Despia Deck #773101 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Fallen of Albaz-linked Fusion Monsters (Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Mirrorjade, Titaniklad, Hyperinvoked Aeon) and attack through a hand-trap-protected board; Synchro and Fusion beaters from Ecclesia/Despia (Three Champions of Swordsoul, Despian Quaeritis) if the Fallen line stalls
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Branded Fusion or Fallen of Albaz plus a searcher such as Branded Opening or Guiding Quem, then Fusion Summon a Fallen-material boss; hold Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre for the response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn effects to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Fallen of the White Dragon or Blazing Cartesia from the hand
• Recovery: Pot of Sloth and Mulcharmy Fuwalos refill the hand; Fallen of Albaz in the GY enables Dogmatika Ecclesia and Blazing Cartesia special summons
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is a Despia/Fallen of Albaz Fusion shell that reliably opens hand-trap-heavy hands (13 hand-trap or tech cards) and has a real route to 2500–3800 ATK boss monsters through Branded Fusion and Fallen of Albaz. Its structural read is middling (about 51) because the engine depends on a few single-copy starters: a three-copy starter has only about a 25% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, though the archetype core group reaches about 85%. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage statistics only confirm that the list is a recognisable build, and the Despia core is only 48% present. The score is not an average of card scores. The list is illegal (Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and four cards exceed their copy limits), so the final score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only. No combos, tournament link, or win data were supplied, so floor and median output are unmeasured.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; structural weights from the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); unmeasured_combo_output (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: raw 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-12) ≈ 37, capped at 30 for illegal status; Meta Power provisional/null

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

• Hand-trap density (13 cards) gives strong going-second interaction
• Fusion boss ceiling reaches 3000+ ATK with Fallen of Albaz routes
• Multiple archetype-core and searcher routes raise the odds of a live starter

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: a Forbidden card and four copy-limit violations
• Low exact-archetype purity (5.6%) and many off-archetype cards dilute the engine
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos, so median output is unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz (1 copy) and Branded Fusion (1 copy) are the main Fusion routes; losing them to a hand trap or Droll & Lock Bird slows the whole line
• Opening-hand starter density is low for any single 3-copy card

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal; Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and run 3 times; Four copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization, Kashtira Fenrir); Main 56 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0; Card text and ATK/DEF values for listed cards
• Observed: Composition: 12 Fusion, 2 Synchro, 1 Xyz; copy histogram 13/5/11; Archetype core presence 12/25 (48%); usage stat inclusions
• Inferred: Starter and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density and resilience from card text; Going-first and going-second split from hand-trap and interaction counts
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter, OTK rates) No Side Deck supplied (Side Deck size 0) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
