Branded Deck #773354 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 3 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatsticks and boss monsters (Elfnote June Pride 3100, Black Rose Dragon 2400, Kewl Tune RS) supported by hand-trap and interaction density (Inferred; no recorded boards); Mulcharmy draw-engine attrition and card advantage from opponent summons (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Synchro-capable Tuner plus an Elfnote searcher, then hold hand traps for the opponent's first summon (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler) to break the opponent's first line, then convert with Synchro or Elfnote boss monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw when the hand is empty; Elfnote Regina and Tinia reload from the Deck (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games (Verified: side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is legal, with 46 Main and 3 Extra cards, and its Limited and Semi-Limited cards are run at the legal count. Its power comes from interaction on the system: 14 hand traps and about 19 negation and 22 removal texts, with a 90% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second six-card hand, so it can answer the opponent's first summon. Its engine is thin. The Branded label does not match the list: it runs no exact 'Branded' cards and misses 6 of 10 archetype core cards, including Branded Fusion. Its starters are spread across Elfnote, Mulcharmy, Kewl Tune and Dominus, with about a 52% chance of a searcher in an opening five. No recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. The deck has no Side Deck, which limits its post-side plan. Popularity and archetype label did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-3); Archetype label vs list mismatch (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-5)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.52 · 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 and negation suite that covers the opponent's first summon
• Going-second disruption is strong (about 90% chance of a hand trap in six cards)
• Multiple independent starters and draw engines give some redundancy
• Compact, legal list with no copy-limit violations

Weaknesses

• No Branded core: 0 exact-name cards and 4 of 10 core cards, so the archetype label does not describe the list
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are unmeasured
• Reactive-heavy build with conditional Mulcharmy starters risks dead hands

Critical choke points

• Elfnote searchers (about 0.52 to find one in five cards) gate the Synchro boss plan
• Synchro Extra Deck has only 3 cards; losing June Pride or Kewl Tune RS removes the main finisher

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal list: 46 Main, 3 Extra, 0 Side; all restricted copies within limits; Exact archetype purity 0%; 4 of 10 core cards present; Hand-trap and negation text counts from role tags
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities from hypergeometric draws; Going-first and going-second plan read from card text; Interaction quality from text density
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Recorded archetype Branded does not match the card list (exact-name purity 0%)
