Sacred Beast Deck #773050 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Special Summon Phantasm Level 10 boss monsters (Hamon, Raviel, Uria) from hand via Sacred Beast effects, then close with high-ATK Extra Deck monsters (Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts 5000, Gustav Rocket 5000); Gustav Max direct damage (2000 per activation) and Illusion Gate board wipe to convert a stalled board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sacred Beast starter (Thunderclap, Released, Martyr, Card of the Soul for search), set up Phantasm continuous spells and a Level 10 Special Summon, then hold Ash Blossom and Droll/Solemn for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Evenly Matched, Droll, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Sacred Beast GY recursion
• Recovery: Recover through GY effects of Sacred Beasts Released and Martyr of the Sacred Beasts, plus Mulcharmy draw and Fallen Paradise field-spell recycling
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2), so its score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped at 35 and is not a normal Final Contextual score. The structural read comes from the system: a 28-copy Sacred Beast/Phantasm core gives high starter access (P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.98, with individual starters around 0.25), a large hand-trap and negation package (13 hand traps, 9 negation texts) gives strong interaction on both turns, and Level 10 Phantasm bosses plus 5000-ATK Extra Deck finishers give real closing power. The score is not driven by the popularity of the archetype (usage stats only confirm the core is a standard build) and card scores were not averaged. Penalties come from the absent side deck, a 15-card Extra Deck that mixes unrelated engines (Dragunity, Train, Crystron, Yummy, Link-1 support), and an untested pilot-heavy sequence. No combo boards, tournament data or dated meta were supplied, so the median output and matchup fit remain Inferred or Provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary Combo (approx. 80%), secondary Stun (approx. 20%) used only for interaction context; applied as the Combo profile. Structural ≈ 65.4, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-3); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(65.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(52) + ContextModifiers(-5) = 57.7; Illegal cap applied (over copy limit) -> 35, theoretical/structural only. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Large core: 28 Sacred Beast/Phantasm copies give starter access on turn 1 (Inferred)
• 13 hand traps and 9 negation texts give strong interaction on both turns (Inferred semantic)
• Level 10 Phantasm bosses and 5000-ATK Extra Deck finishers provide closing power (Verified card text)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom over copy limit (3 vs 2)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability (Verified)
• Extra Deck contains several unrelated sub-engines that reduce coherence (Inferred)
• Pilot-heavy sequencing with many decision points (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Turn-1 Sacred Beast starter (each starter ≈ 0.25 in hand) must line up with a Level 10 summon
• Ash Blossom and Droll/Solemn negation timing when the opponent holds the first interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited copy limit (3 vs 2); Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within OCG size rules; Side Deck is empty (0 cards); Card text and banlist status for listed cards
• Observed: Core usage: 28 copies of Sacred Beast/Phantasm cards, with the core present in 70.6% of the usage-stat cards
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.98 and individual starter probabilities ≈ 0.25; Hand-trap probability on going second ≈ 0.82; Interaction depth from text roles (13 hand traps, 9 negation texts); Engine coherence and pilotability estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format fit (no tournament data); Median combo output (no recorded boards)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) — signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied (0 cards)
