Tri-Brigade Deck #768825 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Fusion
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Albaz-line Dragons (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Titaniklad, Lubellion) from a Fallen of Albaz starter chain; Synchro and Fusion beatdown off Mulcharmy/Despia draw-and-search support
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Fallen of Albaz or Fallen of the White Dragon, Fusion Summon an Albaz-line Dragon, and use Branded Fusion or Branded in High Spirits to add a follow-up while holding Ash Blossom or Droll for interaction (theoretical; no board data)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first board (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Accusation) and rebuild through Mulcharmy draws into an Albaz Dragon (theoretical; no board data)
• Recovery: Use Fallen of Albaz GY effects and The Fallen and The Virtuous to re-enter the Albaz line after a hand-trap or board wipe (text-derived, Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0 and no post-side data exists

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is a Fallen of Albaz chain: Fallen of Albaz, Fallen of the White Dragon and Albion the Shrouded Dragon start Fusion lines into Albaz-line Dragons, backed by 20 searcher-text cards that make at least one searcher very likely in an opening hand (P(at least one in 5) around 0.90). Conversion is plausible on paper but unmeasured, since there are no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-derived only and were not averaged from card scores. Interaction is broad (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Accusation, Forbidden Droplet, Branded Retribution), and the closing power comes from 2500 to 3000 ATK Fusion Monsters. Popularity does not earn points: the Tri-Brigade archetype core is only partly present (3 of 5 usage-core cards), and the Illegal status (2 Forbidden Albion copies, 3 Limited High Spirits copies) caps the score as a theoretical structural read only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, Midrange secondary, disclosed as a structural read only. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: no normal Final issued. Structural 53 (Combo profile) with banlist modifier -12 gives 41, capped at 30 as a theoretical structural-only score. Normal formula would be 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 (20 cards) makes a functional opener likely
• Four hand traps and multiple negate or removal cards
• Strong Fusion closing power with 3000-ATK Dragons

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Albion copies and over-limit Limited cards
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-name archetype purity; many off-archetype cards dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz as the single engine starter
• Branded Fusion and Branded in High Spirits as the Fusion enablers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Albion the Branded Dragon run 2 vs legal 0 (Forbidden); Branded in High Spirits run 3 vs legal 1 (Limited); Copy histogram and Extra breakdown (12 Fusion, 3 Synchro); Archetype spread and exact-name purity 1.4%
• Observed: Tri-Brigade usage stats: Droll and Lock Bird 69.7%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 54.5% (3 copies typical), Springans Kitt 51.5%; 3 of 5 core cards present
• Inferred: Searcher access P=0.90 in 5-card hand; Brick risk moderate-to-high from generic and singleton density; Hand-trap coverage 37.3% in 6-card going-second hand; Structural scores D1 to D14 from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability scoring
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta Power provisional; no dated metagame sample Side deck empty (side_count 0), so post-side cannot be evaluated
