• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Midrange
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Albaz-alias Fusion chains (Fallen of Albaz, Fallen of the White Dragon x2, Albion the Shrouded Dragon x2) into 2500-3000 ATK Fusion bosses such as The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Mirrorjade and Lubellion (Inferred from card text); Synchro and Fusion bosses that negate or remove the opponent's board (Rindbrumm, Three Champions, Bystial Magnamhut) (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Branded Opening or Branded in High Spirits to reach an Albaz-alias starter, then Branded Fusion or Super Polymerization into a 2500+ ATK Fusion boss; hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the opponent's first response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C) against the opponent's first summon or search, then convert the surviving starter into a Fusion boss; the going-second hand-trap hit rate is about 0.65 (Inferred)
• Recovery: Graveyard-triggered Albaz-alias revivals and searchers (Aluber, Dogmatika Ecclesia, Guiding Quem, Blazing Cartesia) rebuild a starter after a disruption (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards and no post-side data exists (Provisional)

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Albaz-alias starter in roughly half of opening hands (about 0.51 for the five starter bodies in hand, Inferred), and its three-copy searchers (Branded in High Spirits, Ash Blossom and Mulcharmy Fuwalos) reach at least one of them in about 92% of hands. It converts that starter into 2500-3000 ATK Fusion bosses, and six hand traps plus Fallen and Virtuous and Bystial give it layered interaction on the system. Its weaknesses are a low exact-name archetype purity (18.2%, with 45 off-archetype copies that include conditional Mulcharmy cards) and no recorded combo boards, so the floor and median are inferred from text only. Archetype popularity earned no points by itself, and the score was built from the deck's consistency, conversion, and interaction taken together, not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*66.2 + 0.20*58 - 4 = 60.5, rounded to 61

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.51 · 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

• Five Albaz-alias starter bodies (Fallen of Albaz, Fallen of the White Dragon x2, Albion the Shrouded Dragon x2) give real engine access
• Fusion boss suite at 2500-3000 ATK with Dragon that Devours x2, Mirrorjade and Lubellion
• Six hand traps plus Fallen and Virtuous and Bystial give layered interaction

Weaknesses

• Exact archetype purity is only 18.2%; 45 off-archetype copies spread across several sub-archetypes
• No recorded combo boards, so floor and median are inferred from text only
• Key fusion enabler Branded Fusion is Limited at 1 copy, and Fallen of Albaz is a single copy

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz is a single copy and the only non-alias Albaz card, so Albaz-alias chains are thin if it is unreachable
• Branded Fusion is Limited to 1 copy and cannot be replaced if it is lost

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is legal: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; no violations; Banlist: Branded Fusion, Bystial Magnamhut and Maxx C are Limited at 1; Droll, Super Polymerization and Fallen and Virtuous are Semi-Limited at 2; Exact archetype purity 18.2%; Usage statistics place Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Titaniklad, Lubellion, Alba-Lenatus, Granguignol and Albion Branded as not in deck, although the card list runs them
• Inferred: P(>=1 Albaz-alias starter in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.51; Hand-trap going-second hit rate ≈ 0.65; Engine access, interaction and closing ratings from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Post-side plan (0 side cards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates); those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage statistics in this deck is false for Extra Deck cards the card list does run (Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Titaniklad, Lubellion, Alba-Lenatus, Granguignol, Albion Branded); missing core cards and core-card presence (64%) are therefore unreliable and were not used for scoring deck title is null side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability is unscored
