B.E.S. Deck #697643 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 26/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Synchro boss beatdown: Fallen of the White Dragon and Branded Fusion route into Albion-style and Chaos/Bystial-style boards, but the Albion route is illegal here and the rest is unverified against combo evidence.; Hand-trap and tech interaction stalls the opponent so a 2500-3000 ATK Synchro or Fusion boss can attack through an unanswered board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fallen of Albaz starter (Fallen of the White Dragon from hand, or Branded Fusion) and Fusion or Synchro into a 2500+ ATK boss while holding Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler for the opponent's first response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Maxx C) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and a Synchro boss.
• Recovery: Recover from a hand-trap or board wipe through Mulcharmy draw engines, Branded Regained, and Bystial recursion of banished LIGHT or DARK monsters.
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards) in the export, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not an average of its card scores. It is illegal in OCG: three copies of The Fallen & The Virtuous (limit 2), plus Called by the Grave and Albion the Branded Dragon, which are both Forbidden, so the normal Final Contextual score is capped and this result is theoretical and structural only. Its engine is fragmented across several sub-archetypes (Branded, Bystial, Mulcharmy, Dominus, Chaos, Ecclesia, Despia) with only 5.7% exact B.E.S. purity, so starter access (about 25% per copy in hand for going first) and brick control are weak. Interaction density is high (14 hand traps, 9 negation texts, 25 removal texts), which supports going-second board disruption, but the 30-card distinct main with 16 tech cards and an empty side deck lowers efficiency and post-game adaptability. Popularity and the usage stats (40% core presence) were not credited as strength, and no combo boards exist to measure floor or ceiling, so the combo dimensions rest on text inference only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal legality cap (-20); Engine conflicts across sub-archetypes (0); Dependence on Forbidden Albion line (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; illegal-list cap applied); 0.80*47 + 0.20*40 = 45.6, then -20 legality modifier, rounded to 26

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• High interaction density: 14 hand traps, 9 negation texts, 25 removal texts
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (~0.84 at least one in hand 6)
• Multiple 2500-3500 ATK Synchro and Fusion bosses with banish and piercing text
• Mulcharmy draw engines give some resource recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: copy limits exceeded on three cards and two Forbidden cards present
• Fragmented engine: 5.7% exact B.E.S. purity across seven sub-archetypes
• No side deck (0 cards) so no post-side plan
• Low starter density (~0.25 per 3-copy starter in opening hand going first)
• No recorded combos, so consistency and conversion are unverified

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz starter access, which gates both Fusion and Synchro lines
• Forbidden Albion and Called by the Grave removal from the list would cut the Branded plan
• Single-copy Limited cards (Harpie's Feather Duster, Heavy Storm, Dimensional Barrier) are the only board-wide answers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: The Fallen & The Virtuous 3 copies vs limit 2, Called by the Grave 1 vs Forbidden 0, Albion 2 vs Forbidden 0; Main 55 within 40-60 size rule; Extra 15 within 0-15; Side 0; Usage stats: 5 core rows, 2 present (40%); No tournament link and no combos
• Inferred: Starter probability ~0.25 per 3-copy card in going-first opening hand; Hand-trap probability ~0.84 at least one in going-second hand 6; Interaction density from role-hint tags and text (14 hand traps, 9 negation, 25 removal)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no matchup or win-rate data)
• 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 in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Side deck is empty; no post-side evidence Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
