Despia Deck #771758 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion bosses (Granguignol the Dusk Dragon, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Secreterion Dragon, Hyperinvoked Aeon) reached through Fallen of Albaz / Branded Fusion / Super Polymerization lines; Synchro and Fusion pressure via Blazing Cartesia / Incredible Ecclesia tuners and Ecclesia-linked Extra Deck monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher or Fallen of the White Dragon (treated as Fallen of Albaz), send an Albaz-mentioning Extra Deck monster, and convert into a Level 8 Fusion while holding Solemn Judgment / Solemn Accusation for the next Spell/Trap or Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold up hand traps (Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird, Tri-Brigade Mercourier) and negate the opponent's first Summon or activation, then rebuild through the Branded and Dogmatika searchers
• Recovery: Recover through Branded Retribution, Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw, Pot of Sloth and recursive Fallen-of-Albaz monsters from the GY (text-based, not tested)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: two cards run three copies against OCG Semi-Limited limits of two, so it receives a structural-only score and is capped low. Its engine is a Fallen of Albaz / Branded Fusion chain, but only 1 Fallen of Albaz and 1 Branded Fusion are run, and a 3-copy card has only about a 27% chance to appear in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the starter is inconsistent. The deck's interaction density is high (two Solemn traps, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Branded Retribution, Mercourier) and earns the best dimension score (D7), which carries most of the structural score. Only 5 of 51 main deck copies carry the Despia name and 61 are off-archetype, so the score reflects a multi-archetype toolbox, not archetype coherence. No combo boards, tournament data, or side deck exist, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inferences and the score is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (copy-limit violations) (-10); Engine conflicts across archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*50 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 36)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.19 · 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 interaction: two Solemn traps, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Branded Retribution, Mercourier
• High-ATK fusion bosses available in the Extra Deck (Hyperinvoked Aeon 3800, Devours 3000, Secreterion 3000)
• Searcher density (15 text-based searchers) supports hand access to the engine

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy limits on two cards (3 copies of Semi-Limited cards)
• Core engine starters are 1-copy (Fallen of Albaz, Branded Fusion) so the deck is inconsistent
• Extremely diffuse archetype support (7.6% exact-name purity)
• Zero side deck; no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) as the Albaz-line starter
• Branded Fusion (1 copy, Limited) as the sole search-and-fuse enabler

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 copy-limit violations (The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization); Main 51 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and copy histogram; Card stats and text excerpts for all 44 distinct cards
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draws (P(>=1 starter in 5) = 0.19 to 0.27); Interaction quality and going-second strength from card text; Ceiling from card text only; no recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta power (null; no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or meta-share)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup splits are unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Usage-statistics inconsistency: Rindbrumm, Titaniklad, Lubellion, Mirrorjade, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Despian Quaeritis, Granguignol and The Dragon that Devours the Dogma are listed as missing core, yet the cards array includes them in the Extra Deck (Extra count 15 matches). Core-coverage figures are unreliable and were not used for scoring. Side deck is empty, so D12 has no performance data
