Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon Level 8 Dragons (Albion the Branded Dragon, Lubellion, Alba-Lenatus, Filia Regis, Mirrorjade) off Fallen of Albaz plus a Branded Fusion/Branded in Red fusion enabler, then attack through 2500-3000 ATK boards; Bystial and Despia board presence and removal/negation to win the board after the fusion turn
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Fallen of Albaz (P>=1 in 5 cards about 0.43) and search/fuse into a Level 8 Dragon via Branded Fusion, Branded in Red or Branded in White, protecting the play with Branded Retribution or Droll and Lock Bird
- Turn 2 (going second): Use the two hand traps (Droll and Lock Bird, Tri-Brigade Mercourier) and Bystial banish-to-Special-Summon monsters to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild with a fusion
- Recovery: Recover Fallen of Albaz and Branded spells from the GY (Despian Tragedy, Aluber, Branded Beast, Branded Lost) and re-run the fusion route through Branded Fusion
- After siding: Not applicable: Duel Links has no Side Deck in this export (Side Deck size 0)
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens a Fallen of Albaz starter in about 43% of going-first hands (three copies) and has a dense searcher layer (15 searcher-text cards, about 98% to find one in 5 cards), so it usually reaches a playable first turn. Conversion relies on a single fusion chain through Branded Fusion, Branded in Red and Branded in White into 2500-3000 ATK Level 8 Dragons, which gives a high ceiling but no recorded boards to confirm a median. Interaction is layered across two hand traps, a negation-capable Tri-Brigade Mercourier and Aluber, and removal-text cards, which lets the deck survive one disruption and challenge a board going second. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction across the system, not from Branded being a popular archetype, guide praise (which is treated as speculation only) or an average of individual card scores. Confidence is Low because the export contains no combos and no tournament or win-rate data.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 58 | P(>=1 Fallen of Albaz in 5 cards) = 0.43 with 3 copies; 15 searcher-text cards give about 0.98 access to some searcher; single-copy fusion enablers add access risk (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | Many single-copy non-engine spells and traps (Branded Banishment, Retribution, Lost, Beast, Opening, Double Evolution Pill) raise brick and dead-card risk; no full-brick rate was measured (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 68 | Fallen of Albaz with Branded Fusion/Branded in Red reaches Level 8 Dragons with 2500-3000 ATK; the ceiling is a semantic read of card text, with no recorded boards (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 50 | combo data is empty (0 boards), so floor and median cannot be measured; the two-card bootstrap is the likely median constraint (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 62 | Two Bystial monsters, Despian Tragedy and Aluber give alternative starts and recursion; the single Fallen dependency limits recovery (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 66 | Searchers and GY recursion (Despian Tragedy, Aluber, Branded Beast) recover resources after a turn; no resource telemetry exists (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 68 | Five negation-text cards, two hand traps and eleven removal-text cards give layered interaction; end-board durability is not measured (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Bystial banish-to-Special-Summon monsters, Branded Beast's destroy and two 2500 ATK Bystials challenge a going-second board; the going-second split is absent (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 72 | Level 8 Fusion Dragons at 2500-3000 ATK with multi-attack or piercing text give closing power; no end-board telemetry (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | 30 Main cards and 25 distinct, 21 singletons, with 13 generic and 9 off-archetype cards; exact-name purity is only 23.1% (Verified, composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 62 | Nine distinct Fusion Monsters across three Branded and Despia sub-themes fill the 9-slot Extra Deck at full use (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 35 | No Side Deck exists in Duel Links for this export, so adaptability is not applicable and scored conservatively (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link or metagame sample; guides call the deck Top Tier, which is speculation only (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Chains of fusion, banish and GY-activation steps need several decision points per turn, so error tolerance is low (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 54, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Single-card engine choke point (-3); Engine spread across sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*60 + 0.20*55 - 5 = 54
