Branded Deck #759636 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large Fusion Monsters (Albion, Lubellion, Titaniklad, Mirrorjade class) off a Fallen of Albaz / Branded Fusion engine, with Ecclesia and Dogmatika support monsters as starters.; Hyperinvoked Aeon and Mixousia-based Fusion follow-ups for board-breaking when the base engine is intact.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Fallen of the White Dragon, Nadir Servant, or Mulcharmy Fuwalos to search or Special Summon an engine piece, then use Branded Fusion or Super Polymerization to reach a 2500+ ATK Fusion Monster.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Fallen of the White Dragon to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then convert the remaining hand into a Fusion Summon on the next turn.
• Recovery: Recover through the Graveyard: Fallen of Albaz, Ecclesia monsters, and Branded Retribution/Lost re-enable Fusion Summons after the engine is interrupted.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system and is capped because the list is illegal in its format. Eight cards exceed their copy limits, and two Forbidden cards (Albion the Branded Dragon, Called by the Grave) plus Crossout Designator are present, so the normal Final Contextual formula does not apply. The structural read is about 60: the Fallen of Albaz engine and Ash Blossom plus Nadir Servant give reasonable starter access and interruption cover, and the high-ATK Fusion finishers give real closing power. Brick risk, fragile Fusion-chain sequencing, and the absence of a Side Deck pull the score down. Archetype popularity (Branded at 97% core inclusion) and the 70% usage of the Albion-class Extra Deck were not credited as power. No card scores were averaged; the score is a system-level read. The final 30 reflects the illegal-list cap, not a claim that the deck is weak in a legal build.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Combo / 0.2 Midrange (illustrative blend for the secondary). Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 45. Illegal-list cap applied: 30 (theoretical/structural-only; no normal Final Contextual score).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 (19 cards) keeps the engine reachable
• Three Ash Blossom plus Branded Retribution give layered interaction
• Multiple Fusion finishers at 2500 ATK or more provide closing power
• Graveyard recursion supports rebuilding after interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal in tcg: 8 cards exceed copy limits and 3 are Forbidden
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Long Fusion chains with conditional clauses reduce pilotability
• No combo, tournament, or win-rate evidence to confirm the floor

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz must be in the GY or hand for most Fusion lines
• Branded Fusion is Limited to 1 legal copy, so the Fusion route is fragile

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules; Copy-limit violations and banlist statuses for 8 cards; Card text for the listed Fallen, Branded and Ecclesia monsters; Archetype core inclusion 97% for Ash Blossom and 78% for Fallen of the White Dragon
• Inferred: Starter probabilities from hypergeometric draw odds; Brick and interruption estimates from text and composition; Going-first and going-second strength from text and probability
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and Side Deck adaptability; Median and floor (no recorded boards)
• 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, going-second and matchup splits are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck, so D12 cannot be measured
