Branded Deck #770583 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large Fusion boss (The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, El Shaddoll Winda, El Shaddoll Meshahrail) off Shaddoll, Albaz and Branded fusion material lines.; Fallen of Albaz and Dogmatika/Blazing Cartesia Fusion access into Level 8 bosses, with Mulcharmy card draw and Shaddoll flip removal supporting the grind.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Lev Shaddoll Fusion, Nadir Servant or a Fallen of Albaz/Dogmatika starter, search or Special Summon the Fusion enabler, and make a boss while holding Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Ghost Ogre up as protection (plan depends on the 0.80 archetype-core hand probability and is Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 14 hand traps (84% chance of at least one in a 6-card hand, Inferred) to answer the first summon or fusion, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and a single Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Use Shaddoll Beast, Shaddoll Hedgehog, Naelshaddoll Ariel and Shaddoll Squamata flip/GY effects, plus Void Unleashing and Infernoid Evil searches, to rebuild a second board from the GY and banished zones.
• After siding: Not applicable: the Side Deck is empty, so there is no documented post-side plan for a best-of-3 match.

Why it scores here

The deck's starters are spread over three engines (Shaddoll, Albaz/Branded/Dogmatika, and Mulcharmy). Archetype-core access is reasonable, with about an 80% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but the 3-copy and 6-copy conditional cards in the Main Deck add brick risk. Interaction is the deck's strongest structural feature: 14 hand traps, Shaddoll flip removal and several negates give it a real answer to the first play, and the 84% going-second hand-trap estimate is the main reason it scores above the Floor. Closing power is high in principle because 13 Fusion monsters include several 2800-3000 ATK bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are not averaged from card scores. The deck is illegal as submitted (Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2), has no side deck, and has no tournament or meta data, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read and is capped low. Popularity or archetype usage did not earn points; the score reflects the list's internal consistency and interaction on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun secondary (not formally blended; Midrange weights used as-is). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53.9 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 40.1, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and flip-removal interaction (14 hand traps, Shaddoll Squamata, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom)
• Strong end-board bosses across Fusion options (The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Albion, El Shaddoll Winda, El Shaddoll Meshahrail)
• Extra Deck coverage is broad (13 Fusion and 1 Synchro)
• Shaddoll GY/banish recovery gives several rebuild routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Empty Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Three engines (Shaddoll, Albaz/Dogmatika/Branded, Mulcharmy) compete for Main Deck space
• Six conditional Mulcharmy cards are often dead when the player controls cards
• 16 tech slots and 10 three-copy non-engine cards reduce compactness

Critical choke points

• Fusion summon of the boss depends on the Lev Shaddoll Fusion / El Shaddoll Fusion / Fallen of Albaz chain
• The 14 hand traps all compete for hand space, so a hand with two or more dead hand traps can lose the first turn
• A single unresolved passcode (20366274) means one Main Deck slot is unverified

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Illegal); Main Deck size 56 and Extra Deck size 14 are within TCG size rules; Side deck is 0 cards; Archetype core probability and hand-trap probability are hypergeometric estimates from the resolved list; One passcode (20366274) did not resolve to a card
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access of about 0.80 for the archetype core; Going-second hand-trap coverage of about 0.84; Brick risk from conditional Mulcharmy cards and dead hand traps; Interaction quality and closing power from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link or meta data)
• 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 are absent one passcode (20366274) could not be resolved to a card and was counted as Main no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
