Branded Deck #770374 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 64/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Level 8 boss monsters (Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Albion the Branded Dragon, Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade, Lubellion) off the Fallen of Albaz engine, using Fallen of White Dragon, Albion the Shrouded Dragon, Fallen & Virtuous and Branded Fusion to get the Albaz-named material onto the field.; Blazing Cartesia and Incredible Ecclesia (hand-summoned Tuners) convert into Fusion or Synchro bosses, with Mulcharmy draw pressure as a fallback when the field is empty.
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon White Dragon or Albion from hand by sending an Extra Deck Albaz-named monster to the GY, then use Branded in High Spirits or Branded Opening to reach Fallen of Albaz and a Branded Fusion or Super Polymerization into a Level 8 boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C (and Ghost Ogre / Ghost Belle) for the opponent's starter, then rebuild through the GY with Albion and Fallen & Virtuous into a boss that is unaffected by other effects (The Dragon that Devours the Dogma).
• Recovery: Albion the Branded Dragon and Albion the Shrouded Dragon recur from the GY; Fallen of Albaz and Branded Retribution re-enable the Extra Deck line; Branded in High Spirits searches the next Fallen.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0), so there is no post-side plan; in Master Duel ladder play this is the expected construction.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: it reliably opens a live Fallen of Albaz line from a pool of roughly ten hand-startable cards (about 77 percent chance of at least one in a 5-card opening, Inferred) and then converts that line into 2500-3000 ATK Fusion bosses, several of which are effect-immune or negate-capable. Its interaction layer (Ash Blossom x3, Droll x2, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Branded Retribution, Rindbrumm and Mirrorjade) gives it a strong going-second posture, and the GY recursion from Albion and Fallen & Virtuous keeps it alive after one disruption. Points are held back by a 41-card main with several situational cards (Mulcharmy needs an empty field, Triple Tactics needs an opponent activation), no combo data to confirm the ceiling, and no sideboard. Archetype popularity and meta-share did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 70.4, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 74, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*70.4 + 0.20*60 - 4 = 64.3

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.77 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant Albaz-line starters (White Dragon x2, Albion, Fallen & Virtuous x2, Branded in High Spirits x3) give an accessible start
• Eight hand traps plus Maxx C and Droll give a layered going-second defence
• All 15 Extra Deck slots are used, with a 3000 ATK boss package and Dragon that Devours immune to other effects

Weaknesses

• Only one Fallen of Albaz in the Main Deck, so the Albaz requirement depends on the White Dragon and Albion copies
• Six Mulcharmy are situational (need an empty field), and Triple Tactics Talent needs an opponent's monster effect in your Main Phase
• No sideboard, so no post-side adjustment
• Multi-step Fusion chains are error-prone to pilot

Critical choke points

• Branded Fusion (Limited, 1 copy) is the main Fusion enabler; if it is not in hand the line depends on Super Polymerization
• Albion and White Dragon together supply most of the hand-start access

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 41 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; copy limits satisfied for all Limited and Semi-Limited cards; Card text and banlist status for all 41 Main and 15 Extra cards; Usage statistic rows: Fallen of Albaz, White Dragon, Fallen & Virtuous, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Branded Fusion present at 100 percent inclusion
• Inferred: Hand-start probability of at least one of 10 hand-startable cards: 0.77; Full-brick rate roughly 4 percent, a lower bound because hand traps count as functional; Stun/Midrange secondary tags from hand-trap count and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup coverage and format fit (D13, no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics in_this_deck flags appear false for every Extra Deck card that is in fact present (for example Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade, Lubellion, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Alba-Lenatus, Titaniklad, Granguignol, Dragon that Devours, Albion the Branded Dragon), so missing_core is unreliable for Extra Deck cards; the preprocessor appears to match usage only against the Main Deck deck title is null, so the deck name is unknown; archetype taken from archetype_id 754
