Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon a 3000-ATK Dracotail or Albaz-line Fusion (Dracotail Arthalion, Dracotail Gulamel, Dracotail Pan) from the Extra Deck, using Dracotail and Fallen of Albaz starters; Branded Fusion / Fallen of the White Dragon chains into Albaz-line Fusions (Lubellion, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Secreterion) for board pressure
- Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Dracotail Lukias or Mulcharmy monsters, search a Dracotail via Lukias/Ketu/Rahu Dracotail, then Fusion Summon with Dracotail Faimena or Fallen of White Dragon as material
- Turn 2 (going second): Respond to the opponent's first Special Summon with Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Droll and Lock Bird, then Fusion Summon through the disruption using Dracotail Mululu or Rahu Dracotail
- Recovery: Rebuild from the GY using Dracotail recursion (Dracotail Phryxul, Urgula, Pan effects) to re-enable a Fusion Summon
- After siding: No Side Deck is registered in the export, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system: its engine (Dracotail and Fallen of Albaz starters feeding 14 Fusion and one Synchro Extra Deck monsters) reliably reaches a Fusion Summon in a typical opening, and it has a real interaction layer (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, and several Dracotail trap and spell removal effects). It is held back by low archetype purity (9.1% exact Branded, with 50 off-archetype copies spread across Dracotail, Mulcharmy, Despia and Albaz), a no-Side Deck construction, and no recorded boards to measure the combo ceiling against the median. Popularity (the Branded archetype's 55% core-inclusion stats) and the strength of individual cards were not credited and were not averaged. The list is Illegal: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and Dracotail Lukias is run three times against a limit of two, so the Final Contextual score is capped and this evaluation is theoretical/structural only.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | Starter P(>=1 in 5-card opener) is 0.34 for 3-copy starters and 0.82 for the 11-copy archetype core group; many 2-card bootstraps exist (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | Four 3-copy starters and 22 singleton tech cards make conflicting hands and dead Mulcharmy draws plausible; no brick estimate was computed (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | No recorded boards; ceiling read from card text: Dracotail Gulamel, Arthalion and Pan can convert a Fusion into 2700-3000 ATK boards (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No board data, so floor and median are unmeasured; off-archetype and dead-card density suggests a median below the ceiling (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 58 | Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Droll cover several disruption routes, and Dracotail recursion provides a second line (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Dracotail GY recursion (Phryxul, Urgula, Pan) and Branded Retribution give some regrowth, but the grind is not measured (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | Eight removal-text and four hand-trap/negation cards, but the traps are one-per-turn and no floodgate exists (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Dracotail Flame, Horn and Sting plus Mululu can pressure a board on the second turn, but going-second split is unavailable (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Dracotail Arthalion (3000 ATK, x2), Gulamel (2800) and Pan (2700) provide closing power; the Forbidden Albion would have been the top ender (Verified card text, Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 40 | 40 main cards across 29 distinct names; 22 singletons and 9.1% exact-archetype purity point to a loose, low-coherence main deck (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 48 | Fourteen Fusions and one Synchro are full of Fallen of Albaz-dependent summons; Branded Fusion and the Albaz line require specific material (Verified composition, Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No Side Deck is present in the export, so no post-side adaptability exists (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated metagame sample; Archetype share is absent, so this is Provisional |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Multi-step Fusion lines across three archetypes with several optional Quick Effects give a high decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + Modifiers(-6) = 45; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (Step 2). Meta Power provisional/null.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 searcher and starter package (13 searcher-text cards)
- Real interaction layer: Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, plus Dracotail removal traps
- Multiple high-ATK Fusion finishers (Arthalion, Gulamel, Pan)
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: Forbidden Albion plus an over-limit Lukias
- Low archetype purity (9.1% exact Branded) and 22 singleton slots
- No Side Deck and no recorded boards to validate the combo
Critical choke points
- Fallen of Albaz-dependent Fusion summons: Branded Fusion and the Albaz-line Extra Deck cards need a specific material
- Single-copy Dracotail Mululu and Ketu/Rahu as the only Fusion enablers without a Forbidden Albion
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Albion the Branded Dragon | A legal Fusion (e.g., Dracotail Gulamel already present) or a second Dracotail Pan | Forbidden card; the list cannot be legal until it is removed |
| 2 | One copy of Dracotail Lukias | A legal Dracotail starter already in the Main Deck (e.g., a second Dracotail Phryxul) | Copy limit is 2 for Semi-Limited OCG |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 counts are within size rules; Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden in OCG and run once; Dracotail Lukias is Semi-Limited and run three times; Copy histogram sums to 40 Main cards; Exact archetype purity is 9.1%
- Inferred: Starter probabilities and the bootstrap estimate; Interaction density from card text; Pilotability and resilience estimates
- Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: 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 the deck no side deck supplied Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
