| Going Second | 63 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 50 |

Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon Albaz-line Fusion Monsters (Albion, Lubellion, Mirrorjade, Titaniklad) that attack for 2500 to 3000 ATK; Yubel-line fusions and Phantom of Yubel as a backup closer
- Turn 1 (going first): Search or Special Summon Fallen of Albaz or a Despia monster, then fuse it through Fusion Deployment, Branded Fusion or Branded Opening into a 2500+ ATK Fusion Monster
- Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C) to break the opponent's turn-one line, then use the Branded GY recursion to rebuild the board
- Recovery: Recover Despia or Branded monsters and Spells from the GY through Despian Tragedy, Branded Retribution and Albion's GY effects
- After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
This list opens reliably: 18 searcher-text cards put at least one searcher in hand in about 96% of opening hands, and 12 archetype-core copies give about an 85% chance of at least one core card in hand. Its conversion is the Albaz-line fusion chain, which can reach 2500 to 3000 ATK closers, and its 9 hand traps and multiple negations give it a dense interaction layer that scores well for going second. The score is capped because the list breaks two copy limits (Maxx C at 3 vs 1, Super Polymerization at 3 vs 2), so the structural reading is theoretical only. Usage popularity and archetype familiarity did not earn points, the deck runs only 5 of 25 archetype-core cards, and the dimension scores were not averaged from individual card scores.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 60 | P(at least one Fallen of Albaz in a 5-card hand) is 0.237 for 2 copies; P(at least one archetype-core card) is 0.851; 18 searcher-text cards (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 52 | 9 hand traps and 12 tech cards with several non-engine slots raise brick risk; no side deck to fix hands (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No recorded boards; the ceiling comes from text reading of the Albaz fusion chain reaching 2500+ ATK closers (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 48 | No recorded boards; the median is text-only inference and the deck's 5 of 25 core cards suggest an off-standard build (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 62 | Several independent starters (Fallen of Albaz, Branded openers, Despian Tragedy, Nightmare Throne, Springans Kitt, Aluber) and GY recursion (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Searchers and GY recursion (Despian Tragedy, Branded Retribution) recover resources; no recorded resource signature (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 70 | Negation text on Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Aluber, Branded Retribution and Predaplant, plus 9 hand traps (Inferred semantic read from card text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 68 | Going-second hand-trap coverage is about 0.81 for at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 66 | Four 2500+ ATK Fusion closers plus Mirrorjade at 3000 ATK; end-board strength is present but the closers are single-route (Verified text / Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 62 | 40 main cards over 19 distinct names; 7 singletons; 51 off-archetype copies lower purity to 7.3% exact-name (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | 15 Extra slots: 13 Fusion and 2 Link, with overlapping Albaz-line fusions and a single Phantom of Yubel (Verified composition / Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 25 | No side deck (Side Deck size 0); no post-side evidence (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link and no dated meta sample; archetype meta-share unknown (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 55 | Multi-step fusion sequences with several decision points (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary; profile weights used as-is. Structural ≈ 58.6, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist/copy-limit violation (-12); no side deck (0). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: list breaks 2 copy limits. Structural 58.6 and the no-meta formula 0.80*58.6 + 0.20*50 = 56.9 are not used as the final. Reported 30 is a capped theoretical value. Meta provisional.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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
- Dense searcher text (18 copies) gives high starter access
- Two-route interaction: 9 hand traps plus negation text on Aluber, Predaplant and Branded Retribution
- Several 2500+ ATK fusion closers from the Albaz line
Weaknesses
- Two copy-limit violations make the list illegal
- No side deck registered
- Only 5 of 25 archetype-core cards present, so the build is off-standard
- Off-archetype spread (51 copies) weakens engine coherence
Critical choke points
- Branded Fusion (Limited, 1 copy) is the single gateway for the Albaz fusion routes
- Fallen of Albaz (2 copies) is the core engine starter
- Phantom of Yubel (Semi-Limited, 1 copy) is the single Yubel closer
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 copies of Maxx C (keep 1) | 2 non-restricted cards of the same role (search or hand trap) | Fixes the Limited copy-limit violation; without it the list is illegal and the score is capped |
| 2 | 1 copy of Super Polymerization | 1 non-restricted card of the same role | Fixes the Semi-Limited copy-limit violation |
| 3 | A tech slot that duplicates a hand-trap role | A side-deck-compatible or core-archetype card if the format allows a side | Improves D12 and off-archetype purity |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: Maxx C 3 copies vs limit 1; Super Polymerization 3 copies vs limit 2; main 40, extra 15, side 0; Composition counts and archetype purity 7.3%; Usage: 5 of 25 core cards present
- Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric); Hand-trap and interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
- Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit (D13); Post-side plan (D12)
- 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; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered
