Branded Deck #772993 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Synchro/Link boss pressure from the Blue-Eyes and Albaz/Dragon Extra Deck (Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon), each at 1 copy; Blue-Eyes White Dragon plus Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon board, with Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster as board breakers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Sage/Maiden/Ghost Ogre/Primite Lordly Lode to reach a Tuner and Blue-Eyes or Primite lines, keeping Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird and Ghost Ogre to negate the first board, then convert with Synchro or Fusion through Super Polymerization
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Sage, Maiden of White and Spirit with Eyes of Blue, which return Blue-Eyes and Mausoleum-style resources
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (structural read only)

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a structural read only because its list is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2 and 1 copy of the Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent, so the Final score is capped at 30. Its strongest system features are dense interaction (18 negation-text and 23 removal-text cards, including 13 hand traps) and high-ATK Extra Deck bosses spread across Fusion, Synchro, Link and Xyz. Its weakest systems are consistency and coherence: 22 singleton slots, 15 Tuners and 28 level-0 Spell/Trap slots, and 70 off-archetype copies from the Blue-Eyes, Primite, Bystial, Solemn and Albaz shells, which compete for the same hand. No combos, tournament results, meta share or side deck are present, so no combo output, tournament reliability or post-side performance was credited. Archetype popularity and usage statistics were not used to earn points, and the individual card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*54 + 0.20*45 - 11 = 41. Illegal list, so capped at 30; theoretical/structural-only; Meta Power provisional/null

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 interaction: 13 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards give several independent answers
• High-ATK Extra Deck bosses across Fusion, Synchro and Link
• Extra Deck covers four summon types, so one opening line can branch

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and Ash Blossom is over its copy limit
• 22 singleton slots and 70 off-archetype copies lower repeatability
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Archetype label 'Branded' does not match any card in the list

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) gates the Albaz Dragon fusion routes (Albion, Lubellion, Mirrorjade)
• Super Polymerization (1 copy) is the only fusion enabler in the main deck
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (2 copies, P(in opening 5) about 0.18) gates the Blue-Eyes line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 violations (Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2; Triple Tactics Talent Forbidden); Composition: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; copy histogram 22 singleton / 6 double / 7 triple; Extra Deck: Link 3, Synchro 6, Fusion 5, Xyz 1; Card stats: Neo Blue-Eyes 4500 ATK, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit 3500 ATK, Blue-Eyes Tyrant 3400 ATK, Red-Eyes Fullmetal 3400 ATK
• Inferred: Starter access: P(>=1 searcher-text in opening 5) = 0.76; 3-copy starters 0.25, 2-copy starters 0.18; Hand-trap availability: P(>=1 hand trap in 6 going second) = 0.82; Interaction density of 18 negation and 23 removal text cards (semantic read); Going-first and going-second estimates are approximate and built from the structural dimensions
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample exists; D13 matchup/format fit is provisional: no tournament link and the archetype label does not match the list
• Data gaps: 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 for this deck: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Archetype label 'Branded' matches no card in this list (exact-name purity 0%); usage statistics describe a different Branded/Albaz build usage_statistics marks Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon as not in this deck although the card list contains 1 copy in the Extra Deck, so core matching looks main-deck-only and core_present_pct 22.2 is unreliable
