Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Fallen of Albaz and Branded/Albaz Dragon Fusion boards (Mirrorjade, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Rindbrumm, Lubellion), with Albion removed by the banlist; Synchro and Ecclesia boards (The Three Champions of Swordsoul, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon) converting from Dogmatika/Ecclesia search
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Branded Opening, Branded in High Spirits, Incredible Ecclesia, Dogmatika Ecclesia) into a Fallen of Albaz or Branded Fusion line, protected only by Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Nibiru and Droll to interrupt the opponent, then rebuild through Fallen of the White Dragon and Blazing Cartesia into a Fusion board
  • Recovery: Recover from the GY through Fallen of Albaz, Branded Retribution, Mulcharmy draw effects and Synchro/Fusion GY-revival text (Inferred from card text)
  • After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is real and accessible: the archetype-core group is present in 96.6 percent of five-card openings and a searcher appears in 81 percent of openings (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates), and its Fusion/Synchro end boards are plentiful. The system has interaction depth, with 13 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards, which keeps the floor reasonable on the play and strong on the draw. The score is held down by the legality failure, not by the card pool: Albion the Branded Dragon and Called by the Grave are Forbidden and seven copy-limit violations exist, so the deck cannot be played as built. Archetype popularity earned no points, the list has no usage-stat or tournament backing beyond the core-card presence, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score. The 25 is a structural-only cap of an illegal list (uncapped structural formula about 35), not a normal Final Contextual score.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 Archetype core present in 96.6 pct of 5-card openings; searcher group 81 pct; only one Fallen of Albaz and one Dogmatika Ecclesia (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 48 13 hand traps plus 14 tech cards compete for the same hand slots; a hand-trap at-least-one-in-6 of 82 pct on the draw, but dead on the play (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 50 No recorded boards; ceiling is text-derived and the top Fusion line is weakened because Albion is Forbidden (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 40 No combos supplied, so median output is unknown and rated conservatively (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Several independent hand-trap and negation routes plus Mulcharmy and Ecclesia recursion; no board evidence of redundancy (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 50 Fusion and GY-revival text recovers resources, but the Extra Deck is consumed fast and removal is spread thin (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 50 Typhoon, Dominus Spark, Branded Retribution and Mistaken Arrest give layered interaction, but durability is weak against the removal of a Forbidden card (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 52 Hand traps and Nibiru help on the draw; Fusion boards are strong once established (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 58 Dragon Fusion closers at 3000 ATK (Mirrorjade, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma) are available, but Albion, a key closer, is removed by the banlist (Verified card text and banlist; Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 Only 15.7 pct exact-name archetype purity; 59 off-archetype copies across 8 sub-archetypes, with Mulcharmy and Despia plugs (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 13 Fusion and 2 Synchro Extra Deck cards; the Extra Deck spreads across Albaz, Invoked, Swordsoul and Springans with no single clear engine (Verified composition)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No Side Deck at all (side_count 0), so no post-side adaptability (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 50 No tournament link and no dated meta sample; format fit is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 40 Many decision points between hand traps, Fusion chains and GY effects, with no recorded combo steps to check against (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 35.2 uncapped; Illegal-deck cap applied, final 25 (structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score)

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

  • A real, accessible archetype engine: core present in 96.6 pct of 5-card openings (Inferred)
  • Layered hand-trap and negation coverage: 13 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards (Verified card text)
  • Varied Fusion and Synchro end boards at 3000 ATK (Verified card text)

Weaknesses

  • Illegal as built: Forbidden and Limited copy-limit violations (Verified)
  • No Side Deck (Verified)
  • Low archetype purity: 15.7 pct exact-name, with 59 off-archetype copies (Verified)
  • Hand-trap density creates dead cards on the play (Inferred)

Critical choke points

  • Fallen of Albaz is a single copy, and the Branded Fusion line depends on it (Verified)
  • Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden, so the Branded Fusion end board must be rebuilt without it (Verified)
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Albion the Branded Dragon (2 copies) and Called by the Grave (1 copy) Legal Fusion or Dogmatika replacements that mention Fallen of Albaz Forbidden cards make the list illegal; this is required before any score can be normal
2 Copies over the limit: 1 Ash Blossom, 1 The Fallen & The Virtuous, 1 Branded Opening, 1 Branded in High Spirits, 1 Droll & Lock Bird Legal copies of the same cards (down to the limit), with replacements for the removed copies Brings every restricted card within its copy limit
3 Off-archetype generic plugs (Mulcharmy, Springans, Swordsoul entries) Branded or Fallen of Albaz support cards Raises archetype purity and engine coherence
4 Nothing (no Side Deck present) A Side Deck of 5 to 15 cards for hand-trap and removal coverage Side deck is empty, so adaptability is unscored

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: Illegal, 7 copy-limit violations, 2 Forbidden cards in the list; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within TCG size rules; Side 0; Card text, banlist status and copy counts from the export; Exact-name archetype purity 15.7 pct
  • Inferred: Hypergeometric estimates: searcher 0.81, archetype core 0.97, hand-trap 0.82 on the draw; Brick and dead-card risk from hand-trap density; Engine conflict and conversion ceiling from card text, with no recorded boards
  • Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and 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 record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample no Side Deck in the export, so post-side performance is unscored
