Dogmatika Deck #770066 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fallen of Albaz into Fusion/Synchro boss monsters (Mirrorjade, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Black Chaos / Black Luster Soldier via Light and Darkness Ritual); Ecclesia / Dogmatika Maximus board presence backed by Despia and Chaos Synchro bosses
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon Fallen of Albaz, Fusion it into a Level 8 boss, and protect the board with Solemn cards and Ash Blossom (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C and Solemn cards to break the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Fallen of the White Dragon and Dogmatika Ecclesia (Inferred from text)
• Recovery: Recycle Light and Darkness Ritual and Ecclesia monsters from the GY through Skull Archfiend and Mind Shuffle, then re-enter Fusion or Synchro bosses (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as built: it runs 3 copies of Branded in High Spirits (Limited, 1 legal) and 1 copy of Albion the Branded Dragon (Forbidden), so it receives a capped structural-only score of 25 and no normal final score. Its structural read comes from the system, not from card averages: the Fallen of Albaz line into Fusion and Synchro bosses gives a credible ceiling (D3 60, Inferred from text), and the six Solemn cards plus Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C and Harpie's Feather Duster give strong interaction density (D7 70, Inferred from text). Engine accessibility is limited: the Fallen of Albaz starter is a single copy and the core archetype group is only about 51% likely to appear in a 5-card opening hand (D1 45). Engine conflicts across Branded, Dogmatika, Light and Darkness Ritual, Solemn and the Harpie/Maxx C staples lower the score, and the deck has no side deck, so D12 is 20. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype core usage and the Dogmatika archetype count are context only, and no tournament or win-rate data exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54.6, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: raw 0.80*54.6 + 0.20*45 + modifiers (-12) = 40.7, capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 suite: six Solemn cards, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Harpie's Feather Duster
• Several 3000 ATK boss monsters with negate or removal text
• Two-route engine: Fallen of Albaz into Fusion bosses, and Light and Darkness Ritual into Black Chaos or Black Luster Soldier

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Albion plus 2 extra Branded in High Spirits
• Single-copy engine starters (Fallen of Albaz, Light and Darkness Ritual, Magician of Dark Chaos) are fragile
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptability
• Spread across four or more archetypes with many off-archetype staples

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) is the common starter for Fusion bosses; without it the Dogmatika and Branded routes stall
• Light and Darkness Ritual (1 copy) is the sole Ritual route to Black Chaos and Black Luster Soldier

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden, Branded in High Spirits is Limited (1 legal copy) and run 3 times; Main deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within size rules; Side Deck is 0; Card text and stats for all listed cards from the resolved card records
• Inferred: Starter probabilities from hypergeometric estimates (about 0.51 for the archetype core, about 0.81 for searcher text); Interaction density (D7) and boss ceiling (D3) read from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) no side deck in the export, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
