Legality
Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Level 8 Fusion boss from the Extra Deck (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Lubellion, Mirrorjade, Rindbrumm), enabled by the Fallen of Albaz / Branded fusion engine; Tri-Brigade and Bystial monsters as board pressure and recursion, with Blazing Cartesia and Ecclesia for extra summons
- Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter (Fallen of White Dragon, Blazing Cartesia, Guiding Quem or Albion the Shrouded) to fetch or summon Branded Fusion and one Fusion boss; the list is theoretical only because it is illegal as built
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Artifact Lancea, Mind Mirror Force) to stop the opponent's first play, then a Fusion boss from the Extra Deck; no side plan is possible with an empty side deck
- Recovery: Branded Retribution, Branded Sword and the GY-recursion cards (Bystial Saronir, Dogmatika Ecclesia) rebuild the Fusion engine from the GY, which depends on the illegal extra copies
- After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in best-of-3 play
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its consistency is moderate: the Fallen of Albaz name appears on about 4 Main Deck cards, which gives roughly a one-in-three chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric). Its interaction is the strongest part of the list, with 7 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards and several spell and trap removal effects. Its ceiling is unmeasured because no combo boards were supplied. Popularity is not credited: the Branded core is a real, widely run archetype, but the list is illegal, so it cannot receive a normal score. The score is capped at 20 because of 3 copy-limit violations, a Forbidden card, an oversized Extra Deck, and an empty Side Deck.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 40 | P(at least one Albaz-named starter in 5 cards) is about 0.33 across roughly 4 copies; this is my own hypergeometric estimate, not an evidence-pack figure (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 35 | 22 level-0 spells and traps and 17 Spells mean many hands are dead or redundant without an Extra Deck starter (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 40 | No parseable combo boards; the Branded Fusion and Fallen of Albaz chain is inferred from card text only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 30 | No combo boards, so the median output is unknown and is set low for lack of data (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Searcher text on 19 cards and recursion via Bystial and Ecclesia give some continuation after disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 45 | Recursion from the GY and banished Branded spells supports rebuilding, but the engine relies on the illegal extra copies (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 65 | Mind Mirror Force, Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Droll and Lock Bird give layered interaction (Inferred from text flags and role counts) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Seven hand traps and Droll and Lock Bird help against going-second boards; no going-second split is measured (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 55 | Level 8 Fusion bosses at 2500 to 3000 ATK are the closing threat; no end-board data was supplied (Verified stats, Inferred use) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 35 | Only 7.1 percent of Main Deck copies are exact-name Despia, and 3 copies of two Limited cards push the list over the copy limit (Verified) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 45 | Extra Deck has 17 cards against a limit of 15, with 16 Fusion monsters and one Synchro; one of those is Forbidden (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | The Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample exists, so format fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 25 | Long Fusion-into-Fusion chains with many Extra Deck decision points give low pilotability (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: copy-limit violations (-4); banlist exposure (-5); extra deck overflow (-3); no side deck (0); illegal cap (-9). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*44 + 0.20*30 - 12 = 29, then capped to 20 because the deck is Illegal (Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.33 · 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
- Core engine cards Branded Fusion and Fallen of Albaz are present at high usage (Verified)
- Interaction density: 7 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards (Verified flags, Inferred use)
- Searcher density (19 cards) gives consistent access to the engine (Inferred)
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: copy limits, a Forbidden card, and Extra Deck overflow (Verified)
- Empty Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
- No combo evidence, so the ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)
- Low Extra Deck coverage: 9 of 25 core cards are missing (Verified usage stats)
Critical choke points
- Albaz-named starters are few (about 4 copies), so the opening starter is a single point of failure (Inferred)
- Branded Fusion is the engine card and is run once (Verified)
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Albion the Branded Dragon, 2 Branded Opening, 2 Branded in High Spirits | Legal replacements that restore a legal list (Branded or Fallen copies at legal counts, and Level 8 Fusion targets that are legal) | Restores legality. The deck can't be scored normally until the copy limits and Forbidden card are fixed (Verified) |
| 2 | 2 Extra Deck cards (for example the weakest Fusion targets) | None needed; or restore 2 core Extra Deck cards that are missing (Lubellion the Searing Dragon, Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon) after checking they are legal | Extra Deck is 17 against a limit of 15 (Verified) |
| 3 | None | A Side Deck of 15 cards for best-of-3 play, covering the opponent's main interaction | Empty Side Deck gives no post-side plan (Verified) |
Evidence & confidence

- Inferred: Starter probability of about 0.33 in a 5-card hand; Interaction and hand-trap density from text flags; Consistency and brick estimates
- Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
- 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 no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null Side Deck is empty
