Despia Deck #772664 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK Fusion Monster (Chimera the King, Guardian Chimera, Mirrorjade, Magnum) from the Extra Deck, enabled by Fallen of Albaz and Branded Fusion; Chimera Fusion and Chimera-named Fusion lines when Chimera monsters are available, plus Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster to clear the board
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Branded Opening or Branded Fusion with a Fallen of Albaz or Despia searcher, then Fusion Summon through Fallen of Albaz or Branded Fusion while holding a hand trap for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Keep a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird) to interrupt the opponent's starter, then rebuild a Fusion line from the Graveyard with Fallen of Albaz and Branded Retribution
• Recovery: Fallen of Albaz and Branded in Red recover from the Graveyard; Gazelle, Aluber and Cornfield Coatl search through the Deck to replace the used starters
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot change matchups between games of a best-of-3

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the final score is capped at 30 and this is a structural-only read. Structurally the list reaches its engine reliably: 18 searcher-text cards give about 90 percent odds of at least one searcher in an opening 5, and the Fusion engine is backed by 18 hand traps and 23 negation-text cards, which keeps the deck resilient to a single interruption. Its ceiling is strong because the Extra Deck carries high-ATK closers (Guardian Chimera 3300, Chimera the King 2100 with a 2-copy base, Mirrorjade 3000), but there is no recorded combo data, so median output is inferred from text only. The deck spreads across Despia, Branded, Chimera, Albaz Dragon, Dogmatika and Harpie, with only 7.7 percent exact Despia purity, so the engine is coherent only through the Fallen of Albaz and Branded Fusion chain. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the score is not an average of the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-18); No side deck (-3); Engine conflict and low archetype purity (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 55.2, plus context modifiers (-7) = 48.2, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (copy-limit violations). Score is theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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 searcher and hand-trap package gives redundant access to the engine
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 2800 to 3300 ATK
• Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster give board breaking

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations on two cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity and conflicting sub-archetype engines

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (2 copies) is the material for Branded Fusion, Branded Retribution and most Fusion lines
• Branded Fusion and Branded Opening are Limited 1 each, so only one copy of each is available

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs limit 2, Super Polymerization 3 copies vs limit 2; Main 50 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side 0; Limited cards Branded Fusion, Branded Opening, Droll and Lock Bird, and Harpie's Feather Duster each run 1 copy (legal); Extra Deck: 15 Fusion Monsters across 13 distinct names; exact Despia purity 7.7 percent
• Inferred: Searcher probability 0.905 and archetype-core proxy 0.763 at hand 5; Going-second hand-trap probability 0.943; Structural dimension scores D1 to D14; Going-first 55 and going-second 60 estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit (50, no tournament context)
• Data gaps: Usage statistics flag Mirrorjade, Rindbrumm, Lubellion, Titaniklad and Despian Quaeritis as in this deck false, but these Extra Deck cards are present in the cards list (copies 1 to 2). The usage stat matching appears to omit Extra Deck cards, so the core-present percentage (36 percent) is unreliable. No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null No Side Deck registered
