Dogmatika Deck #773662 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Fallen of Albaz-based boss monsters (Albion, Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Mirrorjade, Titaniklad) through the Branded/Dogmatika starter chain; Mulcharmy and Despia draw and pressure lines that convert hand advantage into Fusion beats
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Fallen of Albaz or Fallen of the White Dragon, discard into Fusion Summon, and build a Fusion boss while protecting the field with Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre and Skull Meister to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Dogmatika Ecclesia and Branded Fusion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Branded Retribution and Mirrorjade recover Fusion Monsters from the GY; Dogmatika Ecclesia and Incredible Ecclesia recur searchers (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system: its Dogmatika and Branded core (28 copies of the archetype core group, P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.98) makes an engine likely to come online early, and the 14 hand traps plus 12 negation-text cards give it real interaction. Its weaknesses come from the system, not from averaging card scores: it spreads across Branded, Despia, Mulcharmy, Tri-Brigade and Swordsoul, so several starters are conflicting or dead in some hands, and the no-combo evidence leaves the median output unmeasured. The list is Illegal under TCG rules (seven copy-limit violations, including two Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon and one Forbidden Called by the Grave), so the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only 25 and no normal Final Contextual score applies. Popularity of the archetype was not credited and no meta-share was used, and Meta Power stays provisional and null.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); hard-garnet burden (0). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural-only. Structural 58.7 (Combo profile) and TR 45 give 0.80*58.7 + 0.20*45 ≈ 56 before modifiers; with modifiers -8 it is ~48, then capped at 25 for Illegal status.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense archetype core gives high starter access in the opening hand
• Layered interaction: 14 hand traps plus negation and removal text cards
• Recursion via Ecclesia monsters and Branded Retribution
• Fusion bosses with 2500–3000 ATK for closing

Weaknesses

• Illegal under TCG copy limits (seven violations, two Forbidden cards)
• 0 side cards, so no post-side plan
• Conflicting sub-archetypes (Branded, Despia, Mulcharmy, Tri-Brigade) reduce coherence
• Fusion chains are demanding and error-prone to pilot

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz in hand or GY is the single gate to most Fusion lines
• Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden, so the Branded Fusion plan loses its main boss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and seven copy-limit violations; Two Forbidden Albion the Branded Dragon and one Forbidden Called by the Grave in the deck; 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side counts; 14 hand-trap and 17 searcher text flags
• Observed: Archetype usage: Fallen of Albaz 87.5%, Ash Blossom 95.8%, Dogmatika Ecclesia 100% among the archetype's decks
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype-core card in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.98; Engine coherence and brick-risk assessment from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit (no tournament link or dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck has no side cards, so the side-deck dimension is scored from its absence
