Branded Deck #762437 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Level 8 Fusion boss monsters (Dracotail Arthalion, Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Mirrorjade, Gulamel) from the Extra Deck through Fallen of Albaz and Dracotail fusion lines; Mulcharmy draw-engine pressure and hand-trap-protected Fusion boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dracotail or Branded starter, search a Dracotail monster with Lukias or Ketu, then Fusion Summon a boss while Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle guard the line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Ghost Ogre to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild a Fusion boss from the GY and hand
• Recovery: Recycle Dracotail monsters from the GY through Dracotail Phryxul and Dracotail Urgula, and draw through Mulcharmy and Dracotail Flame or Horn
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be assessed; this is a structural gap

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list, so the score is a capped structural read rather than a normal final score. The archetype core is reliably accessible (P of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.91, Inferred), and the deck runs many negations and hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Solemn, Droll, Ghost Ogre), which gives it strong interaction and going-second resilience. The Fusion bosses at 2800 to 3000 ATK give real closing power, but no combo data exists, so ceiling and median are text-based estimates only. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the card scores were not averaged. The score is pulled down by three forbidden or over-limit copies (Albion x2, Called by the Grave), five other copy-limit violations, and the absence of a side deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); copy limit violations (-2); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: formula 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + modifiers(-12) = 44, capped to 30 as theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Strong interaction density: three Ash Blossom, two Ghost Belle, two Solemn Accusation, Solemn Judgment and two Droll
• Multiple independent starters and recursion from the GY across Dracotail, Branded and Mulcharmy
• High-ATK Fusion bosses (2800 to 3000 ATK) with pierce and multi-attack text

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: forbidden and over-limit copies make it unplayable as built
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (11.4%) and dead-draw tech such as Ra Sphere Mode and Nibiru
• Heavy reliance on a long multi-step Fusion chain

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) gates most Branded Fusion lines through Branded Fusion and Albion Sanctifire
• Extra Deck access is single-threaded through Branded Fusion (1 copy) and Ketu/Rahu (1 copy each)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations and banlist status for 6 cards (legality block); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Card text and stats for Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Solemn, Droll, Fusion bosses (card excerpts); Archetype core inclusion 45.5% present (usage_statistics)
• Observed: Composition spreads (type, attribute, race, level) from the decklist
• Inferred: Consistency P values from hypergeometric draw odds; Hand-trap and interaction density from role tags; Structural and going-first and going-second dimension scores; Ceiling and median from text only (no combo data)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Side deck adaptability (no side deck)
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null No side deck registered
