Tri-Brigade Deck #769568 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon 2500+ ATK boss monsters (Titaniklad, Mirrorjade, Granguignol, Lubellion) off the Fallen of Albaz / Blazing Cartesia / Branded Fusion chain; Recursion of Fallen of Albaz and Branded spells from the GY into repeated Fusion Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Fallen of Albaz or Blazing Cartesia and search or Fusion Summon a boss through Fusion Deployment or Branded Fusion, keeping hand traps (Ash, Droll, Infinite Impermanence) up for the opponent's response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps and Solemn Judgment or Forbidden Droplet to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Fusion chain
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY using Fallen of Albaz, Blazing Cartesia (Quick Fusion), Branded spells banished or in GY, and Pot of Prosperity or Branded Opening for access to searchers
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal under OCG rules: six cards exceed their copy limits, including the Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent, so it receives a structural read only and its final score is capped at 30. Structurally the deck is a Fusion-engine Combo shell: Fallen of Albaz and Blazing Cartesia open the hand, Searchers (17 searcher-text cards, 86% chance of at least one in an opening 5) find the chain, and 2500+ ATK bosses close the game, which earns the offensive and interaction scores. Hand traps (8 hand-trap cards, 63% chance of at least one in a going-second 6-card hand) and Solemn Judgment carry the interaction. The score is not earned by Tri-Brigade popularity: the archetype label is Tri-Brigade, but the list contains no Tri-Brigade cards and its main body is Branded, Albaz Dragon, Despia, and Mulcharmy, with 70 off-archetype copies. The score was not produced by averaging individual card scores; it reflects consistency, brick risk, and interaction on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: Illegal legality cap applied: 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) + modifiers(-5) = 41, capped to 30 under the Illegal rule. Meta Power provisional (null). Score is theoretical/structural-only.

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

• Dense searcher text (17 cards) makes the Fusion chain reachable in most openings
• Layered interaction with 8 hand traps plus Solemn Judgment and Forbidden Droplet
• Several 2500+ ATK Fusion bosses with recursion from the GY

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: six cards over their OCG copy limits, including a Forbidden card
• Label and content mismatch: stated archetype Tri-Brigade has zero cards in the list
• No Side Deck, so no adaptability and no post-side plan
• High brick rate: Fusion-dependent starters and many dead-in-hand pieces

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (3 copies, 0.25 chance per opening 5) is the only starter for most lines
• Fusion Deployment and Branded Fusion both need Fallen of Albaz or its named Fusion materials in hand or field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: six copy-limit violations, Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0, Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden in OCG; Archetype spread: 70 off-archetype copies, 0 Tri-Brigade copies; Probability figures from the hypergeometric table
• Observed: No recorded boards exist for this deck (combo data total 0)
• Inferred: Consistency estimates (D1, D2) from starter probabilities and brick reasoning; Interaction density from role tags and card text (D7, D8); Structural scores and going-first / going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample was supplied
• 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/second, matchup, brick, starter or OTK rates) Deck title is null and the stated archetype (Tri-Brigade) does not match the cards run Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
