Despia Deck #772802 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a Level 8 boss (Albion the Sanctifire Dragon, Titaniklad, Mirrorjade, Dragon that Devours the Dogma) off the Fallen of Albaz / Branded starter chain; Going-second recovery through Fallen of the White Dragon, Aluber and Ecclesia recursion plus Branded Retribution / Forbidden Droplet negation
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Branded Fusion, Branded Opening, Fallen of Albaz or Blazing Cartesia to reach a Fallen of Albaz Fusion boss on turn 1 or 2 (Inferred: no combo data)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Nibiru, Ghost Belle) and Forbidden Droplet / Branded Retribution to interrupt, then Fusion through the board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Aluber and Ecclesia recursion from the GY, Gold Sarcophagus and Mulcharmy draw (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck registered (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its Fallen of Albaz / Branded Fusion engine has a very high chance of at least one searcher or starter in hand (about 0.96 from the searcher group), so the opening is reliable on paper. Its conversion is Fusion-based and reaches several 2500 to 3000 ATK bosses, while its interaction (negation, hand traps, recursion) gives it some answers after the opponent's turn. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's core usage stats confirm the list is real but do not raise the score, and no card scores were averaged. The score is capped low because the list is illegal (2 Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon, 3 Super Polymerization over the Semi-Limited limit, and 2 copies each of two Limited Branded cards), so this is a theoretical, structural-only read with no side deck and no combo data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Structural 58 (Combo profile). Unrounded 0.80*58 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 43.4, but the Illegal status caps the score at 30; this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• High probability of at least one searcher or starter in hand (0.96, Inferred)
• Two negation-capable hand traps and several negation or removal effects for endboard interaction
• Real Fusion boss ceiling at 2500 to 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 2 Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon and 3 copy-limit violations
• Zero side deck, so no post-side plan
• Heavy Extra-Deck dependence on a few Fusion starters
• Unmeasured combo floor and median

Critical choke points

• Branded Fusion (Limited, 1 copy) is the main Fusion enabler
• Fallen of Albaz is the required material for most Fusion bosses
• Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden, so its slots must be replaced

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 2 Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon, 3 Super Polymerization (limit 2), 2 Branded in High Spirits (limit 1), 2 Branded Opening (limit 1); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 against OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra up to 15, side up to 15); Usage stats: Rindbrumm 92%, Mirrorjade 88%, Droll & Lock Bird 58%, Springans Kitt 58% missing from list; Searcher-text 18, negation 9, removal 9, hand traps 2 from role tags
• Inferred: P(at least one starter in 5) 0.96 for the searcher group (hypergeometric); Fallen of Albaz is the choke point for Fusion conversion; Going-second hand trap plan with Nibiru and Ghost Belle; Dimension scores from card text, with no combo sample
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample was supplied; Matchup and format fit (D13) are provisional without tournament data
• 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 absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick, starter, or OTK rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is Illegal, so no normal Final Contextual score; score is capped and theoretical
