Legality
Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Ritual or Fusion Summon a boss monster (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi, Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi, Fiendsmith's Desirae, Ruler of the End of the World) through Mitsurugi Ritual, Mitsurugi Mirror and Pre-Preparation of Rites; Fiendsmith Link and Fusion lines (Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Requiem, Fiendsmith's Sequence) that send Fiendsmith pieces to the GY and recast them
- Turn 1 (going first): Search a Mitsurugi Reptile with Mitsurugi no Mikoto (Saji, Aramasa or Kusanagi) or Mitsurugi Prayers, then Ritual Summon a Reptile boss; Ash Blossom holds up one response
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to break the opponent's opening, then rebuild the same Ritual line from the GY and banished Reptiles
- Recovery: Reptile Ritual monsters recur from the GY through Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi and Mitsurugi Great Purification; Mitsurugi Mirror re-summons them
- After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
This is an Illegal list: seven cards exceed their tcg copy limits, so the score is capped and reported as structural-only, with no normal Final Contextual score. The engine is a coherent Mitsurugi Reptile Ritual package: 22 archetype-core copies give a proxy 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and the Reptile search and recursion chain gives it a real route to a boss. The median and ceiling are not separated by any recorded boards, since the deck has zero parseable combos, so conversion scores rest on card text and are Inferred. The deck has no side deck, which removes post-board adaptation and lowers the score, and the 3-copy starters (Ruler, Pre-Preparation, Prayers, Engraver) only reach a 30% opening-hand hit rate each. The score comes from the deck's consistency and engine structure as a system, not from averaging card power, and not from the archetype's popularity; no meta or tournament data exists.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(>=1 of a 3-copy starter in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.30; archetype core proxy 0.97 in hand (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | Ritual and search redundancy is decent, but 9 cards at 3 copies and 7 over-limit cards add dead-card risk (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable combos; ceiling read from text: Ritual boss from Mitsurugi Ritual plus Mirror is strong (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | combos_evidence has zero boards, so the median is unknown and set conservatively low (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Several independent searchers and Reptile recursion give multiple routes after one interruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 50 | Recursion via Futsu no Mitama and Great Purification, but the Ritual tribute cost is steep (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Great Purification and Desirae give layered interaction (Inferred, text-based) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 45 | Hand traps help on going second, but no board-breaker beyond Ritual bosses is clear (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 55 | Boss ATK 2800-3200 via Ritual or Fusion gives a closing threat; no sample supports it (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 45 | 45 main slots across 21 distinct cards with heavy 3-copy stacking; low flexibility (Verified count, Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | 15 Extra slots across Link, Fusion and XYZ with 14 distinct cards; coverage is broad but spread thin (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 25 | 0 side cards; no post-side plan exists (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype share unavailable (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Multi-step Ritual and Fusion sequencing with tribute decisions is demanding to pilot (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-4); illegal list cap (0). Final formula: Illegal list: uncapped 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-10) = 38; capped to 30 for Illegal status (structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score). Meta provisional.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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
- Coherent Reptile Ritual engine with multiple searchers
- Layered hand traps and negation (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Great Purification)
- Recursion through GY and banish paths
Weaknesses
- Seven cards over copy limits: list is not legally constructible as submitted
- No side deck
- Dependence on 3-copy Ritual starters with low opening-hand hit rates
- Extra Deck spread across three summon types with 14 distinct cards
Critical choke points
- Mitsurugi Ritual or Mirror as the only route to the Ritual bosses
- Reptile tribute requirement for Ritual Summons
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Copies above the tcg limit (Pre-Preparation of Rites, Mitsurugi Prayers, Fiendsmith Engraver, Fiendsmith's Tract, S:P Little Knight, one Ash Blossom, one Super Polymerization) | Legal replacements (Reptile or Mitsurugi staples) | The deck is Illegal; no normal score is possible until copy limits are met |
| 2 | None | A 5 to 15 card side deck | Side 0 leaves no post-board adaptation (D12) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal status: 7 cards over copy limit under the tcg BanList; Main 45, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Archetype core 22 copies; exact-name purity 26.7%; Usage stats: core cards overlap with the list (Ash Blossom 100%, Mitsurugi Prayers 96%)
- Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand estimates; Consistency and brick judgements from card text; Dimension scores D1 to D14 (no recorded boards)
- Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13), no dated sample; Tournament reliability
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null Illegal list: score capped and structural-only
