Branded Deck #772809 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large Invoked boss (Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Elysium) off Aleister-enabled material and close with ATK pressure; Magistus / Invoked Extra Deck follow-ups that negate and banish opposing interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Aleister the Reminiscent or Aiwass searches an Aleister, then Invocation or Invocation - Grail fuses an Invoked boss; Ash Blossom and Droll are held to protect the line
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle, Ghost Mourner) answer the opponent's first summon, then Aleister-based fusion resumes on the next turn
• Recovery: Ghost monsters and Invocation spells recur from the GY; Virakam and Aleister the Reminiscent return from the GY or banishment through their own effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck in the export

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system: its Aleister and Invoked engine can open a searcher-led fusion line, and it has many hand traps and recursive ghosts that protect that line on both turns. Ceiling comes from text on Hyperinvoked Aeon, Invoked Elysium and the Magistus fusions, and the median is a provisional estimate because no recorded boards exist. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype label is Branded, but the list has 0 Branded-named cards and runs 70 off-archetype copies, so the Branded usage stats do not describe this build. The score is capped low because the list breaks the OCG copy limit on Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization (3 copies each, 2 allowed), so it is theoretical and structural only. No side deck and no tournament link leave post-side and matchup dimensions provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); engine_conflict_and_no_combo_data (-4). Final formula: min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers, 35): 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 39.4, capped at 35 for Illegal status (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle, Ghost Mourner) covers both turns
• Aleister and Aiwass searcher text gives a real route to fusion starters
• Invoked fusion boss options with strong ATK and layered negation

Weaknesses

• Copy-limit violations on Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization make the list illegal as built
• Archetype label is Branded but the deck contains 0 Branded-named cards, so the stored archetype is wrong or the list is a different build
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• One CardIDList passcode is unresolved and was counted as Main, so the legality and brick counts are uncertain

Critical choke points

• Aleister monster access (3 Aleister the Reminiscent, 3 Aiwass) is required for most fusion lines
• Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the copy limit, so the build is not playable in OCG until trimmed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 (within OCG size rules); Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are over the copy limit (3 vs 2); Droll & Lock Bird is Limited and runs 1 copy (legal); Card text and stats for all resolved cards
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.25 per copy and searcher group about 0.72 in hand 5; Hand-trap group about 0.90 in going-second hand 6; Structural 53 from dimension scores and Combo weights; Going-first and going-second estimates from text
• Provisional: Median output and floor (no combos); Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent 1 passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and was counted as Main no side deck present in the export no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
