Legality
Main 51 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK Fusion Monster (Masquerade, Mirrorjade, Lubellion, Despian Proskenion, Guardian Chimera) from Extra Deck using Polymerization-family spells and Fallen of Albaz / Despia materials; Hand-trap and negation-supported board control, then Fusion pressure through Despia Theater and Branded Fusion
- Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Normal Summon Fallen of Albaz or Aluber, then Polymerization / Branded Fusion into a Fusion Monster; keep Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle up as the first line of protection
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a Fusion board from GY and banished Despia/Branded resources
- Recovery: Recover through Despian Tragedy and Branded Opening (GY-to-hand and deck-to-hand searches) and Frightfur Patchwork / Edge Imp Chain for Polymerization access
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side 0) so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
This OCG Despia list is illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are run three times (limit two) and Allure of Darkness twice (limit one), so the score is capped and reflects a structural-only read. Structurally the deck can open a Fusion plan reasonably often: the searcher text group (17 cards) is present in about 88% of five-card openings, and Fallen of Albaz and Aluber give an engine start in roughly 27% of hands per three-copy card. Its interaction density is high (12 hand traps, 14 negation-text and 13 removal-text cards), which lifts end-board quality, while its Extra Deck ceiling (ATK 2500-3300 Fusions) is strong on paper. The score was built from the system: consistency, interaction and resilience across the 14 dimensions, not from averaging card scores. Popularity was not rewarded; the archetype core shows only 20% of the usage-core cards in this list, and there is no combo, tournament or matchup data, so median output, turn-order and meta fit remain unknown or provisional.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(>=1 Fallen of Albaz or Aluber in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.27 per 3-copy card; searcher group P≈0.88; archetype core P≈0.64 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | Many dead-without-Fusion-target spells and 29 level-0 spell/trap slots; conflicting Normal Summon and Polymerization needs make bricks likely (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No parseable boards; ceiling read from card text only: Fusion chains into 2500-3300 ATK monsters with Polymerization and Branded Fusion (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 50 | No combo evidence, so the median cannot be measured; expected to be well below the text ceiling (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 62 | Multiple independent resources: Ghost Belle, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Despian Tragedy and Branded Opening give several recovery routes (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 65 | Searchers and GY-to-hand effects (17 searcher-text cards) recycle resources well, though most searches consume the same Polymerization access (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 72 | 12 hand traps, 14 negation-text and 13 removal-text cards; layered answers to Spell/Trap and monster effects (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 58 | Hand-trap-heavy going-second hand (P≥1 hand trap in 6 cards ≈ 0.82) plus Fusion boards; board-breaking relies on Extra Deck access (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 70 | Extra Deck top-end: Mirrorjade 3000 ATK, Despian Proskenion 3200, Guardian Chimera 3300, Masquerade 2500 with LP tax; no end-board measurement (Verified stats, Inferred pressure) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 55 | 51 main-deck cards across 23 distinct names with 13 three-copy cards; 16 tech slots and 2 spell-heavy lines lower compactness (Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 65 | 12 Fusion Monsters across 9 distinct cards; 2 copies of Mirrorjade and Lubellion; Extra access depends on Polymerization-family spells (Verified count, Inferred use) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No side deck (side 0); no post-side construction, so score is near-floor (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link and no dated meta sample; archetype is niche (usage core shows 20% present) (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Multi-step Fusion lines with several hand-trap timing decisions; high decision density (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo primary with Stun secondary, disclosed as structural-only because the deck is illegal. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-12); No side deck (-4); Dependence on Extra Deck Fusion access (-3); Banlist exposure (key cards Limited) (-3). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 55.6 before the illegal-deck cap; capped to 30 per rubric Step 2 (structural-only, theoretical)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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 text (17 cards) gives frequent access to Fusion enablers
- Layered interaction: 12 hand traps plus negation and removal text
- Extra Deck top-end with 2500-3300 ATK Fusions
Weaknesses
- Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits
- Heavy Polymerization-family dependence with 29 level-0 spell/trap slots
- No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
- No combo, tournament, matchup or guide evidence
Critical choke points
- Polymerization-family access (Polymerization, Super Polymerization, Branded Fusion, Fusion Deployment) into the Extra Deck
- Hand-trap timing on the opponent's first engine
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One copy of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and one copy of Super Polymerization | Two copies at most of each (already the legal maximum) | Clears the copy-limit violations so the list can receive a normal score |
| 2 | One copy of Allure of Darkness | A legal Limited-safe card or a second copy of a Limited-safe engine card | Allure is Limited to 1 and the deck runs 2 |
| 3 | Two level-0 spell slots | A side deck of 15 (side 0 currently) | Gives post-side flexibility and a matchup plan |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom 3/2, Super Polymerization 3/2, Allure of Darkness 2/1); Main 51, Extra 12, Side 0 (size legal for OCG); Card text and stats for all listed cards
- Inferred: Starter probability and searcher density estimates; Hand-trap and interaction density reads; Structural dimension scores and going-first/second estimates
- Provisional: Meta power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) No side deck, so no post-side evidence Meta power provisional: no dated metagame sample No deck title
