Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro or Ritual boards built around Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Chaos Angel, The Crimson King and Red Dragon Archfiend (Inferred from card text and Extra Deck); Fallen of Albaz / Branded fusion pressure, which is illegal as built (Albion Forbidden, Branded in High Spirits over limit)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Light and Darkness Ritual or Chaos starter with Ragged Records, Mind Shuffle and the Ritual Spell, protected by Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird and Emissaries to answer the opponent's first summon, then go to the Black Chaos or Crimson King line (Inferred)
• Recovery: Skull Archfiend of Chaos and Black Chaos recursion from GY and banish, plus Griffoh and Mind Shuffle to refill (Inferred)
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is a Midrange and Toolbox mix of three or four archetype threads (Light and Darkness Ritual, Branded, Despia/Ecclesia and Chaos/Stardust), so its power is judged on the system rather than on any card. Its opening odds are moderate: a 3-copy card has about a 34% chance of appearing in a going-first 5-card hand, and the 15 searcher-text cards give about a 92% chance of at least one searcher. The interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Emissaries and Stardust Dragon) is the strongest part and supports a credible going-second plan. Closing power comes from several 3000-ATK or stronger Synchro and Ritual bosses. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: it runs 3 copies of a Limited card and one Forbidden card. No combo or tournament data exists, and the 0 side cards leave no post-side plan. Popularity and card-level strength earned no points; the score comes from the system and is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51 + 0.20*42 - 12 ≈ 37, then capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 interaction: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Emissaries and Stardust Dragon
• Strong Synchro and Ritual bosses at 3000+ ATK
• Searcher density (15 cards) keeps hands functional

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: over-limit Branded in High Spirits (3 of 1) and Forbidden Albion
• Zero exact-archetype purity; engines from 4+ archetypes compete for slots
• No Side Deck; no post-side adaptability
• No combo or tournament data to confirm any line

Critical choke points

• Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden; removing it must be checked against the Branded line
• Black Chaos and Light and Darkness Ritual pieces are needed for the main boss plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence
