Tri-Brigade Deck #769257 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Albaz-line boss monsters (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Mirrorjade, Titaniklad, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) from the Extra Deck using Fallen of Albaz as a material; Hand-trap-supported Fusion pressure: Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle and Nibiru stop the opponent's interaction and keep the Fusion line running
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Fallen of Albaz or Branded Fusion, search via Aluber / Nadir Servant / Branded Opening, then Fusion Summon an Albaz-line boss; the deck has no verified line beyond this text-level read
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Fallen of Albaz and Blazing Cartesia
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (Aluber, Despian Tragedy, Springans Kitt, Dogmatika Ecclesia) and recursion from the GY; no recorded board confirms the recovery route (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan at all

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Fusion-based plan only in a loose sense: P(at least one Fallen of Albaz in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.27 with 3 copies, and the searcher group gives about 0.90 for at least one searcher, so the first step is findable but the 2-card bootstrap is unverified (Inferred). Its real strength is the interaction package of 8 hand traps and 16 removal-text cards, which raises the going-second hand-trap chance to about 0.66 and earns the interaction and going-second dimensions. It converts a plan into pressure through Albaz-line bosses at 2500-3000 ATK, but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences and the median is scored low. The deck is penalized for the illegal copy limits on three Semi-Limited cards, an oversized Extra Deck of 19, a missing Side Deck, and 69 off-archetype copies that split the engine. The score is not a popularity bonus and not an average of card scores; the Tri-Brigade archetype stats show only 1 of 5 core cards present, and the cap for an Illegal list applies.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit and size violations (-8); Engine conflict and dilution (-3); No side deck (0). Final formula: Illegal list: no normal Final score. Structural 48 (Combo profile) with tournament reliability 35; capped at 25 as a theoretical/structural-only read. Legal formula would be 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TR before modifiers.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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 interaction: 8 hand traps plus 16 removal-text and 11 negation-text cards
• Albaz-line Fusion bosses (2500-3000 ATK) that are hard to answer with one card
• Multiple searchers (18 searcher-text cards) to find the starter

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three copy-limit violations and a 19-card Extra Deck
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Engine split across 13 sub-archetypes; only 1.4% of cards are exact Tri-Brigade
• No recorded combos, so the median output is unverified

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz is the common material for most Albaz-line Fusions; 3 copies gives only about 0.27 odds in the opening hand
• Branded Fusion and Branded Opening are both Limited (1 copy), so losing either removes a key starter route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 3 copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization) and Extra Deck 19 > 15; Main 51 cards (legal 40-60), Side 0, Extra 19; Usage stats: 1 of 5 core Tri-Brigade cards present (20%); Restricted cards: 8 Limited cards each at 1 copy (legal); 3 Semi-Limited cards over the limit
• Inferred: Consistency: P(>=1 Fallen of Albaz in 5) about 0.27; searcher P about 0.90; hand-trap going-second P about 0.66; Going-second interaction density from hand traps and removal/negation text; Boss output at 2500-3000 ATK from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample supplied; Median and ceiling output: 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 for going-first/second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
