Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon Level 8 Fusion boss monsters (Albion the Branded Dragon, Filia Regis, Mirrorjade, Titaniklad, Alba-Lenatus) from Fallen of Albaz and Branded Fusion / Branded in White / Branded in Red fusion routes, then convert the board with 2500 to 3000 ATK monsters; Bystial Dragon Special Summons from the GY (Lubellion, Druiswurm, Magnamhut, Saronir) to add board presence and Fusion material
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Fallen of Albaz (about 43% in a 5-card hand) or a searcher such as Branded in White, Branded Fusion, Branded Lost or Blazing Cartesia, then Fusion Summon a Level 8 boss; keep Droll and Lock Bird and Branded Retribution as interaction
- Turn 2 (going second): Open Fallen of Albaz (about 50% in a 6-card hand), use the Fallen Fusion engine through the opponent's board, and use Branded Retribution, Tri-Brigade Mercourier and Super Polymerization to answer their Fusion or Special Summon
- Recovery: Recover through GY-to-banish recursion: Branded Sword, Screams of the Branded, the Bystial Special Summons, Albion the Shrouded Dragon returning Fallen of Albaz or Branded spells from Deck, and Branded Lost preventing responses
- After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0). Duel Links has no side deck in this format, so no post-side plan is scored
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system: its engine is Fallen of Albaz (three copies), which gates the Fusion routes, Blazing Cartesia, Branded Fusion and Albion the Shrouded Dragon, so the opening-hand starter rate is the main consistency constraint (about 43% going first and 50% going second, Inferred). Interaction is layered across Branded Retribution, Droll and Lock Bird, Tri-Brigade Mercourier, Forbidden Droplet and Super Polymerization, and the Extra Deck uses all 9 slots for boss-level Fusion Monsters, which supports the ceiling and closing scores. No combo boards were recorded, so the median and floor scores rest on card text and are Inferred with low precision. Popularity, the guide claims of Tier 1 status and the archetype core stats did not earn points on their own, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 58 | P(at least one Fallen of Albaz in a 5-card opener) ≈ 0.43, in a 6-card opener ≈ 0.50; searcher text in 15 cards gives about 0.98 for at least one searcher (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 58 | Three Droll and Lock Bird hand traps are dead on a non-interactive opener, and 16 singleton cards add variance; no conflicting summons identified from text (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 72 | Fusion routes via Branded Fusion, Branded in White and Branded in Red reach Level 8 bosses with 2500 to 3000 ATK; ceiling is high but no recorded boards exist (Inferred from text) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 52 | No combos_evidence boards, so median output cannot be measured and is estimated from text only (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 70 | Two Branded Retribution, Tri-Brigade Mercourier, Branded Lost and several recursion routes allow a second line after one disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 66 | Fusion routes spend GY and banished materials, but Branded Sword, Screams of the Branded and Bystial Special Summons recover them (Inferred from text) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 70 | Negation text in 6 cards and removal text in 7 cards, with Retribution and Mercourier counting as end-board interaction (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 65 | Super Polymerization, Bystial banish-to-Special-Summon effects and Droll Lock Bird give going-second answers, but no going-second split exists in the data (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 72 | Boss ATK of 2500 to 3000 across Mirrorjade (3000), Filia Regis (3000) and Titaniklad with direct and multi-attack text (Verified card stats, Inferred closing) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | 30 main cards with 21 distinct; exact archetype purity is 25.6%, with Bystial, Dogmatika and generic tech making up the rest (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 68 | All 9 Extra Deck slots are Fusion Monsters, and several bosses can be Fusion Summoned through the same Fallen of Albaz material (Verified composition, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 35 | No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link or dated meta share is supplied; guides describe the archetype as strong but the claim is unverified (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Multi-step Fusion chains, several Quick Effects and many decision points, which the guide describes as hard to pilot (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo primary, D13 included at Provisional 50. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: unrecoverable choke point (-2); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*63 + 0.20*55 - 4 ≈ 57
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
- Layered interaction: Retribution, Droll, Mercourier, Droplet and Super Polymerization
- Nine Fusion Extra Deck slots all used, with many Level 8 bosses at 2500 to 3000 ATK
- Recursion through Bystial GY Special Summons and Branded Sword / Screams
Weaknesses
- Single-copy-heavy main (16 singletons) and only 25.6% exact-name archetype purity
- Opening starter probability around 43% going first
- No side deck registered
Critical choke points
- Fallen of Albaz in the opener or the GY is required for most Fusion routes
- Super Polymerization (Limited, 1 copy) is the only unconditional Fusion path outside the Branded family
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One Bystial card with weak fit (Bystial Druiswurm) | A second Fallen-compatible searcher or a second Branded Fusion-line card | Raises archetype purity and the Fallen-gated starter rate without changing the Fusion finish |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 30 and Extra 9 within Duel Links size rules 20-30 and 0-9; no violations; Restricted cards Super Polymerization (Limited, 1 copy), Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut (Semi-Limited, 1 copy each) within legal copies; Composition: 16 singletons, 1 two-copy, 4 three-copy main cards; exact archetype purity 25.6%; Usage stats: core present 17 of 25 (68%)
- Inferred: Starter probability ≈ 0.43 going first and ≈ 0.50 going second from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density from negation and removal text tags; Recursion and resilience from card text; Pilotability from step count and guide description
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and Tournament Reliability (no tournament link); Side deck plan (no side cards registered)
- 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/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered; post-side performance cannot be assessed
