Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Ritual Summon Mitsurugi Reptile boss monsters (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi 3200 ATK, Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi 2000/3400) via Mitsurugi Ritual and Mitsurugi Mirror, then attack or use board-wipe and negate effects.; Light and Darkness Ritual bosses (Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos) and Extra Deck Xyz/Link bosses (Black Skull Dragon, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) as follow-up pressure.
- Turn 1 (going first): Search a Mitsurugi monster or Spell/Trap with the Reptile searchers (Saji, Aramasa, Kusanagi), then convert through Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Ritual-adjacent Ritual Spells into a Ritual boss; keep Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler up as interaction.
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Mourner and Infinite Impermanence as hand traps to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Ritual or Xyz boss monsters.
- Recovery: Mitsurugi searchers and Ragged Records of Rites / Pre-Preparation of Rites recover card advantage; Futsu no Mitama can revive a Reptile from the GY when the opponent Special Summons.
- After siding: No side deck is registered in this export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated.
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens on the Mitsurugi core: the archetype-core group has about a 78% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and the searcher-text group about 95%, so the engine tends to become live by turn 2 (Inferred). Its conversion ceiling is a Ritual boss, with Ame no Murakumo, Futsu no Mitama and Light and Darkness Ritual bosses giving a large board. Interaction is layered: ten hand-trap or negation cards and Raigeki / Lightning Storm give about a 74% chance of a hand trap when going second (Inferred). The score is not earned from Mitsurugi's popularity (usage data only confirms it is a real, accessible list) and not from averaging the individual card scores. It is capped low because the list is illegal in OCG: four cards exceed their copy limits and the Extra Deck is 18 against a maximum of 15. There are no recorded boards, no tournament link and no side deck, so the median and meta reads are weak.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 58 | Core group 13 copies: P(at least one in 5-card hand) = 0.78; searcher-text group 23 copies: 0.95 (Inferred). |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | 23 searchers and 19 tech cards lean toward a functional hand, but ritual-tribute needs and 3-copy Limited/Semi-Limited staples raise brick risk (Inferred). |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable boards; ceiling read from text of Ame no Murakumo and Black Luster Soldier, Ritual-summon conversion (Inferred). |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded boards, so median output is unknown; the floor is set low by the ritual-material requirement (Provisional). |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Ten hand traps and 15 negation-text cards give several independent answers, but most lines depend on Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror (Inferred). |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Reptile searchers, Ragged Records of Rites and Futsu no Mitama GY revival recover resources (Inferred from text). |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 62 | Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Mitsurugi Great Purification and multiple hand traps give layered interaction (Verified text, Inferred quality). |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Going-second hand-trap probability of 0.74 and Ritual/Xyz boss follow-up support the second player (Inferred). |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Ritual bosses at 3000 to 3200 ATK and Black Skull Dragon / Arc Rebellion at 3000 to 3200 ATK close games (Verified stats). |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 42 | 52 Main Deck cards with 28 distinct and only 23% exact-name archetype purity; 3-copy staples and 19 tech cards dilute consistency (Inferred). |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 35 | 18 Extra Deck cards exceed the OCG maximum of 15, so the list is illegal; the 10 Xyz and 5 Link cards are a lot of mandatory Extra Deck flexibility (Verified). |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No side deck registered (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed (Provisional). |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 45 | No dated metagame sample or tournament link; archetype share not available for matchup fit (Provisional). |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Multi-step Ritual, Tribute, Xyz and Link sequencing is complex and error-prone for a casual pilot (Inferred from text). |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50.5, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); extra deck over size (-4); no side deck (-2); illegal cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 49 - 12 = 37, then capped at 30 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only score).
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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
- Large Ritual boss pool (Ame no Murakumo, Futsu no Mitama, Black Luster Soldier, Black Chaos) with 2800-3200 ATK.
- Ten hand-trap or negation cards plus Raigeki / Lightning Storm give layered interaction.
- Reptile searchers plus Ragged Records of Rites give strong card flow.
Weaknesses
- Illegal in OCG: four copy-limit violations and an 18-card Extra Deck.
- Only 23% of the Main Deck is exact-name Mitsurugi, so the engine is diluted with generic and off-archetype cards.
- No side deck and no recorded boards, so median and post-side strength are unknown.
Critical choke points
- Mitsurugi Ritual / Mitsurugi Mirror as the sole Ritual-summon route to the main bosses.
- Limited / Semi-Limited copies: cutting to legal copies removes 4 cards from the lines that rely on them.
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | one Pre-Preparation of Rites, one Mitsurugi Prayers, one Ash Blossom, one Super Polymerization | legal-copy staples from the same archetype, or cards already in the list at a legal count | Restores legality to the copy limits so the list can be evaluated as a playable deck. |
| 2 | three Extra Deck cards from the non-core Xyz and Link set | none (the list needs fewer Extra Deck cards) | Brings the Extra Deck to 15, the OCG maximum. |
| 3 | none | a Main Deck or Side Deck of 15 cards | A side deck is needed to evaluate post-side plans and to adapt to matchups. |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality status Illegal: four copy-limit violations and Extra Deck 18 > 15 (export legality block).; Card texts and stats match the export for the Ritual bosses, Ash Blossom, and Raigeki.; Archetype-core inclusion data: Mitsurugi Great Purification 87.6%, Mitsurugi Mirror 83.1%, Mitsurugi no Mikoto Kusanagi 82.0% (usage stats).
- Inferred: Core-group opening probability 0.78 and searcher-group 0.95 (hypergeometric).; Going-second hand-trap probability 0.74.; Interaction density and brick risk read from text, not from recorded boards.
- Provisional: Meta fit and matchup coverage (no dated metagame sample or tournament link).; Post-side plan (no side deck).
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck registered Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
