Bystial/Byssted Deck #772790 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a Level 8 Dragon (Albaz-material Fusions such as Albion, Lubellion, Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade) off Fallen of Albaz and the Branded spell/trap engine; Bystial Special Summons from hand by banishing a LIGHT/DARK monster from the GY, feeding Fusion materials
• Turn 1 (going first): Branded Opening or Branded Fusion into a Fallen of Albaz line, then Fusion Summon a Level 8 Fusion Monster; Fallen of Albaz is the key starter (P(at least 1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.34)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand gives a slightly better starter chance (≈0.39 for 3 copies); Bystial Saronir or Magnamhut from hand as a GY-banish Special Summon to start the Fusion chain
• Recovery: Fusion monsters and Branded spells in the Deck/GY recur Albaz-linked cards (Branded Regained, Blazing Cartesia, Guiding Quem); these are text-only reads (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered; no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck's structure is a Fusion-centric Albaz/Bystial system: 15 Fusion Monsters and about 18 searcher-text spells, all tied to Fallen of Albaz as the shared material and starter. Consistency is the main weakness. Fallen of Albaz, the core starter, has a hypergeometric chance of about 0.34 in an opening five-card hand, and only 2 of the 5 archetype-core cards in the usage stats are present. Interaction is thin: zero hand traps and zero floodgates, with negation carried only by text-based spells and monsters. The list is illegal (3 copies of The Fallen & The Virtuous against a limit of 2), so it does not get a normal final score. The score reflects the structure of the system, not the popularity of the archetype, and card scores were not averaged. Combo output is not measured because no boards were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-6); Banlist exposure (Limited / Semi-Limited) (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); illegal-list cap applied: 40.7 + modifiers(-10) → 31

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

• Fusion-centric engine with a clear Albaz material link across Branded and Dogmatika cards
• Strong Level 8 Fusion ceiling (Albion, Lubellion, Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade)
• Good searcher density (≈18 searcher-text cards) for finding Fallen of Albaz

Weaknesses

• Illegal: The Fallen & The Virtuous run 3 times against a limit of 2
• No hand traps or floodgates; interaction relies on text-based negations
• Fallen of Albaz is a single-card starter with ≈0.34 odds in an opening 5
• No Side Deck

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (3 copies) is required for most Fusion lines
• Branded Fusion and Branded Opening are Limited, one copy each

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; The Fallen & The Virtuous over copy limit (3 vs 2); Card stats and text for all 40 main and 15 extra cards; Usage stats: 2 of 5 archetype-core cards present
• Inferred: Starter consistency estimate ≈0.34 for Fallen of Albaz in opening 5; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Strategy classification (Combo primary)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format-fit read (D13)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck is registered, so D12 cannot be measured
