Legality
Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion boss summoned through Fallen of Albaz (Albion the Branded Dragon, Titaniklad, Filia Regis, Mirrorjade) backed by 2500-3000 ATK Bystial bosses; Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut and Bystial Saronir (2500 ATK each) as Dragon beatsticks that also banish LIGHT/DARK monsters from either GY
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Fallen of Albaz, Blazing Cartesia or Branded Fusion, search Branded Fusion or Albion, and Fusion Summon a Level 8 boss; the searcher text (12 copies) is the main consistency lever
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird and the negation traps (Branded Retribution, Tri-Brigade Mercourier) to stop the opponent's first play, then convert through Fusion and the banish-based removal monsters
- Recovery: Recur Fallen of Albaz and Fusion Monsters from the GY through Albion the Shrouded Dragon, Branded Sword, Screams of the Branded and Bystial Saronir's GY effect (all Inferred from card text)
- After siding: Not applicable: the export shows 0 Side Deck cards and the format does not use a sideboard in play; no post-side data exists
Why it scores here
The score comes from the system: a redundant engine (three Fallen of Albaz, three Blazing Cartesia, two Branded Fusion and 12 searcher-text cards) gives high odds of a live starter, and nine Fusion Extra Deck monsters give a large ceiling of 2500-3000 ATK bosses. Interaction is broad (two Droll & Lock Bird, negation text on Branded Retribution, Tri-Brigade Mercourier and Predaplant Dragostapelia, plus banish-based removal from the Bystial monsters), which supports the Going-Second and resilience scores. Median output and playability pull the score down: there are no recorded boards, so the floor and ceiling are text-only inferences, and off-engine cards (two Gadarla, two Mulcharmy Purulia, Springans Kitt) dilute the brick rate and main-deck efficiency. Popularity did not earn points: the guides call the archetype Tier 1, but that is human commentary and is labelled Provisional, and no card scores were averaged.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 70 | P(>=1 Fallen of Albaz in opening 5) = 0.4335 and archetype-core proxy P(>=1 in 5) = 0.9944 with 18 copies; searcher-text group P = 0.9399; 2-card bootstrap is inferred (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 60 | Brick risk from 2 Droll & Lock Bird, 2 Gadarla and 2 Mulcharmy Purulia that need specific board states; 12 singletons reduce copy redundancy (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 68 | Fusion ceiling from 9 Extra Deck Fusion Monsters, with Albion, Titaniklad and Filia as bosses; no recorded boards, so semantic read only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 55 | No recorded boards, so median and floor cannot be measured; set conservatively below the ceiling (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 66 | Independent starters (Albaz, Cartesia, Branded Fusion) and recursion from the GY give a second route after one disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 68 | GY recursion via Albion the Shrouded Dragon, Branded Sword and Screams of the Branded, plus Saronir's GY effect, support rebuilding (Inferred from card text) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 74 | Two hand traps, three negation effects and six removal-text cards give broad, layered interaction (Verified flags and text, Inferred quality) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 65 | Banish-based removal (Druiswurm, Magnamhut, Saronir) and Droll & Lock Bird answer an established board; the Going-Second combo split is unavailable (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 78 | Multiple 2500-3000 ATK bosses (Filia Regis 3000, Mirrorjade 3000, Lubellion 2500/3000) and Titaniklad's ATK gain (Verified stats, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | 30 Main Deck cards with 12 singletons; exact-name archetype purity is only 25.6% (10 of 39 copies), with 29 off-archetype copies (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 62 | Nine Fusion Extra Deck slots with 2 Albion copies and one of each boss; Extra Deck coverage is solid but leans on Fusion materials (Verified composition, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 40 | No Side Deck is run and the format has no sideboard in use, so adaptability is structurally absent (Verified export; Provisional score) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 60 | Guides call Branded Tier 1, but no tournament link or dated metagame sample is provided (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-step Fusion chains, GY-based summons and timing-sensitive negations raise the decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64.9, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: Engine coherence (sub-archetype spread) (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Redundant engine bootstrap (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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
- Three Fallen of Albaz and three Blazing Cartesia give a high chance of a live starter
- Nine Fusion Extra Deck monsters with 2500-3000 ATK bosses
- Interaction spans hand traps, negations and banish-based removal
Weaknesses
- No recorded boards, so the median and floor are unmeasured
- Off-engine Kaiju, Mulcharmy and Springans cards dilute the brick rate and efficiency
- No Side Deck and no post-side plan
Critical choke points
- Fallen of Albaz is the engine key; the hand-5 chance of at least one copy is 0.4335 (Inferred)
- Branded Fusion and the Albion search are needed to convert a starter into a boss (Inferred)
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gadarla, the Mystery Dust Kaiju (2) | A core Branded or Bystial card (verify text before adding) | Kaiju is off-archetype, needs an opposing Kaiju or a tribute to summon, and the usage stats show Kaiju is not core (Inferred) |
| 2 | Mulcharmy Purulia (2) | Branded in White or Branded Beast, if verified to fit the engine | Purulia is situational and off-engine; the usage stats show Branded in White (75%) and Branded Beast (75%) as core cards missing from the list (Inferred from usage stats) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal size and copy limits (30 Main, 9 Extra, 0 Side); Banlist status of Super Polymerization (Limited) and both Bystial Semi-Limited cards (run at 1 copy each); Card text and stats for all 29 distinct cards; Hypergeometric draw probabilities for the Main Deck
- Inferred: Starter accessibility and brick rate; Interaction quality and going-second read; Recursion and resource economy from text; Closing power from ATK values
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Tier 1 status from guides; Side-deck adaptability (no side and no sideboard in play)
- 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage-stat matching appears to count Main Deck copies only: Lubellion the Searing Dragon, Granguignol, Predaplant Dragostapelia, Mirrorjade, Filia Regis, Khaos Starsource and Albion the Branded Dragon are present in the Extra Deck but flagged in_this_deck=false, so core_present_pct=56 understates coverage (about 21 of 25 when Extra copies count) No Side Deck in the export, and the format does not use a sideboard in play; D12 is therefore structural Alba-Lenatus the Abyss Dragon (100% inclusion) is absent from the list
