Forbidden Deck #770890 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fallen of Albaz-based Fusion/Synchro chain into 2500-3000 ATK Fusion boards (Albion, Lubellion, Mirrorjade, Rindbrumm, Albion the Sanctifire Dragon); Branded Fusion and Branded Opening searches into the Albaz Dragon package for recursive Fusion pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Fallen of the White Dragon or Fallen of Albaz on T1 to Special Summon or Fusion Summon an Albaz-line Fusion; uses Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle to protect the starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Nibiru) to break the opponent's first board, then a Fusion follow-up
• Recovery: Branded Retribution, Dragon's Mind and Retaliating "C" recycle fusion materials from the GY; Mulcharmy draw engine refills the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency depends on the Fallen of Albaz starter line: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.90 and the archetype core is present for about 0.50 of openings (Inferred), so the engine usually comes online by T2. Its interaction density is high, with 11 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, which earns credit on the going-second board (Inferred from text, not measured). The ceiling and median are scored from card text only because no recorded boards exist, so combo output is an estimate (Inferred). No side deck, no tournament link and no win-rate data exist, so the post-side, meta and matchup scores are conservative. The score is built from consistency, median output and interaction on the whole system, not from averaging card scores and not from archetype popularity. The raw structural read (about 51) would land near 37 after the banlist modifier, but because the list is Illegal the final score is capped at 30 and the result is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); raw result ≈ 37 after banlist modifier, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (11 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards) that gives strong interaction on the going-second board
• Searcher density (about 0.90 hit rate) keeps the Fallen of Albaz starter line accessible
• Extra Deck is efficient, with 14 Fusion and 1 Synchro routes to 2500–3000 ATK boards

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 4 cards over their copy limit, including 2 Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon and 1 Forbidden Gimmick Puppet Nightmare
• No Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates
• Many single-copy and off-archetype cards dilute the engine (71 off-archetype copies)

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz / Fallen of the White Dragon starter: if the starter is not drawn, the Fusion chain does not begin
• Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden, so the engine must be rebuilt without it before the deck can be played legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; 4 copy-limit violations (Branded in High Spirits 3/1, Branded Opening 3/1, Albion the Branded Dragon 2/0, Gimmick Puppet Nightmare 1/0); Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0; within the OCG size rules; Composition: 14 Fusion, 1 Synchro, 11 hand traps, 20 searcher-text cards, 15 negation-text cards
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.90 (searcher group) and archetype core ≈ 0.50 (hypergeometric); Interaction quality read from card text (hand traps, negation); Ceiling and median from text only (no combos)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample; no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null and archetype is recorded as 'Forbidden', which is not a real archetype; the engine was identified from card text No Side Deck cards, so post-side evaluation is not possible
