored normally until fixed
2 1 copy each of Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse and Super Polymerization Two copies maximum of each Legality: Semi-Limited (2 copies) in OCG
3 Dimensional Fissure (3 copies) and Lightning Storm (2 copies) where not needed A side deck of up to 15 cards Adds post-side adaptability (D12) and removes floodgate that hurts the Reptile-based engine

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: Illegal (5 over-limit cards); Archetype core inclusion stats for Mitsurugi (50-88%); Card text for engine and interaction cards; Composition: 58 main, 15 extra, 0 side
  • Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (P >= 0.79 for core, >= 0.89 for searchers); Interaction quality and resilience estimates; Brick-risk estimate from off-archetype dilution; Combo ceiling and floor estimated from card text
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
