Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 59 |
| Going First | 45 |
| Going Second | 55 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 35 |
- Primary strategy: Combo
- Secondary strategies: Midrange
- Format: tcg
Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion-summon 3000 ATK boss monsters (Dracotail Arthalion, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) enabled by Fallen of Albaz, then press with recursion (Inferred from card text); Synchro and Fusion board presence through Ecclesia and Albaz Dragon monsters (Inferred from card text)
- Turn 1 (going first): Search with Dracotail and Branded searchers, then Fusion Summon through Ketu Dracotail, Rahu Dracotail or Branded Fusion (Inferred; the list itself is illegal)
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to stop the first summon, then convert through Fallen of Albaz (Inferred)
- Recovery: GY recursion from Dracotail Faimena, Dracotail Urgula, Dracotail Lukias and Dracotail Phryxul to rebuild Fusion material (Inferred from card text)
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards and has no post-side plan
Why it scores here
This deck is illegal in the TCG format: it runs six cards over their copy limit, including two Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave and Albion the Branded Dragon), so it receives a capped, theoretical-only score rather than a normal contextual score. Structurally, its core engine is reasonably accessible, since the 13 Branded/Dracotail core copies give about a 0.76 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the deck has searchers, recursion, and many negation and hand-trap effects that keep it going through disruption. Its ceiling depends on Fusion Summons into 3000 ATK bosses enabled by Fallen of Albaz, but no recorded boards exist to confirm the median output, so that part stays Inferred. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience measured on the list as a system, not from averaging the individual card scores, and not from Branded's popularity (usage data only confirms the archetype is real). Tournament reliability and meta fit are unavailable (no dated meta sample, no tournament link), and the deck has no side plan, which pulls the score down further.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least one of 13 archetype-core copies in opening hand of 5) ≈ 0.76; 6 of 13 usage core cards present (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | 33 distinct main cards with 18 singletons and a mixed hand-trap / Fusion-starter mix; brick proxy ≈ 0.24 for core absence (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No parseable recorded boards; ceiling read from card text of Fallen of Albaz Fusion enablers and 3000 ATK bosses (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards, so median output is unmeasured; text-only estimate with usage-core gaps (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 62 | Ten or more negation or hand-trap effects plus GY recursion give several independent continuations (Inferred from card text) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 65 | Twelve searcher-text cards and GY recursion via Dracotail monsters (Inferred from card text) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 70 | 10 negation-text and 14 removal-text cards across traps and Quick Effects (Verified text, Inferred quality) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Going-second hand traps plus Droll and Lock Bird; board-breaking relies on Albaz Fusions with no measured split (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 68 | Several 3000 ATK Fusion bosses (Dracotail Arthalion, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) at end-board (Verified stat, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 58 | 55 main cards with 3-copy staples (Ash Blossom, Fallen & Virtuous, Mulcharmy); compactness fine but inflated by illegal copies (Verified count) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | 15 Extra Deck cards: 13 Fusion and 2 Synchro; the Extra Deck is well used for the engine (Verified count, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | Zero side deck cards, so no post-side adaptability can be credited (Verified; plan is Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link and no dated meta sample; archetype usage share unavailable (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Multi-step Fusion lines with many Quick-Effect responses demand precise sequencing (Inferred from card text) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo primary, with Midrange as a secondary read for the hand-trap and recursion lines (secondary not weighted separately). Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 54.2; modifier -12 gives 42.2; capped at 40 because status is Illegal (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power is Provisional (null).
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.24 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Large, coherent Dracotail and Branded searcher and recursion network
- Dense negation and hand-trap package that covers the first summon and Fusion starters
- Several 3000 ATK end-board bosses in the Extra Deck
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: six copy-limit violations including two Forbidden cards
- No side deck, so no post-side plan
- No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unverified
Critical choke points
- Fallen of Albaz is the single enabler for most Fusion lines (1 copy)
- Branded Fusion and Ketu Dracotail are the only copies of the key Fusion-starting spells
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 Called by the Grave, 1 Albion the Branded Dragon | Legal non-Forbidden replacements | Forbidden cards make the list illegal; the deck cannot receive a normal score until they are gone. |
| 2 | 1 copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Branded in High Spirits, Droll & Lock Bird | Non-restricted replacements | Copies above the Semi-Limited and Limited caps make the list illegal. |
| 3 | A 3-15 card side deck | A side deck would give the post-side plan (D12) something to score and make the list usable in best-of-3. |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Six copy-limit violations, including Forbidden status for Called by the Grave and Albion the Branded Dragon; Archetype core inclusion (usage statistics) and card text are present
- Inferred: Consistency: P(at least one core in opening 5) ≈ 0.76; Interaction density from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second plans derived from text
- Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
- 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 (going-first, matchup, brick and OTK rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so the post-side plan cannot be evaluated
